I think it does, yeah.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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 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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My brother (who is well-versed in the Marvel comics lore in addition to the MCU) has a theory that all the people who turned to mulch are in an alternate universe, and fixing that is where Captain Marvel will come in. Though I don't know if that means Loki's and Gamora's deaths will be undone, since they weren't mulched, but killed directly by Thanos. And yes, I'm going to keep calling it "mulched" because, dude, that is exactly what happened.
But what I want to know is, since Ant-Man and the Wasp comes out in July, when is is set? After Infinity War? Because incorporating and dealing with the fact that literally half the planet turned to mulch would sort of overwhelm the movie. So I feel like it has to take place BEFORE Infinity War.

Good term, Tep. Although you have sideways convinced me that a vid of The Cure's Disintegration that's just characters getting mulched would be the greatest thing ever. I'm not right, I own that.
That was hilarious, bt!
I haven't decided how I feel about Thor calling Rocket "Rabbit". I need to think about it some more.
