Avengers Assemble!

[Anderson]

Alright I’m back fellas. Gonna need at least one of those bread bowl soups or I walk on this Guardians movie and swipe all of Poulter’s growth hormone on my way out.

Film started early, but they're finishing up the last bit of casting. You too can be painted gold and get a Half Sandwich/Soup combo.

Shang Chi. This was fun. Awkwafina was the MVP which is a weird thing to type out. The action was good, those fights were fun, and I really enjoyed the mystical stuff. Question about that post credit scene though

  Spoiler: spoilers 

when does this movie take place? I mean, Bruce has figured out how to be Bruce again and looks old as fuck, Carol's hair is much longer and looks old as fuck, and where was Strange during all of this?
Also, what was the deal with Wong and The Abomination? Friends? Did they go back to the Raft?

[Matt]

From what I understand (and Troy will correct me where I'm wrong):

  Spoiler: spoilers 

- This is post everything that has preceeded it theatrically. Banner has figured out how to get back to his normal 'human' form. His arm damage is permanent.
- Banner, Wong, and The Abomination are all there to set up SHE HULK.

I know it's post everything,

  Spoiler: spoilers 

but just how post everything? Mark Ruffalo looked fucking old as balls in that scene. It was jarring. Assuming this may be after Wanda/Loki/DS2/Spidey3?

[Abraham Smashington]

buttt I really want to know the dynamic between Wong/Abomination. Because after their fight

  Spoiler: spoilers 

they were laughing or talking or whatever and then it looked like Wong was taking him back to The Raft? It was such a quick shot but confused the shit out of me

I know he's showing up in She-Hulk but I'm more interested in what was happening in this.

[Matt]

I'm sure that'll be explored.

I'm just glad that Wong is breaking out as a full-fledged character. Benedict Wong is too fun of an actor to keep relegated to background work, so I'm really glad that he's being utilized across multiple platforms.

The post Endgame timeline is fucked, but here's what I have without breaking out my notes.

Black Widow
Infinity War -- Ant- Man and Wasp
Endgame
WandaVision
Spider-Man: Far from Home
Falcon and Winter Soldier
Hawkeye
Shang-Chi
Eternals
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Doc Strange 2
She-Hulk
Armor Wars / West Coast Avengers
Echo
BP 2 / Okoye
The Marvels
Thunderbolts
Ant-Man 3

She-Hulk is the start of exploring the Hulk family and how Banner doesn't understand everything about Gamma energy, that feeds into World War Hulk.

The Avengers for months following Endgame are more of Avengers affiliated experts trying to run a global monitoring system

They had to redo Banner's stuff here multiple times to match what She-Hulk is tackling. The Cap Marvel thing is a continuity error that gets explained in The Marvels now.

Strange is monitoring the Multiverse breaks and trying to repair what he can. By Spidey 3, he's aware that something happened in Loki, but he's not sure what. So he casts the spell and Peter fucks with things. But, it's the equivalent of kids playing with matches without realizing the floor is made of gasoline.

I’m watch Shang Chi this weekend.

[Abraham Smashington]

yes.

I’m watch Shang Chi this weekend.

it's good!

[Abraham Smashington]

so is Zendaya gonna pull a Gwen Stacy here? OR what if Spider-Gwen shows up and saves Zendya. OR what if Andrew Garfield's Spidey saves her?

Also, this is funny. I wonder what or who could be hitting him here?

Spoilers I guess?

  Spoiler: I feel like I've been talking about this fucking movie for a decade. 

Garfield is the only one scrubbed out of the trailer. He punches Lizard and he is the one that saves Zendaya on the Statue of Liberty.

Maguire comes in during that scene, but most of his stuff is with Osborn and Doc Ock.

  Spoiler: spoilers 

Oooooh. I'm gooood.

[Matt]

Digging it. Glad to see that Doctor Strange is apparently a major player in the film.
