Gaz-L posted:It does seem kind of weird that all the focus from the SWORD crew is on Wanda. You'd think the 'good' crew (Monica, Jimmy and Darcy) would consider seeing if they can contact Vision, seeing as even in the edited version, they've seen him pushing back against Wanda's wishes. I thought it seemed like they did via that email? ONE YEAR LATER posted:When it comes to time travel I just assume the timeline they're focusing on is the "real" one. No one cares what happened to Marty's original timeline or what happened to the bad 1985 timeline because the narrative focus is from Marty's perspective so that's the correct one. In the 1985A timeline, real estate/casino mogul Biff Tannen eventually went in hard on being a Twitter rear end, culminating in getting himself elected President in 2016.

Thoughts while catching up with thread:swickles posted:Yeah one thing to keep in mind is the timing of all this. This isn't two years later, this is literally weeks after Wanda came unsnapped and the events of Endgame. To her the events of Infinity War including Vision's death are still fresh. He did have a good point was he implying that Woo and Darcy were also snapped? Woo surely wasn't snapped, since he had time to perfect close-up magic in the interim since we last saw him. Gaz-L posted:It's been a while since I watched it, but... does Wanda actually know Pietro died saving Hawkeye and a Sokovian kid? She just kind of 'sensed' he was dead via her powers/twin magic, right? In the moment, yeah, but come on - Hawkeye would have told her what happened, especially since he was the one essentially accompanying Pietro's corpse onto the helicarrier. stev posted:More the song than the credits themselves. It's like they heard precisely one song from a Nickelodeon ad in the early 2000s and thought "yes we can do that". Uh, the songwriters are extremely accomplished to say the least - this is a very silly take.

Ouhei posted:I agree, if there's only 3 episodes left then this week is where you have to start setting up the ending. Maybe we don't get a full on villain reveal, but we need to start getting hints at the bigger picture here soon. 9 episodes total, so far following a standard three-act pattern with each act consisting of three episodes. 1-3: nearly pure sitcom setup, strong hints at the underlying reality. 4-6: showing us the underlying reality, the sitcom world starting to seriously crumble, and setting things up for 7-9: reveal and resolution.

tsob posted:If they didn't have enough time to do so originally I don't see why they wouldn't have simply changed the release date and made sure it had a satisfactory conclusion of it's own, even if it left some open ties to forthcoming works rather than just being a hard cut. There was nothing significant about the release day of WandaVision or anything, and it wasn't even originally intended as the first Disney+ Marvel show, so there's no reason they wouldn't have been comfortable delaying it by a few months and making Falcon & Winter Soldier the first show again. I forget - were all three of the shows originally supposed to come out before Dr. Strange 2? Seems like they may have wanted to set up Wandavision, Loki, and Falcon/Bucky (henceforth "Fucky") as leading into the Phase 4 movies just as the original solo films then lead directly into Avengers.

Bucswabe posted:...Also, on a completely unrelated note, something that has been bothering me is Vision's super speed in the hex. He's used it multiple times in the sitcom sequences, but I don't remember that ever being one of his established abilities. It wasn't, and from the first episode when he did it I thought it was an indication that Wanda was conflating her grief over him with that over her brother, and that Pietro was probably going to show up at some point.

Lammasu posted:Until this episode I never really realized how traumatized Wanda is. She had to kill the love of her life to save the universe, then had him resurrected and killed in front of her. I'd always thought, and someone else posted it as well so I know it's not just me, that she looked the tiniest bit relieved while she was being Snapped.

Barry Convex posted:not a huge nitpick, but how exactly did Darcy know the details about how Vision died, given that no one is present in that scene in Infinity War besides Wanda, Vision, and Thanos? I guess Wanda was just debriefed by SWORD at some point in the window between Endgame and her stealing Vision's corpse? This question keeps coming up, and for pete's sake, people, the survivors of the battle in Wakanda would have briefed what remained of the world's governments at some point. There was probably a Kennedy Assassination/9-11 style commission to generate a complete reporting. enki42 posted:Is the hex not being created by Agatha solidly confirmed? All we have is her changing into her 50's outfit in a scene where the hex had already been created, but there's nothing to say that's actually her first interaction with the town, the hex, or Wanda. My favorite of the theories, given Agnes/Agatha's extreme interest when the twins asked Wanda to bring the dog back to life, is that Agatha wants to get Wanda to bring someone back for her. Likely who/whatever "Ralph" is.

