I didn't need a Strange cameo, and the show didn't either, but I did kind of half expect him to pop up at the very end and be like "You're going to my weird magic school, yer a wizard Harry" or pop up after Wanda flew off and say "alright I'm here, now what the hell were you slobbering about on the phone" to Jimmy Woo

Everyone keeps saying they didn't want that, and quite rightly, because it'd have been patronizing and a bit dumb. But if it was going to happen, what I really expected was the opposite. Wanda turning up on Dr. Strange's doorstep with the Darkhold and being all "hey turns out I'm a super-powerful but completely untrained witch, and I got this book, you're gonna give me lessons" would have made a lot of sense and kept her agency.

I think the idea is Tony sold to "legitimate" militaries endorsed by the US government while Stane was secretly selling to the militants on the other side but I don't remember what Obadiah confessed to in Iron Man one. Point is Stark could have legitimately sold arms to the Sokovian government only for them to carpet bomb their own people in an attempt to put down an uprising. I always think of Sokovia as a Syria insert anyway and that definitely could have happened there.

You're misremembering a bit. When Tony sees he's about to be killed by a Stark bomb, his expression is "well that's ironic", not "what the gently caress, I didn't sell bombs to these guys, I've been betrayed".

The confrontation with Stane is that after Tony came back and gave his big "we're not selling arms anymore" press conference, Stane went "lmao yeah right I'm just gonna do it behind your back" and Tony has just found out about it. Remember, in Iron Man, Tony thinks the "Merchant of Death" nickname is pretty good, and in Age of Ultron, he clarifies that the difference between him and Klaue was that he only sold arms to people it was legal to sell to -- but he doesn't make it sound like he was picky about which recognized governments could buy his bombs.

It's only one episode, but at least so far I feel like Marvel maybe should've gone with the binge-watch model and released all of this one at once. All we got this week was setup, and super depressing setup at that. The sitcom format may have served WandaVision better than we realized, by giving every episode a self-contained setup and resolution.

Also yes, someone needs to explain to us in a hurry why the Flag-Smashers are baddies, because "national borders are bullshit, didn't you fuckers notice how we all got together as a single planet after Thanos and actually handled our poo poo, how dare you try to put back the old repressive systems except even worse now because you're trying to gently caress 4 billion people over for being Snapped"... those are the heroes until someone says different.

The head writer is on record as saying Truth is one of the things they drew from when writing the show. My guess is they'll change it to be an attempt to recreate the super soldier serum after Erskine died, and not have them be unwilling beta testers for Steve. Which on the face of things doesn't line up with Erskine's insistence that they be very selective about who gets the serum, but as I think about it more, maybe he had more than a sample size of Schmidt when he was talking to Steve about how the serum amplifies the recipient's inherent nature.

One of the major inspirations the MCU took from the Ultimate Universe was how basically everything, especially at the start, was someone trying to replicate the super soldier serum. That's still Bruce's origin, unless I'm misremembering or they quietly retconned it.

A better question is why wouldn't an actor want to be part of the MCU. You'll practically live forever via the role.

Yeah, at this point it's sorta like the Harry Potter movies, where by the end basically any British actor of any note had taken a role because if they didn't have children or grandchildren who'd never forgive them for turning it down, they still wanted to be in because Harry fuckin' Potter.

A few thoughts on this episode:

First and foremost, I love so much that they don't call any attention to this: An unauthorized raid on an enemy POW camp, disobeying direct orders, to free imprisoned compatriots is exactly what made Steve Rogers transition from glorified USO show-pony to Actually Captain America. Having Isaiah Bradley do the same thing and get jailed for it is exactly the right touch for a show wanting to talk about what this show wants to talk about.

And on that note, it is god damned hilarious that the Walt Disney Corporation was like "hey kids, we're making superhero TV shows on the internet now!" and everyone was like "that sounds fun, what're they about" and it turns out the answer so far is Grief and Systemic Racism.

