Shang chi looked beautiful and has great fighting. If we get more of that....cool.

But I'm sick of multiverse stuff and don't want anything too crazy despite rumors of it being another multiverse thing.

They set up the last movies end for Peter to have some real, lower stakes (lower than save the whole universe or country) fun.

Honestly going to be a little annoying whatever way they go because I want Tom and Zendaya together in these but she don't remember him and if they go back to Garfield/Maguire again it feels lazy

As one of many people who were deeply disappointed that Bucky wasn't chosen to become Captain America, this teaser has me pretty hyped.

That said, can we stop with these G-rated covers of Where Is My Mind? or is is just this and Creep for the rest of our lives?

I'm enjoying "Agatha All Along", having watched the first two episodes. I'll watch Aubrey Plaza and Kathryn Hahn in anything, but what I've appreciated is they've written a lot of "if you know you know" things in the script (like a jade egg / kegel joke) that make it watchable for younger viewers and older viewers alike. So far they haven't sanitized Agatha or attempted to un-villain her. And Aubrey Plaza will always be served best as an unhinged and violent queer lady (shout out to Legion).

I'm also impressed Marvel didn't throw in a 22 year old former Disney star to be in the coven. They're leaning on the "mother/crone" and the "maiden" being a teenage twink. I'm in.

Really enjoyed the first two episodes of Agatha, but the third one brought up some concerns for me. The trials and "fears being brought to life" concept isn't exactly original, and the way the show drops obvious hints about someone from Agatha's past and how they may or may not be dead (which almost certainly means they are not dead), I really hope the show doesn't treat their inevitable introduction as some massive surprise to the audience. I also assume Aubrey Plaza is the green witch she was avoiding?

Anyway, hoping for some more fun Agatha Harkness outfits to pop up, because I definitely want to incorporate her into my Halloween outfit this year.

...guess nobody else watched "Agatha"? We tuned in for the finale tonight. Loved it.

I've been watching it. It's solid. I like all the people in it. Despite multiple connections it does feel a bit disconnected from the MCU. Haven't watched the finale yet though.

We lost access to Disney+ when the relative whose account we were using canceled. Planning to catch up on this via torrent, but haven’t gotten around to downloading yet b/c dealing with the Pirate Bay and its endless pop up ads and spoof links is such a pain in the ass.

Reading really good things about it, though, so I’ll get my ass in gear on it soon.

It's been years since I've watched any other MCU stuff (I did see Wandavision) so that's one of the many reasons I like it.

I'm the perfect demographic for it, but I'd argue that the last 3 episodes were pretty damn exceptional.

Yeah, that's not necessarily a complaint about the show. It's still enjoyable to watch even though i've had a few elements spoiled for me. But I was thinking the other day how it almost feels a bit like just a show about witches which is fun. The whole witches road journey and forming a coven to do it is just a simple but effective "adventure" for these characters to go on.
