I learned today she apparently has red hair?

She was Max on Stranger Things.
Okay, I didn't watch that but definitely know who that is from gifs galore.
Oh, right. I looked her up at some point, even, but did not keep the name in my memory for long. I will take this opportunity to watch the Spiderman trailer (so behind on my pop culture, sigh)
Spider-man 4: Spider-menopause was very good, even if it was at least 30 minutes too long. The post credits scene is totally skippable for someone like me who is, at best, a casual / occasional MCU enjoyer. (I get that it's a hint to something but I don't know enough to care about what it specifically is.)

I thought I was still a fairly involved MCU fan, but I still had to have my brother explain the post credits scene to me. (I mean, I got that it was Ned's app, but I didn't get the significance of the Spider-Man icon being in space. My brother says it's because Spidey is on the Fantastic Four's ship with them. Though I also don't get how that's going to happen. I just overall feel like I am Not Getting It.)
Anyway, though, yes, the movie was delightful! I really wasn't sure how the Punisher would work in a Spider-Man movie, but it turns out the answer is: very well!
I didn't guess ahead of time what character Sadie Sink was playing, but the reveal did make me say "Holy SHIT!!!" at full volume in a packed theater. So well done Marvel, I guess.
I am tickled pink by Ned remembering Peter through the power of friendship (and maybe the suppressed Dr. Strange-like sorcerer powers from the previous movie?).
I didn't get the significance of
The explanation I heard was that the Spidey-signal never goes away in Queens, but then a second Spidey-signal shows up in outer space. which suggests that either Toby or Andrew will show up in the Doomsday movie.
It's unlikely that Holland will show up (much) in Doomsday, given the overlapping shooting schedules of the two movies.
Oh dang, I didn't even consider a *second* Spidey in outer space! I am really off my game.
Unrelated to that, I'd like to point out that the movie confirmed that, canonically, Frank has more cutlery than Kate Bishop does. (Because, to me, having 2 spoons implies having 2 forks and 2 knives, but Kate only has one because, as she said, she's only one person.) And I think it's hilarious that the goddamn Punisher has more flatware than rich-girl Kate Bishop does.
Okay, I texted my bro to ask if he meant a second Spidey off-planet (like Maguire or Garfield), and he said no, he was just thinking that during the events of Doomsday, the F4 would be in their ship doing off-planet stuff and Holland!Spidey would be with them. Which I can see happening, but it's not as interesting as the idea of a second Spidey. If the F4 are obviously coming from another universe, then they could grab an extra Spider-Man.
New trailer for Visionquest, which looks really good! It drops in October, so I feel like Marvel HAS to be bringing Wanda back in Doomsday. Which leads me to:
Also new trailer for Doomsday! (Wanda is NOT in the trailer, to be clear. Her returning in Doomsday is just my speculation.) I want to know if there's going to be a Winter Soldier-esque reveal where Doom is maskless and everyone loses their shit because he looks like Tony.