Gavok posted:It was said that they had to put a gesture behind the use of the Stones for the sake of not making Thanos TOO overpowered. Every time he uses the Gauntlet before having the full set, he activates the Stones by clenching his fist. During the fight on Titan, you can see him unable to use his powers when his hand is forced open. If all he needed was his thoughts, then the fight would have been extra pointless. That aside, it's easily justified in-universe, since at least one of the stones has a bad habit of quickly exploding the person who holds it barehanded. The Gauntlet works that way because it's explicitly something Thanos designed to help him safely (relatively) channel and use the power of not just that one explodey stone but another five along with it. The need to bring them together to do big things is a safeguard! Everyone posted:Sure, but probably not to the extent that the did SHIELD because SWORD, pre-Thanos was mostly focused on non-Earth stuff which wouldn't be of much use in terms of ruling Earth. I'm thinking differently now, because we're all approaching SWORD in the MCU based on very little info. Before the show we just assumed Fury and his Skrull buddies were involved with it. Now we know more, and that it does do space stuff to at least a degree, but to me the changed name and the role it's playing here heavily imply that it's an organization that is designed to deal with metahumans as threats. It was apparently founded by someone just after they found out their old friend had been imbued with phenomenal cosmic power - maybe Maria Rambeau was a little worried about Carol's abilities as much as the attention they'd draw to Earth. Hence, Sentient Weapon Observation & Response.

tsob posted:I like the confused but contemplative look on Bucky's face when Sam points out that Sorcerers are just wizards. I don't know what the plot will be like in this show, but I'm pretty sure their chemistry will keep me tuning in week to week regardless. Agreed - they played off each other well in Civil War, and I'm here for more of that. I do still think that we should all shorten "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" to "Fucky," though.

howe_sam posted:I always thought Bucky got his ersatz super soldier serum when he was Zola's prisoner during WW2, and that's how he survived the fall. Yeah, that's my thought too. Him "falling into the ice" in the same way Cap would shortly after, and surviving, seems like a good clue pointing to this.

^^^ (edit: to Jedit) nope, definitely U-X-Men and U-Spidey by a couple of years. UFF was really good, though (in my memory; I haven't reread it in a very long time now).mastajake posted:I loved the early years of the Ultimate universe, including The Ultimates. Most of the characters in The Ultimates are lovely though (but there is something to be said about Ultimate Cap being a more realistic portrayal of what would happen if you made a regular soldier from the '40s into a god and then put him in the modern world). Especially in the GWB years.

Azhais posted:They did call it out as Stark tech in this episode, so it's probably as close to the original as spider man's civil war suit was to his sweatpants Dragging from way back, but people seem to be forgetting that Sam's wings got blown to poo poo in the climax of Winter Soldier, so this is exactly right. howe_sam posted:He doesn't seem particularly interested in making blockbusters, the most successful live action film he's been in was Baby Driver. Though I am surprised Rudd hasn't dragged him into the Ant-Man franchise yet. I still want to eventually see Jon Hamm relent this stance in order to be Old Superman when they eventually adapt Kingdom Come.

The_Doctor posted:Keaton throws a joker goon down the middle of the stair tower at the end of 89, and it’d be a drat miracle if he survived that. Not to mention driving through a chemical factory guns-a-blazin' and then blowing the whole thing up. It would be a miracle if no one was killed there.

Golden Bee posted:I don’t know if it counts, because the story of the MCU always seems to start with Iron Man. Which preceded The Incredible Hulk! It absolutely counts, even if it was really only ever referred back to in one single line. Timby posted:and they do have an unfortunate tendency to devote a decent chunk of their runtime to saying, "By the way, don't forget to check out the next Marvel Studios film, coming to a theater near you in six months!" I can't think of a single one that did this other than Age of Ultron (which, per the discussion above, would improve greatly if you just cut out the Thor's Vision Quest stuff, which is definitely guilty of what you're saying). Which other ones do you think devoted anything more than a quick flash to future movies?

Firebert posted:Did I miss something about GotG Vol. 3 not following up on their post-credit scene from 2? Seems like that's where they were heading. I think there was a tweet from Gunn at some point saying that was just a throw-in and wasn't the direction he was planning on taking Vol. 3. But who knows.
