BFFs Iron Man and the Hulk try to rescue Star-Lord Yesterday in Celebrity Social Media, I pointed to a comment Katherine Schwarzenegger made about her husband consistently falling to the bottom of the Best Chris rankings. It’s not that serious and, as pointed out here, relitigating the order of the Chrises is more habit than debate. (Christine Baranski is By Maria • Oct 21, 2020 09:27 am

Martin Scorsese Martin Scorsese vs. Marvel Sometimes a thing happens and I think, Please, please can we just let that slide?
