Every few years some affluent white dude writes an editorial about how we have evolved past the need for libraries and I know for a fact they haven’t been in a library for many years because most public libraries have a line of people waiting for them to open each day.

my other concern is what are the stakes for this movie? We know BW is dead and she's (probably???) not coming back. And we don't know where we are in the MCU story, but this is a flashback, so it probably won't build on anything. It doesn't feel necessary to see.

And libraries have more than just books. But these chuds don’t know that because they don’t actually go to them. Libraries are essential third places in a world which is dead set on getting rid of them.

Take it from a scam lover:
If someone calls you and says your account is having issues, hang up and call the company.
Urgency is a big red flag. So is secrecy.
