Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
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.)
Oof. That was a lot. I think I can only nod along to your thinky thoughts at this point.
I did keep thinking "Who is that? I should know her." every time Proxima Midnight spoke. It turns out I do know Carrie Coon. Does that make me 2 degrees from nearly the entire MCU?
I think it does, yeah.
Rewatched GotG tonight.
"THAT'S why you don't like hats?" and "You a professional asshole?" made me laugh. I think I'm going to start asking people their professional asshole status more in the future.
Also, ALL THE NEBULA AND GAMORA FEELS
First, the shallow: Times I lol'ed in the theater:
"We will deep-fry your kebab" sign in Scotland
Suuuuuuure Iron Man and Dr. Strange are the same height. Sure thing, there.
Someone's on the Internet enough to know the Rocket coveting Bucky's arm meme.
Other thoughts:
They just kept going back to the well of "give me the thing, or I will kill this person" I don't know if it's lazy writing or setting up a thing. I tend to agree that the soul stone will be a significant part of the fixing it*, so that requiring the opposite, I could see some foreshadowing
I have not seen Dr. Strange. Did we get a primer on the rules of time-turning-back in that movie?
Connie, I had the same question about SHIELD. Although I could believe that this was another season where they had to adjust their pacing to wait for the movie to come out.
-* OMG, the poor MCU tag wranglers on Ao3. There must be a half-dozen new AU tags with dozens of fics already.
I have not seen Dr. Strange. Did we get a primer on the rules of time-turning-back in that movie?
If by "primer" you mean "repeatedly hit over the head with this plot point", then yes.
