It's great advice. It is easy to get into the herd mentality around this time of year. I always say that Willpower is a finite resource but if there were a time of year to maximize your use of that resource it begins tonight and ends on January 4th. Don't expect every day to be perfect but you probably need to push a little harder (a lot harder?) to make sure that everyday isn't a complete and utter failure either.

I like what you say in the bolded, it is well considered and a solid argument for why Peter was chosen as a legacy by Tony. They set that up well over four films. But being flawed as a human being, no need for the recap btw I already acknowledged Stark was highly reckless, is far different than handing city destroying power to anyone without any form of safeguards. The notion that Happy couldn't have made a phone call to Pepper and tell her to shut down EDITH is patently absurd. The most important aspect of Stark's character arc also includes growing because of his mistakes. @Insein g

I think everyone knows he's a whiz-kid, even if the films had downplayed that until his multiverse observations, but that is not the same as being responsible enough to handle nuclear level firepower. He's a kid with extremely limited experience, immediately demonstrated that and it was absolutely foreseeable by a guy like Stark. Look, I enjoyed the film and am one of the biggest MCU geeks around these parts but not having safeguards in the highly foreseeable event of a 16 year old genius making bad decisions is a lot to accept. It was theatrically lazy.

I got that part. It was horrendously implausible to the point of being stupid. Even at his drunkest and most irrational Tony Stark isn't that reckless. Great safety protocols Tony. Bang up job.

Fair enough.

Saw it, enjoyed it.

Welcome to the party. @Tool look into something called non- exercise activity thermogenesis (N.E.A.T.) I'll post some more about it later but the bottom line is that for weight loss the gym is not the best option.

Why in the world would you run at 7am? Was someone chasing you?

It was five movies and that could be it for Spidey in the MCU but it would be madness for Marvel Studios and Sony not to come back to the table. I believe Sony cannot use Holland as Spider-Man in any other feature films (which is why he wasn't in Venom and won't be in Carnage) so if they don't come back to the table that means yet another Spider-Man reboot and that sounds like bad business for all concerned.

End to his story? Holland is awesome as Spider Man. I imagine Disney & Feige see Holland as an MCU tent pole for Phase Four and beyond.

I LOOK LIKE CHRIS HEMSWORTH!!!

So we finally finished our movie previews and I took my wife to see Endgame last Sunday. She loved it, which is great. She also said that she finally realizes how much I look like Chris Hemsworth, so I got that going for me too.

Agreed but that was recapped in Infinity War well enough.

Yup. But we're still watching it again. Endgame was awesome and amazing but it loses something if you don't have a ton of background fresh in your mind.

Fortunately don't have to. We have ant man 1&2, BP, GotG 1&2, and Captain Marvel covered well enough in her memory. Not doing Civil War, IM3, Hulk & Homecoming. We're going to watch the rest of Dark World (watched half last night), Winter Soldier, AoU (should this be before Winter Soldier?), Dr. Strange, Ragnarok then IW.
