I hated Justice League much, much more than Eternals. Just saying.

I rewatched this last night and it does get better.
It's no masterpiece but if you liked the first couple of games, you may get some enjoyment out of it.
Spiderman No Way Home was very enjoyable, which is hard for me to say for most Marvel movies. Good writing and pacing, not horribly overboard with nostalgia given the plot and character inclusion, a good balance.
Smart choice from Disney to rid themselves of the baggage of MJ/Ned/Aunt May and make a ton of money doing it.

The original or the very, very long ‘Snyder cut’?
We just watched Eternals again cause it’s free on D+ and I love free things. Still meh.
I think it was put out by Sony Pictures?
It's a Marvel property but Spiderman has been done so many times and for so long that its rights were probably sold separately decades ago.

Indeed, but there is evidently a lot of collab between Sony sand Marvel on the Spider-Man movies. They've had Marvel characters in there from Homecoming (Iron Man, Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan etc). They are also very similar in tone even if the writing, directing and production processes are utterly different.
I doubt most people even understand that the Spider-Man moves aren't made by Marvel. I doubt most people really care, they are just Marvel characters.

Sony have the rights to Spider-man and his baddies. So long as they make a film every so often the retain them.
After the rubbish 'Amazing' films, Marvel offered to take creative control, making the 'Home' films part of the MCU. Sony get better box office and films that don't suck in return.
They've signed another 3 film deal. The Marvel creative team will be responsible for those and Spider-Man will carry on appearing in other MCU films.
Since Sony still own the rights to Spider-Man characters, they can still put out terrible films like Venom 1 & 2. They're not really part of the MCU, except now they sort of are due to the multiverse stuff in No Way Home.

Davros, you are never going to stop posting the parody posters, are you...? Due to Rule 34 you are not going to run out of such items.

Except for those practicing kristannalokeism, the date is July 25, 2003.
And for the fringe cult accepting Lena Headey as incarnation of Sarah Connor, the date is April 21, 2011.

Headey was excellent, but Summer Glau also had lots of amazing moments that can stand with anything from the films. Like the time she forgot she was a Terminator and was compelled to see a shrink, and while in therapy suddenly recalled a burning desire to put the head of John Connor on a pike, for all to see. Lol, she left her therapist in need of some therapy herself. The lead-up to that scene is in the clip below.

P.S. What was easy to miss there, or at least forget, is that putting aside while she might have absorbed some of Allison's personality (and possibly somehow some memories), her original Terminator self had emotions. And that dovetailed with there being a splinter group of self aware Terminators, at least one of which was liquid metal, who had wanted to ask the Resistance "Will you join us?". Had the series continued we might have learned more about Skynet having some of its Terminators breaking away from it.
Sigh, remembering how much I liked that show.

I liked Lena and Summer a lot as well; the story not quite that much...
