so instead of showing the world cup opening ceremony i expect the bbc crew to give everyone watching a lecture about ethics and human rights like they did in 2022
When it was Qatar 2022 BBC, Sky News and ITV News were doing segments for 40 days and 40 nights about human rights abuse and campaigning for alcohol to be allowed during the World Cup. But USA is refusing to allow a referee and Iran’s team in and they’ve gone quiet. Cowards
It’s mad that Italy were dogshit for a decade, then out of nowhere they peaked during Euro 2020 just to cockblock England out of their first trophy since 66, then straight back to being absolute wank again 😭
Thierry wanting to show people the true Micah beyond the laughs is pure big brother energy, but the ability for him to take this tangent and for everyone to go with it so naturally speaks so well of all of them, and the producers of this show.
The gold standard.
The Avengers (2012) worked because. Years of solo films did the character work first. Hollywood skipped that context and learned the wrong lesson, treating crossovers as shortcuts, rushing shared universes before audiences had anything to invest in.
