Matt, I take your point in regard to the Mind and Reality Stones, and I can see what you're saying as far as the Soul Stone having some kind of value judgment, but I still feel it was jarring in the execution of that judgment. The Mind Stone was essentially a passive stone until it was merged with JARVIS and planted in Vision's body, the Aether...I don't really remember Thor 2, you got me beat on that one. It just felt like "We wanna kill somebody, probably Gamora, let's arbitrarily make the Soul Stone demand a sacrificial tribute to show worthiness."
Strong like an Amazon.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
In the first Avengers movie there's a scene where the Mind Stone is revealed to be screwing with their heads. It's not clear whether it's at Loki's bidding (though I don't think we've ever seen an Infinity Stone be under the control of anyone not directly possessing it) or some latent effect of being in proximity to the stone or the Mind Stone itself choosing to exert its influence.

Tangentially related, just saw the new Spider-Man trailer, and...
"Bitch, please; you've been to space." made me snort gyro through my nose at work.

Huh. I had no idea TH was a Brit.
His first gig was playing Billy Elliot on stage. He was originally a dancer - which I think you can see in the way he moves. Perfect for Spidey.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Everyone has seen Tom Holland lip-syncing "Umbrella", right? I'm not even going to link it, because I'm so sure that everyone has seen this.

brillig
Spidey and Fury has the potential to be a great team-up. He's going to measure everyone against Tony now, and Fury is not going to appreciate that. Peter has a maestro of snark to use as a model, and he's not lacking in snark himself.

Kalshane, yeah...they never really do get into the specifics of how the Stones work as a whole or individually. I don't know why the Soul in particular is so weirdly jarring to me.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That Umbrella performance is to die for.

I still think we should have an MCU musical with big dance numbers, damn it!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I still think we should have an MCU musical with big dance numbers, damn it!
And it should be written by Dave Malloy, Rachel Bloom, and Lin Manuel Miranda.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If they have enough episodes, surely they'll get there.
And surely Chris Evans wouldn't be able to resist putting on the suit one. last. time!
