It's not from anything Marvel-related but I think Douglas Adams inadvertently came up with the best explanation for their multiverse:Mostly Harmless posted:Very little of this is at all comprehensible to anyone below the level of Advanced God, and since it is now well-established that all known gods came into existence a good three millionths of a second after the Universe began rather than, as they usually claimed, the previous week, they already have a great deal of explaining to do as it is, and are therefore not available for comment on matters of deep physics at this time.

I still hope that's not the case, but this is Disney we are talking about.

Have they ever elaborated what powers Vision has from the mind stone and what his body normally has? Seems like flying and the beam are obviously because of the stone. But, was the Ultron able to phase? Seems unlikely. Is White Vision essentially just a very strong and very durable walking dude? Somewhat related: Why did the mind stone make Quicksilver super fast?

I'd say that the Vision body should be able to do anything that an early Iron Man armor could do, which includes flying and beams

Either they retconned it so it didn't or they haven't explained it yet. If they change it they might go with the "he already had a power and being exposed to the stone activated it." This could also explain adding mutants as someone else suggested.

Evil Fed dude mentioned being exposed to the source reactivating him, so he may just be getting residuals from the crazy mind stone power Wanda is putting out that let him perform stone related abilities. As for Quicksilver, my guess is maybe he was like Wanda in that he had a residual, untapped power that the stone super charged. Weird seems to run in her family.

Party Boat posted:The way this interacts with time travel is simply that universe designations follow stories. Following the time heist the MCU is now a different universe to one where they didn't time travel, but it's still Earth-199999 because that's the story we're following. The universes where the Avengers just gave up after failing to stop Thanos exist but have gone unnumbered because there's no story there. Perhaps I am misinterpreting this, but the MCU isn't "now a different universe", it's established that you can't change your history like Back to the Future. They borrowed the stones from a different universe, and that universe would quite likely have a different progression of history, at minimum because they lose their Thanos. That universe doesn't have an Infinity War and Endgame, while "our" MCU doesn't have Cap whispering "Hail Hydra" to Sitwell.

I know this isn't something you're saying, but there's nothing wrong with kids having cute kid crushes. Googly eyes, blushing, stuttering. Maybe even hand holding. 14 is perfect "first crush" age and it would be incredibly cute.There's this weird idea that kids being lgbt is like, inappropriate somehow and I hate it. Straight kids get plots like this all the time, Boy Meets World, Malcolm in the Middle with Cynthia, the boy next door on Sister, Sister who had a crush on the sisters when he was like 12, Six had a crush on Joey in Blossom, etc. Come on, Disney, it's time to tell kids it's ok to be gay. Do iiiiiiiiit

It's a shame the CCP would censor outright gayness (or would they?) because there's a huge market for it in China. They toned it down for the tv series but The Untamed on Netflix (or the better Chinese name: Founder of Diabloism) is a wildly popular and super gay series of books.

It’s not been established who is president in the current MCU. We know Obama was a one term president and replaced with Ellis. I’m guessing at some point someone is going to reference Trump, which would mean he followed Ellis and was another one term president as well. Seems like something which might be addressed in Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

rivetz posted:If Wanda's Vision has Vision's soul but is lacking his true body, and White Vision has Vision's actual body but no real soul (?), maybe she just hot-swap or combine em somehow. This seems totally obvious in hindsight but it's only just now occurring to me as an easy way to get Vision back onto the team for good. The whole theme this show has been revolving around is 'how do you deal with grief?' If it turns out the show's answer is 'just bring your loved one back to life!' that will suck immensely.

The United States posted:My favorite part was when they had the DARKHOLD of DARKNESS: THE DARKENING, a magic book where reading it makes you evil and insane, and they had the bright idea to have a robot read it because it couldn't possibly work on a robot, and then that robot turned evil and insane. I loved that season, the actress who played Aida was so good. In fact AoS S4, taken on its own, might be my favorite MCU thing to date.

live with fruit posted:Hasn't it been announced that Young Avengers is going to be a show, or is that just speculation? Pure speculation. There are no big Avengers projects announced, the X-Men and Fantastic Four are still huge question marks, and while they have plenty of characters to slap together an Avengers project for (Falcon, Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, Ant-Man) including new blood (Shang-Chi, Eternals, She-Hulk) the fact that no such project has been announced is curious. There's also no clear "goal" like the first Avengers movie or the Infinity Stones being worked toward. All we know is "Multiverse, Young Heroes, Disney+, Mutants and FF eventually." Then you correlate that with all the younger heroes-- most of whom are deliberate legacy heroes (Kate Bishop, Ms. Marvel, Ironheart, Wiccan/Speed, Stature), and it's a reasonable guess that if they were building for a Young Avengers event movie way down the road, that's the starting block to work from.

For some reason I expect either Eternals, Thor 4, or GotG 3 to have a small Galactus reference.

I read an article yesterday that interviewed the director of the final episode. They said that people are going to be disappointed by the ending based on current fan theories. To me that means they are not ready to do a big mutant reveal. I think hiring Evan Peters is just a tease of how phase 4 will end, a little foreshadowing.

Feige did say that there would be more smaller threats, that's why I'm saying that Young Avengers seems more plausible as speculation. If all the Disney+ shows take and the actors are all playing ball, suddenly it's a layup to do a "Young Avengers" Disney+ show or movie in 2024-5 to pad out the portfolio.

An MCU with a Vision in it who still cares for Wanda but is not with her and repulsed by her actions and a Wanda who is finally grieving her loss of Vision rather than denying it with tricks and is remorseful for her abuse of a whole town is an MCU with interesting storytelling opportunities that use two genuinely good actors.

There's also theories that he's Mephisto or Nightmare or whoever the big bad is so it could be a misdirect. It's also possible that he's playing a Quicksilver if not exactly the Quicksilver from the Fox movies. It sounds like Foxx and Molina are playing versions of their S-M characters but not the actual guys. live with fruit fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Mar 3, 2021 |

Agnes says "he's my crystalline creation" something to that effect. My take was she created a body and Wanda pulled the real pietro into that shell. A quicksilver golem, of sorts. I believe his line about "I died and then I heard you calling me" as truthful. Why knows, I assume I'm wrong.

I think that, seeing as we know Scarlet Witch will be in Dr Strange, but have heard nothing of Bettany being present in it and thus no Vision, that this is gonna end with a similar arc to Vision's reaction to some of comic book scarlet witch's trauma bullshit: Him saying he loves her, but he can't be close to her because shes hurt too many people, and that he needs time to think. It's too bad this series already took a lot from the Vision run about his synthoid family and its dysfunctional attempts to exist.
