Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

From Dana's link (out of context, not spoilery, really.)

"She also shows up in a spaceship in the colours of the Aboriginal flag, amid massive fireworks show, because why be subtle when you can be awesome instead."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"She also shows up in a spaceship in the colours of the Aboriginal flag, amid massive fireworks show, because why be subtle when you can be awesome instead."

Additional note: all the spaceships were given names of Australian cars.

That was very fun. But I had no idea that Sam Neill was the actor!

She has a kick-ass murder strut, too.

Just watched Dr. Strange, quite enjoyable.

So, the Eye of Amagatto has an Infinity Stone in it. So there's one, the stone from Loki's scepter is another, another one is stashed with the Nova Corps, is the Tesseract another one? Are there five or four Stones? And which one does which?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My brother and I were trying to hash out the Infinity Stones last night. There are 6, and we've seen 5 so far: (1) the purple one from GotG, (2) Eye of Agamotto, (3) the one from Loki's staff, which Vision currently has, (4) the Tesseract, and (5) the Aether (from Thor: The Dark World).

Presumably the sixth one will show up in Black Panther, although there's an outside chance they won't introduce it until Infinity War.

[This post brought to you by an exceedingly long string of texts between my brother and me, who are so geeky we still can't believe anyone married either of us.]

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

Yep, those are the Power Stone, the Time Stone, the Mind Stone, the Space Stone, and the Reality Stone, respectively. All that's missing is the Soul Stone.

I'm guessing the one in the Eye is the Time Stone, since Strange can roll back time with it.

I think Loki grabbed the Tesseract, so that they don't have to have a whole "searching the remnants of Asgard for the thing" sequence.

I'm suddenly wondering if Steve's going to have some sort of tie to the Soul Stone, though I'm still annoyed at him.

Connie, I agree -- I think we were supposed to assume that Loki grabbed the Tesseract on the way out of Asgard.

My current rankings, which change often:

    • Captain America: Civil War
    • The Avengers
    • Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    • Guardians of the Galaxy
    • Iron Man
    • Thor: Ragnarok
    • Spider-Man: Homecoming
    • Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
    • Ant-Man
    • Captain America: The First Avenger
    • Iron Man 3
    • Doctor Strange
    • Avengers: Age of Ultron
    • The Incredible Hulk
    • Thor
    • Iron Man 2
    • Thor: The Dark World

But really, 1-4 and 5-8 are all pretty much interchangeable with each other.
