He was "sharing the load"

I kinda lost the thread on this one, but damn this is funny!
There's not that many!
Yet.
Also, I see now why people were talking about fucking that popcorn bucket.
Give it time. Give it time.

Yup, that's the bucket!
He just looks off- like he is a kiddie fiddler... or is it just me?
Yup. There's also a "What if?" (not the Marvel thing) question that we can never answer, but think about:
A lot of people are saying "This book / game / movie is perfect. There is absolutely no need to remake it."
What if... tech was available back in Shakespeare's day? And, instead of plays, all of Shakespeare's works... were movies.
Again, not possible, I get it. But what if? What if he didn't make plays. What if he told all of his stories via Movies? ... and we had access to them... TODAY.
Does that mean that no one could ever do Romeo and Juliet... ever... because The Bard did a perfect version of it hundreds of years ago and it was RECORDED?
No way to answer that, but I think it's good food for thought...
That would've been interesting, but even those things would be open to interpretation. There would always be someone that either wanted to put their unique twist on it or pay homage to it in some way. I'm not going to pretend I know everything about Shakespeare's works, but how many books, movies, and TV shows are loosely based on the Bard's work now?
They borrow certain elements, characters, plot devices, premises from his old plays (and other authors, playwrights, and poets as well.) Had those things been movies back then- people would still do exactly what they're doing today.

Kitchen still has power but some rooms don't and it's not the circuit breaker, very frustrating. But it could have been worse, I could not have the computer.
Silver linings, eh?
That's about the same thing I'm saying though. Most of the recent films have been absolute dreck. Still made a shit load of money.
Look at the last few years: Eternals, The Marvels, Black Widow, Quantumania, were all objectively bad movies. Only The Marvels was considered a failure though, not because it lost a lot of money, but because it only broke about even. The rest of these movies made a lot of money.
I don't really watch TV or stream much, so I haven't seen She Hulk or Loki or WandaVision
The Eternals was awful for awful's sake. It was just Marvel going, "we're progressive, look at us, look what we did". Also, also it wasn't one of those books that was exactly screaming to have a movie made of it in the first place. You suddenly have a team of "Gods" and they had to cram everything- origins, plot, and something shiny to make it interesting. It didn't and it wasn't. The weird bad CGI monsters? There was just nothing in that movie. The Black Knight teaser couldn't even save it.
NOW before y'all start throwin' middle fingers and dislikes... you need to understand something.
As a "dyed in the wool"/hardcore comic fan/self-proclaimed nerd" (who got his ass handed to him for liking comics/D&D/Sci-fi/Action figures)*. Comic books back in the day didn't address these things- and to be quite honest they didn't need to- they were about action and fantasy and space and distant lands and aliens...you name it. It was purely for the escapism.
They didn't deal with genders or proclivities or politics (until later), any of that stuff- due to the "Comics Authority Code" it was like the MPAA or ESRB for comics. You didn't touch on these subjects because they were divisive. THAT costs you your readership.
Those that agree- stayed. Those that didn't- found other books to read and yours lost money.
This was back before there were 42 variants covers (of the same Goddamn book), Chromium covers, Exclusive covers, and Incentive covers.
The only incentive back then was to buy the book because you wanted to read it. You liked the story, the characters, the costumes, the pretty colours, or whatever made you buy the book.
*NOW those very same people are the ones going to the movies, wearing the merchandise, and pretending that they know all about "comics" just because they've seen 1 or 2 movies**. If any of y'all know ANYTHING about the "Infinity Gauntlet" story arc- you know it had nothing to do with the movies and it couldn't because there was just too much back story that people couldn't or wouldn't follow. Thanos as the lover of Lady Death (not the Chaos Comics version) wouldn't be interesting enough to get asses into seats or sell movie tickets.
They're going to be doing a "Secret Wars" movie (supposedly) Marvel was smart in building the groundwork the way they did- introduce most of the characters in stand-alone movies THEN form the Avengers. Now IF they do the "Secret Wars" it just might make sense. I'm not saying that it's going to be a great movie, but it has potential.
**Talk about "cultural appropriation".
That's a good point, the other Marvel offerings compared to Justice League or Black Adam are heads above DC movies. (WW1984 blech)
I'm a Marvel fan, too. Maybe not a fanboy, but I like to watch the movies.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The "Hack" Snyder Cut of JL didn't need to be made. It neither added nor took anything away from the one that preceded it. He added fluff to pad it out and it wasn't necessary. They created plot points with no resolution and just crammed things in there that made no sense and didn't create these connections that they were supposed to- the Martian Manhunter made absolutely no sense at all. Again, why did both Steppenwolf's look like such wusses? Villains shouldn't have sad "cow eyes"- especially if they're the Uncle of Darkseid. Shouldn't he have been a LOT more bad ass?
Mini-rant over.
