Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Does phase four have Captain Marvel? Because I'll go to anything she's in.

She's actually going to be the linchpin of Phase 4. In Feige's words she's the Iron Man of the next phase, touching on all the other characters.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Hmm. I guess I can see why Spider-Man couldn't be what with all the recent drama with Sony, but I still think of him as the heart and soul of the Marvel Universe moving forward.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Damn it, Jared Leto annoys the shit out of me, but I actually think that the Morbius movie looks good, based on the trailer: [link]

A theory: Cap's To-Do List in Winter Soldier is actually a plot outline for everything that happens to him in the film.

  • Moon Landing: Cap descends down underneath S.H.I.E.L.D., where there are spaceships
  • Berlin Wall (up + down): S.H.I.E.L.D. splits in two and falls
  • Steve Jobs (Apple): Cap and Nat go to an Apple store
  • Star Wars: Hydra attempts to blow up the planet. (They actually say "fire at will", like Grand Moff Tarkin).
  • Rocky: Cap has an epic beat-down with Bucky, which ends in a draw.
  • Troubleman: Cap finally listens to it and the end of the film.

I'm still not sure how I Love Lucy, Disco, and Thai food fit in, though.

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.

That's pretty cool.

Star Wars: Cobra attempts to blow up the planet. (They actually say "fire at will", like Grand Moff Tarkin).

That would be an interesting cross-over.

Hey. New board.

I Love Lucy,

That whole opening scene has a bit of a screwball vibe...

I am so loving this season of SHIELD so far. (It's also cool to see the actors in period garb -- I am also shallow.)

Lola lives!

Spoilers above!

How does it end? With 6 characters sitting in chairs in a circle.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I may have liked this season the best. OK, except for the Kora character, who might as well have been labelled Dawn 2.0
