[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

everyone walked out of thunderbolts* thinking the fantastic four were on that ship, and we all fell for doctor doom's trap.

reed and sue aren't on the ship entering earth-616. doom is, and he kidnapped franklin richards on his way out.

marvel confirmed avengers doomsday takes place 14 months after thunderbolts*. doom stole reed's ship, came to 616 wearing tony stark's face, and spent 14 months pretending to be an ally to sabotage every team from the inside:

new avengers (thunderbolts*): bucky and yelena trust him because he looks like tony and claims his earth died.
bruce banner (endgame encore): doom uses 616's own shield files to find banner's bunker 2 miles underground.
earth-10005 (x-men): doom reprograms the sentinels to frame 616 and start a war with professor x and magneto.
shang-chi & wakanda: doom uses the ten rings beacon and shuri's vibranium network to map the incursion points.
fantastic four (first steps): reed and sue arrive 14 months later in doomsday to warn 616 that doom stole their ship and their son.

by the time the real fantastic four reach 616, doom has already been living there as "tony" for over a year.

only question is which 616 hero figures out doom's lie first. who's your bet?

@Ben_XI0 last of us looks incredible!

[GE 🪖 @goddy204]

This movie never quite explains how getting hit by a cosmic storm cloud suddenly turns Victor's skin into living organic metal that can absorb and project pure electricity.

​One minute he is a standard human CEO wearing a cloak in his study, and the next he is casually shooting arcs of blue current across walls like a low-rent budget Electro.

​It's a very loose adaptation of his comic book abilities, and looking back at the physics of how his powers work always feels a bit inconsistent.

The city graphics in The Last of Us 2 look much more realistic than the city graphics in GTA 6.

Ultron absorbs the entire internet in 3 seconds, reads every language known to man, and immediately resorts to a manual physical chokehold because his Bluetooth must have disconnected. Classic Stark Industries tech support. #MCU #AgeOfUltron

The Watcher 'Uatu' appearance in the MCU so far (Only series and Short films)

@Ben_XI0 dr strange might not even know himself for most the movie or until secret wars

@Pop_Clave im hearing so much about this i still have not seen it sounds interesting

[PopClave @Pop_Clave]

RAMAYANA IS MORE THAN JUST PICKING SIDES.

Ravana was a great devotee of Shiva, a learned man and a powerful king. That doesn't justify his abduction of Sita, but it doesn't mean we have to ignore his good qualities either.

Similarly, some people understand Rama's decisions through his duties as a king, while others see those same events from Sita's perspective.

People can interpret the same story differently. Seeing good in Ravana doesn't automatically mean disrespecting Rama, just as respecting Rama doesn't mean everyone will interpret his every action in the same way.

We can recognise a character's good qualities without blindly accepting everything they do.

I hope the movie explores this distinction instead of simply picking a side.

Who has the best optic blast according to you

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

Doctor Strange didn't pick the 1 in 14,000,605 timeline because it was the only way to beat Thanos. he picked it because it was the only timeline that got rid of both Thanos AND Tony Stark at the same time.

go back and watch how Strange talks to Tony on the ship. he realized early on that a guy smart enough to build Ultron and time travel in a weekend was eventually going to be a bigger threat to the multiverse than Thanos ever was.

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

also remember where bucky and yelena are standing in that left pic. the watchtower is literally tony stark's old avengers tower.

doom walking right back into "his" old tower gives him instant access to valentina's files and sentry before anyone even realizes he isn't tony.

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

because that thunderbolts* post-credits scene is the furthest point we've seen on the 616 timeline so far (outside of spider-man brand new day, where peter is street-level).

valentina and bucky would 100% keep a "tony variant" classified inside the watchtower during that 14-month gap instead of going public. do you think bucky would buy his story at first or be suspicious right away?

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

@spider_sapienz by the time peter is in the movie it will most likely be secret wars or end of doomsday i cant imagine spidey just webbing up doom lol hes going to be insanely strong. and even if he senses a threat that wont have anything to do with knowing its tony

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

@Goldenstories2 i can see them doing that just because the emotional connection behind them but i dont see that working. someone said it can be mystique who catches him while being in disguise. i like that theory more right now

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

@imVIKI_ at this time i dont think he has multiversal travel tech. you can tell by the suit if thats him in the photo that its not as advanced yet

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

@spider_sapienz but the sense isnt going to just tell him its tony under the mask. he didnt know green goblin was green goblin he just felt a threat him norman

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

@spider_sapienz maybe spiderman but i dont think it will be because the spider sense

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

@DonDaMenace i like this. would be a perfect way to first introduce that someone recognizes tony..

[Damage Control Notes @DODCNotes]

@deeznutztesting thats his main things id say so i hope thats a very strong point in the movie.
