i like The Bear a lot but if i lived in Chicago and my local sandwich place got replaced by a restaurant where you pay 37 dollars for a plate with two bites of fish and a drizzle of sauce on it i’d be pissed
it’s really hilarious that in Avengers: Endgame, 4 billion people instantaneously dying has seemingly little to no impact on the way the world functions beyond making some people very sad
