it's really interesting to think what the avengers would look like after that and i hope they explore that. obviously you got cap and captain marvel, but you lose a lot of intelligence with tony and bruce gone and hank as a bad guy. until wakanda gets in the mix with shurri at least.


This is actually a really interesting idea.

No Bruce or Tony means no vision.
Loki not being defeated means hydra never gets the scepter means no Wanda or quicksilver.
No avengers potentially means no zemo means no bombing means no black panther (at this time)
No access to Wakanda means no rehabilitated bucky
No Tony potentially means no recruitment of Spider-Man
No Tony means no suit for pepper
No hank pym means no antman or wasp

So the lineup might be cap, captain marvel, war machine (equipped with hammer tech), and agent 13 (won't turn if civil war doesn't happen).

Typing on phone. Please forgive grammar, etc.

Maybe it winds up with a "good guy" Ivan Vanko and Darren Cross switching roles to try and stop crazy Hank Pym the way they had Lex Luthor as the American hero trying to stop Superman in Red Son

Cap and Spidey share some cool moments in the comics, so maybe he still gets recruited.

I wanted Black Widow to say "Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?" inside the truck before beating everyone up.

Also, SHIELD would recruit Spider-Man if Stark doesn't, he'd still be an Avenger. Dr. Strange too.

Wonder how much of that will be a prelude to what to expect in Spider-Man? Arrogance of Dr Strange, maybe a split in the timeline like the Ancient One did...

I'm always pleasantly surprised by the voice talent each week.

Wow that was dark but a captivating story. I've enjoyed all episodes so far. I think my favorite is 2nd one where T'Challa becomes Star Lord.

Wow, that was overwhelming.

Watching him lose Christine over and over again was really painful viewing. I think we all probably can put our finger on that one moment that we wish we could go back in time and reverse, but to see it play out the same over and over again no matter what was just tragic.

When he started absorbing the bigger and bigger alien presences, and taking on their forms, I was really reminded of the the end of "Animal Farm" when the other animals look through the window and realize they can't tell the difference between the pigs and the men.

Definitely feel like some of that dialogue is a bridge to his role in Spiderman 3, mentioning that he's always trying to fix everything.

Him sensing the Watcher earlier gave me an amazing vibe of A Song of Ice and Fire in the scene where Bran has warged into the heart tree at Winterfell in the past and sees his father, and Ned senses a presence enough to call out.

I don't think I've ever felt that sort of dread and grief from a Marvel production before. What an effort.

Dr. Strange : "I messed everything up, can you save me in the last two minutes so that the universe doesn't implode?"

I'll be honest: I haven't been very thrilled by this series. It's been okay, but just not very memorable. The Captain Carter premiere was pretty good. I really disliked the T'Challa is Starlord episode. I mean....really disliked it. The Avengers one was the best of those first three.

But this last one? Oh my God, now THAT is what this show should be! This was pretty much a Marvel's Twilight Zone episode. Everything about this one just clicked in ways I don't think most of the first ones did.

That episode gave me hope for the rest of the season.

I have the same feelings for this series thus far. First was pretty good, second was not good at all, and this last one was awesome.

Ha. Guess I'm the outlier on this one. I did not enjoy the Strange episode. Not because it was dark; I just thought it was kind of a mess.

Was surprised that was really Cumberbatch's voice. It sounded like someone impersonating him.

Props to Marvel for actually going that dark on this though.

The best part of this series is it offers something for everyone because the episodes have so much range in the types of stories they tell.
Thanks and gig'em

This one felt the most like the best of the comic series. Just a downer ending with the Watcher being in full dick-mode while telling us how bad the protagonist was.

Strange destroyed an entire universe to selfishly allow one other person to live just because he thought he loved her. He literally spent thousands of years killing other creatures and taking their life force to do it. He was evil. I have no problem with what the watcher did.