I don't know why Sam and Bucky were talking about Steve like he was dead even in private. Like, you guys would have told us if he's actually dead, right? There's still no reason why you can't, like, phone him up and ask him about his thoughts? I'll chalk it up to odd writing, I guess.

We nearly got the full credits this week, finally, with just one spot blank after Daniel Bruhl's "and starring", so there's one big cameo left for Episode 6.

And finally, if Sharon is the Power Broker -- and at this point that seems like an inescapable conclusion -- why the gently caress did she send Batroc to the Flag Smashers? Isn't she pissed off at them, and kinda relying on Sam to get her that pardon? What's she playing at?

It doesn't seem all that far fetched to me that Steve came back to give the shield to sam and then asked to be sent back to his new timeline with Peggy

It's not like they've been consistent on this or that any explanation they've given (or indeed could give) makes sense, but last I heard the official line was that Steve was always Peggy's husband in this timeline and that's why she stayed so insanely evasive about his identity, he just laid low and let it all happen again. Which, y'know, doesn't explain why she was apparently down to date some dudes in Agent Carter, but oh well.

The first episode of MODOK is really dire, yeah. It's extremely trite and predictable and it sucked. But then the show actually figures out what it's doing and finds a lane that isn't "generic unfunny sitcom but with guy with a big head" and from there it just keeps getting increasingly self-confident and unafraid to go weird, big, and unexpected, and every time it does it gets funnier. Stick with it through at least the Mad Scientist Fight.

Ending's more than a little abrupt, though, and really at odds with the rest of the show.

Regarding the person at the end of episode 2, I don't know if Lady Loki is going to end up the MCU version of the Enchantress, but I'm pretty darn sure that was Loki and not Amora. A complicated plan full of long term planning, feints and double-feints, and then a swerve at the last second to do something else altogether is a bit outside the realm of typical Enchantress planning, which doesn't get much more complicated than "find strong man, make him love me". That was a Loki plan.

I thought that was a really good episode. "gently caress it, it's an alternate universe, let's kill everyone and burn it all down" is classic What If storytelling. The only way they could have been more authentic would have been a gratuitous Spider-Man cameo just to kill him on-screen.

I still don't love the power change, but they looked really cool in action and she obviously can't be an Inhuman, which is okay because the Inhumans loving suck on toast, always have, always will. And the vibe was dead-on.

I'm not sure those are the Nega-Bands, though. (Or, I suppose, not the ones from the comics -- there's no reason they couldn't end up being called that, or the Quantum Bands.) They actually reminded me of the Ten Rings, and considering how Shang-Chi left "what the gently caress are those, what is their deal" as its most open, burning question, having more, similar artifacts pop up would make sense.

Speaking of her connection to Carol, it occurs to me that Carol never was Ms. Marvel in the MCU, and in fact, nobody's ever used that name. It's going to be purely Kamala's identity. I don't know if they're going to touch on that aspect at all, but Kamala making up her own superhero name instead of intentionally picking up a legacy definitely changes the vibe a bit.

I have many questions.

Wong busts him out so they can go throw illegal underground fights and then puts him back in his cell.

I hope that wasn't the final CGI because it was very Uncanny Valley, but adding "Attorney At Law" does make me hope that they're going to lean into the Dan Slott run where the premise is "legal procedural, except the law gets very very silly when it has to take into account things like 'yes, I was dead then but now I'm not' and 'that person who looked, talked, and acted like me and had my DNA was not me, it was a multiversal variant or Skrull or something'".

Why are people mad at the WandaVision finale? I thought it was really touching and the logical conclusion of the series, and the only wrong note was Monica letting Wanda off with "no, you're the good guy here, all the people who you've been torturing for weeks are really ungrateful bastards actually", and Dr. Strange has gone back and fixed that by making it clear that actually Wanda was behaving super badly, she was supposed to be the bad guy. Which I don't like on the grounds that I'm sick of WOMEN: SO GODDAMN CRAZY AM I RITE FELLAS, CAN'T LET THEM HAVE POWER NO SIR and Wanda's been hit with that stick more and harder than just about anyone, but it's still clean storytelling now.

