Interesting. I'm a little more eager to watch S2 now.

That's a relief. I'd seen images of him on his vine throne, and had been wondering if that contradicts my idea of him refusing HWR's offer here. Glad to hear they align a little better. And in general glad you like the alternate pitch. I was debating if I would continue posting them.

What do you see as his character at the end? I never really got a good grasp of what his goals were through the series or how they might have changed at the end. He would occasionally say that he wanted to take over the TVA, but it never sounded sincere. Like, he was saying what he thought...

My ideal version of Loki (season 1) only requires a single change, but it's a bit of a doozy. What if Sylvie just simply doesn't exist? Like, at all. Instead, it's Loki who is the main driver of his own series. It would basically boil down to this: Loki gets caught and put on trial for time...

The Black Knight always triumphs!

For no reason, I was expecting them to be expanding out kind of "universes." Like the space lady and aliens seem kind of pulpy sci-fi, but this robot doesn't really fit in to that aesthetic. The price is terrible, but the lack of a promise of a growing lore is strike 2. Nothing gets me...

I'll be watching them in release order. I did consider watching in chrono order at the start, but was more interested in recreating the viewing experience. I did sneak in an early watching of Black Widow after Civil War, though. Didn't have the impact I was thinking it would. The TVA *does*...

I liked some of it. The early Red Room stuff, fer instance. I don't remember much else about it, though. I mostly remember long gaps between viewings because I wasn't really that interested. My favorite Loki bit was when Thor forced him to look at the destruction he was causing in New York...

Loki (season 1) Although not the first MCU project I had to force myself to finish (that was Agent Carter), it's worth noting that I still had to force myself to finish it. The first couple episodes were pretty good, but it had trouble keeping my interest past that. It was only six episodes...

You make a convincing argument. I haven't really tried to imagine what the world logistics would be like in the aftermath of the Snap OR the Blip, but I can at least assume the world at the Snap was able to handle 4 billion people easier than the post-Blip world could handle 8. And that's...

I don't know about "more" chaos, but definitely a lot of chaos. I feel like that "five year later" tag caused more headaches than the immediate shock value was worth. Obviously we want our heroes to steal victory back from Thanos and undo his Snap, but after that long, it just feels so...

I don't have 10 that I want, but looking at my wishlist, I can see a few easy pairings: I'd buy a new Whirlwind if he was the shirtless version and came with the era-appropriate Wasp I've been wanting since the start. Now that Phantom Rider has opened the gate, let's keep going on the Rangers...

An Alternate Falcon & the Winter There are a few minor things I would've liked to have seen done differently, but one huge change you can probably guess. This series actually came out better than I'd remembered in the rewatch. I'd initially had some ideas to replace the Flag Smashers with...

I'm pretty meh on Sharon here. I might've been surprised the first time through by the reveal that she's the Power Broker, but on second watch, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Like, why did she take Sam and Bucky to her scientist? Why did she need Sam to get her a pardon? It was cool that...

@fac, yeah, I think the worst thing to happen to the Thor franchise was the discovery that Chris Hemsworth was funny.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier Falcon was an unexpected breakout character for me in the MCU, so I was pretty excited he was getting a series. Bucky's cool too, I guess. It obviously doesn't take full advantage of the episodic TV format as WandaVision and I can easily imagine this as compacted...

If I see one more Marvel movie taking an interesting look at grief, I'll flip a desk.

Ouch. I thought this movie was beloved and I was just being my old Grumpfish self by finding it a bit mid. I'm not sure I consciously noticed this, but yes! They do feel isolated and yet somehow beloved. To be honest, that's kind of the vibe of the comics Fantastic Four, but I think in a movie...

Not sure how you're going to recreate that 6-minute segment at the end of one episode in Season 1, but you do you, I guess.

I also want to pitch my vanity project and talk about how I would've liked to have seen the Multiverse Saga develop. I'm not sure of the best format to do it in, but I did want to keep it in this thread just to keep it all contained. These aren't actually criticisms of the movies themselves...

Look at that, you're *exactly* right. She lands right before the knock on the door that introduces her in Episode 1. Same plant gift and everything. Well spotted. I'll allow that no developments were made in Westview during the Blip, and Wanda would certainly not have noticed any passage of...

I don't think so. I believe she pretty clearly says she was brought there by the Hex. She says she sensed the place by the afterglow of her spells. Then, I'm presuming, she took over Bohner's house to be her nosey neighbor and find out how she did it.

I think I'm with Rick on this. The lip needs to be...pointier? It really looks like a Cabbage Patch stitch.

I'm pretty sure I would not have enjoyed this series as much if I'd known what was happening from the start. The mysteries, clues and red herrings were all part of the fun, and I enjoyed it even more in the amount of time I spent between episodes trying to solve it. I'd even argue that you'd...

I'll defend Brie Larson's acting abilities to the ends of the Earth, but I won't defend her performance in Captain Marvel. I don't know what combination of actor or director decisions got that performance, but it was just so consistently flat. I think I liked her better in The Marvels, but I...
