So what you're saying is that this is the perfect game to play with my oldest friends over everyone swings by after we're all vaccinated. I'm on it.

I'm close. I owned a huge chunk of those, but think there are a couple here and there that I never watched. I'll probably have to pick this up on the Switch. I swear, monkey fist is going to be a pain in the ass to fight against.

I was just talking about this with an art major buddy of mine. If any digital artist is going to get paid for his work, beeple is just about the most obvious choice. In this case, he's selling a collage of all 5000 of his work a day pieces. I just can't help feel like a physical media snob. If this was $69m for a single, signed print off this collage I'd totally buy into this being a legit art purchase. For an NFT, though? Will they even still be a thing in ten years? How about hundred? Other works that have some for this much can be expected to survive for hundreds of years with the right care. There's no laptop or computer on Earth we can expect the same thing from. There's certainly no way of even knowing if there'll be a system to confirm our even read the metadata on an NFT a hundred years in the future and I sort of doubt there will be. I'd hate to be right because I can empathize with the idea behind NFT, but I'll be long dead by then so nobody can prove I'm wrong.

I'm either getting $0 or the full amount with our three kids. It'll depend on whether they base this in my 2019 tax return or my 2020 tax return. That should be fun.

A little of both. Everyone is born with some affinity for magic, some just more than others. If a person doesn't explore and train in magic those abilities slowly die out. Before Agatha realized Wanda was the Scarlet Witch, she mentioned that Wanda's magic would have "died on the vine" without any of the training she never got. Agatha assumed that contact with the Mind Stone awakened her mostly dormant magical powers. That much was true, but that awakening was a bit more severe since Wanda is the Scarlet Witch. It's very likely that even her encounter with the Mind Stone was a result of her chaos magic.

Ha, for a second I thought this a was a sequel to Shaolin Style...

Each additional trailer is pretty good. Then again, I was always a fan of this style for King of Fighters. Also... ...we should acknowledge that KoF has ALWAYS had the best fashion among all the fighting games out there. Even when the games weren't very good, everyone looked great. I've always appreciated that SNK treats their characters like people that might wear a different outfit from year to year.

To Wanda the dog, Vision, and the kids were all real. That was real attachment. To Agatha they were false beings conjured through magic. She thought Wanda's attachment to all these conjured beings was amusing and it's the main reason she was even up for playing along. They showed Agatha killing her entire coven after they tried killing her for reading a book she wasn't allowed to read. I think this much was clear when Wanda brought Agatha back to her own execution only for Wanda to attacked by the coven for being the greater evil. There are some heroes here, but clearly Wanda wasn't one of them. There was Vision trying to break through the hex and beg the FBI to save the people from Wanda. There was Monica breaking through the hex to try to save Wanda from herself.

I don't know what to say. There are literally people crying and begging Wanda to free them or at least free their children that she had locked up. The entire town is coming at her, begging her to free them from her mental slavery, and she starts strangling them all as a result. It's pretty clear this series has no real villain. Wanda is a villain to everyone of Westview and in the eyes of governments worldwide. Agatha is a villain only to Wanda. By Westview citizen standards, Agatha is the one that freed them long enough to convince Wanda to let them go. Hayward is a villain in that he broke the law and probably a few international treaties. At least he's human and can be arrested. There are some clear good guys here, but I don't think there are any clear villains. Either way, in the end, the only person that did anything actually evil in this show was Wanda. Maybe Agatha to a lesser extent of you consider killing a fake dog evil.

I think this interview sums it up. WandaVision Team Talks Lack of Justice for Westview: Making Everything OK Was 'Not the Story We're Telling' TVLINE.COM "WandaVision" head writer Jac Schaeffer and director Matt Shakman discuss the perceived lack of justice for the tortured people of Westview.

Yeah, the "heroes" in the MCU don't exactly have clean hands. That's kind of the entire point of a lot of this. I mean, they did unleash Ultron on everybody. Either way, why doesn't the MCU work like that when that seems to be exactly what happened in Wandavision? Wanda doesn't need mini-redemption at the end via a pat on the back if she wasn't being villainous the entire series. Before the reveal of Agatha we were all told Wanda was enslaving an entire city. Then we think maybe it's Agatha, but nope, it's all Wanda. There is literally a mother begging Wanda to at least have mercy on her children and that she be willing to sacrifice her own freedom if it meant freeing her kids from Wanda's enslavement. This also isn't anything new for the MCU. Loki was victorious after Thor 2 and was still chilling and drinking and partying come Ragnarok. I mean, Wanda entered the MCU as a villain. The MCU isn't exactly filled with truly evil villains. I wouldn't consider Killmonger evil. I wouldn't consider Vulture evil. I wouldn't consider Ghost evil. Fuck, Winter Soldier is obviously not evil. I mean, even Thanos got his chance to beg for pity points on screen for a few minutes. He even got to shed a tear. There's an entire subreddit dedicated to Thanos being right. I don't see what's so shocking about Wanda being the villain and the series not ending in a clear black and white note with her.

Agatha is only a villain to Wanda and maybe Pietro/Ralph. I mean, sure, she killed the fake dog and scared the fake kids, but she didn't actually attack or hurt anyone other than Wanda. Even then, it was only after she learned that Wanda was an out of control witch with no control over her huge amounts of power. Still, she didn't do anything to Wanda that Wanda hadn't done to everyone else in that town.

You're missing the important bit. Trump's signature was a last minute change he demanded which resulted in some checks being delayed. That was the bullshit part; that Trump was willing to delay stimulus checks to get his signature on them.

I'm not sure we had a ton of people that were just cool with it. Wanda is pretty obviously in hiding at the end and nobody there had any possible chance of arresting her. Monica was very much in "fix this by being nice" nice mode since the beginning, so I don't even hold any of her comments against her even if they are tone deaf to everyone around. I don't think Monica or anyone there was up for doing anything to further antagonize Wanda.

The series goes to great length to explain that Wanda has no idea what she is, how her powers work, or even how powerful she is. She's a human messing with powers FAR beyond her understanding. Agatha, the hundreds of years old vampire witch, is literally freaked out by Wanda showing so much disregard for the chaos magic she wields. Either way, I don't see how it's problematic for Wanda to be the villain here. By the end, it's obvious Slshe was the villain all along. Monica tells everyone this pretty early into the series. She's the one that had innocents literally begging her for mercy or to, at the very least, have mercy on their kids after forcing ask the children in the town to be locked up as prisoners in they're own rooms. The MCU has, for a long time now, told us that there's a pretty thin line between hero and villain. We had a while Civil War movie about this.

That's not fair to Snyder since Michael Peña is pretty great in everything.

Yeah, Agatha was trying to wake Wanda up to share details on how her magic works. She was not trying to keep the illusion going. She didn't care if it did. She just wanted to talk to clear-headed Wanda. When that didn't work Agatha moved to using Pietro to pull the magical knowledge out of her. When that didn't work, Agatha moved to forcibly pull the knowledge out of Wanda by whatever means. Honestly, Agatha really isn't a villain here. Even when she's trying to steal Wanda's powers she isn't really wrong to state Wanda has no idea what she's doing or what a risk she poses to the whole planet if she can't keep her powers in check. Hell, even her killing Sparky is just to see if that's what it'll wake Wanda from her haze.

I don't know. I think a LOT of people, if they had the power, would choose to bring a loved one back. I don't really think that's all that controversial. Like if I had magic powers and could bring my dad back, I'd probably refuse if I knew it would also enslave hundreds, but it would be really hard. I'd be seriously toying with "maybe for just an hour". Even then, this want really a case of the woman with emotions she can't control. The series is very clearly about the woman with powers she doesn't understand. She's dealing with some pretty harsh grief while holding onto growing powers she doesn't understand and thus can barely control. The ending was also pretty ominous. I don't think we're supposed to feel about m good about Wanda flying off. There's a hundreds year old witch freaked out over the evil Wanda is playing with while screaming about how she's going to destroy the entire world. Then it ends with her secretly studying a book that witch literally calls the Book of the Damned while the far off voices of her vanished children scream for help. I don't think the ending was supposed to make anyone feel good about anything that just happened in regards to Wanda. Jimmy and Monica are the only ones that get happy endings here. Everyone else is miserable. Darcy missed out, but the writers already said this was a cut for time/pandemic thing.

Looks like a few got the Snyder Cut early... Tom and Jerry accidentally became the Snyder Cut for a hot minute WWW.THEVERGE.COM The Snyder cut of Tom and Jerry Open debate time. Which movie will be better? Tom and Jerry or the Synder Cut? Now, I did watch Tom and Jerry. It was not good. I don't know which will be better.

Captain Marvel 2 is coming out in November. I guess I'm wondering if she'll be in Secret Invasion and then assuming Secret Invasion maybe comes out earlier in the year. How about a Vision series? They can call it Visionvision and half the episode count is spent with a mostly emotionless White Vision creating his Vision family and trying to be more human again. It's the only way this ever gets put on film or TV unless they decide to kill off Wanda.

I've seen more of those than I would have actually thought. I also owned a few of those on DVD and Blu-ray before I just laughed my collection. I owned 5, 21, 27, 42. Other than Ichi the Killer, I wouldn't have labeled any of those really disturbing. Eh...maybe Audition gets a nod for being painful to watch at times. Takashi Miike has a certain disturbing style I guess. I've seen, 5, 9, 13, 16, 19, 21, 27, 34, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 49, 50, 55, and 56. No real rhyme or reason here. My parents were big bootie fans when I was growing up, so I guess that covers all the 70s stuff. My wife is a big fan of good gore porn, but we haven't watched much in recent years. I guess kids kind of cracks down on your free time to watch some of this stuff. I also really like Takashi Miike and he has a whole three movies on this list all to himself. Other than Audition, his stuff is like live a action Adult Swim cartoon full of gore.

I am so scared of Falcon and Winter Soldier being boringly mundane following Wandavision. I hope they can give us a good story.

I wonder when's the next time we'll see Monica and further explore her new powers. I'm guessing either the Secret Invasion series or Captain Marvel 2. Both are slated for release next year. I'm assuming Secret Invasion since she was literally invited to go up in space by a Skrill and the last time we saw the Skrulls they were chilling with Nick Fury on some space station.

Is White Vision really Vision or just a new Vision with the old Vision's memories? I feel like that's a question White Vision left to try to solve. Also, I'm sure nothing bad will come off Wanda trying to resurrect her children with chaos magic from the Darkhold. The Darkhold left behind a ton of bodies in Agents of SHIELD. I wonder if it'll corrupt Wanda's mind the way it corrupted everyone else's or if she's immune to those side affects thanks to being the nexus.
