IJWTS I am here for Disney Robin Hood Asgard
And I am grateful for being told that was
Frog Thor because I couldn't see who that was on my little screen, just that there was motion.
I had it in my head that the
smoke monster would somehow be disappointing because Lost,

I also enjoyed Black Widow. I’d have enjoyed it more after Civil War, but what can you do?
I just saw Classic Loki described as Old Man Yells at Cloud and I’m ded
