What an utterly bizarre meltdown.

This can't be a serious suggestion

They are larger than a normal sized man's arms. A normal male could fit in the seat. This overweight woman was not the size of a normal sized male who isn't overweight.

Your number 2 is hyperbolic.

Yes airlines seats have been shrinking, but not enough that an average male couldn't fit. The average male just can't spread out like they use to anymore.

@Tom_Joad

I think people are aware airlines have been doing those things. That still doesn't excuse this woman. Like at all.

She is choosing a poor lifestyle and wants the world to accommodate that, for free.

1. Are her shoulders and arms oversized compared to a normal-sized man's shoulders/arms? If they are the same sizes, then a normal man can't fit in the seat.
2. Given that airlines keep shrinking the size of the seats, there might come a day when the average seat size on an airline will only fit someone that is 5' 0" (with a weight of 100-120 pounds), ie: a petite woman. Would you be saying the same thing in that case?

Open the door and say "Hail satan!" They'll never come back.

I spend 3 hours this weekend trying to explain to a 58 year old and her 36 year old son that "No, nonbinary people having their existence be acknowledged doesn't mean we're opening the door for people wanting to be dogs or lizards".
Along with explaining the apparently very foreign concept that gender identity and sexual orientation aren't the same thing.

It's pretty obviously misleading because it makes you think weight loss done in a healthy way impacts the mortality of older adults before it finally discusses that they mean unintended weight loss most likely due to other physical or mental health factors. People are just going to read the headline and go "see! It's better to stay fat! No exercise or healthy eating for this guy!"

This.

They've been very open about the D+ shows being as much a part of the Multiverse Saga as the movies.

I'm guessing you skipped WandaVision? In the comics, she was exposed to extra-dimensional energy which caused her to mutate and gain powers. But in the MCU she gained powers due to the events of WandaVision.

The space station belongs to S.W.O.R.D. (Sentient Weapon Observation and Response Department) which was founded by Monica's mother. As for why they didn't help before now? Same reason every other hero doesn't help until after they're introduced in universe. It's best not to read too far into that stuff. It's not a perfect continuity

The 2nd. She came after Captain Mar-Vell (who was technically in the first movie, but was a female instead and might as well have been a totally different character)

WandaVision shows her "origin" story but she didn't really take up a superhero persona in that show.

As much as people may celebrate their own weight loss, it is not always healthy.

A new study shows that weight loss in older adults is associated with early death and life-limiting conditions.

Weight gain, on the other hand, was not associated with mortality, according to the study published Monday in JAMA Network Open.

Medical professionals have known to be concerned when older people with health conditions lose weight but researchers have not fully understood the impact of weight change on healthy older adults, according to lead study author Dr. Monira Hussain, a clinical epidemiologist and senior research fellow in public health and preventative medicine at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

The study looked at nearly 17,000 adults at least 70 years old in Australia and more than 2,000 adults in the United States who were at least 65 years old. Everyone who participated in the study was weighed at their annual checkup between 2010 and 2014, according to the study.

Our study found that even a 5% weight loss increases mortality risk, particularly in older men, Hussain said.

Weight gain in healthy older people, on the other hand, showed no association, she added.

The association was found across starting weights, meaning people who are medically classified as obese also were at an increased risk when losing weight, said Perri Halperin, the clinical nutrition director for the Mount Sinai Health System. Halperin was not involved in the study.

Other health issues

The study was able to account for health issues at the start. It excluded people who had conditions like cardiovascular disease, dementia, physical disabilities or chronic illness, Hussain said.

It also excluded those with recent hospitalizations, which is important because hospitalization is often followed by weight loss due to acute conditions, Halperin said in an email.

But the study wasnt able to distinguish if people involved lost weight intentionally or unintentionally, Hussain added.

No questions were asked about changes in activity level and diet quality between the baseline study visit and subsequent study visits, so we do not have any information on how those factors may have impacted the results, Haperin said.

Why weight loss can be a risk

Weight loss may be a risk factor for mortality because it can signal underlying issues.

Weight loss may be a warning sign for conditions like cancer and dementia, and it is often linked to reduced appetite influenced by inflammation and hormones, Hussain said.

Underlying chronic health conditions can also trigger weight loss in older adults by impacting appetite, metabolism and eating habits, Halperin said. Mobility issues and medication side effects can also affect weight.

Changes in weight can also signal concerns in lifestyle, Halperin said.

A major contributing factor to weight loss in older adults is social isolation. Other concerns include financial constraints and pain and discomfort, she added.

In studies like these, remembering that correlation is not causation is important, Halperin said. Weight loss was associated with mortality, which means its correlated but that doesnt mean the weight loss caused a persons death.

Its also important to say that the opposite cannot be extrapolated nor recommended ie gaining weight would not necessarily decrease your mortality risk, she said in an email. As always, discuss your weight changes with your doctor or other medical professional.

The takeaway is for older adults to monitor their weight change, Halperin said.

If they notice a decrease in the number on the scale (weight loss) or perhaps pants that were once snug fitting looser (decreased waist circumference), she added, bring it up with their doctor for possible further screening or testing.

But the advice also goes for the medical community, she said. Doctors and health care providers need to know that changes in weight require further investigation.

That's Monica Rambeau, who was a child in the first film. Which I'm sure will be explained in the film for those who missed WandaVision.

Your other questions will also be answered in the movie. That station may actually be a ship or not in Earth's orbit or any other number of things.

People who avoided Ms Marvel are going to be confused by how this story starts

The very last scene of the season finale was basically a cliffhanger leading into this movie

Pepperoni calzones, double-bacon cheeseburgers, fried chicken.

Twinkies and ho-hos for dessert. (Deep-fried if available.)

And Mountain Dew for your drink.

Also, a double mocha-frappacino with whipped cream for your coffee. (3x daily)

And don't skimp on the fatback for breakfast! (fried, of course!)

With that diet, you'll be an overweight 360-lb man with chronic heart disease in no time at all!
