Except the Avengers did not face any consequences for the Sokovia fiasco until Civil War. It did not happen in Age of Ultron.

He is not stupid - just incredibly evil. He thinks by stating a lie, people will believe it. Trumpkins generally do.

Like most of her ilk (the wealthy kleptocratic class), she just thought it did not apply to her. The filial honor crap is...well crap.

I have never seen their show (of course I know who they are - it is unavoidable), but I like your writing, and everything you wrote pretty much confirms what I thought. One question though - is he one of those fundies who refers to his wife as “my bride.” I don’t know why, but that seems so creepy and possessive when…

They who know Robert’s rule the meeting!

Just when I think I have heard them all!

Charlie Pierce calls him Senator Manchin (D - Coal).

Nice boss move Van Hollen! Johnson has, in this new Senate, shot way past Cruz, Graham, and McConnell as Senator I most want to punch in the nose. He is the worst. This caps off his other BS, including claiming there was no insurrection because there were no weapons! The trump is strong with this sith lord.

Anything that can be used to fight white supremacy. They love these things as long as they serve white supremacy/trump. But once they start to challenge it...

Animals. Thugs. We know what you really wanted to say. I mean, your post did not exactly show any empathy for the victim. You could have said, “just awful what these criminals did to this poor kid. I’m going to send him some new sneakers.” Well, if you weren’t interested in just ranting about black kids “in the inner…

“I mean, I am reading off of the script my union rep gave me.”

First, Wallis and Edward were both Nazi sympathizers. Second, this is so par for the course with this family. Look how the Royal-controlled (they never do their own dirty work) press dragged Diana when she was dating Khan and later Fayed. Monarchies should be gone in the 21st century. And don’t stat with that “oh, but…

Seriously, does everyone involved want to spoon feed talking points to people like Carlson, the teeny weeny white wizard? This is red meat for the cult of orange.

Does the mouseover not show anything on Firefox?

It is not as if this is the end of the entire MCU. We have seen characters have to face consequences a number of times.

I would expect they will. Look what happened with the aftermath of the Lagos disaster, then the Sokovia Accords. This will come up later, I am sure of it.

As I said above, in a post Snap world, he is very believable. He is every war crimes apologist after 9/11.

Hayward is a logical extension of both the Sokovia Accords and the Snap. This is a terrified, paranoid world that became that way (in the eyes of people like him) because of super powered individuals. He makes PERFECT sense. Did nobody else live through 9/11 and the PATRIOT Act? Explaining away war crimes? Hayward is…

I really have to disagree. Looking for a big, complicated villain and being disappointed that there was not one seems like you are trying to make this whole story into something it is not. The antagonist was always her grief. This was a story about her coming to terms with loss.  Agatha attempts to use that against…

Was she perhaps the missing witness in protection? That is what I took away.
