Is anyone really surprised by this point that I'm mostly onboard with the Twisted Childhood Universe? I should hope not.

It really is astounding to me that the MCU has had Hulk in their roster for 18 years and all we've really gotten are Banner, Savage Hulk, and not even really Merged Hulk but more like Banner's brain in Hulk's body.

I know what you might be about to say, but listen. Digimon started as a virtual pet. Hell Digimon World came out in Japan before the anime. He's a video game character first.

It's a really weird feeling being in the position where you're still generally excited for Marvel Studios projects EXCEPT the Avengers movies.

And kind of sad knowing that after BND and VisionQuest come out all we know about are the Avengers movies.

Listen I hate to ask but so far this short has three comments and one is from the "didn't see it, inaccurate casting" crowd so if anyone has an Odyssey take they'd like to share that lowers the ratio of obvious dogwhistles I'd take it as a great personal favor.

Listen I don't care as much if you watch the short as I do that you go see Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, because it was hilarious.

HOWEVER, if you also have time to watch this short...

Surprise Surprise, I Didn't Like Minions And Monsters

@thescarlettroll.bsky.social

I think the worst thing about this I just found out the director recently confirmed that no Minions have ever worked for Hitler. So I REALLY watched the new movie for no reason other than pure love of the sport.

Me last week: Okay worst case scenario I do one more Comet episode and then I move on.

Me working on this episode: The F*** is an earth-born angel and what does this have to do with Supergirl?

Anyways that's why this week's episode is about Post-Crisis Supergirl instead.

As someone dedicated towards maintaining apathy towards Jackass I am as surprised as anyone else by this result.

Look I know it's not exactly a great tagline but I feel like you can't title a video "Supergirl Is Fine" without people getting the wrong idea.

Just to be petty to a certain fanbase, I'll take more Milly Alcock as Supergirl movies than Gal Gadot Wonder Woman movies.

Since I'm not likely to watch anything else this #LetterboxdFriday, here's my #LastFourWatched.

... Okay look, I can explain, White Chicks was NOT my idea, it was a group movie night and a friend picked it.

I can't TELL you if Comet's actually in the Supergirl movie. But I inflicted enough suffering on myself doing research for this video that I would feel required to spread it around even if he wasn't.

@thescarlettroll.bsky.social

Okay so Leviticus wasn't quite as scary as I was hoping, at least in the traditional sense. But it's plenty horrifying in premise, which counts for a lot.

Listen in the context of the short's title I think it's REALLY important to note just how little I was looking forward to Toy Story 5.

Of course when I finally decide to bring back Poorly Explained Comics and settle on a couple Supergirl topics for the next couple weeks THAT'S when a new Spider-Man trailer drops. Oh well, I stand by my choice, I'll get to Spidey later.
