I am angry because her name is Lylla, pronounced the same as Lila, which is also the name of Clint Barton’s daughter in the MCU, and Clint Barton’s wife is Laura who is played by Linda Cardellini. I am angry because I had to watch her, an animated otter, kiss an animated raccoon I don’t like. I am angry because she is so cute and so sad but they didn’t make me any licensed plushies of her. I am happy that Drax (Dave Bautista) is a dad now, and that Nebula (Karen Gillan) is doing good things, and that Mantis (Pom Klementieff) is a horse girl, and that Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is happy I guess? I am outrageously angry about Lylla the otter (Linda Cardellini). Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) is nothing. 3 did nothing for me, or for drift partner we went on a very hot weekend to get into the air conditioning and had a solidly mediocre time. But he got better when they let him be a giant dork, and he’s just a goofy dad now. We didn’t used to! In his first movie he completely sucked. And, honestly, we do like Scott (Paul Rudd) now. It also introduced Jentorra (Katy O’Brien), who is obviously a lesbian icon, and Quoz (William Jackson Harper), who is charming by virtue of being William Jackson Harper, and a little gelatin guy whose name we have willfully forgotten so as to call him Jeff (but in an Aussie accent). It did feature a grown-up Cassie (played by Kathryn Newton, known to us from drift partner’s beloved Halt and Catch Fire) being great and awesome, and more Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer). Not as bad as a lot of people thought, in my humble opinion, although it wasn’t a gem either. This show unironically got me through some of the hardest bouts of bullshit I dealt with this year, and I thank it for that.Īnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was this year, wasn’t it? That movie is fine. I would have been happy with literally any combination of romantic pairings (save the boys with Bess, since she is a lesbian) but I also love that ultimately the message of the show was that friendship is magic. Normally in a fictional friendgroup of mixed gender, I will love most or all of the girls, like some of the boys, and absolutely despise others of them. Why are there ghosts (or witches, or shadow monsters, or)? Because that makes it fun. It’s in Maine now! Why? Because there are ghosts in Maine! Nick’s mom said so and she was right. It’s such a fun little weird show that takes inspiration from the original novels while also going completely off the wall. It’s not perfect, but it’s got elements of Buffy and Veronica Mars and Legends of Tomorrow and Warehouse 13 and, I don’t know, probably Gravity Falls or The X-Files or Twin Peaks (I’ve never watched either, but, y’know, vibes). I discussed the CW Nancy Drew in April, specifically regarding Nancy herself being super autistic, but the show had its fourth and final season more recently than that and I want to keep talking about it as much as I can. I do miss blogging more regularly.Īll of this is to say, the year still had highlights. I don’t owe anyone that, but I’d like to for myself. I’m going to try to be better at posting in 2024. Also, the world is just getting increasingly messed up! Most nights and weekends, we’ve only had the energy to turn on movies or shows we’ve seen before, or YouTube videos, and maybe draw (I’ve been fairly active on my art Instagram, but the Instagram algorithm has gotten increasingly shittier, so while I still like making and posting art the potential endorphins from sharing it are basically irrelevant). Then in the fall, a friend of mine had a health crisis, and our social circle has been affected by that it also set off some latent things that it turns out I still needed to process about my own long-ago health crisis. My new job is much better, although still stressful at times, but getting back into old routines has been difficult to say the least. I started the year in a job situation that got increasingly bad, to the point where I was speedrunning symptoms of depression (lack of appetite, lack of interest in usual things, lack of motivation, constant creeping dread, etc.) and also experiencing a fun stress-triggered dermatological outbreak (the likes of which I last experienced as an allergic reaction to scented detergent). This has not been the best year for brains.
