I don't think I've seen it mentioned yet, but Agnes is being telegraphed as Agatha Harkness. Abbreviation of her name, appears in a witch costume in one of the trailers, and Auntie A's Kitty Litter appears in the animated opening.

Big Mean Jerk posted:I highly doubt this’ll end with Wanda as a Phase 4 villain since a) she’s clearly constructed this false reality as a response to her own recent traumas and b) there’s probably something/someone else influencing her and taking advantage of those traumas for some yet-to-be-revealed purpose. You don't necessarily have to turn her into a big, permanent villain. She started out as a minor villain in Age of Ultron and Bucky went from a primary antagonist as the Winter Soldier to an unstable weapon that needed mental reconditioning to finally becoming a full hero now. There's no reason Wanda can't be so unstable that she briefly becomes "villainous" before people are finally able to get to her and reverse her course before she's irredeemable.

Mooseontheloose posted:Honestly, the writers should of basically kept it to all sentient life because "half of all life of all species" seems like the ecological devastation is too much. Also, i think they could of explored a little bit that Thanos didn't put himself in the random genocide because he clearly used the stones to survive. I KNOW why he had to from a narrative stand point but it would of been an interesting way to end his quest. I'm pretty sure you're meant to recognize that Thanos was wrong and didn't think past "balance". Like, yes, he caused untold ecological and social devastation. That's the point. That's why he's the villain that they're going so far as to invent time travel to stop.

Everyone posted:It's odd about Sharon Carter, but it's possible that she was too deeply involved in her illegal stuff to come back until Sam and Bucky arranged for her to get re-instated in F/WS. The implication I got from that was that Sharon was simply not as important as an Avenger to just be given a blanket pardon, and all of the Avengers completely forgot about her as they dealt with the Blip and time travel. They could have used their influence, but they never did. By the time Sam and Bucky even remembered she existed, she had already become the Power Broker.

Yeah, the actual appearance of Kamala is important. She visibly looks average and behaves like a dorky cosplayer. I love Kate Bishop but she’s basically a sculpted acrobat like most other heroes. Based on this trailer, Kamala Khan seems to be a legit normal person falling into this.

Bust Rodd posted:Their relationship in that movie just makes no loving sense at all. Do any of you have a pair of straight friends, male and female, who spend every day hanging out together, work together… live together (or he sleeps at her place a lot) but aren’t a couple AND don’t have separate partners? Yeah, the rest of us have normal relationships with other humans.

Bust Rodd posted:You don’t have to be a weird rear end in a top hat and imply I don’t have friends because we’re talking about comic book movies. I don’t think the relationship presented in the film is of a normal friendship, it seems codependent and maybe even unhealthy, because Shang Chi doesn’t appear to have a life or any kind of social network outside of her. The whole movie is just pushing them together over and over and over with no payoff, so it feels more like a rewrite to me than anything else. You're doing a really bad job of implying that you know how normal human relationships work.

I’m not doing anything wrong your all just dogpiling me because you see my name and just unfocus your eyes or something.

A girl I watch who does reaction videos had a good theory on what happened with the fish: Marc's escapades to get the scarab and get back to London accidentally killed Gus and he bought a replacement goldfish hoping Steven wouldn't notice when he woke up.

Rarity posted:I'm rewatching Ant-Man and the Wasp for the first time since it was in cinemas and I feel like it really got short-shrift for coming out right after Infinity War but watching it away from the impact of the cliffhanger and it's a very fun summer romp with a fantastic lead, one of Marvel's better villains and a great supporting cast. And now we've had Wandavision seeing Jimmy Woo makes me very happy. I really hope Ghost shows up again some time and gets a chance at redemption The kitchen fight with Wasp is one of my favorites. The MCU is usually really good at creative choreography that uses characters' powers in interesting ways. One of the advantages of letting the professional stunt and VFX teams choreograph and pre-vis everything before you end up on set is that they tend to be much better at it.

