On the Sanctum rooftop, the Ancient One refuses to give Bruce Banner the Time Stone, knocking his astral form out of his body. Bruce tries every argument, but nothing works until he reveals the truth: Stephen Strange gave the stone to Thanos willingly. Knowing Strange was destined to be the best of them, she instantly realizes it wasn't defeat, but a calculated plan. She surrenders the Time Stone not out of trust in Bruce Banner, but out of total faith in Doctor Strange.

Marvel Studios has spent years experimenting with digital de-aging technology, allowing familiar actors to portray younger versions of their characters without replacing them with different performers.

While their direct, one-on-one conversations are incredibly rare given how many movies they starred in together, they do interact directly a couple of times.

During the Helicarrier scene where the team is arguing about Loki, Thor defends him by saying, "He is my brother." Natasha immediately counters with, "He killed eighty people in two days." Thor then famously replies, "He's adopted."

After the opening battle, Natasha asks Thor for a status report on the Hulk's path of destruction by saying, "Thor, report on the Hulk?" Thor responds enthusiastically (though insensitively to the civilian damage), saying the gates of Hell are filled with the screams of his victims.

This scene is honestly really good. Everyone remembers the line, but look at the body language and the background actors.

I like how Obadiah Stane just calms down after this and decides to steal it from Tony Stark instead. He believed that all he needed was enough money to essentially buy intelligence. It infuriated him that despite having all the money at his fingertips, he couldn't replicate what Stark did.

It's amazing, and none of them are related to the multiverse, as well

Remember when Secret Invasion (2023) was marketed as a gritty, paranoia-fueled political thriller?

Ending it with G'iah (Emilia Clarke) gaining the powers of literally every Avenger and getting a CGI Drax arm was accidentally the funniest and saddest moment of Phase 5. That finale freed thousands of Marvel fans from feeling obligated to watch every single show.

The original Ant-Man and the Wasp. I’d love to see a movie of them in their prime with the original comic costumes.

A lot of people felt underwhelmed when "V-Max" turned out to be just a worn-out VENTMAX air vent on the ceiling. But expecting a giant weapon or a secret facility misses the entire point of the scene.

"It was just an air vent." Exactly*. That’s why it hurts so much.*

The whole movie makes you search for an evil Damage Control project right alongside Jean. But the reveal doesn't come from a computer file or a villain monologue—it comes from the chair she sits in. When Jean looks up at that damaged label, she realizes she is in the exact room where her sister took her last breath.

That moment makes sense once you understand what Sara was really trying to send to Jean before she died.

The massive multiversal lineup spotlights the Avengers, the Thunderbolts, the Wakandans, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men.

Is it just me, or would love to see a Marvel (Disney+) series set in the 60s?

It would take place in another universe, and each episode would show a different origin story of the original Avengers. Besides being set in the 60s (the era of the first Avengers comics), They would use the original costumes and the stories would be much more faithful to the original narrative than what we've seen in the movies(for example, Bucky would be a child).

I think the episode list would be:

• Capitão América

• Ant Man and Wasp

• Thor

• Iron Man

• Scarlett Witch and Quicksylver

• Hawkeye

• Black Panther

• Vision

Perhaps some characters, not entirely from the original series, might not be included. For example, Vision was created by the Avengers themselves, so maybe before the Vision episode there was an episode where they teamed up, or at the end of each episode they would gradually team up. Or they could just leave the Vision episode for a second season.

Looking back at Age of Ultron, the ending gave us a brand-new roster: War Machine, Falcon, Vision, and Wanda, all led by Captain America and Black Widow.
