Woah, woah, woah. You lost me at the beginning. "A more interesting companion"? Belinda was easily the weakest companion in Modern Who. The only thing she brought to the table at the beginning was push back against the Doctor (which other companions have done better at). Then her character completely regressed and lost all agency.

It was a mess. But honestly, I'm most concerned about Billie not being credited as "The Doctor".

Did I want 15th to leave? Not really. Did I want another repeat actor as the Doctor? No.

But if this is what we have, then I just want Billie to outright be the doctor. If she is some bizarre Badwolf/TARDIS transition point for the real doctor, I would lose my mind. That would really feel like a retread of 14. And the last two seasons have given me very little confidence that RTD could pull off a satisfactory explanation for such an odd transition. So I very much hope that she is indeed the doctor, and we can keep moving forward.

And they really didn't lean in to it at all... and Gabriel sucked.

It was really frustrating to have these last two movies cast her aside and focus on Grace.

Gabriel was underwhelming in Dead Reckoning, and was horrible in this one. He suddenly became very cliche and hammy. Luckily, the plane scene was fantastic, because he was really trying to ruin it.

The Entity was also underwhelming in this entry. Rather than exploring all the complexities of how an advanced, all-seeing AI would make the life of a master spy (and the world in general) difficult, we just get "we live in The Entity's reality. It will launch the Nukes"!

I agree with it being good to focus on Yelena and Bob for this movie.

However, I disagree in general. I think Bucky and Yelena would be a great relationship to build up. It's been awhile since romance has been a real part of the MCU, and these two have such tortured pasts, that it would be beautiful to see them find happiness with each other.

Yeah, he was underdone in this movie. Especially since Feige listed him as the leader. I was really hoping the movie would be centered around Yelena and him forming a bond together.

The post credit scene did give me some confidence. Yelena was the leader, but Bucky was sort of quietly mentoring her. I want more of that. Yelena should be the leader, but she needs some help with the real logistics of what that means. She's never been the true leader of a team.

I think there is a lot to gain by tapping into the talents of both Pugh and Stan at the same time.

I think Pokerface and Shrinking get decent attention, but not as much as they deserve.

The Curse deserves WAY more attention.

Wellington Paranormal deserves everything. That show is the absolute best.

Cherry honestly sucked. He wasn't interesting and his role would have been better with existing characters.

Brett definitely should have taken his place. There's a firmly established connection there that makes a ton more sense than a new character. If they didn't want to go that route, and just wanted a PI, use Jessica.

Kirsten was pretty good, but also would have had more impact with an existing character. Swapping her out for Marci would have made Foggy's presence felt even more. It would be really meaningful for her and Matt to have ed forces in law to honor Foggy.

It really made me sad that my wife and I didn't like Longlegs. We love those types of movies. I agree that the tension and atmosphere were strong, but I just didn't feel like that was enough to make it good. I'm also usually routing for Cage, but his performance and presence really pulled me out of it.
