It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have bought my ticket for The Marvels. What the heck is " in 4DX"? That is not what I am going to, and I don't actually want to know what it means, I don't think, I just want to be appalled by it.

The Marvels was GOOD. Iman Vellani is a STAR. The crowd I was with cheered in several places.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yay! Can't wait to see it!

Right?! The audience I was in was very appreciative. So fun!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Marvels: I want to see the version of this movie that includes the Bollywood/Kpop dance scene that was way too obviously left on the cutting room floor. GIVE ME THE SCI FI MUSICAL OF MY DREAMS YOU COWARDS.

I was definitely expecting that to happen, although I was just so delighted by Aladna I couldn't be too bothered by what I was missing out on

Well, The Marvels was *delightful*!

Also: Young Avengers! Young Avengers!

I also want to know how many women Tessa Thompson turned gay by wearing that suit, because DAMN.

And one more thought about The Marvels: I never ever thought I would hear an Andrew Lloyd Webber song in an MCU movie. I was HOWLING with laughter at “Do not run from the flerkens. Let them eat you.” and at Kamala pointing the flerkittens at the SABRE agents. I would have liked to see at least one SABER agent shrug and go “This might as well happen” before getting gobbled up by a flerkitten.

Steph, the answer is ALL OF US, except for women who have seen Tessa Thompson in a suit before. Because, indeed, DAMN.

My family debated on the way home which song from Cats we would have chosen for that scene instead of Memory. (It's a classic for a reason, but imagine if they'd used Magical Mister Mistoffelees.)
