#Avengers Endgame Spoilers

___excerpt____

Doc: Look, you've gotta nurture friendships.  I am the only person you have called all week.    That is so sad

- (THUDS)

You're alone

You're a hundred years old.

You have no history, no family...

Bucky: Are you lasshing out at me, Doc?  Because that's really unprofessional, you know.

____End excerpt___

This scene!!!

Don't know if someone else already wrote about this...but...

Really?  And people are still okay with Steve leaving, with the end of Endgame.  This makes what Steve did, so much worse…. I know it’s not Steve’s responsibility to heal Bucky or to be part of his therapy but that piece right there, says everything.

“You’re alone”

Thanks for reminding him.  He is alone…. His family is dead, his friend left him, and he has no one.  Everyone still sees him as the Soviet Assassin, as the unstable man who killed people in cold blood.  The killer.  No one sees the Brooklyn boy who followed the scrawny blonde.  No one sees the man that was drafted, which was called into a war he didn’t want to do in the first place.  No one sees the broken man, the man desperate for some kind of peace.  The only person, the only link he had was Steve and he decided to leave him, in a time, the world was still in turmoil, the world was stilly trying to pick up the broken pieces.

“You're a hundred years old.”

He is not only the man out of time, but the man who is trying to figure out who he is.  To come to terms with what he has done, what he was made to do.

"You have no history."

He has, he had.  He was a man who took care of his family, who took care of Steve, a man who was drafted.  He was a good soldier who took care of his men before Steve showed up.  He was a man, tied to a table in Azzano, experimented on and turned into something, and someone he had no control over.  He had a history that wasn’t fighting and murder. 

He also has the history of the Winter Soldier. It’s not a history he wanted or would have chosen. It was one that was forced upon him. 

He has a history, but he didn’t choose it. 

Then from what we know, this happened a few weeks after Endgame.  He made no attempt to contact anyone, and no one attempted to contact him, except Sam.  He has 10 numbers… one is Same, one is the doctor.  That leaves 8.  Who is that 8?  Is one of them Steve?  Did no one tried to contact him?  Not even Steve?  He didn’t even try to contact Steve!  He ignores Sam….

Eugh… I hate this scene.

so theres this story where after a series of adventures and saving the world a team of heroes has to once again save the world (the whole universe actually), but in order to do so they have to go around and collect multiple colorful stones. However in order to actually be able to correct the universe, it turns out that one of them will have to give their life in order to do so. Two of the heroes ending up physically fighting each other to stop the other from sacrificing themself. Eventually one of them manages to trap the other from being able to move, and is able to sacrifice themself.

Am I talking about Lego Monkie Kid season 5 or Avengers Endgame?

STOP

[eropandasennin]

How it feels when Hogwarts Legacy is about to come out, thinking it will be everything people will talk about for the next few weeks but then Nintendo drops new trailers for Tears of The Kingdom, Pikmin 4 and Splatoon 3 DLC about Pearl and Marina:

[scoobycool9]

Today is the day...

Iron Man is dead. RIP Tony Stark!

[nospacesapparently]

If Deadpool and Spiderman ever interact in the MCU, I bet Tony will raise from his grave to put a stop to that shit real fast

The moment just before Tony Stark snapped his fingers

This crossover is everything. I can’t wait for Jester to try and convert Fearne to the traveler. I can’t wait for Fjord to find out Orym was given an exalted sword from the wildmother and he’s not even a paladin. I can’t wait for a single battle with 15 initiatives where Liam simultaneously goes first and last.

Spider-Man Read-Through 011: Welcome to 1970! (ASM 83-87)

MASTERPOST

The last time, we finished the sixties and entered the seventies. I don't know anything about the next three years, and then I have ample familiarity for the three years after that. Very happy to delve again in new material!

In this post, we see a new costume (but for whom?), a sidekick (but whomst?) and Spidey's biggest, most ferocious enemy.

It's a doozy!

