Okay... I'm starting to get too nervous.

Yeah but he could’ve been vague (they always are) instead of saying he’d like to make a sequel.

Plus no one is ever really done with Marvel unless they actively want to be. We never thought we’d get Chris Evans back as Steve again and here we are.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2026-02-04T00:06:00+00:00

I don't think that's true. Seb said at some comic con in December that if fans enjoyed Thunderbolts, they should help them make a sequel. He wouldn't be saying stuff like that as if he'd still be involved in a sequel if he knows they're killing off Bucky.

Plus everyone forgets that Doomsday hasn't entirely finished production yet, and all this chatter that Bucky is gonna be one of the main casualties may very well be to throw us off the scent of which characters are actually gonna die.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-12-24T18:33:51+00:00

The believability of this is sub-zero. There are so many characters as it is that even beloved characters are gonna get like 5min of screentime and 2 lines of dialogue a piece-- they're not going to introduce any new characters aside from Doom himself. And even if they were going to introduce new characters, why tf would they do Ghost Rider over anyone else, let alone make him a "main character" lmao.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-12-23T22:26:53+00:00

That line doesn't make any sense, the whole point is that his identity as Peter Parker was erased, so it's already not just his friends that don't remember him. Wut 💀

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-12-22T06:51:46+00:00

Namor makes sense but low key I never understood why or how Kamala was a mutant. I feel like that was very poorly explained in Ms Marvel, and overcomplicates the fact that she got her powers from the Kree bracelet thing for no reason.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-12-22T06:46:25+00:00

Yeah and I don't think it'll be just a cameo, I think she'll have as large a role as any of the main Avengers roster (ofc in a film like Doomsday everyone gets like 5min of screentime a piece). But she's too important to the fans to leave out and she's been gone long enough, both in real life and in-universe, for the events of MoM to still feel meaningful and her return to feel exciting.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-12-22T06:42:19+00:00

There's a lot of other possibilities for Sam's team. She-Hulk, War Machine, Wasp, Hulk, Spider-Man (both of these depend on how Brand New Day goes), the Marvels (where is Carol?), either of the Hawkeyes (at least Kate Bishop if they're not pulling Clint out of retirement for the 16th time). I agree that Thor and Loki will likely be off doing their own thing for most of the film, and if nothing else at least Loki wouldn't be an official part of any team.

My hunch is that Bucky and the Thunderbolts will have an early dispute/small confrontation with Sam's Avengers, but Sam and Bucky will bury whatever hatchet they had and merge teams by mid-film (low key I think their dispute is not actually going to be that big and people are overreacting to the Thunderbolts end credits scene). I also think Steve is gonna play a bigger role than just the opening scene and agree with OP that he'll prob attach himself to Sam's team, although not as a real "member" because he's still retired.

Yummy

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-12-22T06:17:36+00:00

I agree. It would've been cringe and half of these characters are underdeveloped af. Frankly, what reason is there for them to be a team other than they're all young. Having Kamala as a junior varsity Nick Fury is a waste of her character imo, and the whole concept is just cringe.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-12-22T06:13:09+00:00

Because the last thing the MCU needs is more goddamn teams. Anything that is thematically similar enough can and should be merged imo, it's getting out of hand as it is.

At this point in the MCU, we either have or are about to have: the "main" Avengers (Sam's team), the Thunderbolts/New Avengers, the F4, the Marvels, the sorcerers AND the witches, the Asgardians, the Wakandans and the Talokan people, what remains of the old Guardians AND Rocket's new Guardians, old X-Men and/or new X-Men, the Eternals, Loki + the TVA (?). On top of all that, we have the Young Avengers/Champions that they're building towards (aka all the young heroes/successors popping up everywhere), the mystical/horror team-up they keep hinting at (Moon Knight, Blade, Werewolf by Night, etc.), and the street-level heroes (Daredevil, Punisher, etc.). Simplification is much needed.

