I think they've gone back and forth as to if it was Jim who killed Hitler, or Bucky. Bucky definitely claimed to have done it at one point.

It was just one line in Bendis' Avengers. I don't think it's ever really been followed up on. Hammod killing Hitler has been referenced multiple times.

Edit


Edit: yeah, according to Tom Brevoort Bucky was just joking.

I mean it's Marvel comics, there are probably plenty of Hitlers that need killing.

He had the infinity gauntlet and the plan in his head before he started. What makes you think his first stop in that new universe with Peggy wasn't killing Thanos before he could become a threat?

E: I know he couldn't use the gauntlet itself without turning into a crispy critter like Tony, but humans can use the time stone just fine, and that's all you would really need to just smother baby Thanos in his crib.

I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.
They said you can't change the future because it's already happened (it's your past). Old Cap was already Peggy's husband so he wasn't changing anything by going back in time and marrying her. It's weird cyclical logic that implies almost a level of destiny but it's what we got.
Now Loki changes the past by escaping but he gets picked up by the TVA and called a Variant. So it seems like Cap changing a bunch of poo poo would get the same treatment.

I know everyone says "not my Steve Rogers" but now that we know Bucky talked to Cap about his trip maybe he convinced him not to try and save him. Also Cap knows better than to gently caress with the stones on his way to returning them, you guys are thinking of Tony.

Yeah I absolutely think Bucky, being a pretty pragmatic dude who is a little addicted to his own suffering, would look at how narrowly they were able to achieve victory over Thanos and tell Steve "I'm about to ask you for the hardest favor you'll ever have to give a friend, but I need you to not go after me when you get back to the old days. We'll need every tool in the box for when Thanos comes, and I don't know what happens if you change things. I won't hold it against you. Just live the life you've earned."

I always assumed the timeline Steve retired too was the same one the Thanos they fought and killed in Endgame left, given his main mission was to return the stones and Thor's Hammer to that timeline. As long as he allows the Time Heist to play out how it did, he doesn't have to worry about Thanos. That said, it does limit what he could do before the Heist.

Jessica Drew is 100% owned by Marvel/Disney. She just has a super complicated backstory and has a power set of poo poo other people in the MCU already do and creepy pheremone poo poo that isn't very televisual and is kinda rapey.

Normally you wouldn't cast Emilia Clarke for what feels like it must be a one season TV show appearance but she may not necessarily want to do more than that, so who knows.

Yeah Sony wouldn't just have the rights to her because of the Spider name. She has nothing to do with him.

The complication with her is that Sony definitely would have Ultimate Jessica Drew though.

I feel like if Marvel wants to use her Sony would agree for some minor exchange back and just change the name if they ever decide to do a female Spider-Man clone story.

Ehh, I think it's just they had no loving clue what to do after they couldn't crib from GRR Martin's notes.

Has she done anything (and I kinda hate this term but it's useful) "non-genre" her big movie was the third or fourth terrible Terminator sequal.

I only have excellent ideas
I kind of hate the term too because I never know what genres specifically fall under the umbrella of "genre" in this sense, but she was in a pretty popular holiday romcom, Last Christmas, at the very end of 2019.

It looks like post-GoT she has mostly been focusing on sort of.... mid-lockdown theatre? She was in a Zoom performance of Noel Coward's Private Lives in 2020 and was set to be in a fairly high-profile The Seagull in London just before COVID really came rampaging in.

I forgot about that one.

Generally "genre" films are sci-fi/fantasy that's more popular with men than women. Like Last Christmas has a ghost as a main character, but I wouldn't call it a genre film, I'd call it a romance (was it a comedy? I didn't actually see it, going off plot descriptions)

Yeah, it just bugs me that something as broadly taxonomical as "genre" is weirdly gendered in that way, but I guess people generally know what it conveys as a short-hand. It was a comedy but not a super duper funny one. It's one of those movies with a pretty unfunny script that is occasionally elevated by talented character actors (Rob Delaney and Patti Lupone are both good in it).

The other reason I don't call it a rom-com is based on the description no one tried to ruin someone else's life.

I assume Clarke's a red herring for Veranke. Like, they'll talk about the Skrull queen for the whole show and Clarke will be acting all sketchy in her scenes, and whoops, she was working for Fury the whole time and really she's... *rolls d100 on big Table o' Heroes* Spitfire. And then it turns out Colman is the real villain and gets to chew scenery.
