If you like all of the necessary ingredients, pastry and all, why not just make the pie? So many questions.

Fireworks are fine and all, but why do they have to be so bright, colourful and loud?

See, I always pronounced Nutella based on how it was spelt. Noot-telly. Is that wrong?

I never particularly felt like Tobey was a solid Peter Parker either – Holland I feel has a good script and good direction for both roles, but I think Garfield gets more criticism than he honestly deserves given what we had experienced [on film] with Spider-Man up to that point. We actually saw a Queens accent, the mainstream personality of Spider-Man, and some other aspects that Homecoming basically owes for getting the boat going cinematically speaking. Amazing Spider-Man had the wit, energy, and cast the character needed. It’s just a shame the studios got greedy and Garfield pissed off the wrong people. In another universe, it’d be Garfield in the MCU without any of the stupid Iron Man sidekick bullshit.
And it's a damn shame.
I'll hold my hands up and say I enjoyed Homecoming more than any of the Spider-Man movies we've been given. That said, I would have given the film more props if it had stuck to its guns with Peter rejecting the Iron Man suit at the end. Tony basically just giving him the suit afterwards difuses any real sort of growth in Peter's character. In the context of repurposing the ideas of power vs responsibility I'm fine with the suit and Iron Man being there. Most of the changes to the source material work for me, though Flash just seems mishandled more than miscast. For me personally there's more substance than just 'Spider-Man for the Twilight Crowd' which is all ASM really boiled down to for me.
And Vulture is great.
I guess that we all have our dirty little secrets...
like how i have my own that i don't want revealed because y'all would roast my ass alive if you learned what it was
I wager you secretly enjoyed Rise of the Silver Surfer.
I am home from Ant-Man & The Wasp. It was excellent. Had a lot of fun.
Might catch it when it's on DVD. Not that much of a fan of the first.
Up
I'm conscious that my recent post was a little meandering so I'll be aiming for a minor course correction with the next few posts.
A GM posting in their RP?!
Unthinkable.
You'd never catch me doing something like that.
Either way, now that I'm awake again, time to start working on a finale and achieve a personal landmark.
Most sex scenes in a single post?
Posted. It's not good but it's something.
"I prefer conflicts that are based on reality rather than based on fantasy. When you get wound up with super villains, super fantastic gadgets and super incredible action, everything has to be made so deliberately that it all becomes senseless. It boils down to what you want a story to stand for. Every person, whether he wants to be or not, is in a continuous struggle. It is a struggle to keep his mind from being corrupted."
The Sanctum Sanctorum,
Greenwich Village
NY
"Doctor Strange. Tell me if I'm stepping out of line but you seem troubled."
"Am I that transparent, Wong?" Strange asked guardedly. He sat, hunched on a small armchair in the corner of the room. His face betrayed little of his thinking. Two weeks had passed since Strange had begun instruction under his new teacher, Wong. The physical manifestation of the Mentor's Stone was Strange's only link to the ways of his order, save for the books and scrolls that filled the Sanctum. The artifact had been in possession of Sorcerers Supreme for thousands of years. harking back to the sorcerer who discovered it, Kan, all the way to the last to inhabit the role, The Ancient One. Like his mentor, this stone had a way of reading a soul.
"I have acted as witness to some of the most brilliant Sorcerers this world will ever know, many of which saw great tragedy." Wong began. "It is only natural for those that spend so much time with so much power. So believe me when I say that while I am incapable of experiencing it, I am quite knowledgeable on the subject of grief."
Strange fell into silence.
"Don't dwell on your worries, Strange. Don't dwell on the past. Man's most fatal enemy is one of his own making: his doubts." Strange looked up at this and forced the beginnings of a smile. He was right. Strange had to push on. Getting up, he went to the chest that still stood in pride of place in the centre of the study room. Out of respect for his fallen master, Strange had taken to wearing the cloak and amulet handed down to him. Despite this, he was no closer to knowing their purpose. Indeed, his minimal knowledge extended to many any of the objects that he now presided over.
"Okay, Wong. Humour me for a moment, if you will."
"Of course." The avatar of the Mentor's Stone nods.
"What on Earth is this?" Reaching into the chest, he produced an axe. Its hilt was wrapped with coarse leather bindings, while the axe blade bore intricate engraving in a script that was foreign to him. It appeared to made of a brittle substance, and possessed no more weight than a man's razor. It had clearly seen better days, the surface looking ready to crack under even a modicum of pressure.
"The weapon is known as the Axe of Angarruumus."
"Angra..." Strange started to parrot.
"Angarruumus." Wong repeats. "It is a powerful mystical vessel, with a long and bloody history. You should see it as a great honor that the Ancient One would choose to bestow it upon you." Strange sized it up in his hand, moving it in the air.
"It doesn't look like it will be of much use in its current condition."
"Looks can be deceiving. The items true power does not lie in its physical form. You may discover this in time."
A sheathe materialised on Strange's belt. For that moment, Strange placed it back in the chest. He was filled with questions.
"What do you know of this cape?"
Wong smiled, as if he had been awaiting this.
"You wish to learn the secrets of the Cloak of Levitation?"
"Levitation?" Strange asked, bemused. Wong nodded.
"Follow me."
