My gains since January have been erased and I'm down from my original investment. The market hasn't even opened yet.

My individual stocks took the losses aside from AMC and ACI, but I haven't lost money on any ETFs I own. I think it's a sign that I'm not good at stock picking.

That's why playing with 10-20% of your portfolio and keeping the rest in ETFs is really the best advice to practically for anyone. I'm down a couple grand (5%) over the past couple weeks but I'm still up substantially overall YTD

I imagine they felt comfortable rushing his development here because wed already seen his future incarnation develop in that direction a bit by the time he died.

Its kind of hard to judge how abruptly being shown all this hidden truth of the universe and shit could reasonably change a person, but I thought it was believable enough that hed shift pretty quickly.


Yeah, I thought him changing based on watching the sacred timeline version of himself shift was plausible. Im sure lots of people would have dramatic changes if they watched how their entire life would play out.

OK then tell everybody to shut up about the original since it's even worse than the new one. Also the original brought the Looney Tunes back. They were irrelevant back when it came out too.

This is such a bad opinion.

And the references in this movie aren't good.

I want to point to Shrek as the near king of good references. Good references can be missed. They are subtle. I bet there are people in this topic who still 20 years later haven't realize Lord Farquad is a pun.

Rick and Morty literally showing up with the tasmanian devil is not a reference. It's just Rick and Morty in the movie for no reason other than lol what if Rick and Morty show up lol.

Lebron's son made a basketball video game that AI G Rhythm stole the code for when he kidnapped them. That's what they're actually playing is not basketball, but the video game that was made.

So no, there isn't any reason its basketball

I was just made aware of the existence of this scene.

https://twitter.com/SuperFoxcade/status/1416161427027501060

Contrary to what common sense would tell you, this is in fact unedited. This is how the scene appears in the movie. This is not a bunch of scenes shoved together by a fan, this is how the movie editors decided this movie should play in real time.

30 seconds after this foghorn leghorn rides in on a dragon with silver hair saying winter is coming.

That was when I turned it off for the second time. I cant cringe that much in succession and continue.

I made it 5 more minutes because I was curious how the Austin powers reference went.

Holy crap that was the least funny most on the nose reference I have ever seen. How did nobody make this not suck

Also I reiterate how much the soundtrack carries the first movie. It isnt good, but it gives the Andrew WK vibe to me.

I'm actually excited to see reactions to this

Not because I expect it to be anything but crap or anything, but because I'm anxious to see people suddenly pretend the original was a good movie

I stand by the original wasnt a good movie, but it was an absurd movie where people tried and failed to make a good movie and there are little sparks of genius in it (Like why the hell does bill Murray even exist.) And the soundtrack is 100% kick ass

im probably gonna be a big pile of negativity in this topic

i've thought this first 5 episode of Loki were a giant pile of mediocrity at best. i'm almost afraid to watch the finale because i dont want to end this series thinking it sucked. I genuinely love Loki as a character and think he's one of the best characters in the MCU, and I love the MCU and everyone in it to begin with, so i dont think i'm biased against it or anything. it's just been a giant mishandling of the character. to think this series is below par hurts.

blahhh

I mean, I think thats why these shows have all been different. I thought Loki was a top tier marvel entertainment, better than almost all of the movies. Uncoincidentally my favorite marvel movies are the weird ones that arent like super hero movies like Spider-Man homecoming. Every week I showed up completely unsure where it was going which made me constantly interested.

I think its good they arent making all the shows homogenous.

I could buy the back, I could even buy the return to Gotham from that situation. I can't buy the elaborate flame-lit Bat symbol on the bridge.

Like did he return to Gotham and spend time in a ticking-time-bomb situation to douse gasoline or some other flammable substance on the side of the bridge.

Or did he apply the substance at some point in the past and it evaded both detection and weather-related erosion for however many months if not years, for the contingency of a day that he'd need to... light a giant bat symbol on that side of the bridge. And even if that were the case he'd still have to have made a trail of flammable substance from the bridge over to ice to where the flare would get set off.

.... probably less "plot hole" than nitpicking and I know it's a superhero movie but damn.

Ive been watching a lot of super friends on HBO max. You just cant even approach old super hero shows like that if you dont just assume super heroes do stuff. A flaming bat is just so whatever compared to hundreds of super hero illogicalities, and thats coming from someone who thinks ant man and the wasp is unwatchable because of how impossible the plot is.

My point is that if you only embargo countries that don't have something you need, you aren't really doing it for any altruistic reasons. You're doing it for political reasons, and it's time we stop pretending otherwise. Nobody cares about cuban refugees. They care about political power over Cuba. If Cuba suddenly had a TON of oil, everyone would gladly look the other way. Just like people look the other way toward our own human rights violations, including our own politicians.

.... Duh?

A. They have something we need/want
