Oh I loved it. Easily the best F4 movie they’ve ever made. I know that isn’t a high bar but still. People were worried about the casting but I thought the chemistry between them really felt like a family. The one thing that shocked me is I was not expecting to see Galactus look that visually stunning. I watched in IMAX and he popped on that screen. They did him justice. It’s hard to believe we have a great DC and Marvel movie currently in theaters. Can’t think of the last time that happened. I really enjoyed Deadpool & Wolverine so outside of that one it was my favorite Marvel movie since Guardians Vol 3 or Spider-Man: No Way Home. It sets up nicely for Doomsday next year.

This is good news!
I was/am very worried about Pedro Pacal because at this point all I see him as is Pedro Pascal and not sure I can think of him as Reed Richards.
Did that come into play with you?

I saw he looked good through 3, then I kinda tuned out.
I wish Verlander could find a little bit of success this year, like Kershaw has.

Your Mets won also last night vs the Giants..

The Yankees traded for all that BP help and those 3 guys blew the game vs the Marlins.😂😂😂

The Yankees will be in a battle for a wild card spot.
I believe the Mariners will make a big push.
That’s assuming the Jays don’t choke away the season...

From USAToday:
“
The Astros, after learning that third baseman Isaac Paredes will be out the rest of the season, made a telephone call that triggered the most stunning trade of the day. They called the Minnesota Twins to tell them they were interested in acquiring shortstop Carlos Correa. The Twins, who are up for sale, listened but had no interest. The Astros told the Twins that they’d help them financially by taking Correa off their hands. The only catch is that they wanted the Twins to pay half of the remaining $103 million he is owed, and asked for an outfielder in return. The Twins hung up the phone, called the proposal laughable and figured that was the end of it.

Owner Jim Crane, knowing the Twins are more than $400 million in debt, took over. He called Twins chairman Joe Pohlad, and let him know that he could take a big financial burden off his hand by moving Correa. In the meantime, Correa went to the front office and informed them that if they are selling, he’d gladly waive his no-trade clause for Houston. Crane and Pohlad talked, and talked, and talked some more. By the end of the day, the Twins agreed to send Correa to Houston, pay $33 million of his remaining contract, and got only minor league lefty Matt Mikulsi in return. The Astros have their third baseman for $70 million through 2028.

The Astros didn’t stop there, with GM Dana Brown grabbing left-handed hitting outfielder Jesus Sanchez from the Miamai Marlins and utility infielder Ramon Urias from the Baltimore Orioles. He nearly traded for Padres starter Dylan Cease until balking at the demand of pitcher Spencer Arrighetti and three prospects.

At the end of the day, no one obtained more talent, and gave up less, than the Astros.”

It was a good day.

No, I actually like Pedro and don’t really understand the hate he has been getting leading up to this move. Maybe people are tired of seeing in so many things or maybe it’s because of his political beliefs but I could not care less about all that whenever I’m watching entertainment. He has good range and is a great actor. Loved his portrayal of Joel in The Last of Us. He makes the marriage of Reed and Sue seem real and it feels like that from the beginning. Women always say they feel so comfortable and safe with him so I think he breeds a natural chemistry on set due to that. With all that said, I will say Sue steals the show and she’s the true leader of the family.
