I'm watching St. Denis Medical season 2, episode 9 and People We Meet on Vacation today.

Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent aka Two-Face?! I support this casting. But I guess this means Bucky might not be surviving Avengers Doomsday.

My man Cyclops be fighting for his life. We really are in the Doomsday now. Funny how a 2 second clip did Cyclops more justice than the entire Fox X-Men franchise.

Stranger Things series finale THOUGHTS.
          
          It was awful. I was at least hoping that the finale would be good since the rest of the season was bad, but the Duffer Brothers couldn't even give us that. Here is a list of everything that I had a problem with:
          
          - No main characters died so the stakes were nonexistent (El survived, argue with a wall)
          - Will coming out had absolutely no impact whatsoever 
          - Mike was useless, despite arguably being one of the leads of this show in the beginning, same with Joyce
          - The military just leaving the party alone after El “died” was unrealistic and lazy writing
          - They defeated Vecna an hour into the finale and spent another hour "tying up" loose ends, which was so rushed. 
          - The Mind Flayer wasn’t scary at all like it used to be and got seriously nerfed. 
          - Will barely used his new ability to control the hivemind at all. 
          - Nancy's character was treated as a Mary Sou. 
          - Somehow Derek had the strength to pull Holly from Vecna after he literally almost passed out from running, which was so dumb. A bunch of little kids literally got the best of Vecna. He used to be a threat and someone to be feared. 
          - Vecna's backstory was never explained and relied heavily on a play that no one has seen, and that same play was advertised during ad breaks which tells me all I need to know about what was being prioritized. 
          - The demogorgons, demodogs, and demobats were no where to be seen in their OWN HOME in the abyss. 
          - El and Mike’s ending was bad and leaving El's fate open ended took away from her "sacrifice" and did both of them so dirty. 
          - The finale gave 0 Stranger Things vibes. It felt like a completely different show. 
          - The season 4 finale was a million times better.

So, from what I'm gathering, I think the rumors that there would be 4 or 5 Avengers Doomsday clips attached to Avatar Fire and Ash are untrue. Cuz it looks like the fourth teaser clip is gonna be about Shuri, M'Baku, Namor, and the Thing, which is kinda random and something none of us expected (we all thought the fourth teaser would be about the Fantastic Four or Dr. Doom). This tells me that there are probably MORE than 5 teaser clips being released. In fact, for every week that Avatar Fire and Ash is in the theater, we may get a new teaser clip, which is WILD. I don't know how to feel about this marketing strategy yet, so early from the movie's release (a year in advance), but as long as they focus on individual characters and don't show us much from the movie, then I'm all in cuz these clips have been absolute bangers so far.

Even if this whole "Vecna's been messing with the audience this whole time" rumor turns out to be true. This doesn't change the fact that most of Stranger Things season 5 has sucked. But I already know that if this rumor turns out to be true, and everything is revealed in the finale, then people are gonna switch up on season 5 so fast and act like all of it was amazing this whole time. If this happens, it's gonna be so dumb. A lot of people are already saying that a twist ending like that would change their mind about the season being bad, which is stupid. How does making a whole season of a show bad just for a cool twist ending appeal to anyone? Wouldn't y'all much rather have had the whole season be good with the  scary and retro vibes of the earlier seasons?

Hot take: Steve Harrington is overrated. He really hasn't done much except for hit a demogorgon with a bat a couple of times, baby sit the kids, and complain. Most people really only like him cuz they find him attractive. Personally, he's not my type so I don't get the hype lol. So if he's on the chopping block tonight (I really don't think he's gonna die tbh), good luck to y'all Steve Harrington stans.

With Avengers Doomsday being 1 year away, now I HAVE to write my Marvel fics. Oh what a glorious journey this will be...

          What are y'all watching this week???

I hate that we're in the age where people will post ragebait even if they don't actually hold the beliefs of what they are saying simply to get more engagement and make money. At this point, I just completely ignore every post online that is clearly ragebait. In reality, all they're doing is scamming you for clicks.
