I think everybody kinda expected that Sony and Disney would find *some* way to work things out. I have no opinion beyond that because the *only* MCU film I've seen with Spidey in it so far has been Civil War and Spidey's role/performance was kinda underwhelming.

Speaking of underwhelming, I learned that Transformers: Cyberverse is a thing after it popped up on my NFI queue. Apparently following Transformers Prime (which I loved, although s3/Beast Hunters was a bit of a drop in quality and the movie was a bit worse; probably the only thing I absolutely loved about s3 was that it brought in Shockwave, who had previously only been shown in flashbacks), they had a new Transformers: Robots in Disguise that apparently continued the story (I was vaguely aware of it but didn't watch it) and then there were two Rescue Bots shows that ran at the same time.

At any rate, Cyberverse continues the gimmick of not having Bumblebee talk right (this time he can only parrot lines from commercials, etc, which he uses to communicate -- it seems to be for comic relief, but it has yet to be funny) and I guess the show's token female bot this time around is Windblade, who some of you might remember because she was Hasbro's fan-voted creation (and, if you didn't hear about, basically there were multiple rounds of voting but round one determined alignment, "gender", and I think vehicle mode). While Windblade's design is still pretty neat, the character herself feels like a massive step down from TF Prime's Arcee. So far the only thing I really like about the show is that it looks like the Seekers are going to get a lot of airtime since the first episode featured Thundercracker (who regrettably didn't speak) and Windblade talks about Seekers by name.

On the more whelming side, over the past few days I watched the second season of Disenchanted which, other than the first two episodes (which basically resolve the season 1 cliffhanger ending), was a good deal funnier than what I recall of season 1. My favorite episode was probably the writer one, partly for Luci volunteering to be Bean's "writer's demon" and that short hobbies discussion. During the same episode, I also paid a bit more attention to the name puns on some of the businesses she passed on the street (such as Gertrude's Steins and Poem Depot) and, whenever I rewatch the show in its entirety, I really need to go back and see what other signs I kinda overlooked. The Steampunk episode was also kinda neat.

However, despite having watched s1 within the past year or so, I realized I had forgotten a *lot* of stuff, which is another reason I prefer binging complete shows. Also I hate these 10-episode seasons. I'd rather get a slightly slower release schedule with 15-episode seasons.
