Hoo boy. I'll try and recap where we are as of the end of the previous season, but I'll have to go back probably two seasons

The Flash is powered by the Speed Force, which takes on the appearance of Barry's dead mom, Nora (not to be confused with his future daughter, Nora, nor Mr. Freeze's suspended animation wife, Nora)

At some point Flash get's infected with Mega Depression and ends up killing the speed force out of grief. Or she sacrifices herself to save him. IDK

But it's a comic book show so they undo that somehow

But being dead makes the Speed Force (which is not just a force of nature as the name implies, but a persona with hopes and wants) kind of crazy and evil so it goes "bad"

At the same time, we are introduced to the Slow Force, Strength Force and Mind Force, who are all minor villains, similarly personified. At the end of that story line, those three forces team up with Flash against Speed Force to convince her to not be so drat evil.

Then, there was a 5-6 part crossover to open this latest season where Reverse Flash went back in time loving with Flash, making him go crazy, and eventually swapping lives/places with Barry. Iris did something, which de-powered Reverse Flash, but also gave her a vague Time Sickness, causing her to phase and in out of this dimension. Blah, blah, blah, it was actually caused by evil versions of the above forces, that split off from the good versions. They (the bad forces) combine their powers to re-power a recently de-powered Reverse Flash. Yadda yadda, the good forces Care Bear Stare Barry so he's "leveled up" and powerful enough to stop Reverse Flash once and for all.

Everyone having superspeed was the end of a prior season where Godspeed splits off into multiple copies, which group up into two warring factions because some McGuffin is going to grant someone Godhood. That's why all the guys in white jumpsuits are fighting each other. So there we get a team up of Flash, Jay Garrick, Excess (Future Daughter Nora), Impulse (Future Son Bart), Iris (who doesn't normally get superspeed, but it's happened at least twice), and Speed Force/Nora in the third clip. Oh and the long haired woman? She's a meta, who mimics the powers of other metas, but she doesn't know that yet.

Short answer, our good friend magic Speed Force

In TV cannon answer, Cisco/Vibe creates the suit and then in the last season or two devises the technology to stuff that suit into a ring, so it's always available.

IIRC, there is a season opener where Barry is spit out of a black hole, naked as a jay bird, so maybe it really is the speed force.

A good way to remember is that the video tag is for video watching sites like youtube and vimeo and some that are long dead, whereas if you have the url of the MP4 file itself, whether from imgur or gfycat or catbox or wherever, the default URL tags that automatically wrap around it are fine and will embed the video automagically

I'm working on an article about popular MCU theories from over the years that ended up going nowhere. I'm looking for some suggestions. Ones that come to mind:

- Agent Coulson will be brought back as Vision.
- Loki in Infinity War will play the same role as Mephisto in the Infinity Gauntlet comic.
- Captain Marvel is a Skrull.
- Mephisto is the main villain behind WandaVision.
- Reed Richards is Monica's engineer friend.

- Alexander Pierce is the Red Skull
- Everything is Mephisto
- The Soul Stone was going to be the meteor that hit Wakanda.
- The theory that the location of all the infinity stones spelled out T.H.A.N.O.S. (Tesseract, [a bunch of guesses that turned out wrong], Aether, Necklace, Orb, Staff)

Because it doesn't have to deal with an origin story, Thor: The Dark World is going to blow Thor out of the water

OK, seriously? The one I remember that was really goofy is:
Tony Stark will have to learn magic to to fix things however they're going to be fixed in Endgame, now that Strange is dead (because Strange sacrificed the Time Stone for Tony, that meant he had a critical role, and "better armor" wasn't the solution to anything)

It is a much better and more enjoyable film. There, I said it.

I remain baffled how much hate it gets for being merely a solid by the numbers superhero flick with a bunch of nice moments. I get it's not exceptional in any way, but it's not really actively bad in any way either.

If the movie had focused on Thor's relationship, it would have been a much better movie, but Jane Foster kept showing up.



(And no, I don't mean that in a slash way. Maybe Loki's absence was the reason why Love & Thunder was such a brick compared to Ragnarok.)

THANKS. That was for me!

I missed Tom and Chris' amazing chemistry. Can they have that pair in another movie, just shove Chris in the Night Manager season 2 or something?

Edit: btw, the only parts I enjoyed on Dark World, where all the scenes with Loki, Loki/Thor, and the few ones were they did some comedy. Rest was "meh" big time.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I think Love and Thunder mostly just had a harder time balancing the comedy of it’s Korg’s childrens story and the actual serious stuff and core story and weight. I’m not one of those who thinks any time an Avenger makes a quip it kills the seriousness of the movie but I do think Thor and the film were just a little too turned up on the comedy and it got silly at times. Ragnarok did a good job balancing the comedy and seriousness. Loki and Thor was at its peak at doing that. They could reduce each other to kids but also have a heart to heart. Love and Thunder just had a hard time finding that with Jane in large part because the silliness of Thor and the seriousness of Janes stuff were so far apart.

I am curious how it holds up on a rewatch when I know what to expect going in.

Recently rewatched the last half of it. It is a punishing dull movie that feels twice as long as it's run time with a villain thay doesn't speak and weirdly slammed together action scenes that doesn't really bother communicating a clear emotional thoroughline. It's stuff happens: the movie, and feels more like a really boring theme park ride you wanna get off than a fun superhero movie.
