This I would have loved. Add Dopender driving him there in a taxis and they start arguing about how the other road would have been faster.
That would almost be worth watching the movie just for that.

For women it's "plus"; men still get classified as "XXL". Although I think it would be fair to say Thor hit XXXL.

Or that they're 12. Besides does anybody ever use voice chat anymore in games? It got so bad years ago that family and friends just muted anybody that wasn't a part of their friend group.

I think it's gotten more common on consoles? Hard for me to say cause I haven't used one in years. PC is basically all Discord now for voice chat, but I do occasionally see people using the ingame VOIP.
Looked like Thor and his buddies were playing Fortenight, but I think they're missing out. Thor playing SMITE would be hilarious

Also could've been worse names. What if they went by the name "MILF-Slayer69"?
To be entirely fair i think i went by somewhat edgy names as a teen (not really pervy usually). Some were sorta meh names and some were just edgy. We can all look back on our past and find something we might cringe that we did. Of course i grew up in some ways.
You know you've had a nickname too long when something you created maybe 10 years ago is still being used as your nickname.

Indeed. But, the best lies contain a grain of truth? It could be Mysterio isn’t from another dimension, but is aware it’s now possible?
Looking forward to finding out anyway

I still think Mysterio is less a villain in the traditional sense, and more a showboating wannabe. I think he'll be creating the "elementals", and using the story of the multi-verse to make people think he's there to save them, thereby making himself famous.

Remember back in January when we started to speculate about 13 Reasons Why star Katherine Langford‘s mystery role in the 22nd Marvel Studios live-action feature film? We thought perhaps her (at the time) new red tresses could be a clue to her possible character, and apparently one of those guesses was correct.
Just when you thought the gut punches and feels were over, here comes The Russo Brothers with the description of a cut scene that featured Langford’s actual character, Morgan Stark (daughter of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts).
While chatting with Josh Horowitz on his HappySadConfused podcast, Joe and Anthony Russo revealed how things would have gone.
Joe said:
“There was an idea that we had that Tony was going to go into the metaphysical way station that Thanos goes in when he snapped his fingers. And that there was going to be a future version of his daughter in that way station.
The intention was that his future daughter, because these films are dealing with magic, his future daughter forgave him and sort of gave him peace to go. And the idea felt resonant. But it was just too many ideas in an overly complicated movie.”
Anthony admitted that the emotional impact just wasn’t hitting the right way, saying: “What we realized about it was we didn’t feel an emotional association with the adult version of his daughter. So it wasn’t ringing to us and resonating with us on an emotional level.”

He doesn't even have the gauntlet, and yet he still held off Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and Marvel. The only character he really had trouble with is Scarlet Witch, and that's because magic is bs.
Thanos in the comics was mega-strong even without the Gauntlet.
I find MCU Scarlett Witch annoyingly overpowered - she did become super-powerful eventually, but it took time from her to discover full extent of her power. Most of her Brotherhood/Avengers stint she had only modest powers.

To be fair, Wanda’s power is super erratic in terms of how strong it is even by comic standards. I remember in XMen Evolution alone she was depicted with radically different levels of control at three different points in one season.

Well Captain America, Iron Man and Thor were playing Thanos at his own game, strength and speed, which is why he was so comfortable there.
Without the stones Thanos doesn't have any defence against magic, so I didn't see anything inconsistant about him struggling aginst Scarlett Witch.
It was wierd that Dr Strange, the team's most powerful mage, was just re-directing water over in the corner instead of trapping Thanos in the miror dimension or taking the gauntlet half way around the world...

In comics it is sometimes hard to tell apart whether Wanda is using her mutant powers, or her mastery of mystic arts.
Oh one small thing I especially liked in this movie: Bruce-Natasha were apparently no longer a thing. THANK GOD. They actually again bit teased Cap-Natasha in the beginning.

Again, just like in the last movie, that would ultimately end badly. There was only one way they would win. And this was it. And strange knew it.

And she was riding a huge wave of grief and anger when she took on Thanos. To her, the events of Infinity War were just a few minutes before, where she not only had to kill Vision herself, but then watched Thanos just undo it with a flick of the wrist and kill Vision all over again in front of her.

However, the only way doing anything other than him just playing with his rubber duckies would end badly, is because the Scriptwriters Say So.
It goes back into the whole 'contrived' feeling thing I had I think.

I've not seen the film a second time to see, but I've heard some comments that while Bruce-Natasha was apparently something only Joss Whedon was interested in, there's the odd look between the two of them. The actual ... mechanics of how it'd work are perhaps best not thought about.

Plus they had that awkward moment in Infinity War. So while it's clear that Bruce/Natasha are never gonna be a "thing", at least they acknowledge what has come before. That's one of the best things about the MCU

I got the impression that it was over well before that. With Hulk being on Sacaar for 2 years and all. That is what made the moment in IW when Bruce says hit to Nat so awkward.
I never got the impression that they "rekindled" whatever was going on in AoU
