Finally got around to seeing that Multiverse of Madness.
... I went in expecting it was just going to be a load of multiversal macgubbins, no more and no less.
Then came the reveal.
Spent the rest of the film in the state known as bloody furious.

(taking some mild amusement from the fact that after saying the best way for the MCU to introduce X-Men and Fantastic Four stuff would be to just have them there, this movie did exactly that.
Nya-ha-ha! Nya-ha-ha-ha!)

That was not how I was expecting Clea to appear.
Probably about the most sudden way to do it, though.


Played the Skywalker Saga.
There's an old Simpsons Comic where Professor Frink had devised a ray gun that removes filler, sideplots and all that tedious mucking about from books and films.
This game feels like someone did that to the Star Wars films.
(Funny how The Last Jedi is so much more bearable with less Canto Bight... Rise of Skywalker remains exactly the same.)

Re-read the 2011 Justice League International for research the other day.
What a load of nothing that was.
And it got cancelled for an equal load of nothing in the form of Geoff Johns' Justice League of America. yay?

Also, re-reading some stuff, the last issue of Ewing's Ultimates describes the fourth Eternity very explicitly as "he". And Ewing's Defenders has the fourth Eternity as quite clearly very distinctly not "he".
Gender-fluid anthropomorphic personification of a universe. Neat.

Watched that Obi-Wan.
Takeaway: "Hey... this kid's a wise-ass!"
In fairness, everyone and their mom's noted how Luke takes after Padmé, and Leia took after Anakin. This is just further demonstration.
Also, disturbing thought: Obi-Wan's story is just one of the Old Man X stories, isn't it?

So this week in Young Justice, we learned the Kaiser Thrall thingie is actually a character from DC.
And, uh... yikes.
I understand that the comic version of that character is not terribly popular for being an obnoxious little jackass, but still. Damn.
That's a horrible thing to do to anyone.


... a little girl commented on my hair a while back.
Seems it was really unnerving her because she just wouldn't stop (until her mother got very upset).
It's just hair. Okay, there's a lot of it, but still.
Not like it was gonna eat her or nothing...
