I'm just getting out of Fantastic 4...and holy fuck the girls did it😭😭😭

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I loved fantastic 4... but you picked that over the final?

For my health's sake that would probably be the better choice tbf

Well made plans because honestly didn't think we'd go all the way 🤣🤣🤣 had some insanely good tacos too hahaha. Great day.

While I didn't think it was as great as people said, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I loved that it was relatively self contained, but it was jarring to see a different time aesthetic within the MCU. I kept on reminding myself this was not the same universe.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We really need to stop calling it the MCU given it's a multiverse now lol

Tacos sound great, I miss them, you know I'm not getting proper ones here lol.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Surprisingly it was tacos that were Asian fusion made by a taqueria based in Guadalajara that had a pop up here. It was a Chinese style roasted pork taco and wow...

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

gimme. Now.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

this movie is one of the first MCU movies that I've felt like not knowing the source material would have made it better because I was just kinda waiting for Franklin Richards to solve everything at some point.

I was just thinking Pedro Pascal seems to be saddled with magical younglings lol

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I did rock my Leah jersey all day as a sign of support 😂

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

fair enough! I need to get one with her tbh. Williamson is just a bit generic as a last name tho :p

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Finished Capaldi's Doctor and I think his last is season is the strongest of his tenure. His 2nd season is good and a step up from his first. Overall it's a bit better than I remember it but I think there was some inconsistency in quality. I feel like there was a lot of potential there. Sometimes there was a bit of telling and not showing or the episodes felt a little rushed.

Like there's some unknown threat and the Doctor spends the episode figuring out what it is, when we were exposed to it within the first minute of the episode. Maybe stuff like that could have been teased out more, leave the audience in the dark longer so we're finding out as the characters do. Or there's elements of an episode where it feels rushed. Like the 'Empress of Mars' episode where a soldier has a redemption arc within 5-10 minutes of finding out he was a deserter. It didn't feel like I got to see him really wrestle with that dilemma. We get some hints of him being undermined, then there's the reveal, he then runs away and not 5 minutes later he comes back and has this big moment where he's put that passed him to save the day. It's a good reveal and the redemption is fine, there's just not much substance in between to really flesh out that character.

After that thought, maybe that's how I can summarise the Doctor Who seasons under Moffat with Capaldi's Doctor; decent start and good finishes, just sometimes lacking in between.

Also, Bill is definitely up there as one of the best companions. Pearl Mackie did a great job. I also forgot how long Matt Lucas featured in the show.

Just started Whittaker's Doctor now. Based on the first episode the delivery feels too rushed or flat. Still get the feeling she's trying to do too much with it, which I get. It's a pretty big role with big expectations. The main positive is that I do quite like the atmosphere they created. Feels dark and gritty compared to Moffat, which I think I quite like. Onto the 2nd episode...

DM me when you get to Kerblam. That's where I got up to before I stopped watching most recently, mainly cuz I've heard it isn't that great — but I do want to finish it.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Heaven Sent is still the best episode tbh

I loved Bill, I definitely agree that the last season is a very strong one, though I did enjoy series 9 more. Nardole is a treat, shame his actor's a bit of a twat.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

And here we go then, come on England!!

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Hampton is really having an amazing tournament, has to be said.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Damn West Ham looks like shite, United is still relying on Bruno

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Slow sports day so watching the Summer Series with NBC...god that pitch at Metlife is even more awful than during Club World Cup. Granted it's been subtropical weather in the area the past month...I can expect injuries happening during the World Cup games.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Interesting lineup, wonder why Carter's back in when Morgan was quite solid last game. Not complaining though, get it done.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Kelly's put some life into this game. Bit worried about what we'll be doing later on in the game without having her as a sub to impact the game but it won't matter if she can mess them up.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

what a save from coll from Hemp's chance man

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

James is proper injured then. fuckkkkk.

[–] bootinelli@lemmyis.fun 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We really need someone who can score tap ins. Just look at how many cut backs Saka creates every match which Kai fails to get his feet to.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

just signed him lol

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

LESSI RUSSOOOOOO

[–] bootinelli@lemmyis.fun 1 points 3 weeks ago

Am I the only one who thinks Saka's play on the wing has got predictable these days?

He can't go on a mazy dribble without getting fouled. Cuts outside and sends a cross or a cutback that is obviously blocked.

Doesn't beat defenders 1v1 to cut inside, mostly because he's rarely left to just one defender.
