    The Boy’s Aya Cash for me is the best villain. And the fight that involved her and the other girls was a delight.
    WandaVision deserves the other awards.

      Lol I can’t take this award show seriously but Best Fight and Best Kiss? I know the MTV Movie and TV awards aren’t the Oscars or the Sags, but some of these categories lol. I’m surprised these categories still exist!!

  2. Detruth April 20, 2021
