I totally need Tony Stark/Doctor Strange fic now. I'm sure AO3 will hook me up.
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 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.
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.
Connie, on #3 -- yes.
I wonder if Hulk won't come out because he can't process not winning a fight. Combined with Bruce being afraid he'd never come out again if he let Hulk out, it should be an interesting conversation between thge two of them.
Connie I was thinking something similiar. I don't think Hulk has ever been hurt or beat like that and I kept thinking he as afraid of the pain/dying.
I think AoS officially takes place in an alternate timeline at this point. There's just no excuse for them not participating (and likewise, no excuse for them not asking the human/Earthling Avengers for help with their thing.)
