And yet, I don't remember how it works. And I watched that a couple weeks ago, max.
Marvel Universe: Infinite Chrises
Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
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.
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.
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.
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.
I definitely don't hang out in the right sphere on Tumblr, because I was sure it would collapse under the weight of Loki's death, but it's just trundling along as usual, at least in the part of Tumblr where I hang out. I suppose if I were a masochist I could search #Infinity War on Tumblr, but I'm no fool.
Never check the tags is Tumblr's version of Don't Read the Comments.
Or, why I know the direct URLs to four or five Tumblrs devoted to pictures of Chris Evans so I can find new content for the 'stache blog.
Also, once again, NEBULA, OMG, NEBULA.
Also, once again
I very VERY strongly want Nebula (not sure why I'm white-fonting that, but whatevs) to be the one to kill Thanos in the next movie. I've felt that way since GotG2.

Sometimes it's entertaining, though, especially when I have zero investment in something. (Because after all this time, I super don't care about Loki. I mean, I like Hiddles as an actor, but I just don't give a damn about Loki. At all. So Tumblr posts are just going to entertain me.)

This can also be said about the comments if there is zero investment! Or if it's years later and you're reading the AV Club comments about the casting for Captain America and LOLing. Esp. because I think there was one dude who came back a couple years later and was all, "I was so wrong."
Yeah, I agree with your whitefont. I had a thought about Steve's "We don't trade lives." and how this also means in the context of the film "We don't make someone kill someone they love if we think there's even the remote chance of a different choice." which is so consistent with his character and I have to see it again (for the third time) to really articulate that.
