He has said in the past that “state tyranny” should be used to stop people from having casual sex.

Off the top of my head, I only know one same-sex couple where there was a name change, with one wife taking the other’s last name. I’m not sure why they made that choice, though part of me wonders if there was an element of, like...... ingrained heternomativity to it, since it was a femme woman taking her much more…

Reminds me, my fiance grew up in one of those crazy-ass Pentacostal churches where guys intentionally let big poisonous snakes bite them to show the True Power of Faith. I wonder if some of these blood magic weirdos will try that one next?

On a related note, many old curative mineral springs contain naturally high levels of lithium salts, which are effective mood stabilizers. People would bath in the water, or drink it, and it would help their emotional troubles.

I don’t know if they’re starving, but the sanctions are hurting them. I think the goal of the whole thing for Putin was to get someone elected POTUS who would repeal or ignore the sanctions.

I love the idea of a dark fairytale version. There’s a lot of weird old Celtic mythical stuff they could mine for inspiration.

I think they became the weapon of choice for female characters because RPG designers who came up with that trope thought it made more sense to keep the chicks on the edge of the battlefield. Like, “we want a chick in this game, and our classes are ‘knight with sword and shield’, ‘brawler in heavy armor and a giant…

So this is pre-eyepatch? Interesting. Also, I wonder what the motion-capture dots on his forehead are for? Maybe so they can CGI his face to look younger? ;)

While a corset is pretty impractical for fighting in, she does have incredible magical powers to protect her. She’s not fighting hand-to-hand like Black Widow, who definitely needs some athletic support and armor. If anyone could make a skimpy outfit work, it’d be Wanda. But then on the othe rhand, she also does seem…

It wouldn’t be quite as big a contrast, that’s true. But I do love the idea of a Young Avengers movie, and he’d be a great character for that. We already have Cassie in the MCU, and maybe Shuri could bankroll the team and do the tech stuff (some combo of Kate Bishop and Iron Lad I guess).

We don’t have any idea how it works, so who knows. But my guess is he that he’d only call her for really huge, world-ending scenarios - basically, the Avengers movies. And maybe not even for Ultron, since he was just smashing up Sokovia at that point, which would’ve been thousands or millions dead but not, like, the…

Yeah, I’m hoping they get reborn. They could do a whole storyline loosely based on Kieron Gillen’s “Journey Into Mystery” series, with reincarnated little Loki (and maybe little Heimdall as well, though he doesn’t need redemption) finding redemption and having weird adventures and ultimately joining up with the future…

I got the impression that Vision was sneaking away from Avengers HQ to meet Wanda, who was sneaking away from the Secret Avengers and wherever they’re hanging out at. I think when he was talking about not going back, he was thinking about defecting and joining the Secret Avengers to be with her. But he hadn’t done…

Or maybe he did use the pager before, but because she was so far away, the Avengers saved the day while she was still en route, so he cancelled the call.

Maybe because Thanos is a psychopath, and Gamora was right there and convenient.

I think the good guys, being both smart and compassionate, will find a way around that, if it’s even required of them. For example, maybe a restored Vision (backed up from Shuri’s save file) will sacrifice his memories of loving Wanda.

In the comics it was in Oklahoma, then later in the middle of the Hudson River IIRC.

Didn’t Red Skull say something they love? Maybe Vision could sacrifice his memories of his relationship with Wanda, or Thor sacrifices his claim to the throne of Asgard, or something, not literally committing human sacrifice.

What I want is a Journey Into Mystery movie. Thor and Valkyrie and a reincarnated bb!Loki finding a new home for the Asgardians or something.

I doubt they all will, since Widow’s supposed to have a movie in the works. But I think Tony will, and maybe Cap. The big 2.
