the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
We saw the Flash movie last night, and it was decent -- better than Batman v Superman and better than Justice League for sure (I only saw the original release of Justice League, not the Zack Snyder cut). Michael Keaton as Old Man Batman was a delight. I like Ezra Miller as the Flash (although they are a shitty person).
But it honestly suffers in comparison with the TV show, which already covered the topic of how Barry Allen needs to stop fucking up the timeline by running into the past. And as a multiverse movie, it's unfortunate that it's out at the same time as Across the Spider-Verse, because nothing comes close to Across the Spider-Verse. And the CGI is terrible.
Unrelated to the Flash, the trailer for Indiana Jones makes me want to see it entirely for Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

It was... OK. They gave away WAY too much in the trailers. I found Miller to be a little more annoying than you did.

I feel like I either didn't see the trailer(s), or immediately forgot them.

I didn't expect to like him as much as I did, so that was a nice surprise.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Miller uses they/them pronouns, btw.

Thanks for the reminder, Dana. I even remembered in my previous post and forgot in the last one, dang it.

I'm glad Wikipedia is there, because I had to check.

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

I always think of this comic: [link]
Like how "I read it on the internet somewhere" is generally shorthand for "I cannot verify this information" but actually, you totally can! You can look it up on the internet again and see almost immediately if your information was correct or from a reliable source! The pre-internet version "I saw it in a magazine/newspaper/bus stop advertisement/bar napkin somewhere" is way less verifiable!
