The aspect of Spidey in Civil War that everyone seems to forget is that he was the "viewpoint" character, and he switched sides once he realized Tony was in the wrong. That's the real impact he had on the story, not the unmasking. If anything, the unmasking only affected Peter's solo storyline afterward (and then only briefly).

If the entire movie were just Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Drax I'd agree.

Oh, I misunderstood what was being said. I can't agree at all with Thor 2 being the worst. (Or Iron Man 3) It lacked a sense of character importance beyond the Loki stuff and Frigga's death, but it was still good for what it was. Iron Man 2 and Thor 1 didn't even do what they were trying to do properly. But can we all agree that The Winter Soldier is the best, at least?

I think I still rank Iron Man 2 above Thor, though. After watching every MCU movie at least three times, Thor is the only one I can't stand to watch ever again. Iron Man 2 is dumb but at least it has somewhat of a sense of humor about itself.

Gonna be tough, but I'm gonna try to avoid looking at that until I actually get to it in the show. Isn't he blind? How does he even know what color it is unless someone tells him? New headcanon: is that why he wore the yellow suit in the comics for so long? No one told him what he was wearing?

Abso-friggin-lutely. The post-credits scene shouldn't be required viewing for the movie itself. But then again, that might have been a last-minute reshoot. Natalie Portman wasn't even on set for that; the girl Hemsworth is kissing is his own wife wearing a wig. Which is probably why it's the best kiss Thor and Jane have ever had.

Dude, we've all been shipping you and Adham for like half a decade. Where have you been?

I like the shawarma scene more than just about any of the other post-credits scenes, and I'm pretty sure it's the fan favorite as well. It worked super-well because it played against every other Marvel post-credits scene. A super-pretentious tease for the next movie? Nah. Just a completely random/useless shot of the greatest superheroes on Earth eating cheesy meat burritos.

Some other whispers are saying it's going on without him.

^That, mostly. I give the actors an A+, but I really didn't like the movie itself. I kinda felt like the "character" that is the cameraman/writer/editor of Birdman was basically the same as Edward Norton's character: sometimes brilliant, but also a colossal douchebag with an ego the size of Antartica.

No joke, I was rewatching the first half of season 2 today and I had the exact same thought. The funny thing is that when it was originally airing, it didn't stand out much at all because no one had any idea it was leading to The Flash. It was just a weirdly reoccurring detail that everyone forgot about.

Unless it's a story that just doesn't use those characters.

This entire episode, followed by the "this season on The Flash" preview at the end:

Yeah, it's been hinted at (all but outright said) by producers and actors. The ramifications thereof are to be determined, but certainly it would be an easy way to suddenly have Superman out in public as opposed to now where people are still having trouble believing that super powers exist.

^That, yes. He can literally see into the future, so if he were to get caught at some point in the near future, he'd know about it. But then of course, Barry can alter time, so he may be a bit of a blind spot for Wells.

And we're almost guaranteed that there will be some kind of universe reset toward the end of Flash season 1, a la Flashpoint. Some have theorized that that's how Superman and Supergirl will suddenly exist in the TV universe; something Flash does in the past slightly reboots everything.

That almost strikes me as less anti-video game and more anti-parent.

I wasn't being snarky at you, at least no moreso than at everyone, including myself. I haven't gone and watched his backlog either; I have too much Power Rangers and Smallville to rewatch.

Kind of? He seems like he definitely has potential, but we haven't really seen enough to know if he'll make a good host. I actually kind of hate the "Jon turns to the left and talks to a correspondent" segments just because it's painfully obvious that the correspondents are being asked to play "characters" and read over-the-top lines word for word while Jon kind of sits there and watches. The only way I think we'll have a good idea if he'll make a good host is to wait and see if he makes a good host. Or I guess we could go and watch his backlog of comedy, including stand-up as well as all those times he hosted his own talk shows, but that would be work, so... yeah.

Apparently NBC wants the producers to pitch them on a new idea for season 2. So they might have not actually cancelled it yet.

I liked the look of the Thing in the previous movies, but if we're being real for a minute here, he did kind of look more soft and "human" than a lot of depictions of the Thing. And yes, when he moved it was pretty clearly a foam/rubber costume that squished and stretched. Actually making Thing a tad bit less human-looking is a good way to make this version different while still totally accurate to the character.

If they progress to the 90s in the next movie, we'll already have Cyclops, Jean Grey, Jubilee, Storm, and Beast—we're only a few members away from an X-Men: The Animated Series live-action movie.

I kind of wonder if there's a chance that Spielberg (who helped define 80s pop culture) might end up helping the movie a lot. He could probably convince a lot of the rights holders to let their stuff be used, too.

It hurt him emotionally. Do we have any guidelines about spoiler tags after an episode has aired? It's kinda silly how we're all spoilering our entire posts.

He'd make a rad Klingon commander.
