Excellent commentary, as always. I am struggling to come up with a good Taika content ranking!!! Makes me appreciate you putting yours out there even more. Ragnarok is definitely high up there for me.
I get feeling fatigued by the Christ Pratt discourse but I want to give a quick counterpoint. The fact is, he first started receiving criticism because of his association with an extremely homophobic and transphobic church (which, as the interview you linked to explains, was not the church he attended but it turns out the church he attends IS anti-LGBT). Obviously, that hits home for me. I do not take it lightly when someone aligns themselves with an institution that is contributing to discrimination of and death in my LGBT+ family. Even though he gives lip service to people "loving who they want" he is actively participating in an institution that says otherwise. As a public figure, his actions do have an impact. I know you said you're done hearing about it so sorry for bringing it to your comment section lolllll I am extremely anti-"separate the art from the artist" and he looked like shit in Thor L&T!
I, too, am feeling one-upped by tiktokers on geoguessr. Take me back to the Sporcle days.
Well, if anyone could change my mind on the "don't speak to me about Chris Pratt," I'm not surprised it's you!! I thought he had left Hillsong over this, but obviously did NOT check my sources. This makes a lot more sense why people are so done with his double-speak.
Would love to hear your Taika ranking if you come up with one!
Hannah, this read was full of such intriguing stuff and fun links! Definitely going to watch RISE asap, well as soon as we finish Stranger Things. And could I just have someone explain to me Thor 1 and 2 so i could watch 3? You have me desirous to do so!
I downloaded BeReal. :0 Ahhhhh! But i didn't add any contacts, ha! I am so down with the sentiment, but still, scary. I feel like I'm going to caught on the toilet, though, I'm sure I could "just say No" at that point. ;)
So glad y'all are finding fun to stuff in here! To watch Thor Ranarok, you really don't need to watch the first two. Maybe watch a little YouTube summary so you have an idea of who the characters are? The beginning kind of picks up in the middle of some Marvel stuff, but if you just push through that, once the movie gets rolling, it's very much a movie unto itself without needing any other plots!
I must friend you on BeReal!!!! And I should've mentioned that you CAN post late! I almost always do because I'm not on my phone all the time like these kids must be. It just says "Hannah posted ____ hours late." You won't get caught on the toilet unless you WANT to be! (One of mine was definitely from the toilet.😅)

p.s. Anne Hathaway's Barbie look is life.
