  Pretty sure that same Patrick companion was on season 1 of White Lotus! He was the same level of obedient and detached and everything!

  Captain America: Brave New World 2025

  ★★½ Watched 17 Feb 2025

  This film was just a confusing, meaningless, geo-political journey (vaguely connected to that awful “Eternals” film that I’d rather forget) to seeing the Red Hulk, whom everyone knew was coming, and who didn’t arrive until the last 25% of the movie. When he finally arrived, he was defeated very quickly. The main villain’s motive was freedom, even though he seemingly already had it, given that he was making calls from… wherever. This movie was pointless.
