#phase two mcu

[mrfandomwars]

If I had the chance to alter the course of the MCU after Avengers 2012... Phase Two

CAWS and Iron Man Three would be connected to a degree, even if it's a "Natasha and Steve think HYDRA killed Tony because it happened right after they annoyed HYDRA" because IM3 and CAWS would be happening at roughly the same time (and include reactions to Tony supposed death, bonus points if they were trying to call Tony when they heard the news)

About why the rest of the avengers didn't show up: Clint had grabbed Bruce and was hiding in his barn (so the family is known about earlier) to keep HYDRA'S hands off of the Hulk and Thor had yet to return to Earth since the Battle of New York (and the Human Avengers have various opinions on the matter, from concern to being irritated over the fact that Thor's brother did the mess and he doesn't even show up again to give some answers); Rhodey is constantly on and off busy with missions at first and was closer to investigate Tony's "death" afterwards

IM3 Possibly also adds an explanation to why Rhodey was away during the New York Invasion or mentions that he did show up towards the end but was still far out in the city so he did technically meet the Avengers and helped out

Thor The Dark World would be relatively the same but with a bonus scene of Thor trying to contact the Avengers to warn them about the possible invasion so we have cameos of them

Age Of Ultron would NOT be age of Ultron and would focus on two things: introducing characters as new avengers (Rhodey, Sam and Wanda) as well as dealing with the leftovers of HYDRA

Rhodey and Sam would be the "newbies" of the team and would be treated like that for a joke (namely go pick up food) and said joke would introduce Wanda attacking them

I don't exactly remember the limitations that AoU had to deal with regarding the use of the Maximoff twins (beyond Wanda being the only one allowed to stay post the movie) so you have two versions of the plot involving her: 1, full mention of Mutants - say that the school was uniting Mutants of Various Factions but was attacked by HYDRA and she was kidnapped and cryo frozen on and off for fifty years while being brainwashed like Bucky (a small foreshadowing for the other Winter Soldiers). She remembers at the end of the movie and said movie ends with her and the avengers going to check the X-Mansion only to find it in states of decay and destruction, causing Wanda to have a breakdown and be comforted by the Avengers (first Steve, then Tony and/or Natasha and then the rest); 2, Wanda does NOT fully remember things and is referred to as 'enhanced' and not as a mutant. WandaVision could later be used to introduce the Multiverse via her grabbing past/alternate versions of the X-Men and Brotherhood to be her neighbours and show how she subconsciously remembers things

Continuing on, AoU - maybe called Continuing Legacy or something? - also would address why Tony continued being Iron Man when he supposedly gave it up/step back on IM3 irrc. I'm thinking a literal "was pulled into the fight no matter how much the avengers tried to prevent it" AND AND a scene that implies that Tony was told about how HYDRA was responsible for his parents death and that may or may not be part of the reason why he is involved again

AoU would have the climax of Rhodey, Sam and Wanda taking charge and directing the Avengers and showing that they Do deserve to be in the team and are equal with the others

GotG and Ant-Man... I think they would mostly remain the same with off-hand mentions of the avengers or of the Battle of New York. HOWEVER thinking about Hank being younger or mentioning he originally not having a problem with Tony Stark, "that he even worked with the kid to develop a stupid programm" at some point (it was Ultron) or simply refer him making Ultron and burying the drive containing it in Stark's backyard because it was too dangerous/not acting like it should, as if it gained it's own mind.

Also refer that Hank was literally dragging Janet to a "off the grid" vacation and that's why he wasn't in the Avengers or at least why the ant-man suit wasn't pulled into it

feeling genuinely immune to mcu stuff feels so goddamn good cause i was dragging myself to movies i did not care about for SCRAPS of bucky or steve or sam content for years all because of... pretty much just tws (though i do give tfa credit)

like why the fuck was i at the midnight showing of age of fucking ultron? i literally looked up spoilers for endgame ebfore the movie came out knew it was awful and still paid money to see it the night it came out just in case it was good

why was i acting like that? what type of pheromones or wahtever did they put into catws to have me like that for YEARS

[bedlamsbard]

I think one of the weirder things about the CATWS/IM3 --> AoU --> CACW --> IW --> Endgame progression is that each of them reads like the PTB hated the previous film, which was probably true for AoU and CACW since they had different PTB, but is absolutely baffling for CACW, IW, and Endgame, which had the same writers and directors. (CATWS and IM3 both feel very respectful of Avengers and like natural progressions of it.) (as we all know I still think Endgame's greatest sin was making fun of Avengers so that one has...other problems...on top of its problems.)

is agatha all along good

[catboykilljoy97]

I don't have any deep commentary or analysis on this one I just like it. It's right after Bruce has a transformation in Sterns's lab and gets the new "antidote". She's checking on him and idk it's just really sweet

Thunderbolts* was...good?