Unfortunately, Stan Lee doesn't seem to be able to let go from the Kingpin, who's a constant hamper on my enjoyment of these arcs. Someone's out there to replace him (new super-villain called "The Schemer") but I'm sure the Kingpin will quickly see red...

However, we're once again talking about the mysterious lady driver! I still wonder who she is, I never actually got an answer.

And she's here! Vanessa! So she's definitely his wife. Huh! And she drops a bombshell that actually made my mouth gape: their son has disappeared! I didn't expect that. I'm already invested in that. Hell yeah. Vanessa's convinced Richard is dead, but I'm not so sure.

What also made me gasp was this! Flash's leaving and I'm sad, but then MJ *and* Gwen kiss him, because of course they do!

Another gasp-inducing happening is that Peter on-page questions the Vietnam War. Didn't expect that!

He's also recently been on the verge to reveal his secret to Gwen, but of course he's not gonna do it. This issue is very interesting as to how much of a reaction it is to the reader's letters: a lot of soap, the secret tease...

But Peter and Gwen get almost hit by a car and Gwen falls unconscious, because she's a girl.

For the second time in a short number of issues, Spidey jokes about a villain getting his lines from a shlocky manual. The MCU certainly didn't invent that type of quips (but seeing Spidey be so self-aware feels a bit wrong, like, come on, Stan, you don't get to be high and mighty about your usual dialogue).

The Schemer escapes Spidey's wrath after trying to use comically specific traps. But Gwen does her usual "oh, I don't know if I can love you ever again" shtick and we all frown, because "you were away when I woke up in the hospital" is certainly a reach. Meanwhile, I'm more certain than ever that her dad will guess Peter's identity.

Overall a nice issue! I always like me some soap.

In the letters, Jean Laidig sets themselves apart by suggesting giving powers not to May, but to Gwen! I hope you enjoyed Into the Spider-Verse, buddy. People also keep praising the Prowler.

At the beginning of issue 84, Spidey surmises that now, the Schemer's capture is worth 5000 dollars and is worth it... in today's money, it's a bit less than 39.000 dollars. Good grief.

Peter goes to the Stacys, but is quickly trapped between the father and the daughter, who keep asking him questions. Whoops.

The Kingpin is now also convinced that his son killed himself because he's seen news about his dad being a supervillain. Hm. That makes the Kingpin a more interesting character, but I think Richard would actually be a great character if he was still alive. I'm hoping he is.

And I actually think... he might be?

At one point in the issue, Vanessa tries to stop the Kingpin and the Schemer from fighting, but she sees something in the Schemer's eyes and next thing you know, they both disappeared. The next issue is supposed to reveal the Schemer's secret. So he does have one. Is he Richard aged up? What the hell's going on?

In the letters, Bruce Long informs everyone that Peter should be exempt from draft because his dad was in the CIA and Peter's his only child. Actually interesting!

Peter gets surprised once again by the Stacys, but they once again let themselves be fooled by his theater kid energy. And fool them, he does, by acting as if he had issues with Spider-Man. Good thinking, kid!

Turns out the reward I mentioned higher was bogus, since it was actually a trap set up by the Kingpin.

AND IT TURNS OUT I WAS (mostly) RIGHT! The Schemer *is* Richard! He just made a mask. Hell yeah. Now it makes sense, why his villain antics seemed so awkward.

Unfortunately for the Kingpin, his son's reveal shocks him so bad he becomes catatonic. Hopefully we don't see him for a few issues... although he finally got interesting! Now give me more of Richard, dammit!

It's a really good ending to the arc though.

But wait, about the next issues...

HELL YEAH.

Reminds me of this meme:

A female copy? Really? Huh. Anyway!

Natasha, kill him! Rip him in half!

What I didn't account for, however, was Natasha immediately recounting her backstory and mentioning her "hopeless" romance with Hawkeye. Uh oh, this combined with the previous meme is quite awkward. I mean, I'm laughing, but oops.

