  1. Hooray for Russian Doll! I was starting to think the show was gonna just fade into that abyss of fantastic but only one season programs. Thanks for the news Heather! Also I loved the article on bound. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! However you celebrate! (It’s okay if part of you think it’s a semi capitalist lie but still want chocolate. That’s me too right now.)

  2. First season of Russian doll was so good, that maybe my expectations are too high for the new season. I hope it keeps what made it good, but cautiously optimistic.

  3. The RUMOR is that Jessica Jones will show up in “She-Hulk”. I’d love that as it would have three super-strong, super-powered women in it.

  4. i am indeed caught up on Hawkeye and i would love for them to tackle the ‘kate kind of works with/kind of interns for dysfunctional PI jessica jones’ arc from the kelly thompson run! i think their dynamic (esp if they use the existing krysten ritter jess) would be funny and delightful

    also re: america chavez, can’t believe i’ve adopted a new child! i care So Little about stephen strange i can’t even put words to it but between baby america and wanda, i might have to watch this

    • YES! I would *love* that. Just imagine how baffled Jessica would be CONSTANTLY by Kate.

      Also this is exactly what I have been saying about Dr. Strange all day. Stacy keeps being like “It looks like they’re making Wanda the villain” and I keep being like “Don’t care, still rooting for her!”

      • motormouth kate bishop who runs on sunshine and optimism meeting jessica ‘if you speak to me before i have my morning whiskey i won’t be responsible for my actions’ jones and then! then they have to TEAM UP! perfect world really

  5. I’m totally here for my boy Stephen Strange. He gets so much hate online and yet he’s the one who suffered the most in order to save the universe (going through thousands of deaths in the first movie, looking through millions of alternate realities in Infinity War, losing loved ones in the process, etcetera…)

    And I also can’t wait his relationship with America Chavez.😁

  6. I appreciate the efforts you people put in to share blogs on such kind of topics, it was indeed helpful. Keep Posting!
