I like the idea, but I think it'd get stale after... oh, about 4 minutes and 27 seconds. Of course I'm also an old man who has lost the ability to feel joy, so that's a factor.

Black Widow spoilers: We don't know if Red Guardian is just bullshitting about having a showdown with Cap in the 80s, but the way he brings it up with Natasha it seems as if he genuinely believes it to be true. He obviously would notice if it were Isaiah Bradley and not Steve Rogers. This hints at the possibility that Steve Rogers continued to work in secret after he has gone back to the 40s in Endgame and addresses the complaint that Steve wouldn't be able to sit on the sidelines of terrible events that some had. This is my head-canon now even though it's most likely that Red Guardian is BSing.

Regarding Black Widow: If there’s one thing we’ve learned in the MCU it’s that everyone on the planet has been trying to make another Captain America since he fell in the ice. I’m guessing Alexei fought one of the many attempts.

So did Alexei have the super soldier serum or what, and if so I wonder what him running around means in the wake of the Sam/Bucky show. He seemed pretty famous, considering he had fan-mail and an action figure and all. I wonder if he's on Zemo's radar or what. Edit: Oh, yeah. I went and saw it, and my strongest opinion is that it was really nice to be in a dark theater eating popcorn again. The movie itself was... fine? It seemed weirdly diluted, like it wanted to pull in various different directions but kept getting yanked back to a stable if somewhat unexciting middle-ground. It felt a bit too beholden to Marvel continuity to really be an excellent spy thriller, and a bit too muted to really make the most of being part of this wild superhero universe, a little too jokey and glib to be a serious The Americans-esque investigation of gender and violence and a little too serious about gender and violence to be a jokey and glib Bond-esque farce. The bad guys were all kind of nonentities which I didn't mind much-- the core cast was good and I liked their dynamics. It was a nice pretext for an evening out, although my wife hated it more than I've seen her hate a movie in a long time. How Wonderful! fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Jul 13, 2021 |

At this stage "super soldier serum" isn't even shocking. Hulk and Abomination are the result of an attempt to replicate it. Bucky and a bunch of other guys were given a form of it by Hydra. Isiah and others were given a form of it by the US government. The Power Broker's scientist gave the Flagsmashers a form of it. So yeah, sure. The Red Room gave Red Guardian a form of it. Who didn't have a super soldier?

My partner had a fun night out but didn't express any happy grrl power feelings like she did for Birds of Prey. She's been way more into Loki and she was never really a Loki stan so I wonder if it's a quality thing or if we've all just moved on from grounded stories and are only satisfied with outright insanity from our Marvel productions.

I’m guessing Alexei fought one of the many attempts. I mean this is possible but I feel like there's no way the government wouldn't make a big deal out of a new Cap like they did in Falcon & the Winter Soldier (or just lie about Steve's apparent death). There's no point in having walking propaganda doing black ops, so if there was a Captain America in the 80s, everyone would know and then Ursa Major wouldn't have called him on bullshitting in the prison. STAC Goat posted:At this stage "super soldier serum" isn't even shocking. Yeah it seems like the only people who have actually suffered negative side effects from the super-soldier serum (or attempts to recreate it) were Isaiah Bradley's squad mates and the Hulk. Even if the US couldn't crack the code, between the Winter Soldiers and Red Guardian it sure seems like the USSR did so I'm wondering why the Cold War ended the same in the MCU.

I mean, it was a cold war. But there's probably 100 dead russian soldiers for Alexei's success if we go by the pattern. The MCU deal is that Cap was a success and then everyone spent the next 50 years trying to replicate it with really lovely success rates. So yeah, there's a bunch of random super soldiers out there but tons more failed experiments and probably mass graves. And ultimately the plan was always to build an army of super soldiers, not one guy. One guy is useful as an assassin or propaganda tool or individual missions. But everyone wants armies so they can do whatever they want.

And the Serum worked like it was supposed to on Blonsky too. It's just that peak human performance still isn't a match for Hulk. It's just when Blonsky stole and overdosed on the Serum you get Abom.

I’m honestly surprised about how little was touched upon Red Guardian’s origin considering what a big deal is usually made about super soldiers in the MCU. I realize he’s hardly the focus of the film, but they just throw a guy who can lift cars in and say, “Here he is! Anyway.” My assumption is he was an early or the first creation of the Red Room, probably from Winter Soldier’s blood, but he’s a hothead and difficult to control so they scrapped the super soldier angle entirely and shifted focus to the Widow program. I assume Dreykov didn’t outright kill him just in case he ever needed access to the serum again (maybe he used some for Antonia?), because he’s a drat huge liability against Dreykov and the Red Room to just leave out in the world, especially since he was clearly well known and getting fan mail in prison so it’s not like he was exactly hidden.

After retiring, Captain America worked as a hot dog vendor for most of his life, casually ignoring all the lives he could save. His wife, also a hero, was fine with this and was also content ignoring disasters around the world she could help with. Eventually Steve Rogers started a channel on youtube where he demonstrated the best way to cook hot dogs and became a viral sensation. At the age of 84 he is making bank eating hot dogs on stream while playing videogames. Steve Rogers died in 2034 and was put to rest in a grave marked by a huge hot dog statue carved out of marble

There’s no guarantee Kang will be the primary antagonist in Quantumania or that Scott will even beat him. If they’re setting him up as the next Big Bad I can’t see him getting stomped in his second appearance. But then again since Kang is all about time travel and finding the ideal path for easy dominance, maybe he does get beaten in Quantumania and it serves as intel for another future Kang. Just a whole series of movie appearances where Kang is defeated, only to smirk at the end and pop away with a new batch of “Ok, now don’t do this” information for later.

They're probably just gonna end up crossing paths since the Ant crew have the inside line on the means to time travel. How that shapes out I have no idea. Plus Quantumania is 7 films and like another 7 TV shows away. So who the knows what the gently caress is going on by then?
