I’ll be choosing myself as the minus one, I’d love to come but rules are rules, have a lovely evening.

Correct!

So I’ve always felt this way about video games.

Can you imagine a kids first Mario game being Mario Wonder? That’s a twist on Mario games, it’s not the base Mario!? They won’t understand what makes it an interesting new game!

But the thing is, it’s fine. Everything new is old. Plus it’s the Internet, it’s impossible to actually sort out everything.

Like, what is Roblox? I know it’s some online game. Then I saw John Green play Roblox with his daughter. It was a dress up simulator. That’s Roblox?

Or how about the song Gangnam Style? I remember when that reached 1 billion views on YouTube. That was a moment. But then remember Despacito? When I first heard that song it was already at 1.2 billion views. How could I clearly remember the first billion views video, but completely miss it happening again?

Think about the entirety of history that happened before you. How did you sort that out?

Yes. There are dozens of us.

Glorious.

As a bonus, the cold open in this episode is about going to the movies and Homer saying “Movies are back baby”.

Secret reveal.

And his mom!

Correct!

I forget which interview I heard it in, but as I recall people on the show have his number and every once in a while they’ll give him a call and he’ll drop in a nugget of wisdom.

So even if he’s not officially listed, I bet he’s in there.

But I do hope he’s in there officially.

They did it together, a true father-son bonding moment.

It’s crazy how much a mask makes a character look different.

Also I agree he’s the best.

Boob lady? Russ Cargill going mad with power? I was elected to lead not read? Tom Hanks hair tussle? Trappichino? Motorcycle finale? Animals watching sex? Mickey Mouse evil corporation? Clap for Alaska? Over the top coco by Flanders? Colin? Maggie sandbox? Homer flipping people off in the sandbox?

As a fun fact, the first Simpsons movie aired in July 2007, after 18 seasons of the Simpsons.

Last year was the 36th season, or 18 seasons later. July 2027 will be just after the 38th season.

There are more episodes of The Simpsons between the two films than between the start of the show and the first film.

For the season premiere I caught this episode live, felt like a kid again.

I really enjoyed Marge telling Lisa she made a lasagna, eat around the meat. Loving, but petty.

Also this episode paid tribute to Alf Clausen in the credits. RIP to the king.

Oh I get it! I get jokes!

Correct!

He ABSOLUTELY would. And when he does, because he should, someday, we can make a whole episode out of it.

I don’t think we’ll see him in Peacemaker season 2.

We have two episodes to go and while there may be an obvious storyline for him to fit into, I don’t think there is time for us to bring him in as a sort of deus ex machina to wrap things up.

I’m not saying it can’t happen, I just don’t think it will.

pencil pushers down in Temporal Affairs better chalk this up as part of the Prime Timeline

I mean they didn’t show up to stop her so it IS how it was always supposed to be. In the timeline where she didn’t choose to change history they had to go back and nudge her to choose otherwise.

Sure, Kamala is powerful, but what makes her THE most powerful that Wanda needs her? Is it because Kamala is a mutant? Is it because with the bangle she can do time travel maybe?

I can come up with a reason, but I could say the same about Shang-Chi and his magical rings that have unknown powers attached to them.

Moon Blade has the powers of Khonshu, surely moon God powers are powerful.

Thor is a god, and with Stormbreaker can summon the Bifrost, why not those powers?

Kamala being the main character is a fun idea, but the ending was just weird.