A lot of the fan reaction I've seen away from goons has been loving Steven because he's clearly a very nice, smart guy who's struggling immensely with what he thinks is just insomnia and sleepwalking but is actually being bodyjacked by a merc and Egyptian god. He can barely even get to work without falling asleep on the bus and is losing whole days of time from his mind. If he wasn't having the Moon Knight problems he'd probably be in much better shape and more successful. I'm interested to see how much of Steven is actually him being the "real body". Is he a guy with a true history from birth to now who's just having the soul of Marc Spector put into him through reincarnation bullshit, or is his whole believed life a lie and he's just calling a nonexistent number to leave his "mum" voicemails every day?

FlamingLiberal posted:Possibly? Although we see the scales tattoo just kind of freak out so maybe its powers don't work on him? I think the more simple explanation is correct. According to Arthur, Ammit is judging people based on whether they'd commit evil even in the future. The body is inhabited by a very kind and awkward man and an amoral mercenary who will kill everyone around him if necessary. He doesn't have one soul to judge. There's an interesting bit of Egyptian hieroglyphics relevant to this:  The logo for the show is surrounded by a cartouche, which was used to enclose royal names. It was one of the ways the Rosetta Stone could be used to translate them, by identifying proper names in the other languages on the stone. A line is placed on the end of the cartouche to indicate the direction you're meant to read the text in. The logo is a cartouche with lines on both ends.

Viscous Soda posted:Counterpoint: Part of your pay was in beer, about a gallons worth IIRC. Some living history reenactors have guessed that the daily ration was probably extremely low in alcohol, essentially like kvass, and the alcoholic beer was saved for downtime. When you talk about whether or not the builders were "enslaved", something you have to also keep in mind is that Egypt didn't really have a modern economy and currency like we do today. You got paid in goods and food, and the labor was essentially equivalent to your taxes.

That's a common myth. People in the past weren't stupid and they knew how to dig wells and keep drinking water clean. Alcohol was preferred because it had taste and alcohol in it. There's even an account of a medieval siege where the nobility stuck inside were whining that they had to drink plain water. Also, someone posted this comment on a video and I need to check to see. Apparently the postcards Steven gets from his "mum" are the ones sold at the museum? If so, this guy's theory is that Marc has been imitating his mom when he takes over the body and writing the postcards to himself.

It's currently theorized that Marc or Jake has been trying to help Steven's life out by making him more outgoing and faking postcards from his mother, only to see them backfire when he doesn't remember the context of anything.

mutata posted:I think Steven's arc isn't going to be resolved via fighting prowess, and I didn't think him getting a bit awkward and cringe with some cockiness when he suddenly realizes he has some power was out of character for someone who is generally used to being walked all over in regular life. He's DEFINITELY not someone who is going to make the most logical decisions, especially under duress, so I think it's kind of weird to criticize the character for trying to fight a ghost jackal despite being out of his element. He also desperately wants to impress Layla. Also, he DID ultimately fail and give up. I have no experience, knowledge, or connection to Moon Knight other than this show, and the last 2 episodes have been great as far as I'm concerned. It's unrealistic and bad writing for characters to ever make decisions that aren't 100% logical and perfect at all times, especially if they have emotions making them imperfect.

Eiba posted:In stark contrast the puzzle that they solve by taping together pieces of thousands of year old cloth. [iThat[/i] was incredibly dumb and terrible looking and makes no sense. Like, if you want to nitpick about things that were strikingly bad and took you out of the moment, that dumb tape puzzle was right there. That material actually probably would have survived the tape and folding job they were doing as long as they were careful enough. We have massive amounts of papyrus that was stored for just as long and remains intact enough to read.

Test Pattern posted:I'm probably wrong, but I suspect we saw Jake on-screen this episode, while they're driving from the rich guy's place to the desert. It didn't sound like either Marc or Steven's accent, and he was acting just a bit different. I wonder if Jake has a different suit than the other two. I rewatched it and you're absolutely right. He's slipping into a sort of New York accent when telling Layla that Harrow is trying to get in her head and is doing a lot of talking with his hands. In the boat trip with Layla earlier, he's completely still. Oscar Isaac's a good enough actor that if his behavior is suddenly changing from normal Marc, there's probably a reason. I still sometimes forget it's him as Steven, especially with the Mr. Knight suit on.
