When Benedict hosted the last time, the following week Dave Chappell hosted it. It had to be the most unfunny episode I’d ever seen. And yet, he was nominated for an Emmy for his appearance! In one of the sketches, he played a guy who lived with his mother. He has a bunch of his buddies over to watch a game or something, and when his mother brings out snacks for them, he doesn’t eat them. Instead, she breast-feeds him. His buddies are grossed out. Yes, that was the brilliant sketch he agreed to do that got him an Emmy nomination. I don't watch SNL. The Ben episode is the only one I've seen in totality. But I find Chappell funny and clever, so I'm really surprised to hear he wasn't any good on the show. That sketch sounds cringey. That sketch sounds disgusting but yeah, Chappell is very funny (although nowadays, kinda of “cancelled” by social media but not real world! That’s what woke kids doesn’t understand: they don’t have any influence in the real world and the restrictive and censoring measures they are fighting for are and will be continuing using against those who they claim to fighting for!). Chappell is the real deal. A true comedian with a lot of experience on sketches shows. BC has some comedy experience but he is mostly seen as a very dramatic serious actor, especially in the USA.

Doh! I was trying to figure out what fans of Benedict’s Mum had to do with it. Then I eventually realised it was a different Wanda. 🤦♀️ I’m not up to speed with the multiverse! EVERY time I see Wanda, no matter the context, I first think of his mum. And, then after a few seconds, I realize they are talking about the character. It gets really confusing when I am reading discussions and they say things like "Wanda's Vision" and "Wanda said" or whatever.

I had no idea who Dave Chappelle was when he hosted SNL, and I’ve still never seen him anywhere else. I didn’t find him or the show even a little funny.
The reaction to Benedict might be different this time because he’s so well-known and loved for Doctor Strange now. And people were probably caught off guard by him doing comedy because they didn’t know that side of him. Remember that backwards toilet ad he did? He was such a good sport in all the nonsense they threw at him!

Omg the Wanda Stan’s are the WORST. It’s fine if you wanna stan someone, but stop trashing other actors in the process. Seeing them online is like running across a pile of 12 year olds.
I have some interesting ideas as to birthday dessert now, thanks, ladies. I LOVE banoffi pie! So yum, and it’s easy to make, too. Right now I’m considering peach pie (with vanilla ice cream), chocolate icebox cake, or French Silk pie. 🤤 What to do…what to do…

Also, it’s kind of funny to see some of the most hysterical Wanda fans feeling disappointed that it wasn’t Elisabeth Olsen the one announced! They were sure she would be there because they believe she is the absolute star of the film and that for whatever reason Marvel is hiding that “fact” and making naive people to believe that Doctor Strange is the lead! But of course, SNL would want to invite her instead of him, right?! Well, life is unfair! 😉 (It’s like Sherlock fan fiction fanatics again! Just deluded wackos!) They remind me of the TJLC -The Johnlock Conspiracy Theory- nuts who had written with fire that Johnlock was happening, the secret episode and the aftermath.
I had forgotten the exact name of it so I searched for it and found that some people are reviving the theory for Killing Eve. Apparently the secret episode for them is today. Villanelle was killed in the last episode and the secret episode is about her fake death and having a happy ever after with Eve.

I would LOVE a secret happier ending for Killing Eve! I can’t wait! Ha!
I figured that since it was called Killing Eve, it would be Eve who was killed - if anyone. Villanelle was way too smart.

We will see but they are convinced that the film is about her because, in part, the so called leaks. I read them and they indeed mentioned her a lot but based in the one that seems to fit better to the promotional stuff I would say it’s mostly about him and the girl traveling for some different dimensions and confronting what would happen to him if he doesn’t accept things that can’t be changed and becomes something monstrous like her! And she isn’t even the only example, there’s also BC playing the other Dr. Strange versions! I can be wrong but they also can be very wrong and I bet they are more deluded than me! I saw someone predicting reviews saying “don’t fool yourself this is a Wanda movie, not Dr. Strange!” Lol Also, it’s impossible to compare streaming to the box office but Disney Plus is still not Netflix. I mean I can imagine more people watching King Richard on HBO Max (an even weaker streaming service) than on the big screen but we are talking here about the only kind of films that are massive on theatre vs. a relatively new streaming service. Remember that TPOTD was competing to the Hawkeye episodes? I’m sure a lot of Marvel fans and more causal audiences that love Marvel films haven’t watched WandaVision and doesn’t even have Disney Plus so call me crazy but I’m sure the Doctor Strange was watched by more people than her series. She is popular but I doubt she is the massively popular character they think she is. If that were the case, they would had gave her a film with her name and not a streaming series!

I actually made a list of Marvel actors doing SNL, based on that article I posted above. I just added a few from this season but there is a lot of actors I didn’t knew had made Marvel stuff (Julia Louis Dreyfus? Really? When?) so probably I didn’t included someone! By the way, I didn’t read them but Vulture wrote very negative reviews for the ones with Oscar Isaac and Jake Gyllenhaal! I think if you aren’t comedian you just shouldn’t worried too much and just enjoy the experience. SNL isn’t what it used to be decades ago. Actually, I believe it’s very difficult to do real incisive comedy nowadays and not offend someone somewhere and SNL isn’t the daring show it was in the 1970s since, well, the 1970s! They just repeat what it’s considered “appropriate” OT but when someone mentions Irak and the non-existed Weapons of Mass Destruction, I always remember how they made fun of the UN inspectors for being fooled by Sadam Husein! They are just comedians but as a non-American, it was just very clear they were just repeating government propaganda! So insane! I found less shocking the sketches of the pedophile uncle from early seasons! Again, they didn’t took hostages then and wanted to shock people! (I wasn’t born yet but apart of repetitions on cable, I own a pair of early seasons on DVD)
There are a very few women but apart that most superheroes characters are still male, I love that women actually dominate with multiple number of shows! Some Elisabeth Olsen fans accused SNL of ignoring female Marvel stars but both Marvel female movie leads are there and Black Widow is a member of the famous 5 Timers Club! Also someone posted an interview of Olsen saying she doesn’t want to host SNL because “she respected them too much”/she is afraid so apparently they want to force her!* Probably, she was asked when her series was released on Disney+. You know, the production in which she was the lead!
*They probably aren’t even real fans like those kind of obsessive people aren’t never really true fans!
