“editor’s note: more than 600,000 Americans died in the Civil War”

Disagree with the editor.  The first figure was the accurate one.

It only now just occurred to me that given his “what the?” cameo at Tony’s funeral in Endgame, it could be Harley. Makes sense that he would have gone into aerospace engineering.

(I also do think it could be Reed, though.)

“But he really lost me with the “which one of you is the sassy best friend” comment.”

Whatever else aside, I loved that the show immediately had Jimmy step up after that line, making it perfectly clear that he’s the sassy best friend.

Yeah, after this episode I think the casting is more of a stunt, but that he’s a genuine Pietro. Just not the MCU one or the Fox one.  She yanked a Pietro from a universe right next door that was just a little bit different.

Yeah, I’m leaning toward him being a Pietro, but not necessarily the Fox X-Men Pietro (Peter).  He could be from the proverbial “universe next door” where it’s almost like the MCU’s but slightly different, rather than the completely different Fox continuity.

I do wonder if maybe he put in a word with Disney, such as “get her the fuck out of here” or something along those lines.

Sadly, I am not.  But I’ll also dig it out again at some point, because when we’re able to have parties again someday I had discovered that it was awesome to just set it up in a room with Mario Kart 8 and tell all the kids at the party “go in there.”  They would, they’d have a ball, and the grownups would be left to…

My feeling was always that 3D World really did take the best elements of the 2D and 3D Marios and combine them perfectly.

Literally waiting for it since the day I bought the system, partially because I am one of the few who had the Wii U and wanted the rest of the world to actually get to experience this truly great game.  Also because I can now finally put the Wii U into full storage for good.

“and the fact that I’m really not that good at platformers, small frustrations like in the article would easily render this unplayable for me.”

My kids were in the 4-7 range for the Wii U version and made their ways through it just fine, with the occasional boost from dad. You’ll be just fine too.

Same here, and with the added bonus that it’s incredibly family-friendly, the “bubble” mechanic working to make it an absolute blast to play with littler kids.  I would say that Mario Odyssey did improve his movements overall, but that’s not a knock on 3DWorld in any way.  

I think the “Sentient Weapons” etc. would have viewed him as weaponized in the first place, and what they were likely trying to do was duplicate him (without the pesky “personality” and “morals” and whatnot).

Yeah, I don’t know how they’ll phrase it, but it sure seems like a version of the “no more mutants” moment is coming.

Can’t spell Hayward without Aw, Hydra, after all.

As someone else further up (or maybe on a different article, who can keep track) posted, in the second FFH stinger we see Fury walk past a monitor that clearly has a large hexagon among the information displayed.

“Which wouldn’t be a big deal, except that Disney plus doesn’t allow me to auto forward the credits like my Neflix does, which means that I have to get up out of my chair to advance to the next episode.”

Seriously, what?

that’s interesting, and very plausible, since her reaction did definitely stand out even beyond the bare dialogue.

On the other hand, everything - EVERYTHING - would have been in total disarray right after the Snap, especially Wakanda, so it’s plausible.

It’s okay to strut - among my RL friends I predicted that SWORD was going to be revealed to have had Vision’s corpse (because “Sentient Weapon” is exactly what they’d view him as) and that Wanda had found this out, ripped in there to grab him, and fled to Westview.  Gotta take the 1 time you call it correctly against…

Wow, great catch!  God damn, the planning they do is impressive.
