To add to this, my brother said he doesn't have much interest in ever watching Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness even though he loves Doctor Strange. Why? Because he knows that to really understand it as much as he can, he'll need to at least watch WandaVision as well, and in his words "I shouldn't need to do homework to watch a movie."
He really doesn't. Its very easy to infer from dialogue the key points of what happened.

I didn't say that he wouldn't be able to understand it at all, but without watching WandaVision, he'll have no context for why Billy or Tommy are so important to Wanda specifically, what the Darkhold is, who Monica Rambeau is... and so on.

I watched a lot of MCU movie out of order. Eg. I HADN'T watch all the movies before Endgame came out. There are always connection between different movies but all you miss is added context.

Plus, if I was ever going to tell your brother to choose something, it's to watch WandaVision as it's way better than Doctor Strange 2 : MOM

Edit: Marvel movies are incredibly uncomplicated for this very reason. Most people aren't going to watch everything

Since Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness is pretty heavily inspired by the House of M, and the House of M plays off the events of Vision and the Scarlet With which is what WandaVision is heavily inspired it makes a lot of sense that Doctor Strange: MoM would follow from WandaVision like that. Both are primarily about Wanda, and yes I find it annoying that the second Doctor Strange movie is really more about her than Strange.

On the upside, WandaVision is one of the more enjoyable MCU series, especially if you really like the aesthetics of old TV.

Ah, doing that "basing your entire argument on a single frame" thing, are we?



I mean, I'd smash. But let's be honest tho, in the near impossible event a woman like Lara Croft would be down for that, she'd be doing the smashing. Maybe also literally.

Then again, how much of an argument can you expect from someone who got hospitalized for severe dehydration because she forgot to drink water.

Lara's built like a powerlifter, Cammy's build like a martial artist/cross-fitter. They produce different physiques. Also Lara is in motion doing something and Cammy is in a rest pose. If she flexed, she's look similar but still smaller I think.
This was tweeted by a woman who likes saying the F-slur while reading scripture. Approaching anything she says with a modicum of sincere argument is pointless.

Also yeah, she was hospitalized for being too stupid to drink water.

Yes, it's the scary Muslim governments who have no cultural power who are a threat to the Western way of life (unless you count the modernizing Saudis), and the liberal and lefty creatives who are the threat to gaming.

Lara's built like a rock climber. Which is exactly what she is, she literally climbs a mountain in the first episode.

Rock climbers have wide shoulders and large lats and traps, very strong forearms, and a lot of core strength.

On the other hand Cammy in Street Fighter 6 looks more like a fitness influencer than a martial artist. Martial artists don't tend to end up with an hour-glass physique.

I should perhaps have appended Cammy with ‘relative to the intended style of the game’.

Now I feel crappy for not remembering my CPR training in high school.
Just go and get re-certified. It’s not a one and done qualification anyway, it generally needs to be redone every couple of years. On the upshot, they’ll show you how to use one of those automatic defib units and should give you a one use face shield that goes on your key ring.
