We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

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

If you saw the postcredits scene from the movie, the person on the other end of Nick Fury's pager is Carol Danvers, aka Captain Marvel, whose movie is coming out next March.

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

Maybe the reason Captain Marvel didn't join in any previous battles was because she was in space doing space things. They really need to address that though.

Dr. Strange said there was only one possible future where they won, and then he did something he swore he would never do, and then told Tony it was the only way, so I think he set up the ultimate re-do in the next movie, whatever the heck it turns out to be, because I see a couple things that can undo it but I can't see how to get it all to work.

Surely it's not a spoiler that stuff will need to be undone.

I expected that Loki would die but I'm glad they didn't undo his little redemption by having him surrender completely to Thanos.

It's really easy to type Thanks instead of Thanos.

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

Ohhhh.

Ha. Infinity War Aleph1: this time it's uncountable. Continuum War! Thanos may have the set of whole infinity stones but the Avengers are going irrational and keeping it real!

I totally need Tony Stark/Doctor Strange fic now. I'm sure AO3 will hook me up.

Forget A03, Marvel itself basically hooked you up: [link]

This film made me realize that Gamora and Rocket are the only Guardians characters I give a damn about. I gasped when Bucky and T'Challa disintegrated, and when Peter Parker did it was all I could do to bite down yelling "NOOOOOO!" in the theater. But when Drax, Mantis, and Peter Quill crumbled my reaction was feh, whatever. And I only cared about New!Groot because of the effect on Rocket.

Yes!

Also, I am here for the Marvel math jokes, even if I'm not mathy enough to create my own.

That's AMAZING, -t.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I personally would not mind a little side item of Cap/Black Panther. I guess my thing is hot guys fighting together, because it gave me happy memories of Steve and Tony fighting together in the first Avengers in the attack on the helicarrier.

Spoilery thoughts:

I don't think Gamora is dead-dead. That whole thing where you have to sacrifice something you love to get the Soul stone? That's a classic trap, fool. And too much of the movie focused on people being willing or not willing to make sacrifices. Peter and Gamora, Thor and Loki, Wanda and Vision, everyone and Vision.

And honestly, if you're willing to sacrifice someone, can you truly claim to love them?

Everything with Peter, oh my god, you are a baby, stopping making me clutch at my heart and worry about you when you call people sir.

I hope whoever casts these movies gets substantial bonuses, because Tom Holland is another brilliant casting choice.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Non Infinity War stuff. I watched Spider-Man Homecoming last night while E and his friends were at Infinity War. So good. Tom Holland really is so good. I always love Michael Keaton. Zendaya was really just set-up for the next one, her part was so small. Loved the best friend. Loved how it fit in so well with the other movies.

Wow.

Strange gave up the Time Stone because in the one way to victory that he saw, Tony needs to be alive.

I wonder how many of the deaths will stick. I'm afraid Loki and Gamora may be done for. But Loki claimed the title Odinson in the end. "We have a Hulk."

I suspect Clint is going to go off the rails because his family was taken out.

But I think the coolest thing of the whole movie was when Red Skull stepped out of the shadows. Way to pull from everywhere, Russos!

"Why was she up there this whole time?"

Other things

1. "I need a distraction." "Oh my god, we're going to die!"

2. Tony and Pepper are happy together! About fucking time!

3. Did Nebula survive? I lost count. Because Tony has to get home somehow, unless the Guardian's ship is there somewhere intact.

4. I wonder if Agents of Shield acknowledge what happened, though I doubt they'll have half the team disappear.
