Since the dndads world and the VGHS world may or may not be the same, there may be a time line where Glenn beats Freddie up and adopts ted.

I don't usually use tumblr all that much, but for the last few days i've been going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole that is analyzing S7E3 of Rick and Morty, so yo girl's here to talk about it (mostly about Rick and Unity).

In S7E3 of Rick and Morty 'Air Force Wong' Unity assimilates the entire state of Virginia with the argument that it is worried for Rick's well being.

however, what pissed me off is when Dr.Wong sided with Unity: "Alright, I'm gonna commit a cardinal sin in couple's therapy here, but Rick, i think you're wrong." I do not understand this in the slightest. Sure, Rick ghosted Unity, but in his defense, he was dumped which took a toll on him, leading up to him attempting suicide, so of course he wouldn't want it around him, and that's understandable.

Unity broke a boundary, invaded Rick's home planet, home country with the only excuse that it was worried for him. Rick had every right to stop talking to it, however Dr.Wong did NOT have the whole story and she shouldn't have butted in. This we could partially blame Rick, because he did not fill Dr.Wong in fully before having that conversation, which HE requested for her to be a part of in the first place.

"You controlling things is the explanation, and we agreed you wouldn't do it where i work." This is yet another solid proof on how Unity broke Rick's boundaries, this probably being something they agreed on in the past. In some situations, boundaries CAN be broken if it's an intervention or emergency, this, in my humble opinion, WAS NOT an emergency.

"You had an outer space lady who was worried for your life and your response was hostile enough to cause a huge problem." I hate everything about this. This is borderline hypocritical, considering that Unity did something just as drastic if not MORE drastic, yet Rick is the one taking all the flame for it, for not wanting it around him. So, basically, he was being flamed for putting up a boundary (not in a very appropriate way, but it's a big deal for him to do it in the first place). Unity is at fault for making Rick react the way he did, which in my opinion, wasn't as drastic as Dr.Wong makes it out to be. His hostile reaction was understandable, to the drastic measure Unity has enforced. It did not need to go through all that trouble just to try to contact Rick, when clearly he did not want want it to.

Another thing i noticed is when Unity finished releasing everyone, how the tables have turned from:

u:"Do you not trust me, Rick?" r:"I don't trust you."

to..

r:"I trust you now." u:"That's nice, but i don't trust you."

This is honestly something i only noticed as i was writing this, and it hits HARD. As much as Unity is biased for not trusting Rick, so was he when he didn't trust it. They both have very valid points as to why not to trust one another.

So, to conclude this very first, EXTREMELY MESSY post, Unity should've dialed it back a couple of notches, Rick should've been more open about his part with it, and Wong should've stayed in her place. Both Rick and Unity have a lot of things to unpack, and until either of them are willing to sit down and talk, they'll never be able to work it out.

Thank you for humoring me :D

Okay, rant incoming, because I love this so much and never talked about it here; the real world implications of Benedict sitting in those interviews and knowing, but if he reveals any of the plan, it would inevitably fail---

Giving Ben the full script literally was the only way for him to truly become Doctor Strange in those movies. And you can tell, because there's scenes where the actors are so confused, and it makes sense because the characters are in way over their heads and don't have enough information about what's going on.

But every single scene of Stephen after he looks through the timelines is acted so perfectly. He knows. We know he knows. The other characters know he knows. Tony knows he knows.

Tony's sacrifice works so perfectly because he knew that Stephen knew. Because he felt that shift in attitude, realised that Stephen ended the fight the moment it threatened Tony's life and not a second earlier. The eye contact in the final battle, Stephen's signal. Tony knows Stephen is sending him to his death. And Tony goes anyway. And Stephen let's him, because that is the cost to protect all those lives, half of all existence.

It's brilliant. Benedict knowing the full script because his character is the only person to know how it all ends. And RDJ getting the full script because Tony is intelligent and watches Stephen's reactions and figures it out. Tony has been waiting for his ultimate sacrifice since 2012. He doesn't particularly want to, but he's ready. Protect the people he loves, no matter what.

Additionally:

I like to think Benedict Cumberbatch had a sit down with Benedict Wong sometime during filming and gave him an outline for the final battle. Because the movie clearly implies Wong organised the battle for earth on Stephen's behalf, so he must have known at least parts of it, and the only way for that to happen would have been for Stephen to telepathically communicate with Wong while he was waiting for Thanos on Titan.

The way Benny Wong acts his scene with Stephen before the battle makes me feel that they at least been vaguely talked about it and what must have happened on Wong's end during the 5 years. I feel it's very deliberate that we see nothing of Wong after the initial confrontation all up to the final battle. Because if we had seen him, we would have known that he acts on at least some form of plan, which would have clued us in on the fact that there was a plan, while our hearts were supposed to ache with the Avengers as they were running out hope.

The way they maneuvered Stephen, Tony and Wong in these scenes is nothing but brilliant. And the fact that most people credit the final battle to Stephen instead of Wong tells me that it worked. The Sorcerers act in the background, do the things that have to be done. They don't want to be known, Stephen is just the necessary outlier because they need a point to connect with the outside world.

It makes me sad again how they handled Kamar-Taj in DS2 (Wanda should have never known where it is, and even if she found it through some advanced magic tricks it should never have been so easy to breach and destroy). But the decision to make Wong Sorcerer Supreme after he spent five years masterminding a battle with all the world's finest was the best they ever made. He is a connecting point too now. And still people don't know him for who he is. Because that's how he wants it. If he met with Okoye or the like, they'd probably know him, he must have communicated with them when he explained the plan for the final battle. But individuals? No. Nada. He won't hide that he's a sorcerer if he has to fight, but he also won't reveal his station for no reason.

(I am going to ignore the implications She-Hulk made with the damn LinkedIn profile or whatever. It is a fun gag, sure, but it makes no sense whatsoever. And if I was an average person in the world of the MCU I'd probably think it's a joke right up until I met the man.)

To sum it up: IW/EG were a stroke of genius. I'm not expecting we ever get something this amazing again.

I constantly think about the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch was the only actor who was trusted with the full script of Infinity War and Endgame, not only because he is an amazing and prestigious actor, but also because of the importance of his role.

Doctor Strange was the only one who knew what should be done to avert Thanos’ snap.

He knew their first plan on Titan would fail. And yet he tried all the same with the same determination.

He knew Peter Quill would mess up with their attempt to stop Thanos. And yet he let it happen.

He knew he would have to hand the Time Stone, a precious artifact trusted to him by his beloved mentor.

He knew Thanos would succeed, wiping half of the universe. The same universe he swore to protect.

He knew he was going to become dust. He embraced death way before Death herself showed up as a test for him to overcome his physical limits.

He knew he would have to trust the remaining heroes so he could come back, which is incredible already because this is not something Stephen usually does. He hates not being in control.

And finally, he knew who was going to die in the process, being forced to live with all the guilt this knowledge could bring.

Stephen might not have the most important role, but he was above everyone else. And no other hero, stronger or not, was in the same league. Because he’s not just a hero. He’s something more.

And in the end, I’m not disappointed that he isn’t recognized as he should. Because it’s precisely what he does. He protects people from threats they can’t see. He’s not out there, being visible for spotlight. He’s always occult, hidden, because while noble heroes such as the Avengers are fighting in the light, he’s the one in the shadows. He’s the one who protects people when there’s only darkness. And that says a lot about what kind of hero he is. 

I couldn’t be prouder.
