The end of Far from Home shows that Marvel does have some awareness of beloved elements from prior movies by other studios. Maybe we'll get a bloodbath scene set to "Confusion" as a nod to the original?
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

I want to point out that I (who was not in this thread, 'cuz I hadn't seen Far from Home yet) texted Atropa with full ASSCAPS FLAIL the moment I saw the news (basically right after it was announced) and our text thread was pretty much this, only extended and with more HOLY SHIT!!!!s.

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.
I'm curious if they're going to leave Blade as his own thing or if they're just going to say "Surprise, there were vampires all along!"

Certainly I don't think there could be a secret conspiracy between vampires and the government of the US/other nations co-existing with SHIELD, HYDRA, and such without the latter having had any inkling of it til now. If Blade is in the regular MCU, vampires will have to be much less organized and much better at covering up their activities without the aid of authorities looking the other way.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Haven't seen tonight's SHIELD, but my prediction for the last two episodes:

So how many of you caught the rap battle between Jemaine Clement and Jason Mantzoukais?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Where was that? I MUST see it immediately.

Monday night's Legion, (Season 3, Episode 6).
It was glorious, although very disorienting, and that's from someone who is caught up with the show.

The season 2 premiere presented a telepathic combat as a multi-person crew dance-off, and the season 2 finale featured another one as a musical duet with mixed live action/traditionally animated cartoon graphics. So it's really just keeping the tradition alive.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, that will get me to watch Legion again
(It's not that I don't like it, it just takes actual attention to watch and I haven't been up for that lately)
Apropos of nothing: it just hit me recently that if Steve took the long way back to give Sam the shield he has to go through losing Peggy again. And I kinda wonder if Old!Steve got Snapped (or Blinked or whatever). If it's half of all life forms that did, that would kind of make sense....
