If I had a nickel for everytime Kevin Michael Richardson and Rob Paulson worked together voicing a duo of unlikely allies in an early 2000’s tv show, with Richardson’s character getting regularly beat up and his stuff ruined and Paulson’s character’s having an R name, a far more famous blue relative, and a penchant for annoying Richardson’s character by making sandwiches, I’d have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot of nickels but it’s strange that it happened TWICE.

Cabin Pressure is funny because a running theme of the show is Martin asking Douglas why everyone always thinks Douglas is the captain, and never once does Douglas offer the most obvious explanation: the twenty or so years of difference in age between them
so it reads like this:
man in his early thirties: why do they always think you’re the captain :(
man in his late fifties, working in an industry where age typically correlates with rank: bc i have self confidence :)

I am so sick & tired of stupid Comicsgaters citing Civil War II as an excuse to be bigoted against Ms. Marvel!
Y'all wanna know what one of the most irritating false narratives that I've heard bigoted Comicsgaters like Richard "Dickie" Meyer constantly spew? The idea that Kamala Khan is somehow a "fascist brownshirt thought cop" simply due to her Civil War II tie-ins wherein she briefly aligned with her idol Carol Danvers' "predictive justice" program of using psychic visions of the future to prevent crimes before they happened, but Ms. Marvel later switched over to Iron Man's side in the conflict after she realized that such a system was essentially profiling and a violation of people's civil liberties and due process that already hurt two of her friends.
Now personally I've always loved the Ms. Marvel tie-ins to CWII and feel that they were easily the best things to come out of that otherwise highly infamous event comic, feeling that they not only explored relevant social issues like profiling and policing, but also themes of outgrowing hero-worship as Kamala is forced to turn against Captain Marvel whom she idolizes so much in order to do what's right, and the arc also served as a prelude to my personal favorite Ms. Marvel storyline "Mecca" since it allowed the new antagonist Lockdown (aka, "Basic Becky the Junior Fascist") to radicalize Kamala's former friend Josh Richardson into becoming the fascist supervillain Discord.
Also, if Kamala was truly a "fascist brownshirt" like these idiots CGers claim, then why do these scenes happen?
Kinda disproves their whole narrative, doesn't it?
Still though... ever since that scumbag Richard Meyer showed his ugly face he's constantly used Kamala's CWII tie-ins to demonize Kamala as being this "irredemable sociopathic fascist brownshirt who crippled her friend Bruno for life." Except... NO SHE DIDN'T!!! Bruno tried to break Josh out of Becky's makeshift prison with a high-tech lock-pick that malfunctioned and exploded on him. Meyer also conveniently ignores the fact that Kamala briefly aligning with Carol for the first half of the story before realizing that she was on the wrong side and tried to correct her mistakes directly mirrors Peter Parker's actions with Iron Man and the Pro-Registration side in the original Civil War.
But I don't see Meyer calling Spidey a "fascist brownshirt." I smell some racist & misogynistic double standards here!
Like, Meyer singlehandedly started that bullcrap argument about Kamala with his AWFUL videos (similar to Lily Orchard and her bullcrap narrative about Rebecca Sugar being a "fascist apologist"), and everytime I see Meyer or other CGers mention it I immediately facepalm and say, "For crying out loud... ARE THEY STILL GOING ON ABOUT THAT?!"
Just remember everyone:

At the Battle of Antietam, the Irish Brigade led its division in attacking the infamous Bloody Lane. In preparation for the deadly work ahead, Father William Corby, one of the brigade’s chaplains and future president of Notre Dame, rode down the firing line and administered a general rite of absolution to the men.

1) Nega-Globby’s such a know it all. -_-
2) Something tells me Richardson would try to one-up Fred at the “Captain Fancy” premiere, so I think Fred would be better off doing something else. ;)
3) We’ve all been there with shots, although Globby has more of a reason to be scared in this case. ;)
