Sometimes you think you understand something until it's time to execute it

One man.

Years of complete isolation on a deserted island.
Robinson Crusoe is the original survival story that still hits hard.

What works: Khadeen Indréa’s sharp lawyer/cornered mom dual threat. Friend group actually listens.
What doesn’t: All-caps writing, waved-at-camera clues, “accuser did it” from ep 2. Weekly soap tax.
Tone: BET+ soapy, church-adjacent, twisty. Sistas fans only. Not subtle drama

Tyler Perry will let a wife play detective for episodes and then flip the whole house with one lab result. Messy. Loud. Exactly the show.

Secret Wars should erase most of the old MCU and leave only Tom Holland’s Spider-Man as the real bridge. The rest are washed nostalgia bait. Recast them all. Keeping Holland is the only smart move.

I have a weird feeling that Secret Wars is going to leave us with a much smaller piece of the old MCU than people expect.

If this really is Marvel’s chance to rebuild the universe, I can see a lot of the major characters being recast and their stories starting fresh.

But Tom Holland’s Spider-Man? I feel like Marvel keeps him.

His Peter has already grown through multiple phases, and unlike most of the old guard, he can naturally exist in a rebuilt MCU without needing to explain away decades of continuity.

Maybe the new Fantastic Four survive too. Maybe Thor does. Maybe Daredevil continues. But I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if we come out of Secret Wars and realize Tom’s Spider-Man was one of the very few pieces Marvel chose not to reset.

And if that happens, Peter Parker might end up being the character that connects the old MCU to whatever comes next. 👀

How can guy gardener makes huge constructs carelessly in superman whereas Hal Jordan does the opposite and is careful for his batteries

I was curious about this for a long time Guy always goes big and sloppy with his constructs, not caring how much it drains his ring like creating a large weopons against the monster, while Hal's way more careful and precise with his like in ep1 when he was creating a bubble for alien he supported the bubble himself as it was not strong enough due to lack of battery. Is that just a characterization thing, or is there an actual reason for it?

The Middle (2009–2018)
This is the rare network sitcom that looks like an actual house. Patricia Heaton is exhausted in a funny way, not a sitcom-cute way. That’s why it lasted.

[Phranklinton @Phranklinton1]

There’s actually a pretty interesting distinction here: Guy and Hal aren’t necessarily using their rings differently because one has more energy. They’re using them differently because they have completely different philosophies about being a Green Lantern.

Guy tends to brute-force his imagination. His constructs are huge, aggressive and intentionally excessive because that’s how he fights—overwhelm the problem before it becomes a bigger problem. Hal is much more controlled and economical. He thinks about exactly what construct he needs, how much power it requires, and how long he needs it to last.

That makes the battery detail in Superman especially interesting. If Hal is supporting the alien’s bubble because the construct is weakening, while Guy is casually throwing around enormous weapons, it can suggest that Guy simply has a much higher tolerance for wasting ring energy—or that his ring is operating under different circumstances.

There’s also a character-story explanation: Guy is reckless; Hal is disciplined. Their construct styles are basically visual representations of their personalities. Guy’s ring work looks like Guy is yelling with his fists. Hal’s looks like Hal is solving a problem.

So unless the movie/show establishes that Guy’s ring has some specific advantage over Hal’s, I’d read it primarily as intentional characterization rather than a hard rule that Guy’s ring has more battery capacity.

Endgame’s ending was once pure, perfect closure. Now the Encore version reframes Cap’s quiet goodbye as the softest, most calculated setup in MCU history — Loki at the door and that hammering sound turning farewell into foreshadowing. Marvel doesn’t do endings anymore.

Endgame Encore completely changes how we look at the ending of Endgame.

For years, Steve Rogers returning the shield to Sam and then sitting on that bench felt like the perfect goodbye. It was the ending of the Infinity Saga the final chapter of everything those movies had built.

But now? It feels less like an ending and more like a setup for Doomsday.

The extended Steve scene gives that goodbye a whole different weight. And even the hammering at the end suddenly feels suspicious. What we originally watched as closure can now be interpreted as Marvel quietly planting something for the next chapter.

That's the problem with the MCU: sometimes the scene you thought was telling you to think a certain way is actually telling you that you're going to think about it that way later.

Frances O’Connor’s Fanny is sharper than the “quiet good girl” tag. The movie is livelier than the novel’s reputation and sloppier when it tries to make Austen modern and spicy at the same time.

This clip is the stare-down after the story stops lining up. Watch who talks first and who looks at the kid. César is fighting for custody and for a version of his marriage that may never have been real. Adriana is gone.
