Shir, I love your angle, and while I wish there had been more of that, I also recognize that it probably wouldn't work in a superhero movie. Fingers crossed for some excellent fanfic addressing it!! Because fanfic can TOO be scholarly, so there.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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.
Apparently the people involved with Far From Home have been saying that that movie will deal with some of the fallout from Endgame, including the "snapped back 5 years later" thing.

Well, Laura Harrier, who played Liz in Spider-Man: Homecoming, was 26 when she made that movie, and now is 29. I wonder if she'll make a (brief) appearance in Far From Home.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I have a partially serious theory that the only reason Endgame jumped forward 5 years was to get Scott's daughter Cassie old enough (or close) to join the entirely hypothetical (I don't remember reading any spoilers about this) Young Avengers.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
y'know, a while ago I had been reading about Brexit, came here and people were talking about "May" ... I was trying to figure out what Theresa May had to do with Spiderman ....

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have not had a chance to rewatch Endgame yet because I forgot I already had plans on Monday, and ltc gets out too early on Wednesday. I thought I was out of luck because the 10AM shows are disappearing tomorrow, but TCG is picking up ltc after school tomorrow. So, as long as I bring him the carseat first, I'm going to go see it again tomorrow. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie twice in the theater. I also can't remember the last time I saw a movie by myself.

I am at the theater! I'm looking forward to seeing it without the anxiety of worrying about what is going to happen to everyone. As of right now, I'm the only one here.

Yeah, I really need to do a rewatch without spending the whole time thinking Steve was going to die.

Dammit, Agents of SHIELD is airing at 7 in my time zone. That's when I get off work. It better go up on streaming pretty fast. I'm looking forward to what they're doing with Clark Gregg.
