MSheU

A play on MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) citing the increased focus on progressive casting and writing, particularly women empowerment in Marvel and also Disney movies in general.

Previously male characters may be replaced by women (e.g. Captain Marvel), and storylines are often focused around making the women characters stronger or less flawed than their male allies and where male characters are prioritized in getting killed first or require unreasonable amounts help from their female counterpart. The same idea can be applied to most Disney movies, for example Rey in the Star Wars: Awakens and the Last Jedi, who sidelines both Finn and Luke Skywalker, when Rey is just learning the force and Luke is the most powerful Jedi Knight alive at that point in time. In the original Star Wars, Leia Skywalker was empowered in a meaningful way without making the male characters totally useless.

Whereas overt female empowerment is expected for a character like Wonder Woman or Black Widow, changing story lines or altering the gender of characters entirely according to an idealised agenda is often frowned upon by audiences. These kind of retro-active changes are often seen as not only ham-fisted, but unnecessary and detractive from, sometimes to the point of completely dismantling the underlying story.

Did you see the new MSheU movie?
No. I haven't watched a Marvel movie since Infinity War. All movies made by Disney suck now.

LEMon

Gus Grissom hung a coat hanger with a lemon on the LEM (the Lunar Excursion Module or Apollo Lunar Module) signifying it wasn't going to work. A lemon is something that is crappy or not very good at its designated function. Upon close inspection of the LEM in Apollo photos one can see it is covered in black construction paper and gold tinted cellophane. The design and engineering document for the LEM was only 110 pages long. Projects of similar budgets to the LEM had an average of 50,000 pages. It would never have functioned as a real Lunar module.

Even a leaf blower would make a bigger blast crater then the LEMon.

Ultra MAGA King

The final form of Donald J. Trump, after he returned from his unfair defeat in the 2020 Presidential Election and year long hiatus. Some say Joseph Robinette Biden, the False King unwittingly summoned the Ultra MAGA King in a moment of dementia. Biden's sidekick, Jennifer Pisskey's attempts at reversing the ritual backfired and thus the Ultra MAGA King was born. The prophecy states that the return of the Ultra MAGA King will coincide with proof from God himself of the injustice committed against the people of the United States of America in the year 2020 and the year thereafter, which will signify the beginning of the end of the stranglehold of the Swamp over The White House of the United States of America.
