Stark used the tesseract to power the proto-Iron Man suit, which is why he was able to build it 60 years ahead of schedule.  Red Skull got his hands on the tesseract when he recovered Steve and the armor from the wreckage of the train, and used it to open the portal.  

Best not to ask.

Is it just me, or does T’Challa look like he has a bit of a dad-bod in the first screenshot?

Loki is centuries old. We’ve only seen like 1% of the dude’s life. All those variants are from the other 99%, and who knows what sort of wacky comic book shenanigans he was up to? Maybe at one point, two hundred years ago, Loki got captured by a mad wizard who was going to turn him into a troll, but Thor showed up and…

It could mean that, but the bombs were dropped all up and down the time stream.  Asgard being destroyed in 2020 doesn’t stop a time bomb from going off in Asgard in 1950.

This will certainly prevent me from voting for Hunter Biden for re-election in 2024.

Is that Drax, or Uncle Fester?

EVERYONE in the cast just making animal noises appropriate for their character, with subtitles so we can follow the plot.

I kinda feel like this is justified use of the trope, in that Shitty Captain America should also have a shitty origin story that includes fridging a POC to motivate him. Like, John Walker isn’t just the worst version of Captain America within the narrative, he’s also the worst version of Captain America in a…

I watched the trailer pretty much just to see if there was any Pogues in it.

If there isn’t a scene of the protagonists getting ready to fight vampires while Shane MacGowan sings, “We’ll eat your feckin’ entrails, and we won’t give a damn,” I will be very disappoint.

I 100% don’t expect this to happen, but if they introduce a shapeshifting criminal overlord operating in Madripoor and it’s anyone other than Mystique, I’m going to be disappointed.

I’m assuming they got suction cups on the ends.

This list would have been more visually impressive if there weren’t a banner ad after every fifth entry.

I, too, favor a timeline where Steve and Peggy spent the ‘50s rooting out Hydra agents. The one issue with that is, in that timeline, there’s still a Steve Rogers frozen in ice. Once time-traveler Cap realizes this, he’s going to feel honor bound to find him and revive him. They’d start arguing over Peggy, but being a…

I keep misreading this headline as “Aaron Sorkin reportedly in ICE custody.”

Yeah, I’m 100% down for a wealth tax, but, “Space exploration can wait until we’ve solved our problems on Earth,” is the same as saying, “We’re never doing space exploration.”

I thought that might by Jim Morita, too, but there’s a deleted scene from the Avengers, where Steve’s looking at the records of the Howling Commandos, trying to see if any of his friends are still alive. Jim Morita is listed as having passed.

I feel that this is very clearly an ironic boob window.

I feel it’s misleading to say God cancelled this schmuck when he’s still walking around, sucking air.

If Joe Manchin is going to spike the stimulus vote unless this cut was made, what’s Joe Biden supposed to do about it? He needs Manchin’s vote, and has very little leverage over him to force him to toe the line. It sucks, but what’s the alternative? Hold the vote on the stimulus and have it fail, so nobody gets a…
