Uh... What's up with Cap's eyes in that panel?Now that the Disney owns mutants, fans are crying out for a shot-for-panel adaptation of Jack Kirby's Captain American Annual #4, the perfect way to introduce Magneto into the MCU.

I genuinely love the intimation that the reason Captain Marvel didn't show up for all the movies is because she had bigger fish to fry. I like the idea that there's a threshold of power past which you're useless for all but the most dire circumstances, because for any problem you could fix there are a million worse problems that also need fixing.What's the opposite of "An ant has no quarrel with a boot."?
I actually kinda hate it! If that other shit is so important, why aren't we privy to seeing any of it?I genuinely love the intimation that the reason Captain Marvel didn't show up for all the movies is because she had bigger fish to fry.
They will get there, but I actually dread the story implications of this because power escalation is a thing that can wreck the context of your storytelling universe if you're not careful. You can have the Ultimates fight The Living Tribunal and Peter Parker punching Rhino and struggling to pay rent, but you have to keep your streams separate.I actually kinda hate it!

My theory is that it WAS in fact meant to happen, that Loki being arrested by the TVA is supposed to happen, so he can help them. Whether every TVA employee or just Mobius is in on it is up in the air, but it's the only way I can square 'the Avengers were supposed to muck with the timeline' with 'but Loki shouldn't have done what Loki would do'.I do wonder though--if the Avengers' Time Heist was in fact preordained, doesn't that mean they were meant to lose the Tesseract, so Tony and Cap would be forced to travel back to the 70s? Was Loki supposed to just stare at the Tesseract and let the 2012 Avengers pick it up again, so the 2023 ones still believed they lost their chance?
I think the Avengers are fine because they returned the stones & closed off any loose timelines. Loki escaping with the tesseract was a loose end. I’m not sure if I agree that he was to blame, but it sets up a better story this way.I do wonder though--if the Avengers' Time Heist was in fact preordained, doesn't that mean they were meant to lose the Tesseract, so Tony and Cap would be forced to travel back to the 70s?

I do like how it squashes a lot of fan theories about Steve thoI think the Avengers are fine because they returned the stones & closed off any loose timelines. Loki escaping with the tesseract was a loose end. I’m not sure if I agree that he was to blame, but it sets up a better story this way.
If this hadn't been made well in advance of Wandavision coming out, I would have assumed it was an intentional troll-job.But it also pretty strongly implied Mephisto is the villain.
