    Has that ever been settled in the comics? Who’s the smartest? Reed, Doom, etc?

    I loved Majors performance. Portrayed him as a brilliant but unhinged weirdo. Has the potential to be an all time movie villain.

    Eh it’s like “who’s the strongest?”

    The answer is whoever the writer needs to be the smartest.

    I’d be willing to bet that was a Kang statue Loki saw at the end though.

    I could see the final form of Kang that the Avengers face off against is like the strongest Kang/Immortus being able to absorb all his variants.

    Strange basically becomes the most important hero in Phase 4 now.

    What if Kang is the one to corrupt Wanda? Manipulates her into fighting with him with the promise of restoring her family?

    Kang + Wanda vs Strange + Avengers.

    I thought for sure Miss Minutes gave Ravonna access to the end of time. We never see where her portal takes her when she leaves Mobius.

    I’m also curious if the portal Sylvia kicks Loki through takes him to a completely different timeline…or if it’s technically the same but Kang has already taken over.

    Is Doom a potential variant of Kang/immortus?

    I understood it to be a different timeline, one where Mobius doesn't recognize Loki (or that version of Loki)

    Timelines are weird and I’m not sure if we’re supposed to consider them alternate realities or what the difference is.

    He could still be the same Loki from that timeline but Kang has already taken over and Mobius has never found out about the TVA, doesn’t Loki isn’t a hunted variant. I guess that would make it a different timeline…

    Not exactly. The Nate Richards that is Immortus could also be a descendent of Doom.

    More so than the Infinity story, this is where they’re going to have to pick some version(s)of the comics stories and stick with it. Comics have the benefit of rewriting origins and canon over and over for decades; movies don’t get the benefit.

    MCU intelligence, Stark is amazing. Build-a-Bear told him he’s only a genius on Earth. Then, Stark secretly creates his own Gauntlet that’s able to steal the stones out of Thanos holding the stones in a gauntlet.

    But the 2014 version of Thanos doesn’t respect Stark in 2014. Thanos had complete respect of Stark in 2018.

    Yeah idk. I guess either way, it functions the same, with a memory-wiped Mobius and Hunter B-15 ready to resume their roles with the tva in season 2

    This is a good point for the main MCU thread because it’s a super underrated point of that scene. In addition to figuring out time travel in about a day, building and including the gauntlet that could handle the stones while also building one that would adapt to Hulk’s arms for the return snap…

    Doom, next to possibly only Magneto, is Marvel Comics' single most important villain. Literal 0 chance Feige messes with that.

    Plus, Tony was right in predicting Pepper was pregnant and naming her after Pepper’s eccentric uncle Morgan.

    I joke it was a day but it’s actually not clear how long it was. After the team talks to Stark the first time, they find Banner, Banner researches and builds the first attempts, before Tony shows up with it figured out. There’s potential it’s weeks or even months.

    Not to mention Tony had clearly already done a ton of research, when he started dropping all those science terms like Planck scale and Deutsch Proposition

    Looks like he was making it his daily routine to do a few experiments every night.

    I haven’t watched it yet, so I have not read this thread since Tuesday, but apparently Judge Ravonna went to law school at Ohio State.

    Saw a post on Reddit about how it was exactly how it should have ended. Sylvie wasn’t going to abandon her thousand year quest for a dude she met three days ago, and doing so would have gone completely against her character. Ending reminded me a lot of the end of His Dark Materials; brutal, but exactly right for the tone.

    Also I am 100% team “freedom and chaos” over “order without free will” even though that’s not why Sylvie did it.

    O know don't get me wrong, I fucking love the ending. It's perfect and fits her character. With that said I still wanted her and Loki to be happy together because I'm a big sappy bitch.

    Also Loki is gonna be like a super important character in the next phase. Possibly the most important character.

    I know this has been asked time and time again in other threads, but what MCU movies would you recommend someone watch before jumping into the D+ series? I have some friends I’ve finally convinced to make the commitment, but want to make sure they get the right experience, albeit scaled back from watching every movie.

    Also, would you recommend they watch the thee D+ series in their release order?

    All of them except Iron Man 3.

    Start with Avengers and watch in order, then watch TFATWS, then Wandavision, the Loki.
