Well, yes. Also - while I recognize the impromptu Space Avengers did try to prevent Thanos from flexing his gauntlet - the first shot of the Reality Stone should’ve ended the fight. In any sane (but less entertaining) universe. :P

The entire Guardians crew minus Quill swooning over Oh-So-Dreamy Thor cracked me up more than it probably should’ve.

Without the Time stone, Thanos and Strange get stuck in an endless tango of CTRL-Z?

My favourite character I didn’t get to play enough was The Sorcerer. (“Who?”)

Agreement on the non-issue issue! Also: This particular salty DM runs a stable of local available NPC talent. As in, characters the PCs have gotten to know. If I absolutely feel compelled to build a Dungeon of Nasty Traps, I don’t even have to shove Plot-Mandated Backup at the party. They’ll go recruit on their own.

Yep. 5e Bards are the Amazing Rock Stars With - Primary Caster! - Magic Powers. They’re the Battle of the Bands scene in the Scott Pilgrim movie. They’re not your useless jackasses of trades plural, but goddamn master Phonomancers. With Rogue-rivalling skill expertise, to boot.

Yes. Very much yes.

Hey, yeah! That is a great catch. Which might signify some sneaky, sneaky meta?

Wait... does this mean Dove Cameron is playing Gwen Stacy on Agents of SHIELD?

Aaaaand now I want to see the Unbelievable Pink Henchwoman Champion Mercenary Avenger MetaFan decapitate a robot and quip “ROLL CREDITS”.

Well, seeing as the Brood are Totally-Not-Giger-Xenomorphs... The delicious anti-infringement meta is just spot on.

Polaris herself called the interaction-effect between hers and Eclipse’s power “Aurora Borealis”. Romance and poetry clearly demand the result of their, ahem, basic-human interaction be named Aurora as well.

I’m sure you meant four-dimensional character?

Yeah. Also! A present-day tech extrapolation of which I am fond:

I’ve also long been of the opinion that every version of a fictional universe we see in popular media is really only an approximation of a Platonic ideal of that universe that exists only in our imaginations.

So ka, chummer, but some of us have chrome to pay for and habits to feed.

Really, they let just anybody into the dictionary these days. Or is it a wiktionary? Gah!

I’d love to see Gamora & Angela’s, um... What do you call a “bromance” between women? Oh yes, “friendship”. I’d love to see their lethal deadpan rivalry-(hack-and)-slash-friendship. On a screen. Too!

three smarties (BW, W, Q), two smart asses (W, Q), two caustic smart asses (BW, JJ), two agents (BW, Q), a bruiser (JJ), two-and-a-half flyers (SW, W, JJ), and two powerhouses (SW, Q)

Indeed!

And I’m pretty sure the word is “pastiche”.
