| 2:12 | Let out an involuntary squeak at Clark Gregg’s name. I didn’t love Agents of Shield, honest. |
| 5:51 | The phone pouches on the wall is an interesting idea. |
| 10:08 | “You know, you used to be a little person that did what I said” |
| 17:01 | “Why should I have to ignore him? Why can’t he not be a dick?” |
| 17:34 | Keep your head up high. |
| 23:22 | I like how they had an inflatable football helmet to run out onto the field. |
| 27:28 | Haha, dramatic entrance to an audience of one old man who doesn’t care. |
| 35:26 | Yay Seth! |
| 40:51 | I feel like there’s a lot of injuries coming out of this party. |
| 43:22 | Dude. The King is worth more than the Queen. What IS that about?? |
| 46:17 | “Secret identities are objectively rad.” |
| 48:23 | Mean Girls reference! |
| 51:44 | Really loving the revolution, but I would have not been comfortable with tank top day either. |
| 1:00:35 | I’m not really on board with funeral home as a destination for hanging out. |
| 1:07:48 | Hover test! |
| 1:08:55 | “I do care, ok? You just have to let me do things my way.” |
| 1:14:50 | Proper quiz on the doorstep! |
| 1:21:54 | Frank the Print Guy is fab. |
| 1:26:57 | “We’ve been best friends since we were four. You really think you could lead a revolt and I wouldn’t notice?” |
| 1:38:52 | Spartacus moment. |
| 1:44:32 | Love that last look - proud but tears because why should it even have to happen? |
Thoughts
Brilliant, brilliant movie. Obviously it has that equality revolution vibe that makes it an incredible watch. But what I really loved about it is that none of the characters are perfect, they don’t just get everything they want, it’s not just a clean fight to the finish. They fight, they make mistakes, they’re insensitive to each other, they really are just teenagers trying to find out what they stand for. A really beautiful watch.
Plus, Clark Gregg.
