So apparently there is a good reason for it. The final was supposed to happen BEFORE the snap.
But... but... they had the audacity to focus on telling their own story rather than let themselves be relegated to a footnote to a blockbuster movie! As a fan, the last thing I want is a greater variety of stories!
You should watch it, because it was fantastic. But it all takes place hours before the ending of IW — the penultimate episode showed the aftermath of the Battle with Ebony Maw, which means there is still probably a day left. The final scene takes place a day later, which means that there are probably only hours left.
That’s not a Cockney accent. He’s going full Southie. Chris is from Boston.
I understand his pain, because I’m somewhat the same. However I can’t approve of his coping mechanism.
Your compliance will be rewarded.
I think it would be interesting if Marvel used SHIELD to tell a “Left Behind” sort of story to help fill in what’s going on in the MCU after the Snap. But that would also mean that Avengers 4 would need to pick up several months/year later with everyone still depressed from defeat.
That being said.. SHIELD hasn’t been…
A Disney executive wouldn’t even say that much, they just pointed out there are two Marvel movies coming before Avengers 4 to worry about first (Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel).
It’s probably not the story they plan to tell, but it would be interesting if Homecoming 2 did have two Spider-men (or a Spider-Gwen), and they focused the early marketing on the one not dead, only for the marketing to shift once Avengers 4 comes out to reveal the movie has two Spiders in it.
Here’s another angle: With Fury, Hill, and Coulson (presumably) gone due to his own “Let him Die” cliffhanger. Daisy becomes the defacto leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. and if not her, May. We know future May makes it. So here’s my pitch:
Everybody has a thing about others bending the knee. It’s like running around in leather and heels isn’t enough for some people...
Agreed. I think Avengers 4 should be titled “Kicking Names and Taking Asses”.
I didn’t play this one, but a good friend of mine who frequently DMs for his entirely-too-comedic-for-his-own-good brother told me about it. This was the sort of guy who routinely played characters like Velvet Merlin, the flamingly straight sparklemancer from Greater Fairyton. He wanted to play a half-orc wizard, but…
... then when all looks lost, Ghost Rider Coulson swoops out of the sky in a flying, flaming, ‘62 Vette - firing hell chains out of his mecha-hand!
And Mac. Charles Robinson was the show’s secret weapon.
I loved Night Court when I was a kid, and have caught some reruns as an adult. It holds up. He is the beating heart of that show. Bull, Dan, Ros, Christine, Mack, and others were great characters, but Harry Anderson grounded it, with his own sharp humor. Harry, Mel Torme, and corny magic tricks. 65 is far too young. I…
Maybe she was in Bahrain?
