I don’t think “throwing at the wall” is an accurate representation of what her character is doing in the film. Plus Famke Janssen was a pretty solid Jean Grey. The third X-Men film was rough, I’ll give you that. And if you wanted to call Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey throwing the Phoenix Saga at the wall, that might fit, but at the moment this is rebooting a character with a clean start.

If it all ends up being wasted, sure, but at the moment it’s a strong start to a new story.

Someone is “lost”, but it isn’t Moe.

Mostly Bart.

Gentlemen, this canary died of natural causes.

Back in the hole! Correct!

What about the beer baron?

I suspect he was just an invention of the media. Correct!

It was perfect. I hope they don’t ever break/undo the spell, but if they do it at this point I won’t be disappointed since this was done so perfectly.

It was one of those great “theater scenes” where everyone is excited and trying to figure it out and then… crushed.

Which is such a shame because,

Jenkins, who created HBO’s “Our Flag Means Death” pirate comedy, was hired in July 2025 to pen the pilot and serve as showrunner if it was ordered to series.

Is basically the perfect pitch for who should be writing this show.

Obviously it could have been garbage, but I think a series in that style would be perfect.

The Thing should be fine.

Hey, Dad, has the movie started yet?

Correct!

The worst thing about Foundation is the Foundation.

The Empire story is 10/10, but the Foundation story is passable at best. The Empire story gets better and better, and season three was amazing.

If the show were more popular someone probably would have made a supercut of just Empire stories and it would be amazing.

May was being the mother that she didn’t have.

Jean and her sister talk about their mother abandoning them once they got their powers. Jean even tries to rationalize it as what else could her mother do.

Jean and Peter are also both living lives of isolation. Jean only had her sister so it doesn’t take much for her to turn antagonistic. Peter had a stronger foundation, but even he starts to slip, he throws Scorpion into a police car and nearly kills the officer inside.

Peter is able to find his way back because he finally reaches out and interacts with MJ and Ned. He has a friend. That’s all Jean needed. Jean needed someone, she needed a friend.

When Jean sees Peter’s memory she sees the kindness she’s been missing. She tries to dismiss it as just a memory, but Peter says he’ll be her friend. Jean wants to be a good person, but if everyone treats you as a monster, you act like a monster.

I’ve seen a lot of the marketing/news, and I was still surprised by a lot of this film. It’s been strongly rumored that Sadie Sink was playing Jean Grey, but how her story was told was a complete surprise and what was told was excellent.

I also like that, similar to Loki, she is starting as a villain. Now her story gets to be her becoming a hero.

Also I want Spider-Man vs Kingpin. Someday.

Phenomenal.

First, yes, Sadie Sink is playing Jean Grey. Ok, onto film spoilers.

My favorite scene has to be the “unforgivable” MJ fake out. I didn’t believe it, but I wanted to believe it. Jean Grey called it, true loves kiss breaks the spell. Fucking liar. Absolutely crushed. It also perfectly shows us how great Peter is. He can forgive Jean for something unforgivable and be her friend.

Also a highlight to the cinematography, especially during the fight with The Hand. Spider-Man flips, the camera flips. Swordfighting fun. Just solid.

And of the course the post credits. We have a Spider-Man in New York. We have a Spider-Man in space. This film showed us BOTH Spider-Men! Next up must be “The Punisher goes to Space!”

The news comes despite the fact that Disney announced a Season 2 renewal for the show back in March, roughly two months after it debuted.

I hate this new trend of renewed means maybe.

I hope the characters appear again elsewhere, but even then the style of the show was something new.

The Doorman episode alone makes the series worth watching. (And if you haven’t watched it, and don’t want to, go watch that episode. It’s mostly standalone.)

She’s a Simpson again!

Correct!

Aegon makes sense, everyone wants to be the next Conqueror.

But Daeron is surprising. Although given how confusing all the different names already are it’s probably for the best they don’t reuse them too often.

Exactly. It’s called “Superhero fatigue” but it’s wildly inaccurate. It’s bad movie fatigue. Not that pre-Endgame we didn’t have bad films, they were just more in the beginning of the saga and people were more forgiving.

Plus it’s not like the MCU was alone in putting out bad movies. We had the Sony Spider-Man without Spider-Man films (Venom, etc) and the DCEU which had great films, but more bad than good.

I will always find it funny that at the end of Venom 2 Eddie Brock and Venom jump universes and see the “Spider-Man revealed as Peter Parker” newscast, basically setting up Eddie Brock and Venom being in the MCU, then near the end of Spider-Man No Way Home we get a random scene of Eddie Brock learning about Thanos… and immediately sent back to his universe.

So technically the crossover already happened… Venom just didn’t interact with anyone. Well except Danny Rojas.

Ducktales (2017).

Sure you could watch the original from the 80s, but if you grew up on that series and 90s Disney cartoons then the 2017 Ducktales series will be a treat for you both.
