I got confused with iron lad and young vision.

It was both, After Iron Lad left he left the suit, which then got a back-up copy of Vision installed and then he was just like, "I'm a person now!"

Except that one time they didn't get to play in the sandbox.

True, but they spent the whole episode talking about not wanting to do crossovers, and then thematically tying in anyway.

I hope that one day we get a BIG article about the writers room on that show, how it became what it is, and how they keep getting away with it, but we're probably gonna have to wait 20 years for a fan-funded documentary.

Imagine how the suit actor for Robotman in Doom Patrol feels.. he will never have screen time.. and he doesn't look like Brendan Fraser..

..and Brendan Fraser does Robotman's voice all the time and sometimes appears in his old Cliff Steel body in dream / mental sequences.

I've not seen an interview with Brendan Frasier talking about Doom Patrol where he doesn't give thanks and praise to Riley Shanahan, Fraser is VERY aware how lucky he is.

I dunno just seems like something she wouldn't be interested in

Maybe she has kids, or Grand kids that she wanted to do it for, maybe she likes the movies and wanted to work with Feige?

Maybe just for fun?

She's never really *needed* to work, not with the family business, but she seems to like working, so I could just see her being the "who am I to turn down a gig?" type too.

I was surprised to see her, too, I had to double check it was on IMDB.

Ghostbusters has crossed over with Transformers in the comics and the Transformers have crossed over with the Marvel universe.

In addition, thanks to CARTOON ALL STARS TO THE RESCUE don't do drugs kids, Ghostbusters has crossed over with pretty much every media property ever, including ones owned by Disney.

If we're counting comics, we can tap Star Trek, Doctor Who (Who was a 616 marvel character himself), Planet Of The Apes, X-Files, G.I.Joe, Avengers, Spider-Man, My Little Pony, Go-Bots, Micronauts, Rom, Action Man, TMNT and The Crow.

I'm probably forgetting a couple, but IDW really liked crossovers.

I wonder if they'll have Rhodey accidently ice a guy in a knock off suit like Tony did Titanium Man. It was pretty loving horrorific in the comic. (Accidently set him on fire when they were fighting over the ocean, and fun science fact, if ignited you can't put out a titanium fire by submerging it in water).

Wait... Why would they use actual Titanium? Tony doesn't use actual Iron does he?

So like do The Avengers exist in this timeline? SHIELD seems to only have Carol around. Surely they would've been deployed against the "alien invasion" if they were around, no? Like Endless Mike said, I can't figure when Ultron would be created in the first place.

It kinda has to be set during Iron Man, possibly during the time Tony is a hostage, because Tony Stark would not have missed partying with Party Thor, which means there would be no Avengers and as far as we know, no other Superheroes are active.

Near the end of episode 2, Kate is texting Clint a bunch of stuff, and one of them is "Don't pretend you're hanging out with your friends, we both know you don't have any."

It's a pitch perfect presentation of something that would fit in perfectly with Kate and Clint in the comics (and probably has happened at some point, I can't remember)...but unfortunately makes little sense for the show.

For one thing, show!Kate is not nearly so familiar with Clint to be talking at him this way. She's known him less than a day. She's a snarky zoomer, but her teasing of Clint has up to that point been more deferential than otherwise in a "trying to get him to open up and lighten up" kind of a way and not in a "lol loser, what's up slut?" way that makes more sense for their camaraderie in the comics.

Also like...Kate knows that Clint has wife and children that he is trying to get back to, for Christmas, literally right now. Yeah those are not friends, but it takes 100% of the zing out of her ribbing when his life is in fact crammed full of loved ones that he would be with at that moment if not for her. Even then, it'd also be incredibly strange for this version of Clint to not have family friends that he would invite over for the Holidays unless the Bartons are just, what, weird shut-ins that they've shown no sign of being.

It's a clear instance of the writers trying to square peg the comics' vibe into the round hole that they've set up in the series. Where the comics instance would make Kate out to be sharp and witty, this writing makes her seem kind of obtuse. Which I'm sure someone might claim is "the point," somehow, for some reason.

Show Kate is like a puppy desperate to get attention from Clint, the "You've got no friends" thing is just that, and coming off his closest friend dying in front of him, and the losses of Tony and Steve, it was a lovely thing to say, it's not like she doesn't know about that stuff.

My current theory is that the Rolex belongs to Jack and he's actually working undercover. He and Clint are just pretending not to know each other.

Yeah, I don't get it. The point was it was her subconscious loving with the magic. She could just randomly remember a Patsy commercial but why?

The adverts are based on her remembering that sort of advertisement on TV and her own history, so it's not a huge stretch to imagine something like "Next on a very special whatever Patsy Walker's show was called...", or some sort of Pizza Hut type "Dinner with the stars" type ad.

At least that's how I interpreted it.

CW's The Flash is ending with its next season. Don't know why they couldn't have done this for Legends too.

It's the Faustian pact.

You can have your weird funny TV show that seems to have been created to target you specifically, but you will NEVER get satisfying end.

That said, Legends ending like Monty Python's Holy Grail is perfect.

Regarding this week's SI: What the gently caress was the point of that plan? There isn't going to be a single Russian corpse on that battlefield, but it's going to be absolutely littered with Skrulls. Either the writing's about to reach a new pit of stupidity, or the entire false flag operation is completely blown and Fury's conspiracy theories have all been vindicated.
