Jul. 17th, 2021 09:42 amAh, lets chat some more about fictional failures and maybe not failures, shall we?
First up: Loki!
( Pretty sure discussing anything is considered a spoiler. Will also spoil Wandavision and TFATWS. Sorry. )
Lesse. Mums rented/bought/whatever Black Widow for my birthday and I don't have a lot to say about it beyond it being a case of too little, too late from Marvel at this point and that Yelena stole the whole damn show. I hated the post credits scene because I'm like one of three people who likes MCU Hawkeye (I'm contractually obligated to like archers. It comes with the name.) and I can't even shriek about that because fuck having Yelena working for the bad guys...again. Uuuuuuuuuuuuggggghhhhhhhhh. Also um, didn't Natasha reference Budapest like it was a great time but then it turns out that ( spoiler ) You and I really do remember Budapest very differently, Nat.
Oh! Fear Street 1978 was much better than the first one. Possibly because the story was anchored by better actors, or maybe it was simply knowing the fate of MOST of the named characters so you didn't get your hopes up on the wrong person. Also, I preferred the sister storyline to the young love crap they kept pulling from the first movie (you've yet to give me a reason to care about Sam, movie, and this is your through-line for all three movies? Oof.) so knowing that was going to end with one dead kind of helped. So less ranty about that one. Not sure how I feel about round 3 yet, but I'll let you know once I get around to watching it.
Now, unrelated to all that: I stopped at the Walmart by work for the first time since... maybe early 2020? Maybe even back so far as 2019. Anyway, I was hoping they had the Rainbow High line on fun clearance like a lot of people have been showing online, but my store was one of the ones where their clearance price was higher than the regular prices elsewhere. I did pick up the last Fail Fix doll I needed so I'd have one of each character even if I don't have each version. Why, oh why, are there no price checkers in the store anymore? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?
Oh, and to the person who commented in one of the doll groups (probably RH again) that he'd never been helped by an employee, ever, it took all my self control to not say, "all that says is that you're either really, really young or a dick to retail staff. Maybe both."
