You can find "plot holes" in most stories if you go looking for them, but also, with a little thought, you can come up with explanations for why they aren't actually plot holes. Stories don't need to spell out everything.

I have face blindness so I recognize people primarily by other visual elements (clothing, hair, etc.), their voice, and their mannerisms. In the newest Spider-Man movie, there's a scene with MJ where I couldn't recognize her (you know the scene if you've seen the movie). Really top-quality acting.

I was very surprised when a song in Mandarin started playing during the credits of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Apparently Sony set up different credits songs for different countries. Have any other major movies done this before?

Finished Widow's Bay. Wanted to like it more than I did since Lovecraftian horror comedy is my thing. Solid acting, great cinematography, decent laughs, and 2-3 really good episodes (generally focused on Patricia), but it felt like it ended up being less than the sum of its parts.

Got our tickets for tomorrow for the new Spider-Man movie. Crossing my fingers that it can reverse the trend of each new MCU Spider-Man movie being slightly worse than the previous one (still fun though since the first one was so good).

Splatoon Raiders currently has the 7th highest user score on Metacritic of all-time. Drastically higher user score than reviewer. Guessing the difference is users are more likely to be the target demographic (Diablo/Path of Exile/Borderlands/Monster Hunter fans).
