Other than Levar Burton, who seemed like such an obvious choice I don’t know how he didn’t make the list of guests hosts, the one person I’m most disappointed about not getting a shot is Andy Richter. I wouldn’t give him the job permanently, but he’s an obvious TV pro and was one of the best Celebrity Jeopardy players…

You seriously don’t think Alex Trebek ever relished showing off his intelligence? Have you somehow never heard him pronounce the word “genre” before?

Yeah, I’d agree that Evan Peters-Pietro being Mephisto creates some convoluted plot issues, though the MCU hasn’t exactly shied away from kinda-needlessly-complicated villainous schemes in the past.

You’re just saying a bunch of terms that mean the same thing as “earn” dude.

I saw somebody speculate in earlier recaps that the man and woman in the ads are probably Wanda’s parents (or more accurately, images Wanda created of her parents), and the fact that Hayword names her parents in this episode might be further indication of that.

I would imagine after that battle in Wakanda, Steve Rogers or one of the other surviving Avengers arranged for Vision’s body to be transported back to their complex in the US. The Wakandas appeared to recognize Vision as a person in his own right and would probably respect his comrades’ right to bring him home,…

Yeah, “The Avengers” as they were presented in the movies don’t exist, that hardly means there’s nobody to call. Endgame showed Natasha having regular hologram conferences with other heroes, so there’s clearly some sort of network established. The end of that film specifically shows that SmartHulk is still around and…

It’s an issue of varying importance, though I think in most movies they do a relatively passable job of waiving it away, whether it is made explicit in the script (as they do with Thor & Hulk in Civil War) or just by the premise (Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier both intentionally focus on tight timelines where their…

I would guess it’s probably something more personal relating to her mother. Maybe since Monica wasn’t able to be there when her mother died, she has some resentment that Carol wasn’t there when she could’ve been.

The implication that Pietro wasn’t brought back by Wanda (and, by extension, the idea that Wanda doesn’t control him), blended with all of the Mephisto speculation so far, leads me to guess that this Pietro might just be Mephisto pretending to be Pietro in order to insert himself more directly into Wanda’s Westview…

The whole idea that you have to EARN smashing a guitar with stage presence or whatever you think musical gravitas might be is honestly one of the most pretentious things I’ve ever heard.

Eh, let’s not give them ALL that credit - they didn’t release the report, it was leaked by an unidentified individual to a Twin Cities TV station. Though given that the report concerns sexual assault allegations and involves an underage recruit, their earlier explanation that they couldn’t release it or make public…
