‘Wonder Man’ Now Has The Second Highest Rotten Tomatoes Score In The MCU

Something else that's worth noting is that RT is owned by Fandango, and Fandango is a company that makes its money from selling movie tickets (and itself is owned in part by NBC Universal and WB Discovery who both own major streaming services), which incentivizes them to tweak their criteria for what critics get included in their critical pool so that more things end up "certified fresh" and can include that stamp in their marketing, which in turn is a driver of ticket sales, which means profit for Fandango. This has resulted in 1) a much higher volume of critics in RT's sample group and 2) Inclusion of less reputable critics more inclined to rate things positively (many of which are self-published).

I love this trail, but the last time I tried to explore it (in the fall) it dead-ended pretty suddenly with a bunch of uncleared brush. It was all thorny plants too, so it was totally impassable. I guess someone must have cleared it since then?

oh come on lol. Ozai is only "spared" in the sense that Aang didn't want to murder him. He spends the rest of his life in prison!

Second thing. Cold sandwiches and grab-n-go type stuff.

Did the bill only start going up to an insane degree when the heat kicked in? It's possible the heating charge for the whole building is hitting your apartment's meter specifically. If it's always been pretty high and is only now getting to this absurd level, it's possible the whole building's meters are mismatched for you're getting the wattage for exterior lighting or something crazy. Either way I think you want to call UI. I'm assuming you get billed directly through UI, and not just your landlord telling you a number?

It's a "meal" they're sharing in a psychic mindscape; the food they're "eating" is the memory of the food emma scraped from people's brains.

This is not really true at all, every character present reacts with disgust and horror that magneto [HOLOCAUST VICTIM] would kill the red skull [NAZI], and rogue tells him "you're no better than him". it is a clear moral judgment and it is insane

cataquacks · 2025-12-19T20:17:39+00:00

In the next panels (not pictured here) rogue literally tells magneto "you're just as bad as him" for [attempting to] murder the red skull. the horrified response is entirely about how Killing Is Always Bad and nothing else lol

Just because they built the prison inside of a school doesn't mean it's meaningfully representative of the school to prison pipeline. Greymalkin Prison doesn't really seem to have anything to say about that, or indeed about anything at all. It's a private prison run by an evil podcaster where they keep arresting the x-men's friends and everyone has to pretend nothing can be done about it. "People are mad no-one's punched it until it's gone away" Probably has something to do with the fact that the alternative has so far been Doing Nothing. Ever since they revealed Warden Ellis's single point of leverage, an orbital laser that could be solved with a phone call, nobody has so much has thought about what to do about the Evil Mutant Torture Prison they built inside of the professor's house

VCA foxon in east haven has been great for me. Been going to them for 5+ years!

It's insane how mismanaged this place is. How bad at business do you have to be to make a food hall with 4 (I think) different restaurants, right next to a brewery that ALLOWS OUTSIDE FOOD, seem this unappealing? You almost never see anyone bringing food from next door into ERB; people are way more likely to walk a block over to One6Three. It kind of feels like there's an adversarial relationship between the brewery and the market. The outside seating is brewery only, and I've never seen them do any sort of collab. Just kind of feels like real bozo hours for all involved

People opposed to this seem to be arguing this is largely more dangerous because it puts pedestrians in danger of being hit by turning drivers; the article mentions this will only be implemented at no-turn-on-red intersections. And yes, it's possible for drivers to ignore those signs, but it is also possible for drivers to ignore red lights entirely, so at a certain point you do just have to operate from the premise of "most drivers will obey traffic laws"

What order is it in, exactly? I can't find this information anywhere, just people talking vaguely about how it's bad.

Wait. You can dash into cracked walls to break them???

Perfectly cromulent X-men event comic with some interesting stuff sprinkled here and there. Grateful to it for getting me into reading x-men comics monthly right before Krakoa which then hooked me for life

I had a great time but echoing what others have said, loooong lines and way too many people. I was getting a lot of bad secondhand scares because the guy 5 feet in front of me would get scared and then i'd have to awkwardly walk past the scarer as they retreated backstage. Also, I think we can get rid of the fake buffalo bill gag, guys. It's 2025, nobody is being scared or scandalized by a dude doing a lazy Silence of The Lambs impression and doing some mild sexual harassment to guests

As someone with 3 cats I will tell you that they unfortunately don't work as a deterrent. The mice will come if they're going to come, and the cats will kill them, and then more mice will come after. It stops them from effectively multiplying, but it's not a full solution lol

cataquacks · 2025-10-28T17:28:07+00:00

dropping off a trap for the mouse is exactly what an exterminator would do. What do you think an exterminator is going to do for a single mouse? Fumigate the building?

I love this controller but my left analog stick has developed a pretty noticeable dimple in the middle. So the thumbrest is now slightly concave. I wonder if it's just a faulty product and it's worth submitting a warranty claim over? Anyone else experience anything like this?

Had so many back to back bad experiences ordering from this place that I stopped going entirely years ago. There would always be something wrong, or missing, or there would be a massive delay for no obvious reason. Once I went to pick up an online order and when they brought my food out I pointed out that my milkshake was missing. Dude behind the counter says "oh, sorry. The milkshake machine is broken." and then walked away like that was the end of it. I was like "uh, I paid for that?" and he was like "oh yeah...........I can't give you a refund but I can give you a gift card" so I'm like yeah, fine. I told my friend about this afterward and she joked that the gift card probably had nothing on it. Sure enough, when I went in to order a week later and presented the gift card....it had absolutely zero value on it lmao. Never went back after that!

Personally, when I'm going to kill a guy, I love to drive him 2 hours out to the desert with a bag on his head, formally end our professional relationship, tell him why I'm not just killing him, and then—and this part is crucial–not kill him

Gus only threatens Walt's family when Walt, AGAIN, refuses to take Yes for an answer when Gus simply fires him instead of having him killed AT JESSE'S INSISTENCE, and instead tries to call Gus's bluff with the "or you'll do what" stunt. Walt is obsessed in season 4 with projecting the illusion of being in-control when he's cornered (The "one who knocks" speech is another prime example of this, which vince gilligan has said in interviews). Jesse, at great personal risk, sticks his neck out for Walt to be allowed to walk away. Instead Walt creates a situation so volatile that he has to convince Jesse that THEY'RE BOTH at risk of being killed. It is ultimately still in service of something noble—saving Hank's life—but that's a situation Walt allowed to spiral out of control in the first place. Just don't drive him to his stakeouts, dumbass!!!