Warnings: fluff/ violence

Everything around him was different looking. Loki was in the past seeing Y/n talk to Kang. “If you do this deal with me, your memory will be gone forever. Is this what you truly desire?” Kang asked them. “It is. I cannot bare to think of my husband’s death any longer” they said as they saw him out of the corner of their eye

Kang turns to face where Loki would’ve stood, but he vanished. He stood in front of current Y/n. Tears were leaving their eyes now. “I remember everything, Loki. I didn’t wipe my memory after seeing you there. I’m aware you’re not him, but you remind me so much of my Loki that it seems inevitable to fall for the past version of my Loki” they said as he places his hand onto their cheek

“You’ve seen other things that no one else would really believe in since their memories were completely erased. But we can fix whatever this is my love” they said as they took his hands, and placed theirs in his hands. Loki went silent, wondering if he should ask them what they were doing with Kang to begin with

“But you’re not satisfied with what you saw in the past” they said with a frown on their face. “Y/n, I-“ Loki disappeared before he could say anything. Y/n was standing there staring into the void. Loki approached them once he made sure the coast was clear

He stood next to them, and stared at the void with them. “He’s trapped me here. Save me for, I made a deal with the devil” they continued to stare at the void as his worried eyes scanned them. “I’ll get you out of here love, don’t worry” they looked at him as tears left their eyes

“I doubt you will” they say as they close the space between them. “No, I will. I know now what’s happening, so I’ll get you out of here” he reassured them as he placed his forehead against theirs. Tears left his eyes too as they had gone away since he vanished again. He was just in the room with the Kang statues again

No Y/n in sight. Kang grins as he stood behind Loki. “I cannot believe I tricked the god of mischief! You must be feeling very naive right now” Kang says, which makes Loki look at him. Loki’s angry and ready to attack him. “WHERE ARE THEY???!!!” Loki shouts as his eyes glowed green out of nowhere

“Their safe, don’t worry Loki. They are quite the fighter too, which makes me completely see why you like them so much” Kang says as he approaches him. “Don’t you come any closer to me, I’ll-“ “What? Sneak up on me with a dagger?” Loki’s face went blank, but his eyes continued to glow

“If you couldn’t defat Thanos, what gives you the idea you could kill me? Are you gonna use fireworks on me like how your mother taught you? Oh wait, isn’t she gone too?” A huge green blast comes out of nowhere and hits Kang. Kang was away from Loki, which makes Loki teleport in front of him

Loki is breathing heavily, and had every intention to kill Kang. Kang gets up, and was super impressed. “So you do pack a mighty punch. That’s good” Kang says as a dagger appears close to Kang’s throat as he got pinned to a wall by a green force. “Tell me where they are, and I might spare you” Loki says as his hands glowed green as well

Before Kang said anything, he got split in half. He had screamed in agony as he does, and soon Y/n appeared. Loki looks at them, and was shocked. They looked at him as Mobius soon showed up. “Mobuis helped me” they said as Mobius was in shock at the split in half man

“That’s good” Loki says as he looks at Mobius than them. There was a comforting silence between the two now as Mobius looks away from the dead body. “Guy’s, I think that was a setup” Mobius says, which makes the two look at him

Finally watched the trailers for “Loki” season 2. Initial reactions:

1) Feels like we’re moving from “Doctor Who” to “Quantum Leap”, especially since Loki keeps phasing in and out of different timelines.

2) Why does it feel like the entire season is gonna be one giant time loop? Especially since one of the posters is Loki running around a clock.

3) Looks like we don’t have to wait for Loki and Sylvie to reunite. Which begs the question, how did she escape He Who Remains’ castle?

4) Ke Huy Quan being a main cast member warms my heart. I’m hoping there’s a big twist with his character, like he’s revealed to be the Living Tribunal or the Beyonder.

5) I’m assuming Victor Timely is gonna be the main antagonist of this season. That’s interesting since the previous season and Quantumania specifically set up Kang the Conqueror as the main villain of Phase 5. So, even though Victor is a Kang variant, he’s not the one that’s gonna destroy the multiverse. I guess we’ll just have to see how this goes.

Overall, I’m intrigued.

[musclesandhammering]

The mcu fandom’s fav pastime now is arguing about whether Wanda or Loki would win in a 1v1 fight, but we’re not ready to admit that they essentially have the exact same powers.

Mind control, reality manipulation, telekinesis. They’re even both ‘destined’ to sit on a multiversal throne, I mean come on guys.

[killersandqueens]

The quality of Loki season 2 makes me mourn Phase 4 and 5.

Disney made a tv show look like this

But the first movie to introduce Kang- the villain that is supposed to be bigger than Thanos- gets this?

The cgi characters look uncanny- not in a creepy but fun way like Polar Express, but in an uncomfortable way like deepfake porn of celebrities.

The environments they designed for Quantumania are not alive and moving with the believability they are in Loki. They might as well be standing in front of desktop wallpaper.

I need to stop hyperfixating on random shit but on the flip side I did watch Deadpool 3 overwhelmingly blind and had fun now I just need to figure out when I can watch Loki and cry I wanna put that guy in my pocket and shake him in my autistic little hands

[streets-in-paradise]

Let me apologise for having paused progress on all my wips for the last week just to post Thor fics.

I promise I will post something different soon, I have wips from other fandoms close to get finished.

[bedlamsbard]

man, nothing says it's been a while since I watched an MCU film in full than having to go back a couple of years to clear gifsets out of my likes, unless it's something like CATWS or BW where things tend to pile up because I watch them too often to clear them out.

(I used to do this with TCW and Rebels episodes back in the day, it is a very long-established Tumblr usage of mine. which is why I do get annoyed at "you shouldn't just like stuff, you need to reblog it" posts on Tumblr: you never know how someone is using their likes.)
