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

It just occurred to me, I don't know that anyone has addressed The Most Important Question:

Did Howard the Duck stay on Earth, or did he go back to Knowhere?

And surely Chris Evans wouldn't be able to resist putting on the suit one. last. time!

Right? Give him an excuse to break out those tap shoes! (Curse you for the earworm!)

When we last saw Howard, he was partying with the Ravagers on planet Contraxia. Since there were Ravagers during the big battle scene, too, presumably Howard left with them.

I mean, he is in the big battle, so...

Where was he?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm looking forward to watching Tom Holland's Peter Parker grow up.

Rewatching the FFH trailer Nick's starting to look a little soft around the middle. Or maybe it's just a bad angle (she added quickly, because there are eyes and ears everywhere)

As far as Spidey I think Mysterio is full of shit. He's a villain who uses illusion, deception is his nature.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I didn't notice Howard the Duck, either. But now that I know where to look, I'll keep an eye out the next time I see Endgame.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

So, you guys. I have a really weird angle coming to discuss this movie. Really weird one.

In case you missed this: I work in the National Library's archives department. about ~30% of my time in the past 6 months was dedicated to process and catalog archives of intellectual historians of the Holocaust, some are/were survivors. So my mind really goes to the "something terrible happened to mankind. How do we process this? Is/was this inevitable? What does it say about humanity? On individuals? On randomness, grief and loss? What happens to the society in the aftermath?". I know six different ways of answering these question, and I kept thinking how what I know about dealing intellectually and historically with a catastrophe aligns with this movie (spoiler alert: it doesn't, but I've only watched this once and was unprepared to the places my mind took me, so maybe it's more nuanced than that and I just couldn't process all of it.) I keep coming back to the question of what can go wrong when trying to fight a fate, especially with time travel, moreso with a less than a careful use in that tool.

I think I need to watch it again.
