When people visit, the rain stops. Mathematically it shouldn’t work out, but most Seattlites will confirm - it’s always raining except when friends and family come in from out of town. 

Too soon.

I am insanely jealous.

As soon as you started describing the Yes and Know pens, I immediately had a wave of nausea. Guess the road-trip-motion-sickness-because-you’re looking-down-at-the-workbook PTSD is still with me. Well played.

All of them have been dead for five years. The ones who weren’t have graduated by now, and aren’t on the trip.

Well played.

Zero chance they spent CGI resources inserting Ghost into this episode and last just to give him an off-screen death. I’m hoping he took off to find his sister and her wolf army.

ergh.

Or, you know, that steel beams have thermal failure modes other than melting, which occur at much lower temperatures. (reflex. sorry.)

I mean, what are we talking about, like five characters? 2^-5 = 1/32, which, ok that’s not great odds, but it’s better than roulette, and people play and win at roulette all the time. It’s not that big a suspension of disbelief to ask, particularly if we’re already accepting infinity stones and time travel :)

I get it…

Yes, and that still happened. That timeline was not disrupted. But now another timeline exists where they get to have what might have been. I am debating the finer points of time travel in a comic book movie. I’m going to stop that now :)

I had previously read the AoU scene as Cap being *almost* worthy enough, so he budged it a little... but in retrospect, Thor’s “I knew it!” seems like he suspected Cap was faking not being able to pick it up, so I’m coming around to that interpretation. And I like it a lot, for both characters.

I’ll give you the answer to 1): that’s how long it takes to grow a human being who can tell you she loves you three thousand. They needed that much time to deliver the full Stark arc.

Stark had access to something in Endgame that he didn’t have in Infinity War, though: the original gauntlet (to use as a technical reference), which presumably they brought with them after confronting and decapitating Thanos. That’s rationale enough for me to go with it.

I mean, that’s not just a happy ending for Steve Rogers. It’s a happy ending for both of them. She had been mourning what could have been just as long as he had. Quite a bit longer, come to think of it.

You’re saying you wouldn’t?

I have good news for you! They gave you one of those less than two months ago, and they’re giving you another one in less than three months! They’re giving you a fantastic buffet of exactly what you’re asking for, *and also* giving delivering this glorious feast for of us who crave a resonant crescendo uniting all…

In a nutshell, the Schroedinger’s Douchebag party.
