When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Now I'm suddenly wishing that if Agent Carter doesn't get resurrected anywhere, Dottie somehow gets frozen or time-warped or whatever into the modern MCU.

Oh, that would be lovely! Dottie's such a fun character.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That would be awesome.

Well, his comic book look is pretty terrible. I imagine they were trying to modernize him while still calling back the comic imagery. I agree his cape looks a little weird, though I don't think he'd look "right" without it, either.

I just feel like the pieces don't go with each other.

I figured it was an indication of Vision trying to figure out how to exist in the human world and not doing that good a job.

I like that explanation!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I like that explanation too. The sweater vest was hilarious.

Did anyone else notice Tony Stark having panic attack/heart attack symptoms? That man needs help.

The man has no one backing him up anymore. I've seen so many people dismissing Tony's problems, one said "It's not like somebody with his money needs any help." I guess rich white guys aren't allowed to have PTSD from torture, betrayal, and flying nukes into outer space and mostly dying.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Or at least a Dottie centered short.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I figured the "pain in my left arm" comment was a joke (like, he wasn't actually having an MI at that moment), but the stress was real.

Or it's possible that only my brother and I find heart attack-related jokes funny. We are jaded.

I thought so except he was rubbing his chest and grimacing and looking scared. Either they're setting him up to have heart problems or the writers are real savvy about anxiety attacks feeling like heart attacks sometimes. At least he got a pat on the shoulder from Natasha.

Yeah, I get that he's privileged and his attitude can be off putting. But it's just Tony, Rhodey, and Tony's guilt now, and I think the man needs more of a support structure than that.

He had that surgery to remove shrapnel from near his heart at the end of IM3. I like to think, with no medical knowledge whatsoever to back it up, that surgeons would have noticed major heart disease while they were in there. But Tony canonically has panic attacks.
