“Move it Trainspotting”
“I’m not Scottish!”
Ah, class.
I liked that series overall, but you’re going to have to give me more context because I don’t remember that at all and it means nothing to me.
Skye shouting at the English merc in the infiltration of the frozen strip. It was such a simple riff on an American not knowing the difference between English and Scottish accents, but it was so delightfully unexpected a reference

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
Thanos turning from his plot and joining the Ravagers was the one thing that made me facepalm a little bit. Just too much of a stretch, at least at first. By the end of the episode, I was more okay with it, but my initial reaction was literally me saying "what the feth?!"
Obviously that was not to be taken seriously. I mean, most of the characters are literally just reading off internet nitpicks while winking directly at the audience.
I’m wondering how closely the House of Mouse are following the reaction/feedback to What If?
I mean, so far the movies have followed an obviously very successful loose formula. Sure some have taken risks (GOTG being the main one, boy did that pay off!), but the backbone of the formula has remained.
What If? is, and I mean this respectfully, kind of disposable. Like Solo, you don’t need to see any of it to appreciate the main fare. It’ll still find its audience, but it doesn’t have to make the big bucks.
But it’s also a potentially useful test bed for trying new things. It’s relatively cheap to produce too - certainly I’d imagine orders of magnitude cheaper than the movies or series like WandaVision. Yes you still need to pay your talent. But rather than for weeks or months of their time, plus the extra expense of remounting scenes which didn’t quite work is reduced. Lines not quite right? It’s another day or two in the recording booth to spit and polish that which didn’t quite click.
And so they can be braver with it. Simply put, they’ve less to lose, and potentially a lot to gain.
For instance, I’m a big fan of Marvel Zombies, to the point I believe I own a complete set of hardback copies. So I’m psyched to see the related What If?
If that really tickles the pickle of the masses? Who knows what we might see in the future? Same for Captain Carter and whatever else is going to come.

Just finished both episodes. Echo the sentiment that almost nothing changed for the Carter episode. What I noticed was just how much the cosmos improved solely by T'Challa's presence. I'm waiting for the deleted scenes episode so we can see how he was the youngest cadet to graduate Starfleet Academy and the future where he winds up married to James T. Kirk.
Have I managed to completely miss The Watcher in the background of the first two episodes or merely forget I saw him? He was very noticeable in this one.
The events of the Incredible Hulk seemingly happened later than we thought, as in after/during Iron Man 2. Given the release slate I’d previously assumed it was contemporaneous with Iron Man 1.

A.) I totally pegged who the bad guy was once they showed the broken injector needle point.
2.) How did Clint not realize what had happened? How do you get hit in the hand hard enough to force release your grip, without that hit throwing off your aim, or realizing you were hit?
I want to see that Vision in Ultron armor one in the splash image. Which I think is actually Ultron winning and completing his transfer into the vision body. I.E. there is no Vision? It's just Ultron?

These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

We see footage of a reporter at Culver Unitiversity during Iron Man 2.
The Incredible Hulk has always happened around the same time as Iron Man 2/Thor.
