I like that inside the universe they don't that people will come back, that at this moment they're in shock and horror. It emphasizes that heroes are people and suffer loss and stand around looking horrified and gutted and helpless. Steve getting right up and being heroically encouraging would have been farcical.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Am I the only one who didn't really like Dinklage in this movie? We know from GoT he can't do accents, and that scene went on at least twice as long as it needed to.

OK, but how can the accent of the last remaining space dwarf be wrong, technically?

That's a totally fair point. How do we know the space forge ISN'T in New Jersey?

Holy CRAP. According to Joe Russo, Tom Holland [spoiler redacted]
Huh. That is awesome.
COMICS QUESTION! Because all the blending of the meta vs the impact in-story for the characters is making me want to find it because I do think it is relevant or at least interesting in the context of the discussion: does anyone remember if it was in Fear Itself where Bucky dies and a non-hero person has this whole ~thing~ about how angry it makes her that the superhero types always get to come back and, as I recall, regular Joes and Janes do not, and Natasha flips her shit and says that the possibility that the might come back doesn't actually make the whole part where they die easier? This is a shit summary, but you may get my gist.

What Connie said. After the initial slam of emotion, I was starting to feel like it was a cheat, but then I thought about the impact on the characters and I am all back in my feelings.

Precisely, Jessica. A lot of planets have a New Jersey, I'm sure.

Plei, I don't recall that from Fear Itself, but I didn't follow all the spin-off tangent titles from that. I do recall seeing a limited series featuring Natasha and Bucky's adventures together, so maybe it happened in that?

Side note! It's probably NOT worth getting an account so I can edit this incorrect correction about Salmon Arm, is it?
Salmon Arm, British Columbia is in fact NOT a coastal town but 800km inland, centred in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.
IT IS NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROCKIES. EVEN IF YOU GO BY THE NOT CORRECT ACCORDING TO CANADIAN GEOLOGISTS DEFINITION OF THE CANADIAN ROCKIES.
IT IS A FORTY-FIVE MINUTE DRIVE FROM MY MOTHER'S HOME VILLAGE.
Jesus Christ, people. You can't even get Canadian geography right in a fucking correction. (It's not a coastal town, though. Is on a lake? Still, not a coastal town.)
