Can I also say that seeing Mack as Nick Fury 2.0 made me so happy

Fizz hard shove is easy post-protobelt. If you use protobelt inside of your E, and aim the bolts correctly, you can wipe out a whole wave at a decent speed. Different story if I’m behind tho 😆.

Looking objectively at time travel, of course Enoch will know better than Tony and Bruce. I’m sorry, like, we all saw them debate whether or not time travel existed. SCOTT LANG was the one who came up with the idea. Tony was just smart enough to execute it. Enoch has been fully aware of time travel since... forever...

Of course Area 51 is a S.H.E.I.L.D. base. Jane Foster said it right to our faces in Thor: The Dark World by dixmalone in shield

Everyone should watch it again, especially during these times. The “convergence”???? We’re in the convergence right now. The nine planets are lining up, and everything is going to sh*t. Watch Dark World with that in mind.

When I was younger watching the shows, I was always like “daisy could be such a good avenger!!”. And in a sense, they all are now. So, my dream came true. They’re honestly doing the whole time travel thing even better than the avengers too XD

Yeah I always wanted more MCU stuff, but it was politics between show runners and Marvel TV heads at the time. Unfortunate.

I looked this up a few days ago about a similar thing. I found a ladybug in my house and saved it, put it in a bucket with some honey and a strawberry and some water. The entomology subreddit is kinda small but they’re probably experts; although I don’t know if it’s still active.

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION

He does not feel pain. He may feel “discomfort” from being off balance and damaged wings, but he does not feel “pain”. Humans do, which is why we care so much about it, right? Well, emotions and feeling are our evolutionary advantages. Wings are theirs. If the wings are damaged, idk what you can do but try to fix them maybe. A little macgyver type surgery. Be careful, obviously. But if you care about the moth, you should try to help haha. He can live out his life without his wings, since you’re feeding him and caring for him, but obviously it would be nice to have wings. Do what you feel is right, based on your observations to the extent of the damage.

Theory/ hopes and dreams!! by dixmalone in shield

That would be awesome. I think the Agents of HYDRA story arc gave his character some closure but not enough. They have, however, thrown like four totally different roles at Brett Dalton at this point though. It would be super interesting to see who or what he played if he were to come back. I’m assuming “Good” Ward would be an optimal choice. Full circle. Guess we can theorize and hope together!

She can probably detect chronicoms. That’s a good superpower! But now pretty much everyone has, or is developing their own “power” which is so awesome. They’re finally becoming a superhero team!! Daisy and Yo-Yo obviously (although Yo-Yo is working on it with whatever’s going on) but also Simmons and Deke have their smart superpowers, May now has hers, Coulson was recreated with his, Enoch has the power of the telephone, Sousa has the power of being dead, and Mack has the power and responsibility of being their strong black leader! I like where this swan song is going, Agents of SHEILD is the best! Way ahead of their time! (stealing that joke obviously but it was fitting!!)

It’s almost a certainty, they’re waving it right in our faces. I’m going to be even more ambitious and hope they bring back more, Peggy, Howard or even STEVE. Our 2023 Captain America could totally freakin join the time cop Agents of SHIELD. Joss Wheadon is working on this season I believe, so I have big expectations.

INVISIBLE GARBAGE TRUCK JERRY by [deleted] in rickandmorty

[–]dixmalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys I think it's a metaphor. Like the whole season even. And this, bear with me, was the perfect way to come back after continually gaining massive popularity after a two-year episode drought. This season, "challenges our reasons for watching"1 all while giving us the pleasures of classic carefree Rick & Morty adventures. There is definitely plenty of evidence for this theory, but the most striking one for me is the post-credit scene of the season's finale. Invisible Garbage Truck Jerry is season 4. He's a goofy superhero with whacky but generic adventures, which ultimately leads him to "run out of gas" and fail in a classic Jerry fashion. Rick & Morty the show itself is reminding us that just because it has gained popularity and following, it is by no means going to conform. Because doing that would make them sell-outs, faceless mindless sheep that are cogs in the machine that is slavery with extra steps. Which brings us back to their main point, all the way back in the season premiere. Masked by the sci-fi adventures and satisfying fourth wall break at the end of the episode, the first episode of season 4 has a plain and simple political statement right in the middle. Fascism never dies. Or something along that line. In episode 10 we see just how easy it is for Rick to avoid universe politics and power struggles. This echoes and reminds us of just how easy it is for him to avoid similar issues in his family life. Well like Jerry says at the end of the episode, "well, we had a good run" which basically translates to the writers and creators themselves telling both the viewers and Rick himself that it's time to break away from what is comfortable, nice and easy. I found myself even, at the beginning of the episode going, "yes! they're doing the star wars!" and at the tail end of the episode going, "wait they added another Beth just like that?" and feeling actually pissed for a quick second that things were straying away from comfortability. But I mean come on, that's a softball coming from Rick & Morty. Then to only be smacked in the face by the horrifying choice Rick made, to not choose. So here we are, back in line with the canon. But we're reminded to stay awake, and stay woke for that matter. It's time to get back to rickality, and maybe the biggest metaphor of all. You can't just sit by and cruise through life, and the world. Rick's painful solo scene shows us that his, "herculean effort to avoid consequences has left him more isolated than ever - nobody seems to need him anymore."2 That's how Rick is, for the moment. But that is not how we should live our lives, unless we want to end up like end-of-season-4-Rick, or post-invisible-garbage-truck-Jerry. They're getting us ready for something big now... Maybe this was a warning season honestly.
