Now that you mention it, they did. I don't think I noticed much at the time. That whole final battle was just so intense. I've been trying to educate myself a bit on the comics vs. the movies (have started reading Thanos story from semi-start) and watched a bunch of random YouTubers and learning more about that powerful future you referenced. Looking forward to that. I watched a video today talking about how the Secret Wars event from a few years ago could serve as the big crossover movie this time. But I really know so little about the bigger more magical and cosmic powers in the comics.

Glad that the job is going well, aurik, and thanks for the update. I'm surprised there isn't more in Denver for you, but that's great that you have that time with the other instructor. Patrick

Priceless! Congrats. Patrick

Great to hear about the progress!

SPOILERS BELOW. I'm going to add "(Spoilers)" to the title of my original post so it changes the thread title, as well. - - - - - I saw it. Keep in mind, I don't have a deep allegiance or level of devotion to Bruce Lee, so I just see it as a movie scene. I thought it was fine. It shows a character showing off for a group of people, then Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth character laughs, Lee takes it the wrong way, challenges Booth, they have a fight. Later it shows Lee training Sharon Tate for a fight scene in a movie, and they are having fun and he seems like a good instructor. And that's it. I can understand if he was your family or friend, etc. that you might have a deeper connection to it. Totally respect that. I guess if you know him and knew for a fact that he never showed off to anyone in his life, even at his peak, and he never challenged anyone to a fight, then I guess it's an extremely inauthentic portrayal. But beyond that, it's a movie, an alternate telling of particular time in Hollywood when the Mansion murders occurred. If anyone wants to come up to Hollywood, I'd be happy to show you around some of the locations near our apartment. Some more about the scene: https://www.indiewire.com/2019/08/once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-bruce-lee-battle-timeline-1202163929/ https://www.nme.com/news/film/controversial-upon-time-hollywood-bruce-lee-scene-changed-brad-pitt-expressed-concerns-2536867 Patrick

I did not know you were this involved, Brian. Haha. I like it! This is interesting. You know a lot more about Hulk than I do, but I have heard about how if he was as powerful in the movies as he was in the comics, it might present issues for the story (or something along those lines). I find it funny (and, of course, it's part of the action) how quickly someone who seems SO powerful can then be beaten. Ebony Maw is a good example for me. When he showed up in Infinity War, it was like... holy mackerel, how do you stop that guy? He's got Doctor Strange wrapped up in some vines in like two seconds. Oh, shoot a hole in the side of the space ship and he gets sucked out, he's dead. Infinity War and Endgame had SO MUCH GOING ON, so you do have to sort of move quickly I assume, and I loved them both, but I just found it funny.

Danielle's birthday is August 3! Happy early birthday, Danielle! Thank you for all of the contributions that you have made to our community. Patrick

I'll say that with the MCU, Marvel really made me interested in Spider-Man again. Inside the Spiderverse contributed, too, as I started reading the Spider-Man Noir comics and am really enjoying them. But back to Far From Home, it was great. I can't believe Peter was so easy to give Mysterio Tony Stark's glasses. But excited to see Doctor Strange explore the actual multiverse. Patrick
