I’ve watched a couple episodes of Yellowjackets and I’m intrigued… but I’ve been burned by TV shows before. Do they know what they’re doing? You tell me! #yellowjackets

Does Yellowjackets have a plan?

Is there an overall plot to the TV show Yellowjackets? Is there a big plan for the story? Do they know where they’re heading? Or are they just making it up as they go?

I am now! “REGULATORS!”

Patrick Curry @patrickmcurry.bsky.social · Mar 28

I guess I’ll be giving the rest of Yellowjackets season 1 a try. But if I don’t like it this is the last time I’m trusting an anonymous internet form. Probably.

Patrick Curry @patrickmcurry.bsky.social · Mar 27

Hell yeah

Whelp time to mute some more terms here!

Congrats, Phil. You’re now an old cranky dad like me. “Everything you tell me about this movie is a spoiler!!!”

This show has lots of buzz! But just enough that I'm now suspicious it's a hornet's nest of broken promises.

Back from GDC and trying to remember how normal life works. It was wonderful seeing so many pals at the show... but I can't shake the feeling that I could have filled another week just catching up with folks. So give a shout if you want to have a call!

Cool to see our long-lost Marvel games being shared and talked about. The “MGU” was one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on, and made some lifelong friends along the way! www.ign.com/articles/the...

There Was Once an Idea for a 'Marvel Gaming Universe' That Would Tie All the Video Games Together Like the MCU, but 'It Didn’t Get Funded' - IGN

There was once an idea at Disney to create a Marvel Gaming Universe that would do for Marvel video games what the MCU went on to do for Marvel movies and TV shows. So what happened?
