That honestly makes me feel much better!
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

I want a lot of things out of the Daredevil Born Again finale (mostly I want Foggy alive, god damn it), but I'd really like a throwback to Netflix Daredevil and have Kingpin making and eating a damn omelette.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So that episode was very much "this was the mid season finale before we decided it was 2 seasons of 9 episodes instead of 1 season of 18."
Also, I was kind of disappointed with Frank calling out the fanboys. Just calling them clowns and saying "You don't understand my pain!' felt pretty weak.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Next season will only be 8 episodes, and there will be a separate Punisher One-Shot (because one shot is all Frank Castle needs).

Next season is just going to be 8 episodes of Kingpin eating omelettes.

Another Fantastic Four trailer. I don’t know why they’re so hesitant to show Reed being stretchy (although they do briefly show him being stretchy here).

Works for me!

I'm wearing my Moon Knight t-shirt to Thunderbolts tonight, instead of the 13-year-old Captain America shield t-shirt I usually wear to comic book movies. But I am wearing the POW! earrings I always wear to comic book movies.

Because of my own personal obsession, I was disappointed there was no Kingpin cameo in Thunderbolts, considering that Void using his powers of depression on an entire city took place in NYC, and Kingpin is the damn mayor of NYC. So I feel like he might have something to say about it. But, again, that's my own personal deranged level of love for Kingpin.
That doesn't mean I didn't like Thunderbolts -- I did really like it! I am always in favor of more Yelena Belova and Bucky, and I generally like Red Guardian. The movie also did the impossible, and made me like John Walker. I didn't see that coming at all.
I do kind of feel like the whole defeating-the-depression-monster-through-the-power-of-friendship thing was pretty heavy-handed, but on the other hand, that kind of thing is generally my jam, and I usually overidentify with characters with trauma (which is basically every superhero/vigilante ever).
I am 100% neutral on Bob, unlike my brother, who is thrilled the movie stayed more or less faithful to the character's comic book backstory. Bob just didn't grab me, but I'm also not opposed to him.
In conclusion, New Avengerz should totally use the -z forever.

Finally saw Thunderbolts. I enjoyed it though I'm kind of baffled/disappointed by them just offhandedly killing Taskmaster and no one, not even Yelena, really caring. I mean, I realize that she meant a lot more to Natasha in "a monster I created" sense but after what a big deal breaking the Black Widow programming for everyone, including her, was in that movie it just seemed like a waste.