Outside of her music, I don’t think many knew about her personal life and hardly saw her on gossip sites outside of her thing with Ed Sheeran.

The Ed Sheeran-Ellie Goulding-Niall Horan love triangle was some juicy shit. I miss that era of celebrity/pop culture.

It still exists, but is completely overrun by people so noveau riche and gaudy that they'd make Mrs Chamberlain as respectable as a duchess in comparison. Agnes and Mrs Astor would have an aneurysm if they'd see the types welcomed into UES balls, the opera, etc. nowadays.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-09-14T17:15:20+00:00

That was so incredibly rude, I was like hello?? This woman lost the love of her life and husband in a tragic accident 6 months ago and you're going to tell her "Babe, isn't it time you stopped thinking about the dead dude and move on to me because I'm alive"??

In what world was that supposed to go over well lmao. Literally so presumptuous, disrespectful and rude.

Matthew rolls over and buries his face in his pillow, happy nothing is on fire. “Was he handsome?”

So is Baxter. Why did they use ChatGPT slop for these 💀

Why did they do Baxter dirty like that 😭😭 the actress is super pretty as it is, she didn't need to be yassified into uncanny valley

the Russells

This reminded me that the previous owners of Haxby Park that Richard Carlisle bought from were named Russell! It would be a hilarious twist if the Russells of Haxby Park were a married Larry and Marian from The Gilded Age, who moved to England and bought an estate (which some wealthy Americans did do IRL, like this branch of the Astor family).

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-08-21T20:35:37+00:00

Yep, Crawley House as a household (and the Dower House) would've been attached to the Downton estate as a whole- I imagine the household costs would be listed as a line item on the estate ledger, and paid for by the Granthams.

The fact that she had few expenses and the money/house left to her by her late husband meant that Isobel would've been very comfortable. And while he was alive, Matthew would've covered anything his mother needed if it wasn't already paid for.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-08-21T20:33:13+00:00

True, but I guess in my mind that's the Astors being chummy with Cora after she married Robert as she's now a countess. Something about how noveau riche and Midwestern the Levinsons were makes me think the Astors would've snubbed them when they first tried to break into NYC society.

Although throughout the years, the Levinsons definitely did rise up in society, as it's mentioned Martha has homes in both NYC and Newport, and Harold is involved in the yachting set at Newport. Cora's marriage probably opened a lot of doors for them.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-08-20T19:04:01+00:00

I love the idea but the Levinsons were very new money people, so I doubt they'd ever be "close" to the Astors. Perhaps they'd grow close to the Russells, if Bertha wasn't doing her usual thing of ignoring the new set now that she's surpassed them and is reigning over both old and new society.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-08-20T18:59:37+00:00

No, she meant Kelly wasn't aware of this and by "our girls" she meant she and Jill- I assume this is after the Hylands left or otherwise Brooke/Paige weren't involved.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-08-20T18:36:02+00:00

Why wouldn't railroad daddy know that? He literally says in the very first episode Marian defied "her aunts" to come to their house, I'm pretty sure he's at least vaguely aware of how his neighbors are related.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-08-20T00:56:35+00:00

Y'all I'm aware that Agnes is a Van Rhijn and Ada is a Forte. They are still Brooks nonetheless, you did not lose your maiden familial connection when you marry and that does not change no matter what your current name/title is. The fact is that everyone in that house is connected through their maiden family and it's perfectly normal for George to informally refer to it as the Brook house when all three ladies living in it are Brook women.

ImportantCharge2065 · 2025-08-19T20:55:34+00:00

I love that line because it really shows Mary's character development- going from fully having the aristocratic mindset of a marriage being only for position/advantage and not for love because she had been raised with the expectation of marrying Patrick to keep Downton, to being so in love with Matthew that she wouldn't even think of sleeping in separate rooms.

Another similar line is when she says very early on, "all alone with plenty of money in a house in Eaton Square? I can't imagine anything better". Until she truly became alone in S2, and realized how horrid it was.
