    Disney+ Secret Invasion (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    Me, this bit of business doesn't bother me. But as time goes by, the less and less I care about what is or isn't "official canon", and I decide for myself what I choose to embrace or ignore.

    Disney+ Secret Invasion (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

    After my wife and I finished watching some things on TV this evening, we happened to pop onto FX, where they were showing Endgame. We happened in right at the point where Danvers enters the fight by downing Thanos's ship. Rocket shouts, "Oh, yeah!" and he's hanging off of War Machine. And then...

    One could suggest Iron Man 3, but there's only so much room on Air Force One. ;)

    ^^How does anyone know that his legs were "totally fine" in TF&TWS? Just because we don't see him wearing the braces doesn't mean he isn't. Keep in mind that in IW/EG, he's just hanging out in the Avengers compound with friends. He doesn't need to cover up his braces. In TF&TWS, he's wearing a...

    Actually, the whole time I was thinking that Sonya could've put a bullet through Skrodey's arm, and see if the arm starts turning green.

    For Ross, there's no indication. Possibly after the tag scene in Wakanda Forever. Rhodey, however, was in a hospital gown when he was rescued by Gi'ah, and had to be supported by others. Seems clear that he was grabbed while in the hospital after his injuries in Civil War. So basically, from the...

    Well, they've established that a significant number of the people whose lives they've been assuming are being kept alive and in some sort of suspension. My impression is that they are VIPs whose memories and/or knowledge they need to have keep access to. Rhodey would likely be one of them. I...

    I think Marvel has managed to write themselves into a corner with respect to this point, which is odd, given that Captain Marvel came rather late in the game. At the end of that movie, in addition to promising to find the Skrulls a home, she told Yon-Rogg to warn the Supreme Intelligence that...

    Speaking of Rhodey, did anyone happen to notice what, if anything, happened to him during the firefight? My wife and I couldn't remember seeing him get out of the car he was in, but we didn't notice if that car was taken out by one of the choppers.

    After what happened in this episode, I'm looking forward to the Battle of the Super-Skrulls.

    Without going back to rewatching every MCU film ( :D ), it seems to me that there have been times when Maria Hill has called him "Nick". I could be wrong, though.

    There's at least one real world instance where this tracks. I won't say what it is in order to keep a political argument at bay. I thinks it's part of the psychological issue, put admittedly simplistically, that those who are abused often turn into abusers themselves.

    She's too busy figuring out why she's in some teenager's bedroom. 🤨

    Which seems a bit silly. A Skrull impersonating an Avenger is one thing. But to be convincing as one, the Skrull would have to have and demonstrate that Avenger's power as well. Of course, the real reason is that Marvel isn't ready to reveal who the next group of Avengers will be, so they had...

    "Groot" was first, then "Frost Beast" (I've no idea who that's supposed to refer to), then "Cull Obsidian" (the member of Thanos's Black Order that Widow killed in Infinity Wars), and finally "Extremis". It hadn't occurred to me that the goal was to create a Super-Skrull. She's been the...

    Not quite "M". She made reference to "The Circus", which makes her part of George Smiley's world, not James Bond's. 🤨

    Agreed. Nice to see what amounts to a spy thriller coming from the MCU. We haven't had one of those since Captain America: The Winter Soldier (I don't think of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as a spy thriller).

    Two things. (1) I don't know if it's just me, but that felt more -- a lot more -- like a movie trailer than a TV series trailer. (2) For once, I'm going in pretty much "deaf, dumb, and blind". I've not read the relevant comics, so I have only a vague sense of what this storyline is about...
