Really don't like the idea of a new character being introduced this late in the game that is pivotal to defeating Thanos.

---

which is why it would be hilarious if she got dusted in the Capt Marvel post credit scene. so much buildup and excitement, then NOPE, it's up to the OG's. Unless they go back to the 90s and pick her up

I've said it before, but if she comes in and saves the day, that will be a huge letdown and will cause an unsatisfactory ending to what has been a great story. I don't mind her playing a big part in the outcome, but having this ultra powerful and pretty new character come in and defeat the big bad villain that nobody else can defeat will make everything else seem pointless.

---

I agree... I think Marvel is smart enough to know this and use it to springboard her as the face moving forward. She'll be involved and have a major role, but ultimately Thanos is going down by the OG's and primarily Thor, Cap, and Tony in that order (Tony being the most important/one who will get the final blow).

---

No Hulk?

I don't think Steve gets a final blow. He gets to sacrifice himself.

I agree with that, and probably seeing Cap die will give Tony the motivation.

Hulk will be there for sure and have his moment... But I think you've got the original Avengers all playing a part, but ultimately it's anchored by the "Big 3"

I've seen variations of this theory posted on reddit several times. Seems to be an obvious conclusion, but is a little bit of a cop out since it's already been done before.

So he created a time loop, and everyone is in a quantum realm. Problem is thanks has the time stone. Gonna have to beat him to get everyone back

I'm saying that making a time loop is a cop out, b/c that was used just a year or two earlier to defeat a potentially even bigger threat (since Dormammu exists outside of space and time).

I feel like using another time loop would be lazy writing. I have no problem with them having a time travel element to A4, it just needs to be handled in another manner. I do think that Strange did something, i just have no idea what.

One thing that i had noticed is that when Thanos rewinds Vision, the time stone makes the same glyph symbol that it did when strange used it. so maybe Strange did put a spell on it. the reason that sticks out to me, is because it looks like the orange shield glyphs that strange and wong conjure up, just green. Why would they be so similar if they weren't linked somehow?

Thematically, strange's shield are similar to the stone's activation. I assumed it was b/c the Time stone was being used in conjunction with a spell, and not necessarily the stone's native function. I.e. for the time loop against Dormammu, strange could cast a spell that says "when stone wearer dies, have stone revert to DD:MM:YYYY:HH:MM"

I could see Captain Marvel acting as a guide to help progress plot points along. She could be a sort of Virgil guiding the OG. It's set her up for the future without diminishing the OG too much.

Just a note on Iron Fist s2, I know there weren't many fans of s1 but this one is definitely worth checking out. I'm three episodes in and it is leaps and bounds better than the first season.

I'm about at the same point in the season, really enjoying it.

I might have to come back to the Netflix MCU if it really is that good. I didn't even get around to watching Jessica Jones S2, Luke Cage S2, and it was a struggle to get through Punisher S1.

JJ2 and LC 2 were both just... boring, and WAY too long.

JJ2 was a miserable show. Yes, the first season was something of a downer, but there were bright spots. Season 2 was just miserable slogging through it.

LC2 followed from a bi-poplar 1st season. A great first half, a ridiculous 2nd half. Season 2 is more like the 2nd half of S1 than the first.

I'm done with the Netflix MCU except for Daredevil. He's the only character I care about.

everybody who knows stuff knows that Squirrel Girl will the one to defeat Thanos.

Also, how bad is the New Warriors tv show that even Freeform won't air it? I read the NW comic back in the day and want to see these characters portrayed. They SHOULD have been the cause of the Civil War.

I enjoyed what I watched of Luke Cage. The villain in the second season is crazy.

I liked LC2 quite a bit. Head and shoulders above LC1. The first half of S1 gets too much love. Cottonmouth was overrated. Not bad, just overrated. I thought Bushmaster was better.

I think there's no way they go the Doctor Strange time loop. Not only is it a rehash, but it's just too easy. That's not 1 in 14,000,605 - that's a "yeah why WOULDN'T you do that?".

I will admit that I was very disappointed when they killed off Cottonmouth. I really liked the actor that was playing him.

Another thing I will say about the Marvel Netflix universe is that they want you to watch SO much to understand what's going on. For example, Luke Cage Season 2. You need to have watched the Defenders to understand what had happened with the characters between seasons. You couldn't just dive in right after Season 1 without missing some stuff. I didn't like that.

it's almost like it's a shared universe or something

I'm almpst done with LC s2 and am glad I'm not the only one practicing a bad Jamaican accent.

Cottonmouth and Bushmaster are both great. Willis from LC s1pt2 was horrible. s2 also seems less preachy to me about all the great african americans which got annoying in s1.

Well yes, but it's possible for the seasons to be separate from the overarching individual shows, right?

I thought they were pretty independent with the exception of what happens to Misty between seasons of Luke Cage.

Speaking of Misty, she has a significant role in Iron Fist 2, which makes me wonder if she'll show up in Dare Devil 3

holy sheet this is hilarious

I'll stand by it! Cottonmouth was kinda dumb. He walked right into Luke's trap, shot a cop in broad daylight and almost got busted for it, popped up on a roof and fired a rocket launcher, and of course got murdered. He also did that same laugh twice per conversation. Not really the Stringer Bell that they wanted him to be.

Plus, the introduction of Bushmaster means I can go around annoying my wife with a bad Jamaican accent. 'arlem is MINE!

---

I liked Cottonmouth but I too was a bit annoyed with the constant "huck laugh." And, why did all the bad guys need to be named for snakes?

Bushmaster was great. I thought it was refreshing to see LC get knocked on his ass, for once.

Also, obligatory:
