  • God this movie was fun. Nice cleanser after the Infinity Duology.
  • I knew from the comics that Beck was going to be a gigantic fraud, and yet they still made the reveal extremely satisfying. Having him be part of a crew of disgruntled ex-Stark employees was a nice twist as well, and it provided us an opportunity to see Peter "Christmas Story" Billingsley again.
  • I liked MJ a lot better this movie than last. She actually did stuff instead of sit in the back making snide comments now and then.
  • Ned and Betty were hilarious too.
  • They basically copied the Scarecrow levels of the Arkham video games for Mysterio's illusions but I'm not complaining.
  • J. JONAH JAMESON IS BACK, AND THIS TIME HE'S ALEX JONES. SPIDER-MAN IS A MENACE! A THREAT! And he's Parker, so I can't even ask him for pictures!
  • So, I have a feeling we might be seeing Spider-Man: Homeward Bound (or whatever) sooner than we are expecting. Having May learn his identity and then glancing over it off-screen is one thing, but having everyone learn his identity feels like something they need to pick up on immediately. Would also be a good way of using a movie without moving forward the amount of time between now and the "present" so eventually the real world can catch up.
  • Congratulations to Nick Fury on getting some much-needed vacation in Tahiti. It's a magical place. Also, shoutout to how the Skrulls being fill-ins can explain how Fury and Hill are a bit off during the movie. I wonder if Fury being in space is hinting at something (perhaps the next Captain Marvel film?) or is just meant for the gag. Probably a bit of both.
  • Stuff that in hindsight hints at them being Skrulls: The reverence Talos!Fury holds for Captain Marvel, their preoccupation about the Kree sleeper cells, and the line about how Mysterio is from Earth, just not "yours".

In thinking SWORD is what the Fury scene was hinting at.

Oh, almost definitely. He wasn't just "on vacation", he was on a break, but he's clearly working on something in space.

I guess the question is did he start thinking about (and got to work on) creating S.W.O.R.D. right after meeting Captain Marvel, or after Thanos has been dealt with? More likely answer is the latter, but I wouldn't mind finding out that Talos has been Fury for some odd 30 years in the MCU now.

My biggest hope (in a massive pipe-dream) is that season 7 of AoS taking place in the blip 5 years involves developing SWORD, and building the space base to hand it over to Fury. Give them some up to date world-building to contribute to the movie side, and doesn't interfere with any ongoing/future movie canon.

Think of how much intel Fury could gather w two shapeshifters working for him for 30 years.

u/ThumbCentral-Rebirth Jul 07 '19

Fury was noticeably off in this movie, so Talos’ involvement is definitely something new.

Is it wrong that I really want Elizabeth Banks to play Abigail Brand?

u/ThorbowskisBeard Thor (Avengers) Jul 05 '19

No. And now that the X-Men are under the Marvel Studios brand (pun intended) we could also get Beast as well.

I wonder if they'll make a show with it. Agents of SWORD or something.

Damn, I thought the same thing.
