Happy birthday, Justin! Wishing you many more! The KevOnStage thing happened because not only is he not homophobic, but he is deconstructing Christianity in real time. I think this recent nonsense is because he said that he believes in masturbating when he’s away from his wife. To quote Kev, “IMMA BEAT MY MEAT!!!” People are mad at him for that, demanding that we stop supporting him, while sitting in the church where the pastor has wifey, girlfriend, and mistress sitting under the same roof. Supporting TD Jake’s, whose OLD behind is caught cheating on his wife every 7 business days. Even if beating your meat WAS a sin, isn’t it a smaller sin than breaking his marriage vows?!? Is he supposed to bring home an outside baby for his wife to raise like Denzel did to Viola in Fences?!? My entire life, I’ve only known a single person that identifies as Christian actually walk the walk. For the most part, they’re sinning on Saturday, and judging on Sunday.

Happpy birthday Justin! Even though Karen don’t like you, I’m glad you’re on the show
Couldn’t imagine this show without your dark humor like saying “weak legs run in the Ball family”
Don’t ever change!
What’s up, Rod, Karen & Joomsday.
I know that’s reserved for Balls Deep but with the Avengers: Doomsday trailer being the talk of the town (or, in this case, social media), there were quite a bit of people saying a combo of “we’re tired of the MCU”, “Doomsday going to be Nostalgia bait & AI”, pre-hating the thing before it ever steps foot to big screens. Even the “Infinity Vision” gimmick caught a stray (yes, even I.know they’re using Dolby Digital but the Russos are using tech not far off from that of Infinity War & Endgame).
Rod & Karen, not too long ago, y’all mentioned how people won’t admit they’re sad but they don’t want to admit, out of the need for likes, comments or just straight-up snide condescension that’ll makes all the Film Twitter suckheads ego harder than that coonass National Review film critic. But I digress.
For all of the talk of why is this character back, this phase of the MCU wasn’t building anything (Bullshit. Survivor’s Guilt, Fucking with time, altered lives, TVA, passing of legacies, reckoning with multiverses, Trauma, etc). It damn sure wasn’t a clean built like the first three phases and even that was rifed with struggles (niggas were lying on Twitter about Thor 2, Age of Ultron & the first fucking Ant-Man being flops at the box office when all three films cleared $500M worldwide at minimum.).
Also, yes, Marvel Studios has dealt with some turmoil. Kinda what happens when you’ve been in the game for roughly two decades. Ls come for us all. Phase 3 was the peak, but it was never the end. I’ll defend the fuck out of Phase 4 for being exactly the people wanted & niggas are out here being disingenuous about how Phase 4-6 are nothing burgers compared to that of the end of the Infinity Saga with Spider-Man: Far From Home.
When, the gods honest truth is, people naturally fell out of love with the MCU & all the talk of “fatigue” & “this thing is ruining Hollywood” is another line about how people love being full of shit. Yeah, so what that Thunderbolts & Fantastic Four: First Steps underperformed to whatever their breakevens were or what. That’s COVIDs fault & the economies fault. Hell, it’s mankind’s fault for the umpteenth time in not reckoning with shit. Spider-Man: Brand New Day & Doomsday regardless of quality (which is still important) are going to break bank because Spidey & Avengers are household names. Nobody gives a shit if the colors are dark for an Avengers film that’s not out yet (it’s called post-production for a reason; shit ain’t ready yet & hopefully the lighting will be improved).
And I admit, even I was “whelmed” when it turned out I slept like shit on Saturday, which bounced to Monday because I wasn’t at my best. Then I watched it again. Doom blocked Thor’s ax like LeBron blocked Andre Iguodala’s shot in Game 7, a decade ago. Yep, I’m back. Definitely much older, so my “excitement” can only go so much, but these things are passed into the next generation for a reason. It’s ok that some into this anymore, at the same time, some of those people will be back because that Marvel crack just hits different.
Peace.
