The rule was, as I understood it, if you tried to change the past you created a branch in the timeline rather than changing the past. That's why the Ancient One was loathe to give Banner the time stone until they promised to clean up the nodes, and they didn't stop the snap but reset it. ...and then Cap had to have his 'me' time...

I'd forgotten about the wardrobe change. I really need to watch the whole film again - its been a few years...!

But why does Rawhide show up in the end credits...?

That'll be fine until the Air Force One crash lands there during a hijacking. "Ayy! Number Onnee! You're the Duke! You're the Duke!"

Isn't taking a date to your vaccination a bit unusual...?

Based on a novel by Kenji Miyazawa, the book, ostensibly a children's book, deals heavily with the idea of those who sacrifice for others. Miyazawa started writing the book shortly after the death of his sister and continued to revise it at least through the start of his own illness. It wasn't actually complete (the middle section is missing parts) and was posthumously published in 1934. Because its a seminal work of fiction, its influence shows up in a lot of other Japanese fiction, most strongly perhaps in Matsumoto's Galaxy Express 999. Not sure why the Anime re-envisioned Giovanni and Campanella as cats though.

Most modern US films use some CGI, even if its just to eliminate things from the image that shouldn't be there (excepting maybe the most micro-budgeted of independents). I think the problem can come when the CGI starts to do all the heavy lifting of the film - acting, visual narrative, action etc. There's something positive to the use of practical effects, in camera images and physical sets that perhaps is lost when your actors, your set and everything else is generated from heavily processed mo-cap and/or out and out in computer creation.

Eh, CGI is a tool, neither good or bad. It can be used badly, though, and I think sometimes, to paraphrase Jurassic Park, the filmmakers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should I saw Black Widow. it was okay, but the H2H combat was about what you get from the other Marvel films, IMO. The strength of the film is really Johansson-Harbor-Pugh-Weiss and their character interplay. But Ray Winstone's Russian accent was all over the place (possibly a product of reshoots).

Generally speaking, some leeway has been provided in political/topical news to provide context to current events that made be of national or international interest. A man and woman having a bloody and protracted fight in an elevator was determined to not meet that standard. That said, we are human and as the moderator team changes so too will the views of the moderator team, but no human is perfect. If you wish to object to how the moderator team reviewed the now removed post, please contact @Fionavar.

They could haunt the land the house stood on. Or worse, it could free them to travel wherever they like!

What if the ghost was of an introverted person with OCD and they spent their time trying to not be noticed while they organized your pantry?

Probably I guess, it was in quotes. But we don't get many chances to drop "oblong" into casual conversation, either, so why deny an obvious one?

Fruits aren't gendered. It doesn't take away from the possibility that oblong watermelons vs round being sweeter (that does seem to hold true from what I've read), but why not just say "oblong" vs "round" rather than "male" vs "female"? (Fruits are grown from the female part of the plant's anatomy, and are IIRC essentially a pollinated, ripened ovary)

Funnily enough, the actual etymology for wife is apparently a lot harder to nail down.

Supposedly as I understand it - and I've only heard one side - the Lincoln, Nebraska Burger King was routinely understaffed with employees regularly working 60 hour weeks. The manager was hospitalized due to dehydration after working long shifts in no air condition and was told by the upper management she was being a baby for complaining. She put her two weeks in, several other employees quit since she was leaving as they knew her and not the upper management who had never bothered to even come to the store to review what was going on. The employees put the sign up, since there was not going to be enough staff to keep the site open and upper management fired the manager. Also, accordingly, there's a lot of turmoil in upper management according to the former manager, and that prior to her taking over the store, it had high turnover, which indicates - perhaps - an organization that is struggling with multiple problems at multiple levels.

To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.

I think the report talks about Da Vinci descendents, not specifically Leonardo, going back to Leo's great, great grandfather and exploring five major branches of the male lineage (as they're tracking the Y chromosome).

The Chase is going to be a pain to watch, amid other problems.
