So one of the Seattle Monorail trams caught fire and it was a emergency to get another tram over to rescue the folks on the first tram. I wouldn't want to be on this thing in an emergency. ^_^;;

Absolutely losing my mind over this storyline and what it could mean for the boys.

Okay, I've gotten my hands on AvenAca Infinity #25, hideously late, and now I'm analyzing the events like CRAZY.

Ik ik everyone's already zeroed in on Tommy and the powers he has otherwise never displayed, but I can't stop thinking of what he's done and said so far.

An important distinction has to be made that these twins are not the reincarnated Tommy Shepherd and Billy Kaplan. They are the souls of Tommy and Billy Maximoff, bits of Mephisto's life force cut off, reformed and then cast aside, eventually to reincarnate years before they were born. Meaning what they know and are capable of will vary greatly from their reincarnated selves, even if the base connection remains.

(The age and appearances of the incarnations of the Infinity comics interest me bc they were dissipated as infants afaik, and they both had auburn hair - except for the one time where one was blonde, but they definitely weren't ten-ish years old rocking the black and white cuts. But that's not the point right now)

Right now, I'm thinking of this version of Tommy, who so far has appeared in the MVI #8 and AvenAca Infinity #24-26. And I can't help but notice that he seems to know a lot more than Billy.

Where Billy thinks that Mephisto is after them bc "they were born bad", Tommy says to Shela that "they think only my brother is the special one". He knows that Mephisto's interest in them is that they become (are???) the Demiurge. Or some level of power that makes them desirable to capture.

Back in MVI #8, we see further links to that, when America Chavez tells them about her home realm, and Billy comments that he and Tommy could probably make something like that, only for Tommy to quickly shush him.

Am I reading too much into it, or has he put together why people might want to capture them and is trying to cover it up? Billy doesn't think much of this confession, but Tommy shuts it down fast anyway.

Moving on from the implicit, let's look at his plan when the issue opened with him suggesting they split up.

Apparently, no one they've encountered so far had the ability to notice them except for agents of Mephisto. That's why Bri scared them (and also why I think this happens before MVI bc that was not the reaction they had to Chavez). But Tommy then breaks off to double back and revive Shela, knowing she would be able to see him and help him??? I feel like the time manipulation powers played some role in that.

His monologue to comatose Shela is driving me especially insane.

The italicized "fast one" is clearly meant to be a jab at him being a speedster, but he hasn't used his speed powers in this incarnation even once! He says they all think he's silly, but I doubt the demons are the ones throwing around playground insults. He has got to be referencing the future here, as he does with Shela's capabilities, so there's more than enough evidence that he's taking a couple peeks into what lies ahead.

And once Shela's awake, his word choice is very deliberate. He jumps straight to it, and knew she would follow. More foresight? Possible, given how he felt free to monologue at length before waking her up, and then suddenly he had no time to waste.

There's a lot of interesting things here that he hints towards knowing and deliberately hiding. And what interests me most is that he doesn't tell Billy any of this. Kid's having an existential crisis at a variable but very young life stage, and dude is just. Not sharing stuff.

Or maybe he did. Maybe he tried to explain them being a Demiurge. Maybe that was what made Billy think they were born bad. And now he's being more vague to protect Billy.

It's just an interesting role to see Tommy in, as the one who knows more than the rest, the one who's taking point, when in most of his superhero career he's having to play catch up, brought into the fold too late.

There's also his reincarnated self's repeated insistence that he wasn't at all magical to take into account, since we know his old self his powers, but why would the reincarnated version? Does he have even an inkling????

Friendly, good natured reminder to the lesbians, as it looks like tonight will be a Wiccan backstory episode.

I love you, I’m with you, and Agatha x Rio will get their turn.

But Billy is a big deal, he’s headlined Marvel Pride literally every year since its inception, and it was horrific what Multiverse of Madness did to him (going from the “love is for souls not bodies” WandaVision ethos to “two of Marvel’s only queer characters exist exclusively in the imagination of the mentally ill woman we’ve now decided is homicidal and suicidal” 🙃).

He needs this moment. Wiccan x Hulkling (Wiccling), Marvel Pride & yes, Wanda—who was also blatantly character assassinated—they need this moment.

Before Jac Schaeffer has to hand them off to another writer (again).

We shouldn’t be in this position: Where Jac Schaeffer has to join the likes of Allan Heinberg, Anthony Oliveira, Tom King and Steve Orlando as Wanda’s cleanup writer in the MCU—battling Michael Waldron and Sam Raimi the way they have long done battle with misogynistic comics writers, like John Byrne and Brian Michael Bendis. Her colleagues should’ve treated WandaVision as the precious gift it was, not left her an editorial mess to clean up.

But this is where we are. Billy, Tommy & Wanda didn’t deserve to be discarded—they deserved proud legacies as representation for the women, people with mental health struggles, and queer youth who look up to them. So she’s fixing it. Then, she’ll get to the lesbians. Have a little faith and

Let her cook.

(And enjoy watching one of my all-time favorite characters step into his own!! Wiccan is a Gem 😊💙 & he supports the lesbians as much as you do, trust, lol.)

There were once supersonic passenger planes that could reach speeds of up to 1,354 mph. In comparison, today’s commercial airliners typically cruise at around 560 mph.
