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.)
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

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

If by "primer" you mean "repeatedly hit over the head with this plot point", then yes.

And yet, I don't remember how it works. And I watched that a couple weeks ago, max.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Behold, for I have now seen the Avengers over the weekend, and am released to read the spoilers.
The biggest laugh for me, unexpectedly, was Mantis declaring enthusiastically, "Kick names and take ass!" That took some explaining to Ryan.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I loved that
Thor assumed rocket was the Guardians' leader and didn't blink an eye at a talking raccoonrabbit, whereas any of the Earth heroes probably would have been struck speechless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It turns out that really all I need are the casts of CA:WS and Black Panther, and Thor. I like many of the rest of them, but eh.
I think not having seen Doctor Strange actually made that more enjoyable, because I just took Tony's description/explanation and left it at that.
I am mad about the end.
