I've never been stung by a wasp. I have been stung by multiple bees.
I don't know, but watching the trailers didn't entice me. Adam Driver yelling "Time stop!" seemed like it was written by a 5 year old, and the rest of it gave no real clue as to what the film was about. The tone and style of the film is indecipherable from what we've been given so far.

Then I could sue Red Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham, despite there being no copyright infringement with whatever game I made with that feature.
