    They’re not all upper class, Joey starts as a small background / ad actor, Rachel and Phoebe do small jobs like waitress and massages - Phoebe living in the street as a kid comes up a few times. (well, Rachel is born rich but she starts the series getting cut off and left with nothing - after she dumps her dad’s credit cards she had) An episode has Joey, Phoebe, Rachel point out that they’re poor and often out of a job so they complain that they aren’t nearly as loaded as Chandler, Ross, Monica, and they have a hard time keeping up with their lifestyle. Also confirming Chandler, Ross, Monica are indeed well off. Later, Joey gets a good acting role, Rachel has a good job, and Phoebe gets a good place at some point.




  • It was filmed a while ago and left sitting on a shelf for literal years. Every time they change something in the MCU in a movie, they’d have to make sure this still make sense when they finally release it; and if they can’t have references and hints about other things to come (which they can hardly do if they wait years and change plans), it may end up being nothing but filler and time waster unless it’s REALLY good. That doesn’t inspire a lot of hope.

    Wasn’t it also being made around the same time as Armor Wars, which changed from movie to series and back and forth and then got canned? If this was made with any connection to Armor Wars that won’t pay off, that’s another bad sign.



  • Both arms was my first take too considering he’s specifically named the one winged angel because of the one black wing replacing his arm, but he does have a whole extra head visible behind the text, in the same way Bizarro Sephiroth had a big Sephiroth and then a tiny Sephiroth on top - the topless, black wing form sits on a cloud that sits on top of another bigger Sephiroth with white wings instead of just having 6 wings replacing his legs. And there’s still more werid shit going on behind that text that I can’t make out. With how they brought Bizarro Sephiroth in Rebirth, they could be doing the “multiple teams attacking different sections” take again.



  • Apparently the Avengers will just forgive and forget about someone enslaving and torturing an entire town for 3 years, as long as that person was / is also an Avenger

    It’s not like there was anyone even around for that beside Strange. And they do talk about exactly that in the movie when he goes to see her. It’s handwaved away with one or two lines, sure, but they do say it, and make it clear that Strange didn’t see through the illusion until the movie and he thought she was healing and getting better and he let her in peace. It’s only in the movie that he realizes things went the complete opposite, he didn’t know the Darkhold was wrecking her up. Obviously he should have been better at that job much earlier, but they do bring it up. Strange simply doesn’t seem that good at watching over what happens on Earth (or in this dimension at all, we had that exact same joke with Thanos already). The takeaway is that Strange doesn’t check up on strong magic users around him and there’s no one other than him. Who they gonna send, Ant-Man?





  • The green Sahara was gone 5 000 years ago when Egypt barely started being Egypt and long before Assyria, the Bronze Age Collapse happened 3 200 years ago, and the Old Testament started getting written a bit before 600 BCE over a few hundred years. The Egyptians and Assyrians already had their breadbasket, it was the fertile crescent from the Nile to the Tigris and Euphrates, it was not a desert there.

    The israelite texts survived because they were written right when some big empires (Babylon and the Achaemenids) came around and then carried them over until the Greeks and Romans came by.




  • I don’t think you know what your argument is. Someone who didn’t watch the show wouldn’t notice that something happened, the connection fits. You are using your knowledge of the show to point out that this connection is not the straight line it seems to be, but that’s not relevant, it doesn’t matter to the 2 movies. It’ll matter in Thunderbolts with John’s own story, but not here. The show is extra information with its own story, which is nice, but it’s not critical.

    Imagine working so hard to find a plot hole in something you hate. You’re overthinking things.
