Fuck Gav.  It gives me half an hour to myself in the playroom with a sandwich and some crisps on a Saturday and I'll take that.

Fuck you and your sandwich but at least you're posting in the relevant thread and not having us have two convos about the shite in two different threads eh

Can't hear you, too busy posting in the other thread.

Vanity Fair writer oddly seems to have amongst the best punts at the big reveal. 

Click the linky if you want to see what she's researched and had a think about it all. Seems fair enough and perfectly plausible to me. 

Not a big fan of this Wanda silliness really but it's lockdown so whatcha gonna do?

Can't go wrong with a bit of String Theory.

Thats a interesting speculative read. If it really is
Also a answer to the aspect ratio question (not a spoiler in of itself).

First of all, Marvel chief Kevin Feige told Vanity Fair’s Still Watching podcast at the beginning of the season that viewers might want to keep an eye on the shifting aspect ratios on the show. For the uninitiated, that’s a reference to the black bars on the top, bottom, and sides of the screen. Series director Matt Shakman used different aspect ratios to convey the different eras of television but, most pertinently, he reserved an extra-widescreen look for whenever we, the viewer, are in what we should consider reality. Now, usually that widescreen was reserved for action outside the Hex bubble, e.g., at SWORD base camp. But occasionally we’ve seen glimpses of this ratio inside the Hex. At the end of this episode, for example, you can see the black bars of the frame slide in as she stumbles onto the truth of her situation.

I did and i asked my missus but she hadnt noticed it either.

You don’t get that in Eastenders!

I thought it was weird they used 16:9 widescreen for the 80s episode. Did they have widescreen teles back then?

I'm hooked on Ventures Bros again.
The entire run is on All4 now.

If you are into superhero stuff and don't mind the riffing/parody its well worth a watch.
The take on Fantastic Four is brilliantly tragic.

Season 1 is more "What happens when Johnny Quest gets old?" But season 2 really picks up the super stuff and also adds a psychotic middle aged Johnny Quest for good measure.

By season 4 the buerocratic nature of heros and villians is in full flight with The Guild of Calamitous Intent representing the villians but acting more like the U.N or the E.U.

The puns also run strong like all good comic book characters. A favourite being an early menace who looks like a floating body and head but with invisible super powered appendages who goes by the name of Phantom Limb.
Limb spends much of his time in a love triangle between himself, Dr Girlfriend and The Monarch, The Monarch being the Guild's appointed arch villian for the Ventures, an angry buffoon themed around butterflies.

WandaVision
No real spoiler here but,

V.Bros is good fun. It does take a little bit of time to settle into it as its not reallyt like other stuff. 
Also the pilot (EP.1) isnt great, it is from the time when shows had actual pilot episodes made on lower budgets.

I just caught up on Wandavision and … well … I’m not up on how Marvel/Disney are handling their licensing and crossovers these days, but is there a link with Helstrom?

I shouldn’t expect a second season then, gotcha.

Spoiler:
