Obligatory disclaimer: real life sucks. AoS is in its’ home
stretch, and I cannot access it – there goes my (almost) perfect streak. Ah
well, as we have said before, now AoS is apparently ripping of DC’s LoT series…,
which were a rip-off of AoS to begin with.
The other main influence here is Marvel’s ‘Agent Carter’
(AC) series, which were very good themselves…but got cancelled after just two
seasons, because the actress behind the titular character, Hayley Atwell,
decided to go back to U.K. at that moment in time. I do not know if it was her
best call or not, since she continued to be associated with agent Carter the
Marvel character on and off since
then, but it did throw a wobble into MCU – enter Peggy’s niece Sharon Carter. In
‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ and ‘Captain America: Civil War’, the ex-‘agent
13’ of S.H.I.E.L.D. was being set-up as Steve Rogers’ new love interest – and then
that abruptly stopped, and Steve ended up back with Peggy thanks to the
Infinity Stones and time travel. Fun! Anything else?
…Sharon Carter is, or was, going to be one of the main
characters on ‘The Falcon and The Winter Soldier’ Disney+ show, as we have
mentioned it several times in the past, but since we’ve mentioned it because it
went down onto a producing hiatus first, it’s anyone’s guess as to how ‘F&WS’
will re-emerge after the COVID-19 lockdown and just who will be on it. From
what we have seen of it pre-lockdown, the lines were – our titular heroes,
(plus Sharon Carter?) vs. MCU’s version of Zemo, (first introduced in ‘Captain
America: Civil War’, remember?) and MCU’s version of John Walker, U.S. Agent,
who is something of an anti-Captain America, I suppose. ‘F&WS’ sounded like
one of those ‘politically charged’ shows of America by Americans, and it was
probably aimed at least some of its’ shots at the Donald’s regime of the U.S.,
but then real life happened, and ‘F&WS’ (and the rest of Disney+ shows…
cough ‘The Mandalorian’ cough) are currently on some sort of an indefinite
hiatus instead. Next?
…Since we cannot discuss AoS S7 because of real-life reasons
– it sucks – I wanted to return to the yaks, which we have discussed in the
not-so-distant past. But then real life happened, and past happened, and
everyone is discussing the evidence that at least some of the Jurassic
theropods, (aka the carnivorous dinosaurs) were cannibals. Pause.
My reaction to this: so what? The Cretaceous Majungasaurus,
(featured on ‘Jurassic Fight Club’, “Dinosaur Revolution’ and ‘Planet Dinosaur’),
was a cannibal. Modern dinosaur relatives, namely the crocodilians and the
birds of prey, (not that the other avians are such nice guys themselves), are
also cannibals. Ergo, people, and especially scientists, should have been aware
(and accepting) of the possibility that at least some theropod dinosaurs,
(aside from the Majungasaurus), were cannibalistic as well. What is with all
the commotion? It about matches the one about Spinosaurus’ true tail!
…Yes, the news about Spinosaurus’ new tail were somewhat
cool, but that is Spinosaurus for you – it rivals the T-Rex and the raptors for
popularity, especially since the JP3 film. There is no indication that Spinosaurus
will return for the third JW film,
but who knows… Anything else?
No, not really. The Donald had had his actual birthday
yesterday – whoopee. Given how much the U.S. society is getting divided over
the lockdown decision as well as over that actual division, he really should be
keeping a low profile instead. In the RF, president Putin is going to have an
actual, real life parade on June 24 or so about – bully for him! He really
should be more concerned about a revolution instead…
Well, this is it for now. See you all soon!
