Oh, duh, yea. Bucky, Okoye and maybe that Wastelander Black Widow seem to be the core survivors of the zombies episode.

Well, if the Avengers didn’t work, Fury literally had no other plan in place. The only other major hero who existed at that point would be Captain Marvel, and with her not appearing until after the invasion, there would be no heavy resistance against the Asgardians. Despite them being ineffective chumps when going up…

There’s definitely more Gurira coming, with the episode where Killmonger saves Stark from the bomb and they both conquer Wakanda. I would guess that there will also be more Sif in the Party Thor episode, where he doesn’t become worthy and just stays on Earth.

It definitely felt, as someone else I talked to about it said, that this episode stops more than it actually ends. Loki taking over Earth in the UN would be a good ending, but adding the Fury and Carol part makes it feel like there’s another ending we’re not getting. I do agree that there should have been some…

Yup, “Fury’s Big Week” has been an established thing since before The Avengers, albeit not a highly mentioned or publicized thing, when they were first figuring out the timeline.

“Ep2 wasn’t “a key person in the overall story made a different decision.” It was “some other random thing happened instead.”

I’m not necessarily saying the Wakanda stories will take place in the T’Challa Star-Lord dimension, just that there will be more episodes that involve Wakanda, and thus those actors would already be recording more stuff for those episodes, so they could just record a line or two for this one too.

But I was led to believe that Marvel has no confidence in and hates Sam as Captain America because they changed the Twitter account to Captain Carter for like 4 days before changing it back to Sam when the promotion period for Captain Carter was over. 

There’s more Wakanda stuff coming in the season so having some of them record a couple lines for this episode probably wasn’t a big deal, since they were already there.

Psst, PSSST, they changed the @Guardians Twitter account to T’Challa Star-Lord because his episode is this week. Wonder if they’ll change it back to the main MCU team on Fri/Sat like they did with Captain America. Who knows with marketing cycles.

Totally, we need more anti-trust actions taken, but for me, Disney is near the bottom of my list of priorities, below Comcast and AT&T all of the other telecoms. Disney is a movie/tv and park company. I’d rather tear apart the telecoms (some of whom own the ‘vertical integration’ pipeline of supplying the content and…

the movie was made by 20th Century Fox before Disney swallowed it up

People can change. Hold the baby.

Hey, what a surprise, at the end of the week after the episode has been out for a couple days they changed it back to Sam. Who could have seen that coming. 

Not going to repeat what others have said about ‘Captain Britain,” just to make the observation that they didn’t use a name like that for Peggy because of one simple thing: choice. Peggy chose to name herself Captain Carter, she didn’t get wrangled into becoming a stage show. Steve was given the name Captain America…

In fact, maybe upping the blood quotient in more superhero films would serve as a helpful reminder that, just because a character wears a cape, doesn’t mean they’re as cuddly as Daniel Tiger—or as ready to be served up to your 4-year-old.

“They’re promoting different things, and Sam Wilson isn’t particularly relevant to what Marvel needs from the news cycle right now, but the concern is that it implies that there’s some impermanence to Sam Wilson’s Captain America or that he won’t be afforded the same level of attention and respect that Chris Evans’…

They do say Nazis in the movie. They then go on to say that Hydra is a splinter group of Nazis. The SSR is running their own covert(ish, as much as you can be when fighting town sized tanks) against Hydra specifically because of the threat of the Tesseract. It’s WWII happening normally outside of what the SSR is doing.

Ha! I’m not a writer, I’m just a dork who remembers minutiae in this stuff for seemingly no reason.

Captain Carter also almost certainly shows up again this season too. They’ve said T’Challa-Lord is in 4 episodes, the trailers have a shot of Carter meeting with a Doctor Strange. It’s going to lead to some sort of Avengers/Guardians of the Multiverse finale.