Natasha changes her costume because, in the words of one of Totally Spies's openings, "you have to be fashionable if you want to be a spy". I actually prefered her previous costume, it was quite elegant, but oh well. So Natasha considers that, since she has the same powers as Peter (no she doesn't), she has to fight him to be in the spotlight. Oof.

Her fighting style is pretty close to the Tarantula we'll see in a few years! That's nice. She also says Spidey must have been "born this way", which is proof that he's queer. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

She gives up on page 18, and Stan helpfully informs us that Black Widow is about to get her monthly magazine. Thanks, Stanny dear, I'd never have guessed!

This issue's a nice change of pace. i'd be interested to check out BW's adventures! So Stan succeeded, I guess. If anybody has a specific arc to recommend...

Great letter, finally something new!

Predictably though, Keith Stern asks for less love and more action. Can't satisfy everyone now, can you? Joe Sykora is happy that #82 was at least 100 panels (he counted 124).

Ooooh! I mean, it can only be Captain Stacy, right?

Pete wants to analyze his blood to see if his powers are disappearing, but he can't focus - and Dr. Connors is in Florida. To make matters worse, it's also Gwen's birthday, teased multiple times throughout this arc (this is the fourth mention, by my count).

SO PETER STEALS A NECKLACE FOR HER.

At Gwen's party, I'm saddened to witness a terrible fact:

Harry's outfits have become less fun. I miss what he had before! Also, apparently Randy and his boyfriend Josh are here too! Why not.

Peter's actually lost his mind, because he crashes the party just as it was ending.

I was shook.

I think we can definitely say that Peter is being whumped, and to great effects! We love to see it.

Oh this is delightful.

MJ: Wow, Gwendy, you sure can pick 'em! He's either a masked menace or a psycho case!

We love bitchy MJ in this house.

Turns out what actually hampered Peter's wellbeing these last issues was the flu! Peter does nothing to beat the "men are weak" allegations (I can confirm, I'm a baby when I get sick, although my gender is. essentially non-existent. but let's not talk about that).

AND THEN OH MY FUCKING GOD. HE'S BACK. HE'S FUCKING BACK. MY MAN HOBIE BROWN IS BACK. I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't check when and if he'd be back! Oh my God, oh my God!!!!!!!

No, you don't get it. I'm ecstatic! A TEAM-UP? I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE. HOBIE AS A SIDEKICK? Even as just a five-pages event, I love it! Oh my fucking god, YES!!!!!

This issue is fantastic and I can't understate how joyous I am of seeing Hobie again, after so many years not knowing what would happen to him! Aaah I love it.

In the letters... Well.

So relatable, Alan.

This concludes today's very enjoyable batch!

Anybody read that wrong?

[holyblanchett]

I can't believe this is a real post from Marvel Studios. Whoever is running this account you deserve a pay raise.

[idkimboredrnsodoomscroll]

I need to read a fic where it’s just Thanos and Agatha being petty bitches over the fact that they both like Death and they have a whole fight and Agatha destroys him and all the Avengers are like wtf and while this is happening Wade is just sitting in a lawn chair with sunglasses on sipping on lemonade while just making the moste out of pocket and stupid pick up lines to Rio.

And then in the end Thanos is like “but I wiped half the population for you baby” and Rio is like “bitch you didn’t kill them, just zapped them out of existence and now they’re back. Agatha on the other hand sunk the Titanic and started the Hindenburg fire just for me, that’s real romance” then they kiss and skip off into the sunset holding hands. And the Avengers are like WTF. Then Wade sighs gets of from his lawn chair and says “maybe they’ll be down for a thresome” and just slowly follows them into the sunset. (Knowing those lesbian bitches will never let it happen).

The end

[ircn-dad]

Since Marvel decided to broke us all with Rhodey's story, I decided to ruin myself -and every single person who's reading this- even more.

Rhodey looked at the sky to see if Tony, with the Iron Man suit, was up there and if he was coming for him.
