The Marvels was poorly paced and I don't know if that's more the fault of the editing or the directing. But holy shit the individual pieces were so. good.

The interactions between the leads, the evolution of the fight scenes to integrate the problem and turn it into an advantage. Princesses and kittens are not my kind of deal, but they were absolutely perfect in this movie and I was thrilled to see them. Kamala Khan being a superhero with a normal, well-adjusted, loving family is one of my favorite things about her character.

My frustration and disappointment with this and with The Eternals is this had all the pieces to be a great Marvel movie, but the pieces didn't get assembled properly somehow. I don't know what changed about their production process, but if they can fix it, they still have good content to build great movies on. Haters bedamned.

I'm pretty liberal with the upvotes. I like to encourage people to participate and an upvote feels like saying "hey I see you and thanks for sharing." I regularly upvote things I don't like or don't agree with, if they are shared in good faith and contribute to the conversation.

Downvotes are for bigots and misinformation/disinformation/lies.

I mean. I like seeing merch from my favorite creators and sometimes I buy it. T-shirts are cool. It's easier for me to know what's available if there are thumbnails large enough for me to actually see the product.

And these links appear below the video, they are not intrusive to the watching experience in any way whatsoever. So yeah, I genuinely think this is a huge overreaction.

I pay for premium and not even once have I thought anything other than "oh cool, this channel has merch"

No, the project there referring to is run by 23andme. My whole family participates in the same research because so many of us have Crohn's disease.

This is how I feel. I don't hate Google. But I do want to see them broken up and regulated much more than they currently are.

free speech and government oversight

That's not what I read into this at all, but something far more sinister that I see happening in the world right now. Certain power players using "government oversight" as a disingenuous excuse to attack the means for regular people around the world to speak directly to one another without the filters that favor narratives that the power players prefer, and for regular people to coordinate with one another.

The Arab Spring and BLM protests scared some people and it's showing.

The US federal science agencies are generally pretty happy with sharing things. If it's free to the US public, it's free to the world and I love that. Best possible use of my tax dollars.

(We also share weather and hurricane data with the Caribbean countries, for example. None of them could individually afford what the US is doing, so I'm happy we share.)
