This episode is the halfway point. It's going fast but it's fun. Also we're at Civil War in the parallel MCU timeline. They never got into superhero/mutant registration in the MCU, curious if we'll dig into that more in this show, possibly in a future season.

Also I don't know Nico's backstory, but did she talk to her amulet/necklace?

No capes.

Also Do Not Disturb mode looks pretty thorough... assuming you remember to turn it on.

And of course the mini bosses have been great, glad to meet our big bad. (Next episode, which luckily is available right now.)

First, it's going to be absolutely tragic if Lonnie ends up as the villain. He's a solid dude just like Peter, but he has to deal with shit that just... Fucks him over.

Second, shout out to Norman as the "guy in the chair". We could argue that maybe he's being manipulative or a guy that just can't accept someone saying "No", but it really does just seem like he's trying to beat helpful guy. Mans got money, why shouldn't he help.

I guess I have a hard time seeing it as shrinkflation when most streaming shows are on average 10 episodes.

Sure King of the Hill used to be a network show and about 23 episodes per season, but as a streaming show it's about right.

Live action Hulu, Only Murders in the Building & The Bear are 10 episodes on average. Animated on Hulu, Solar Opposites & Hit-Monkey are 10 episodes.

Even if we go back to the first big streaming hit, House of Cards, that was 13 episode seasons.

Correct!

The only person who cares that Tarantino made exactly 10 movies is Tarantino. It makes for good gossip, but if you make a good movie and it's number 11, everyone is fine with that.

I also miss the 23 episode seasons, but I'll take 10 great episodes over nothing.

I wonder, and suspect, if Disney/Marvel hired an outside studio to make these posters, possibly even with a "no AI" clause, but since AI is built into Photoshop it doesn't really matter.

I would be surprised if Marvel just typed something into an AI generator and shipped it. But I would not be surprised if whomever they hired used AI as part of their process.

I think the fact that Marvel denied it is interesting. Did they just hire someone so they can technically say "we" didn't do it. Or did whomever they hired mislead them.

Obviously I don't know the answer, but Marvel has denied it being AI generated, https://www.thewrap.com/marvel-denies-fantastic-four-poster-ai/

I expect we'll learn more in the future.

Since this article ends with,

Hopefully, Disney can clarify this and assure the world it’s all deliberate. Because otherwise, a company that can afford to know and do better, hasn’t.

It's worth saying that Marvel has denied it, https://www.thewrap.com/marvel-denies-fantastic-four-poster-ai

So there will likely be more to this story.

Close, the Simpsons are traveling to Europe, but not the UK.
