You wouldn’t fire a team principal effective immediately without giving a reason IMO. Maybe this is Red Bull operating differently from your regular F1 team and it’s really just because performance and Max. But to me it sounds like something bigger – either related to the allegations or Horner did something that lost him the owners trust.

They would have probably given him a reason if he was sacked for team performance.

Fired immediately without reason given sounds like something major.

I did a “Huh” there for a second, thinking they fired Mekies as well. Good to see Mekies promoted to RBR

It will be 5 years between the movies when it actually comes out in fall 2027… that’s really bugging me

Like the other guy already said, for the EBU the argument is always about the broadcasting stations, not the countries itself.

It reads like the member stations would have currently a majority to ban KAN for one year (2026), but didn’t vote on it.

Well, the story is not realistic at all. But at least it was believable to me, as in: it’s not completely impossible.

Combining tactical rule breaking and unsportsmanship with the most unusual accidents and incidents that have happened in F1 in recent years is… a choice. It makes good entertainment.

The story of Brad Pitt’s character himself and the rookie as well I actually enjoyed watching. Was surprised by that.

Insofern sehr spannend was die Beamten hier Aussagen… klar gegen den Hauptangeklagten, dass dieser grundlos Gewalt angewendet hat. Aber dann wiederum sich selbst schützend mit “der Bürger hat einen Gegenstand auf mich geworfen, ich musste ihn zu Boden bringen”

The juxtaposition between Parker and Joe as sons of powerful rich men is interesting.

Wtf is that ballbusting scene doing in a Disney property? That was just weird man

Smart move by Riri to use holograms to trick Parker

Also, I would have stopped using that elevator weeks ago! I already thought this when the entire crew left Parker last episode, I feared he might kill them all while in the elevator…

“I made a deal with… also a Beatle – Ringo” lol Mephisto

Re 8: the thing about Wanda’s boys was that she thought her ones were actually in a different universe, right? Because Billy projected his soul into the Kaplan boy, and Tommy’s into who knows whom. So when Wanda would search her boys magically she couldn’t find them, only the ones from a different universe.

As opposed to Natalie, whom Mephisto could probably pluck from any dimension or plane. So I think she is the original one who was dead - although it could be interesting if Mephisto did the same thing as Wanda and stole her off a different timeline.

Re 10: I wrote this under one of the earlier episode discussion posts already, but I love this about this show. It didnt need to introduce a lot of things itself, because it builds on so many established things. Really feels like MCU.

I was watching about the third scene where he appears in and suddenly remembered “wait… I read about a year ago an article leaking that Sacha Baron Cohen would play Mephisto… is that him?”

I think 1st N.A.T.A.L.I.E. (consistently called that in the subtitles) was simply a sophisticated AI and nothing more. And it was her subconsciousness who managed to create her when Riri was sleeping.

The Natalie whom Mephisto brought back is the real Natalie who was dead. That’s for sure.

What are they smoking at Marvel?

Why would you go out of your way to not have Mephisto show up in Wandavision and No Way Home, only to introduce him here? How does that make any sense?

And no, I’ not convinced by this show that Riri would actually strike a deal with him to revive Nathalie. Not after Xavier’s reactions.

Both Max and him have repeatedly said the same on this and it always confuses me because of the age difference. It must be something like Hulk still doing karting besides his single seater climb up

I didnt like this episode. Pacing feels like “oh shit we still have to do stuff before the last episode”.

Also, this show has some of the worst action scenes in all of Marvel. What is that fighting choreography? Riri beating up the siblings in hand to hand combat makes no sense whatsoever after he have been shown that those two can take out tons of security guards. Ridiculous.

“I will run down the street to escape the truck trying to run me over, instead of getting back onto the footpath behind all those parked cars”

I like that Landon came back – but seriously, what did Riri do with his wagon? Left it at Joe’s place?

Poor Joe became a prisoner in his own body :( his arc in this episode and the gang leaving Hood I actually have no issue with.

The suit can work with technology and magic, but not have AI and magic at the same time? That makes absolutely no sense and is just weak writing.

For me personally it seems like Oscar really 100% thought that penalty was bullshit, and he didnt realize what a dangerous chain reaction he caused by the sudden breaking as the safety car lights turned off.

So now we’ve seen his demeanor when he thinks he is being treated unfairly. Which is different from how he usually behaves. Pretty human.

When was the last time Max was so happy for another driver? I remember something similar last year or the year before? was it for Lando’s first win?

“You just busted down my door like the Kool-Aid man” 😂

I like Zelma. Seriously, they’re introducing some great characters here. Her mother magically shushing her though 💀

What I like about this show is that it really seems grounded in the MCU as a fictional universe. It’s not throwing completely new stuff at us, instead relying on tech, magic, locations and connected characters that we already know. Some other Marvel movies and shows have struggled with that aspect - mainly handling it like they’re in our universe and then dropping some shoutouts to the Avengers here and there.

That ending of the episode seemed like they chopped up some originally longer sequence.

I think saying “their culture” is way too generalizing. The problem is that they had their traditional way of living, and ever since the 1700s the governments all over central Europe have gone out of their way to destroy that. Treating Romani, Sinti and other “traveler” groups very much like how natives were treated in the Americas - their children taken away, families broken apart, languages forbidden etc. That has created a broken community/society. What laypeople might consider “their culture” is not their traditional culture at all, it is a result of their original culture having been destroyed by modern societies.

Obviously the status quo is a huge problem and the main factor in that are Romani people themselves. But I’d argue that it is really hard as a kid growing up to figure out a way that works in between problematic adults in your community, actual racism, reaching a good point in the main society and still not losing your roots.

Yeah, the writing on that heist and Riris side mission is weak as hell. Now, I personally can let that slide if the bigger story turns out to be written fine. So I hope the contract thing/Hoods plans and goals actually gets a twist at some point.

So far what I mainly enjoy about this show (after 3 episodes) is the character moments and the world building.

Damn he has Obadiah Stane in a kitchen baggie

Congrats Riri you just killed a man (granted he was trying to kill you too). And you broke your promise of not having this traceable to Zeke/Joe… I guess with the end of this episode, they wanted to foreshadow Riri’s doubts about criminal activity but damn there is zero of that in the first two episodes and suddenly this one starts with “yall are criminals and I don’t want this!”

Just like with the last heist, I’m ignoring the whack and unrealistic fight scenes. Idc.

But the reshoots and post production changes are visible in this.

Still a great enjoyment so far though.
