I mean, in his essay he notes the exact number of people on twitter who had made similar jokes to the one he was accused of stealing (and points out how the writer accusing him of plagiarism on 15 different instances tweeted a joke similar to one of his monologue jokes after the airing of Conan’s show). Feel like the…

Though returning them is a pretty easy job (except the reality stone, I guess he’s got to surreptitiously inject Natalie Portman? #slashfic). But now they know where all the stones go and have a magic machine that can put you anywhere in space and time, so unlike retrieving the stones where it was landing in the…

But that’s on a relatively flat plain, like an arrow, for a ballistae to make that distance they’d have to fire at an 45 degree angle to get that kind of range. If you’re target is 400 feet away AND in the sky, that range becomes a bit more insurmountable, the show has been so lazy for so long that this is the least…

The only appeal of Tyrion at this point is that Dinklage is so fucking magnetic that you can’t help but like the guy. But the show has done a terrible job with him. The buildup of him as this clever little genius who hasn’t had a chance to shine has not come to fruition. The only notch on his belt is Blackwater, which…

“Everyone enter through the portals, stop after about 10 feet and then please take of your helmets, no no it’ll be fine, no combat will be happening during this period, just helmets off and hold the pose please.”

I was really hoping the show would do something more interesting than the kill the main guy/host computer/mothership/etc and EVERY single other soldier drops too. But oh well.

In a movie with veteran actors who know their roles just absolutely nailing some great moments, I thought Hemsworth’s “I went for the head” was amazing, just this mix of bravado and failure and sadness that really punctuated the moment.

Though not really, all she’d have to do is jump back to AoU, save him with her magic witch powers, then jump back to her timeline and bring him with her.

Yeah I know right! Its like this incredible magical piece of technology they introduced can still be useful even if it can’t be used to directly alter time. But you’re right, I guess the only practical use for it was this one very specific scenario and it would never be useful in any other situation.

They used it in THIS film to fix things. They have now, very literally, introduced a device into this universe that let’s them drop anywhere in space or time, you think because it can’t be used to do that one thing it is something that would just never be useful or the most practical way to solve other issues?

As someone who was not a nielsen viewer, I could hear this news without a ping of guilt.

Yeah, I get that it was a Gamora from a different timeline, I just meant in practical terms they now have a Gamora again who can be in future GotG movies.

Ah, that makes a bit more sense, I took her to be saying they needed to avoid divergent timelines, but if its more about keeping the infinity stones existing in each instance that does vibe a bit more consistently with the film.

Yeah, dummy me just thought, oh, that’s Cap’s weapon now too, kewl. But you’re right of course he was returning it.

I’m nitpicking the time travel shenanigans in another part of this thread, just cause its interesting to think about, but even in spite of that, I think time travel junk can always be just written off as “whatever” (the bigger problem is now that they’ve introduced time travel into the universe, it creates a “well why…

Hmmm, I took that to mean that the 2014 version of Gamora was just running around in the future somewhere, but maybe you’re right, I guess stay tuned for the exciting conclusion in next summer’s GotG3!

Except, presumably, Cap returned all the stones to where they took them from, including the space stone from the 70s.

And the GotG one, cause they knocked Peter out, which has got to change something to how that event plays out.

I think Black Widow is going to be an origin story, so that kind of solves itself.

So, other than fulfilling Banner’s promise, why bother returning the infinity stones at the end? Most of the return trips already created an alternate timeline on the first visit (Loki stealing off with the space stone, knocking Peter out, Thor taking his hammer, Nebula...). If the idea was to return them to maintain…
