You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I was watching it saying to myself, I have no idea what is going on, but I know it is important.

Yes, this!

Oh, and I looked up Ezekiel 25:17. It says, "I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance upon them." Nary a righteous man in sight.

well caught, Kalshane.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I took that as a subtle Pulp Fiction reference, very cute.

Oh, duh. I haven't watched that one recently, but good point.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Also I can't wait to see the vids that come from this movie.

"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." GAH STEVE YOU KILL ME.

Compassionately intolerant

I was also mildly disappointed that it wasn't
Jenny Agutter's character kicking ass .

Me TOO! I so wanted that to be the case.

Following that, I had to ask why wouldn't she just take off her jacket for cripe's sake.

Anyway, I loved the movie much more than I expected to. I didn't really like the first one but this felt so different and was action, action, ACTION!

One of the people with me kept speculating that Magneto might cameo in Avengers 2 as a result of the mid-credit scene. I can't imagine that both for 'don't cross the streams' reasons and for economic reasons.

Now I can't wait for A2 OR Xnext.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Doesn't this also preemptively kind of shit on the Peggy Carter series ?

Also, I guess Marvel has a Dr. Strange movie in the pipeline.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Tom, I don't know why it would. Zola said the infiltration of SHIELD slowly grew over time.

I imagine that back in Peggy's day things were still relatively straight-forward.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Following that, I had to ask

Well, by the time she realized what the thing on her jacket was, Pierce had a gun on her. Didn't look like she had much opportunity to remove it.

Anyway, I loved the movie much more than I expected to. I didn't really like the first one but this felt so different and was action, action, ACTION!

Oh yeah. I liked the first one okay but wasn't a huge fan or anything, but this was much more style. Every Marvel movie is a different genre, even though they do share similar sensibilities that allow me to enjoy them regardless.

Doesn't this also preemptively

How so? We learned from the Agent Carter one-shot that she founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with Howard Stark. I assumed a series would be set during that time.

And I totally glommed on to the Dr. Strange reference as potential confirmation that it's happening. It's been discussed a lot; I think they've mentioned it before.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What was the Dr Strange reference? I need to read more comics.

When Sitwell (R.I.P.) was listing dangerous people identified by the Algorithm, Stephen Strange was among the names. Dr. Strange is both a medical doctor and a doctor of MAGIC. I haven't read much with him, but he's a pretty cool character. Because MAGIC.
