Comment on The age of the superhero is over in ~movies

worldmultiverse is in danger again. Every superhero had to join to save it first time but now they can do it individually. Like Thor, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, even Shazam (haven't seen it but it had dragons basically that) are not needing any help now. They are facing Thanos/Darkseid level threats like nothing. I'm less tired of superhero movies more of same generic plots and jokes. Everyone has nanotech now.We need more grounded and less world ending events. Guardians of Galaxy 3 has no overarching plot connecting to main multiverse plotline. It's just doing its own thing. And it's best superhero movie in recent times. I'm hoping Gunn can do same with DC. He has announced a Supergirl movie based on Tom King's limited series which is absolutely a beautiful story to adopt on big screen. DC needs a long overdue course correction that Gunn can do. I don't see higher and higher stakes just make some good movies. Heroes can come together for a brunch too.

It was really awesome. But we couldn't figure out how to install games and play music/videos. I think we had Linux for Dummies or similar book that talked about installing packages so we downloaded tar ball files and they asked for more missing packages.

rish LinkIn Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan used to have his character named Vijay. More than 20 movies, as per Google. Those movies were major hits so he thought it's as lucky charm.In Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan used to have his character named Vijay. More than 20 movies, as per Google.

Apple TV says the title is no longer available after I sign-in, I guess because they don't have streaming rights for it in India. Same for Amazon. Freeview app is not available outside Australia. TCM also not working for me. eBay prices (before the shipping cost) are way above what I can afford I didn't bother checking.

They are doing everything to look good to shareholders. Cost cutting anywhere they can. As per their plans HBO will be

Since about three years a crow comes everyday on our window and screams kawwn kawwn for 10-15 minutes, leaves after that. And then comes next day at noon again. Don't know what's up with that. At first it was annoying but now I just take that as a queue for taking break from work.

For years they planned a underground passage but nothing happened other then paperwork. Now they are constructing this overbridge, could be operational this year. It will actually solve the traffic jams there. But the thing is the other end of overbridge ends at another already traffic ridden area. Stupid people just spent millions to divert the traffic a kilometre away.
