Thanks for the original and insightful reply.

Sure, but that character description just feels like they copy/pasted it and then just changed whatever character is was to “centaru/manticore thing.” Like they didn’t even try to make a new character. Berry can do stuff out of this range when he wants. The episode of Archer 1999 where he’s the “living bomb” thing has…

I guess it comes down to where/when Thanos got infected. I saw in another reply that it’s possible that one of the Zombie Black Order got back to him and did it, which I guess makes the most sense, but still, everything about the ending feels off.

I like a lot of Harmon’s stuff, but this just sounds like the lamest generic “aren’t we EDGY????” adult animation, from the name down to the character descriptions to even the cast. Are we just going to typecast Berry now and not even try?

It’s kinda funny in how so much of the MCU is inspired by the Ultimates run, though.

I mean, I don’t know if this is a spoiler, but they had said before the T’Challa Star-Lord episode that Boseman had recorded stuff for multiple episodes, that one was just the episode he was the focus of.

This was a controversial line? It got a laugh in theaters and then I literally heard nothing about it. Tony may be Earth’s Greatest Protector, but Strange literally operates on a whole different plane of reality, so it made sense for Strange to do a “shut up, you fight robots, I fight inter-dimensional demons” thing.

If only there were some show on Disney+ that Ruffalo is co-starring that’s about Hulks where this could be explored. Dang, oh well, guess we’re out of luck.

Nexus Events and Fixed Points In Time are two different things. Timelines have Fixed Points In Time that need to happen for that timeline to exist. A Nexus Event is what creates that branch.

Christine’s death is a fixed point in time for the branched timeline. It’s the moment that creates the branch. Christine saying yes to going to the event with Strange is the event that creates the branch.

The branch reality isn’t Christine dying, the timeline branches when she says yes to going to the event with Strange. Before she dies they’re already on a new timeline, and for that timeline to continue to grow, Strange needs to suffer a loss that leads him to become a sorcerer so he can get rid of Dormammu. If that…

What is so weird about it, is that it treats her death like this essential thing ... and that she just tragically had to die or else Strange wouldn’t become the hero he was meant to be. But the previous movie clearly demonstrates that she didn’t have to die or even be romantically involved with him for that to happen.

The What If? decision that creates the branching timeline is Strange inviting Christine to the event with him.

What the Deadpool movies have done with Baccarin is a crime, so criminally underused.

While it is still fridging, them saying “fridging Christine just leads to the ultimate destruction of a timeline” is at least an intentional commentary on how this terrible, tired trope just leads to the worst outcome. It hopefully also means this is not something that will happen in the movies, and hopefully just is…

Of course, he’s been on television plenty since leaving The Daily Show in 2015, including when he plugged the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 was created in a lab in China. Jon, please, don’t do that again.

That’s why I said ‘most.’ Yes, the montages in Cap 1 are weeks and months. There’s *maybe* a significant time jump from the cold open of Avengers to the Nat scene, but it has to be days or something, they wouldn’t let the Tesseract and Clint just be left alone for weeks (it’s also heavily implied that a lot of Loki’s…

I meant a retcon for The Incredible Hulk in Iron Man 2. TIH never establishes when it takes place, so two years later they could just slot it in in the background of IM2.

That was a theory at the time, like in Iron Man 2 the guy in the Monaco jail getting his picture taken being Thor, but even if that was the original intention, it’s been changed. Virginia and New Mexico are quite far away, and Odin doesn’t make a storm that would cover the entire country. The deleted opening of…

They’ll be in other episodes. Drax won’t.
