Marvel has clearly shown that in their world mutations just unlock some sort of magic.

This never gets mentioned, but I wonder what responsibility Marvel bears for the generally low level of comprehension in our society of how evolution by natural selection actually works.

    anachronistic makeup/hair styling

    I don't know if this is exactly "anachronistic" since the movie is set 20,000 years in the future and who knows, but there's a scene in the second installment of the new Dune where the emperor is surrounded by his Sardaukar soldiers and they all have LA hipster haircuts.

  • who’s tuned to the news channel

    I agree this is rare, but my TV happened to be tuned to CNN on 9/11 when I turned it on around 10:30. I was playing hooky from work and getting high while playing bridge on my computer and nobody had called me. The screen showed a pillar of smoke and the caption said "second World Trade Center tower collapses" and I was like "what fucking movie is this?" Took a while for me to process what was happening.

    I lost it during Raiders of the Lost Ark when Indy stowed away on the outside of a U-boat and then rode it like a thousand miles across the Mediterranean or wherever they were. I guess they thought submarines just buttoned up when they left port and nobody ever went outside on the conning tower. And they never dove or anything.
