Those have been cute Easter Eggs, along with the bathroom graffiti. No doubt during the Blip, some of those that remained, their lives got better, and were probably pi##ed when everyone came back. And now you have this whole movement of "Thanos Was Right" people.

That was shown in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier 

 
We are enjoying Hawkeye.  Kate and Clint are great together. 

Hope some of you are right with the reveals in the final 2 eps.  A lot to resolve though!

Don't want to get political in this wonderful thread, but you are spot on. No doubt certain people here would and do feel that way for real.

politics be damned.  there are too many people on this planet.  that's what thanos' argument was.  there were too many people for the planets to support.  hence 50% less.

If Charlie Cox shows up in the last episode of Hawkeye after they reveal that the uncle is Kingpin, I'll wet my pants.

I'm not thinking that happens. Probably in Echo. There's to much going on in Hawkeye right now and it's not really about DD or Kingpin.

I could see that with Kingpin since there's some ground work already laid just settting up Echo. Don't see them bringing DD into the mix in Hawkeye with the Echo series upcoming. Only two episodes left and still some major Hawkeye issues to address with Kate, Yelena, Echo, now Laura Barton, who is she, I have a guess who she is/was. There's also Kate v Echo since Kate broke into her house and shot her with an arrow. Then also Kate v Yelena. Kate didn't take the shot just like Clint didn't take the shot with Nat.

Saw Eternals today, wife and I both really enjoyed it. Liked it better than Shang Chi to be honest. Mainly because it definitely was something different, felt a bit like a game changer on a larger storyline scale, kind of like how the 1st Guardians really opened things up to a much grander scale. The visuals of the Celestials and the ancient cities really looked great on a big screen too. Loved the nods to weaving Earth mythology throughout the past with the Eternals as well.

I’m no prude, but was surprised at how explicit the sex scene was for a PG-13 Marvel/Disney movie.  :oldunsure:

 
One thing I've noticed that appears to be a theme with Hawkeye is the constant patching up and healing of wounds.  It was the only thing Hawkeye taught Kate when they first met and they made a big show of her mom patching Kate up and then of that one guy patching up Maya in this last episode.  Meanwhile Clint is dealing with the wounds of his past from his dark time as Ronin and the loss of Natasha....feels like there is an undercurrent lesson about self-care during times of mourning.

Good pick-up, I hadn't noticed that. Another reason to like this series, it has depth!

👍🏽 It’s the theme of the show. Mental, emotional and physical. 

 
Great episode.  Everything with Yelena was fantastic, esp the macaroni with Kate Bishop and the opening blip.

Can't wait to see next week's finale, right after Spider-Man this weekend. Hoping Hawkeye overlaps with Spidey like the early seasons of Agents of Shield did with the movies....

"Have you tried reindeer, Kate Bishop?"

That conversation was hilarious.

Love Emogi is my new ROFL. That scene was great. 
 

I’m ready to say this is my favorite of the tv shows so far. 

 
No way home is awesome! 
i don’t want to spill anything

the last scene with Happy could have been a lot better imo .

 how do the tags work?

Spider-Man was outstanding. They should have called it Home run. Easily the best of the Holland Spider-Man movies. 

 
This is easily the best Spiderman movie and I liked the prior 2. Crowd was bonkers. So many pops, the first time I’ve been in a full theater since the start of the pandemic. Felt like a real movie event. So well done all the way through. Lots of laughter and people around were crying. Awesome movie. 
 

Every episode of Hawkeye is better than the one before. This has been a really good series. Adds a level of humanity to the character. The end of episode 5 was a cheering moment (even though it was expected). 

 
I did not like Spider-Man NWH nearly as much as the other 2. I don't want to get into spoilers but definitely a big old meh for me. I like Eternals and Shang-Chi much better.

This was me too. It was a ton of fun because of all the nostalgia, and pretty funny at times, but I just couldn’t get past how idiotic the whole sequence was that kicked off the major plot of the movie. I know it’s a comic book movie, it’s not a suspension of disbelief thing, I just thought Strange behaved as though he didn’t have a working brain or an understanding of how basic conversations work and it soured the rest of it for me.

Turning into the meme culture surrounding the early Spider-Man movies was brilliant though, one of the lines caught me off-guard and it absolutely slayed me. 

 
Loved it. And I loved when they slipped in a special someone when going over defense options.  Won’t spoil it on the first day out but great decisions being made imo 

 
They've found a good formula for inserting origin stories into other arcs instead of having an origin movie for each character and villain but i don't know how they transition characters from Disney plus audience to general public

What do you mean?

 
Saw Spider-Man with my daughter tonight. Absolutely amazing.  So much stuff I want to talk about,  but I won't out of respect. I'll just say I loved the scene where the brick was thrown through the Parker's window. People who saw the movie will know what I'm talking about. 

 
Spidey absolutely amazing, massive home run. Nostalgia, funny, sad, tugs on the heart strings, Easter eggs, it had it all. Very minor quibble at the ending that can wait to discuss later.

And for once an after credits scene had a ton of meat. Could probably talk about the final after credits scene almost as much as the movie itself. It was basically a full blown movie trailer.

Funny, I thought the mid-credits scene had more meat than the final after credits scene.

Meh, to each his own. I don’t like that version of the character at all and they got zapped back home anyway. It was some humor inserted in to lighten up the mood (poorly IMO) from the ending of the film. The little bit left on the bar has neat possible implications for the future.

I thought it was funny seeing Danny Rojas though.

The bit left on the bar is exactly what I'm talking about.

Iron man was a pure origin story.  Tony stark gets injured and captured and his only way out is to build a thing for his heart which he also uses to power a crude suit. He brings it home, his evil ceo builds a suit to fight him but Tony prevails.  

Batman begins was the same thing although they did come back to the league of shadows in the third movie. 

Ant man, thor, captain America, guardians of the galaxy were all mostly pure origin stories.  Introduce the hero, they fight some inconsequential bad guy and win, maybe you meet pepper potts or alfred or bucky who become consequential later but that was the standard superhero movie formula for a long time.  

Then they released the avengers and didn't just bring other heroes together, they introduced this new Bruce banner guy and suddenly he's a main character too. In Ultron they bring in wanda and turn jarvis from a voice over role into vision. These weren't minor characters, they were major additions to the team in context of a plot about the main characters from this one. 

Wanda vision didn't do that.  It was just standalone with some characters you recognized.  Faws didn't either.  Loki introduced a new guy but they're also making a second season so it may stay standalone.  

Black widow wasnt just Disney plus and it introduced pugh, and she's getting a chance to expand her role maybe.  

But here they're introducing a potential major bad guy, and possibly a good guy, into the mcu. In a Disney plus show. That's not how they've been doing it so far. If they roll out a new movie in the theaters with these characters, will they have to reintroduce them because the non streaming audience hasn't met them?  Is this just lore for the Disney plus audience?

But is it really introducing?  He was a major character in the netflix shows and it is the exact same actor too.

As someone who didn't watch the Netflix shows, that's news to me, which is what i was getting at.  And there are plenty of movie-only people who don't know about either.
