I tried out a new recipe for Chicken A La King and the cream sauce actually held together well despite me missing some ingredients. I also used soy milk instead of whole milk, and it worked great.
Anyway, as I've been watching Agatha All Along I've also been rewatching some WandaVision episodes too. So then I got interested in Wanda's past, and some movies I skipped in the MCU with her and Vision. I even went back to Avengers: Age of Ultron, and I remembered why I hated that movie the first time and still hate it today. Tony Stark is such an arrogant egocentric asshole, and he convinces Bruce Banner to go mad scientist with him TWICE, making both Ultron and then later Vision. I mean, eventually we find out that Vision's a good guy and he's essential to Wanda's story, but why the fuck would anyone trust Tony Stark to keep going rogue? And he arrogantly talks about how he saved the world from a nuke as Iron Man, so that means he should get a free pass to do whatever he wants now without consulting the team. It's so fucking white male privilege and it reeks of the insanity that Elon Musk has revealed in recent years. Tony even openly cheats in trying to lift Thor's hammer by grabbing an Iron Man arm and having Rhodey help too. Plus, Tony's throwaway "joke" about reinstating "prima nocte" is so godawful. It reminds me of the stupid lewd remarks Tony made about Black Widow in Iron Man 2 when he thought she was just an eyecandy secretary. We let these sexist jokes pass and let Tony still be considered a hero because he's a tech genius. Fuck him and the writers thinking that shit was no big deal!
Plus the movie overall was depressing and weird what with Thor's dark visions of the future, and the endless scenes at Clint Barton's farm, and Ultron being over-the-top evil, and Captain America suddenly deciding/accepting that the Maximoff twins are good guys now just because they helped him during a bus battle against Ultron. He didn't stop to think, "Are you sure this isn't a mindtrick or a trap? Why did they betray Ultron?" He doesn't ask them for any explanation. There were more questions about whether Vision was evil or not, than about the twins changing sides. Not to mention the baffling Natasha and Bruce storyline where he just leaves her and the team without a goodbye. Just the whole movie is a piece of shit. The only good part of it was Wanda and Hawkeye having a moment in Sokovia in which he gives her a choice to hide or to come outside and be an Avenger. I'm never watching that film again even if it is the origin story of both Wanda and Vision. So glad they grew as characters beyond this stinker of a movie.
