"Come As You Are" was on Nevermind which was released in 91

Both of you are wrong as the single was released in March of 1992, thus making this one of the nerdiest sentences ever.

That's like, what? ... 7th best opening for an MCU movie. I've enjoyed all the MCU movies except for Thor II: The Bad One, but this movie isn't top 10. I'd say mid teens in quality.
Shut up, B. It made 153 million and it's the biggest opening of the year so far!
Do you trust those numbers? Disney and Rotten Tomatoes have not been anywhere near transparent enough regarding this movie for me to trust those numbers. I checked online before going out and at 4pm you could still get good tickets for the 8pm screening in my local theatre. Four hour before show time and an about 80 seat theatre was only 2/3 sold. Not sure I trust the numbers provided.

So, you're using anecdotal evidence instead of box office projections?

Unless it was released in 1989, my plothole holds.

90s nostalgia makes me sick. Nothing good came out of the 90s.

Only 80s nostalgia is good.

Flannel was around long before the 90s.
