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.
Tom, Thor's decision to avoid dealing by becoming essentially a basement dwelling video gamer complaining about the wi-fi was one I totally could see myself doing in his shoes, though. His land of not coping and mine have a lot in common. (I felt like the jokes in Spider-Verse were actually a little worse in terms of the fat jokes aspect, where the ones in Endgame were pretty much just Rocket's.)
Also, Cap put damn near everything back in time where it came from, really, didn't he? I don't know why I'm being vague in the whitefont, but I'm being vague in the whitefont.
I actually didn't feel it was played for big laughs. I think it was realistic. He could not fucking deal and man could I identify.
I was really happy that they didn't have anyone urge him to start training or have him get anywhere back into shape.
In fact, most people didn't mention it at all.
So my question is/questions are: when did Cap go back to to meet up with Peggy? The 40s? As the music suggests. Or 1970 when he knows where she is? And since another Cap exists in that timeline does he go by an alias and no one recognizes him??
I'm trying to wrap my head around if Steve was Peggy Carter's husband, and the father of her children the whole time. Did we ever get to see who Peggy's husband was ?
Tom, EXACTLY!! I Do Not Know!!!!
But then why the HELL would Steve not warn Peggy that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been infiltrated by Hydra?
It's possible that he created an alternate timeline and just asked someone in that timeline for a favor to get him back to the timeline they were in. Nebula's killing of her past self didn't get rid of her present self and they had their own weird timey-wimey explanations of what does and does not work.
I was thinking once he went back there are 2 Steves in a timeline until the moment Cap zaps back to the past and that's when the two timelines reconnect and only one Steve is left. So either modern Cap gone back says nothing of what he knows and let's things just play out, or the now that we see at then end is going to be slightly changed?!?! Time travel stuff makes my head hurt. I want a Russo Brother answer on this. Nice cameo by one them in the support group, right? Was the other one anywhere, I did not catch it.
I did the "Hulk eating lunch" pee break and made it to the end (difficulty level: third trimester). We were debating whether to tell people there's no post-credits.
So, apart from the obvious three, who else is all done with the franchise? We're clearly getting more Thor, what about Hulk? And Hawkeye?
Also, I eagerly await the fics about coping with half the population being 5 years out of sync with the other half.
On the time travel, it seems like Cap is a closed-loop (took the long way around in the same timeline), but Nebula, Gamora, and Thanos created an open-loop (new timeline due to being dead/in the future).
So Hawkeye is getting the TV series no one asked for but apparently, we get? IDEK there. Which means Renner's not done quite yet.

Well done! Damn!
