I wanted to be entertained. It looked pretty. Was predictable and uninspired. Boring.
The story was done better in The Incredibles and it was groan-inducing to recognize the ham-handed move to setup present-day Avengers.
The post-credit scene only made it worse.

Ever read published works as an editor?
“The sun was behind her, and her shadow was inching into his field of view. … If there had been any other way of approaching him, she would have done it, but there was no other way.”
I’d have cursed those final 6 worthless words & deleted.

![Frankie Abagnale has sent friend requests to: images of book covers for THE YEAR MY LIFE WENT DOWN THE TOILET, HAZEL HILL IS GONNA WIN THIS WON and SLOUCH. Screenshots of RevPit 10Queries feedback from editor Leah Rambadt: "Love the voice in this one! Very engaging and entertaining. Instantly caught my attention. Great work previewing writing stylce and MC voice [in query letter]. It's a little on the long side, so tightening the language and focusing on GMC while still keeping voice is key." "MC is hilarious, def want to follow them around for an entire story. Love the MC's voice, the bits of interiority, and how descriptive lang reflects the MC's POV. Opening seems high energy to reflect MC's high energy; it's an effective hook, but would use strategically."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j7o6wkfqofdvri3h2w3z3vjc/bafkreihyriulziburs7ge7a4efseayqgrl2jbk7mvjz26jq35ahm6j4g2u@jpeg)
