Amy @isabetta.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Here's my take on SM:BND. You won't need as many Kleenex as you did for No Way Home. There was a few "in the feels" moments. Some parts made me really laugh. Enough call-backs to high school Peter to make me happy. And enough holes filled and threads left hanging for a MCU outing. 100

Also "none of these raises will be retroactive & would take effect when the budget it passed." 100