My super fuzzy She-Hulk memories from the books (mostly 80's Avengers) is that she was always rolling in the Hulk form. Canonically, could she shift at will?

Apart from a decision in Jason Aaron's recent Avengers run which landed like a lead balloon, Jen's always been in control of the transformation, yeah. Hilariously, her earliest appearances had her in Bruce's lane anyway, trying to play the entire thing like it was a curse. I think it was Byrne who first pointed out that "oh no, I can turn into a confident super-strong Amazon bombshell" is hardly a curse, and why wouldn't Jen want to be She-Hulk 24/7?

The series will probably start with her not wanting to be a Hulk, and trying to hide it, and then she'll gradually accept it and actually start to like it, so will turn permanently. Like Marty McFly in Teen Wolf.

From the trailer, it looks like she's starting out with the Hulk as an uncontrolled survival mechanism, and Bruce is putting her through the same process he did to himself to gain control of the form -- which, bringing it back to the above, reduced both its size and muscle definition in addition to chilling him out.

CapnAndy: Feb 27, 2004; Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Did Morpheus wear that gas mask in the comics too and I'm forgetting or is it a Wesley Dodds homage?

It�s good but it�s sorta distressingly real too with how it�s serving as a commentary on the ways civilization is just hosed to death. They�re hitting on a much more nuanced level than last season where Stormfront just got up in front of a crowd and was like �hey I�m a big racist, what�s up fellow fash� and was an instant superstar.

I was a little worried about colorism when they announced her casting but I have to admit they really nailed it(again), she's perfect.

At this rate whoever is doing Marvel's casting should get paid RDJ money.

Her name is Sarah Finn and she is absolutely Marvel's secret weapon. 80% of the MCU's success is because of Kevin Feige, and she's the other 20. And yeah, she's done it again; I don't know how they keep pulling movie stars fully formed right out of thin goddamn air, but goddamn if they haven't done it again. Iman Vellani's gonna be huge.

Also, having a full on musical dance sequence in her own show is the most Kamala Khan thing possible and I loved it so much.

OTOH they're doing a good job this season showing how the kinds of people who would do that would fully agree with and be on board with Homelander

Oh god yeah. That single moment when Homelander is giving his unhinged "I am superior and the rules don't apply to me" rant and they cut to MM's ex-wife's boyfriend, the Averagest White Boy, leaning forward like he's finally found true love? That was the most chilling thing I've seen in the entire series so far. It loving dropkicks anything they tried to accomplish with Stormfront right into the garbage.

What genre films from the last 40 years don't have sex?

Every Star Wars, every Harry Potter, every Lord of the Rings, every Star Trek, Pacific Rim, Independence Day, both Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Aquaman, both Venoms, Justice League, Superman I, III, IV, and Man of Steel, Shazam, Morbius, technically the Hunger Games and Twilights but those are both very horny franchises, the Raimi Spider-Mans, the Amazing Spider-Mans, every Fantastic Beasts...

this is more of a "try to remember every genre film from the last 40 years" exercise than anything.

It wouldn�t have been proper Jersey if nobody ever played Bon Jovi.

Not sure if I love the optics of making the first Muslim superhero a literal genie, though.

However, that was clearly a Ten Rings symbol on the floor of the bangle chamber, and we already knew that the rings were some weird kind of energy sending a signal to an unknown place, so� maybe we actually do know where the other bangle they we�re looking for got off to?

I noticed Bruno�s physique in that tshirt too, my thought was that it was intentional with the subtext of the scene very much being �hey, I�m a love interest too, look at me�.

It looks fantastic. And other people that no idea what the Inhumans are thought so too. I had friends asking me who that guy was because he looked cool and they had no clue who the hell he was.

Did you tell them it was Blackagar Boltagon

She-Hulk's going all in on the 4th wall breaks being part of her character, it's not a one-off gag.
