Reblog because I just watched the episode and I LOVE IT! I HAVE THOUGHTS AND RAMBLING TO DO!! <3

Spoilers of course! I wish I had a bunch of screenshots but I only have a really blurry one </3

So the episode begins with the Hulks using these hoverboard things, except She-Hulk, who is rollerskating. The rest of the team makes fun of her until boom, Tony’s tower (building? I forgot q_q) is being under attack and so they go to help him.

Turns out it’s a thing called Mainframe, which is a computer code that Tony created to play war games with (idk why specifically war games buuut I digress) and it got tired of losing, especially since Tony cheats :0.

It tries to destroy the city but the Hulks and Tony challenge it to roller derby (looks so fun actually) and if they win, city is saved and if not, city destroyed! Mainframe created a robot team to go against the others.

The problem? Besides She-Hulk and Tony, no one else can roller-skate.

Wanted to share a brief clip I found to show this. Gosh, there's barely any clips on YouTube for this episode and I was lucky to find this one :, D

It’s basically She-Hulk explaing the rules of roller derby and hehe Tony just moving his skates around.

By the end of the clip, you can see everyone lining up to wait for the derby to begin and we see Tony facing backwards:

(Excuse the quality I literally can’t find any good ones u_u)

She-Hulk even questioned him, saying: “Tony, you’re facing the wrong way.”

Tony responds with “I know what I’m doing.”

And the race begins and let me just say I love how the animators animated Tony skating backwards! It’s so smooth and like he’s moon dancing, Micheal Jackson style RAAHH <3

Everyone except She-Hulk is struggling and time limit and points. She questions Tony why he can only skate backwards and he responds with “I have a very good reason for that” and it’s revealed (provided by the gorgeous gifs OP provided) or well, it’s not exactly verbally confirmed but more video proof and thus heavily implied, that Tony learned to skate backwards so he could flirt.

The most Tony Stark thing ever and I love it, it so so SO fits the AA universe and the Hulk and the Agents of SMASH universe (mini ramble but I think the two universe are the same since same designs, same voice actors, and even other episodes connect Hulk being a team leader of the Agents of SMASH while being on the team with the Avengers as a member but I digress so much) and I love it when She-Hulk is so not impressed qwq. Tony even admits he never learned how to skate forwards.

Anyways, after a quick group huddle of motivation, the team starts to do better. Mainframe, which was originally coded by Tony to love the rules and never cheat (ironic since this lets Tony cheat lmao), decided to cheat. That backfires since the Hulks and Tony take the opportunity to cheat too.

Turns out, skating backwards actually works for Tony and She-Hulk comments on that, he replies “Oh believe me, I know” (italicized because DANG his voice goes so flirty like is that implying something..??!) before he gets pushed off and forced to skate forwards, which he screams “Hate going forward!”

(I’m curious as to why he doesn’t like skating forwards, even going as far as to say hate. He sounded so uncomfortable and wobbling a bunch)

Anyways, Hulk helps Tony and he gracefully steps on two robot’s heads before awkwardly skating a few seconds forwards before going backwards again (MUAH I love you animators for showing that. It’s a very small detail that passes for a few seconds but I LOVE the small details I am an animation nerd <3) (And OH that is the second/middle gif that OP provided, thank you OP <3)

So they win, city is saved, Mainframe is reformed and now has a form similar to one of Tony’s armors with different colors and flies away o_o

I love this episode so much <3

So @dakt37​ has informed me that this episode of Hulk and the Agents of SMASH exists so here’s tony mostly roller skating backwards because that’s pretty much the only way he knows how to skate: a shitty gifset. Brought to you by me googling how to do things, youtube (unfortunately with watermarks, i couldn’t edit out the last one without blurring the text) boredom and procrastination :D
