You put the quarter in him.

Respectfully, I did not. Huskar did

Hey, that's rude.

Just a quarter. I'm a high end rant machine. It'd take at least a dollar.

Somehow I missed the second trailer for Shang Chi that features a surprise at the end I won’t spoil and a surprise towards the end I totally will…FING FANG MOTHERFUCKING FOOM!

Oh man, am I so delighted.

[Ameriganastan]

Gee, thanks Cannot. It's not like some people don't watch the 2nd trailer specifically to avoid spoilers or anything. But no, just throw it out there...

FOOOOOOM!

And unless you were going to jump off the internet entirely, there's no way you were going to avoid spoilers like that.

Yeah, I hope you don't wanna enjoy the next episode of Loki. Cause I'm gonna make sure to stay up late and TG you spoilers on it now.

See how you like it.

He's a west coaster. He doesn't have to stay up late to watch Loki

Like I'm opening TGs while watching Loki. I barely check TGs under normal circumstances. Like when I'm bored and need to clear out WA stuff and block unsolicited TG senders.

The #SaveDaredevil crowd is getting desperate, it seems.

12am is staying up.

7pm... now that's not having to stay up.

Not that I usually watch these shows as soon as they're available... I wait a little: 7pm is too early for dinner. But I could if I wanted to.

ABOMINATION!

That was the big one for everyone else. For me...I mean...I think I've been clear. I am more amped for this movie than I should be. I did read some Master of Kung Fu as a kid...I was basically a sucker for the exploitation comics, that nacho cheese that was the 70s. I had to get them from the old bin but they were the cheap ones. Maybe that was the draw. You could get close to a whole run for like $20. But, I didn't really follow Master of Kung Fu. I like Simu Liu from Kim's Convenience...more than he liked it, apparently. I don't think I'll get another go at Iron Fist in...a while. I think Awkwafina is hilarious which is strange to me because I don't normally like loud fast comics that do a lot of current pop culture stuff, even when I wasn't old. But she's hi


Who the fuck is still reading this? Stoned...

But she's hi

What does this even mean?

Did you mean to write "but I'm high"?

Breakdown videos are raining on my parade, I guess somewhere someone said something about it not really being Fing Fang Foom but a something dragon (my sadness prevents me from remembering and i don't want to look it up again). It'll just be Fing Fang Foom esque. Maybe because Fing Fang Foom sounds like a white dude in the 70s coming up with a fake Chinese name. I dunno.

Also, apparently folks think that the first dude that Abomination is fighting is Wong 'cause there's sorcerer light effects and...I dunno. Also don't know why Wong would be in a cage fight. That's an odd crossover for no reason. I mean, if it happens I'm sure they'll come up with a reason but...meh.

Maybe it's Mephisto.

[Forsher]

I mean, I'd say Fin Fang Foom is an obvious play on Fe Fi Fo Fum, but it's got an etymology on Wikipedia:

Writer-editor Stan Lee's inspiration for the character's name was the title of the 1934 movie version of the long-running British stage musical Chu Chin Chow. As Lee described in 2005:

When I was a kid, I loved going to the movies. When I say a kid, I mean 10, 11, 12 years old. And there was one movie I'd seen. I remember nothing about it except the name. It took place in China, I believe, and the name of the movie was Chu Chin Chow. Now I have no idea what it meant — I don't know if it was somebody's name or a country or a city, but I never forgot that name. Those three words just stuck in my memory: Chu Chin Chow. So when I was looking for the name of a monster, I remember Chu Chin Chow... and that particular meter, that beat, somehow led to Fin Fang Foom.[3] (transcript of 2005 interview)

Chu Chin Chow is an adaptation of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.

Hilariously, Aladdin is actually meant to be Chinese... so it may turn out that Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is a more authentic adaptation of Aladdin than either current version.

I didn't know that Richard Grant was going to be in Loki. Kind of screams 'old man Loki' at this point. I mean, if you're going to pick someone to play old man Loki, Richard Grant would be it. Whatever he plays he reduces the chance of Kang to near zero. It was a bit of a longshot. Actually it was always a lot of a longshot. Anyway, seems like the theory videos are onboard with Grant as Old Man Loki. They make a compelling case.

Isn’t Hiddleston already old man Loki? The wrinkles

Grant would be good as that. He kind of looks like what you would expect Hiddleston took look as old.

Hopefully; it will pick up. The last episode with Lady Loki was rather boring.

See, I'm not the only one who found that episode boring.

That!….would be cool. I liked the Daredevil show.

Now if Disney wants me to kiss their ass…..bring back Jon Bernthal as the Punisher.

Pucker up, motherfucker.

Well, a rumor. For a season 2. Of a show that hasn't even wrapped its first season yet. So maybe don't pucker up quite yet.

Yeah, but it's not interesting when you do it.

Oh, Moon Knight.

So, a while back, I was playing some Marvel XBOX game with my young nephew, whose favorite part of the game was apparently the team selection screen. At one point we were stuck, mainly because every time he hit a setback or just got bored with whoever he was playing, he'd escape out to the team selection screen and pick a different character. Anyway, he jumped back out to the selection screen and, as he picked his new character, he announced, "Only Moon Knight can save us now!"

My brother looked over at me and said, "That's the first time in the history of the universe those words have ever been spoken."

I can't tell you how annoyed with myself that I didn't use "buttercup" instead of "motherfucker."
