Oof, this is similar to the argument that weirdos here use against having minimum food standards - "well the market will just allow the quality ones to shine!"

Listen, I don't want to have to check through a dozen jars of sawdust and woodlouse shells every time I want to buy some peanut butter, pal

There was a bunch of merch but it was all, like... sensible? Like stuff that we, the target kid audience, might actually want, like lunchboxes and watches and so on. This is just... a brand slapped on a thing for the sake of it and aimed at nobody

Athena: Dad, when will you learn - every time you reveal one of your demigod kids you end up having to protect them from your wife

Zeus: Well it's like I always say; a child should be seen and not Hera'd

Athena: ...get out

It's incredible that this finally exists 😭😭😭

It genuinely feels like an era-specific piece of design in the way that a modern pastiche wouldn't have been able to capture

See, there we go; Loki spins right out of Endgame and opens up all the multiverse stuff that follows right from the start, while WandaVision is a little way into the aftermath but before anybody's got their shit back together

The thing about being moderately online is that I only ever learn about YouTubers when they do something unbelievably heinous; whenever I look they always have 50 million subscribers and thousands of comments saying "noooo not Squigglyfloop, he was my entire childhood" and I'm like

TBH I think AM&tW works either way around, although this way makes the post-credits a "wtf just happened" rather than an "oh no"

So mixed results for doing a chronological pre-Endgame run, although I'm expecting the post-EG stuff to be more drastically and positively affected by shuffling it around

This was waiting for me when I got back home yesterday and if you're wondering why your favourite obscure character isn't statted up, I want you to know that it's because I *personally* made sure that those pages were used to include all the members of A-Next instead

You're WELCOME.

Mr Hasbro: what did you do? I told you that he still needs to turn into a gun

God, I am so ready for this dig to be done this week, I am incredibly sick of the sound of rain on tarpaulin 😩😩😩

Embarking on a reread of what is probably still my favorite fantasy series and I appreciate how up-front it is about the type of reader it's aimed at

I think a lot of folks will see the 92-character Dramatis Personae at the start and justifiably say "oh, fuck OFF," saving themselves a lot of time

Having a whole year of TV stuff capped off with a mostly off-Earth movie actually works pretty well to emphasize the Avengers breakup; it makes it feel like there's this big stretch where the big guns aren't doing anything useful any more
