Brain Dead Radio #197: Endgame Spectacular

[Abraham Smashington]

Our heroes are back with a supersized episode entirely about the MCU and Avengers: Endgame


We’re in the endgame, bitches! Join us as we spend nearly an entire episode on Marvel’s little independent family drama that absolutely no one is talking about. Find out what anime Cerj compares the film to. Discover what character Ari wants more of (it’s Jane Foster). Listen as Rob fantasizes about the Hulk’s cousin. We laugh, we cry, and we all fail miserably to lift Mjolnir.

Had to pause to put kiddo to bed. I’ll pick back up in a bit.

Honestly, the Vormir scene made me actually give a shit about Black Widow.

Also way over Chris Pratt.

You guys keep talking about a rat...this must have happened when I was in the bathroom? I need to see it again.

[Abraham Smashington]

It was how Antman came back. A rat pressed the button in the van.

Some of this painful, but eh.

  Spoiler: A quick breakdown about Thanos 

Thanos is an Eternal (Part of the Titan branch/demi-god)


The Thanoscopter was only used in Hostess ads/Electric company stuff/kid targeted shit.


Thanos looking the way he does is because he was a cosmic mistake. His entire family looks human and his looks were considered a birth defect.


While being one of the dread scourges of the Universe, he is easily persuaded.


Since he was a little kid, Death has visited him repeatedly. His desire to murder everything was initially considered as an effort to impress her, now it's realized to be more of Thanos being Death's living puppet in the mortal realm.


In the comics, it's strongly suggested that he's a rapist with many illegitimate kids. The idea is somewhere between vintage Viking and modern day African warlord in terms of forced coital output.


One of his kids was hidden among the Inhumans in the comics, in the MCU he will be part of the Eternals.


In the comics, Nebula is his granddaughter that he tortured. She eventually steals Sanctuary II from him and goes on a cosmic joyride with Mega Star Destroyer ship.


In the comics, Thanos has started to move away from the Infinity Stones because they are luring him into being their bitch. That's the catch, though. The Stones want to be together, the user will eventually be overwhelmed by them.


Currently, Thanos is dead after Gamora decapitated him. Now, Thanos's brother (Starfox) is leading his version of the Guardians of the Galaxy against Starlord's Guardians to find where Gamora disappeared to, as she's starting to exhibit certain Thanos traits.



TLDR:


Thanos is a birth defected purple freak who Death uses as a beta cuck. He's currently dead in the comics and MCU.


ALSO: The Black Widow movie is a prequel. It's been a prequel for months, never placed why until I saw Endgame. Kudos to MCU on keeping that shit from leaking.

WRONG.


Skrull Invasion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Invasion


What you're referencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Empire_(comics)


One was good. The other one started strong, had moments and then pooped the bed.

[Anderson]

Endgame did make me think of two things.

  Spoiler: Spoilers 

You have to smash the Tesseract open to get the gem out of it. How does Steve take the smashed Tesseract back to 1970 in one piece?


Also, Starlord and Mantis are Ego's kids. When EGO dies, Starlord loses his powers. However, Mantis keeps her powers.


What's up with that?

[Abraham Smashington]

I knew I was failing when explaining comics shit.

You fucking nerd
