Off topic for me, but Blood is dealt with shockingly well by plain old cow’s milk.

“In that way, you’ve acknowledged that you’re unsure, that you don’t know what to do or say. You’ve acknowledged that you see them. They feel seen. They feel heard and acknowledged, which is huge for someone who’s in crisis.” Wentworth Miller | Q&A at Oxford Union | 2016 | x

Dr. Strange’s Plan Explained

I finally figured it out!!!!!!!

The reason that they had the whole big battle scene is that it was the only way to get the future outcome where they win.

Dr. Strange knew they would not defeat Thanos on Titan, that was never the point.  They were trying to DELAY him.  Because if he had snapped his fingers just a couple of minutes earlier….

Avengers: Endgame Mid-credits scene

[In the Quantum Realm]

[Camera moves toward the broken pod, moving as if we are the eyesight of unseen character]

[Camera reaches the pod]

Gruff  male voice: Be careful!

Human hand (male) reaches out and presses the surface of the pod.

Female Voice: What is it, Reed?

Reed (As hand elongates into the cracks of the machinery): I think at long last, it might be our way home….

Dragons are just Vampire Dinosaurs

Vampires are more likely to bite humans, fly, an use magic than humans.

Same for Dragons compared to dinos.

Ever hear of a dragon not killed by a lance or arrow through the heart or being beheaded?

The last recorded instance of a dinosaur is forever ago, but the last (undying) dragon were reported in 1200 or so.  It’s even likely that the supposed remnants like the Loch Ness Monster are/were not natural pleisaurs but undead water dragons.

It just makes sense.

“When we got the chance to come back and do the second volume, Tom Brevoort said to me specifically, “If there’s a story you want to tell this is the opportunity to tell it. It’s not often that books come back. This is a good chance. Don’t put anything off and count on some point down the line telling the story.” So we kind of sat down and hammered it out and figured out what we wanted to do. I did my own research and reading up on stuff and figuring out what this should look like early on. But then as I was writing it I did a lot of consulting. I have an actual psychologist in the special thanks, as well as, Chris Ceary, whose an actual professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins University. Those were I think my first sort of touches. We talked to some people who actually deal with having bipolar disorder themselves, or have friends and family members who are caretakers for people who deal with it on a regular basis the way our supporting cast will have to. We wanted to make sure we got that perspective right and it wasn’t just clinically correct, but that it felt like the experience and that people reading the book who have bipolar disorder, who have experience with it, will recognize that in the story. That Nadia can be that kind of representation for people is important to me. So I did a lot of talking to them and doing small edits to make sure everything came across right and then a lot of panicking in between finishing it and it coming out. I wanted to make sure that people didn’t feel like we were approaching it unfairly or anything like that.”

Lex Luthor

Supergirl may be a show with some problems, but that is officially the best screen depiction of Lex ever!  Spoilers following

Obviously he was gonna take the cure, but that wass a Lex plot through and through.  Not anticipating everyone in some magical smart-person way, but making sure he had coverage to keep on top of whatever happened.  WEll done, CW writers and Mr. Cryer.

New MCU theory

Least likely of all of mine to be true but what if....

Maria Hill is/was the last Skrull.  Talos escaped, two companions died, one is still on Earth at the end of Captain Marvel.  Is Nick Fury not the one person they would go to?  And would they not be the one person Fury could trust with anything?  In Winter Soldier his other ‘daughter’ Natasha has no idea about his death protocol but Maria knows everything.  How did he reach that level of trust with an agent?

Because they’ve known each other much longer than anyone thinks and know things about each other no one else does.

Maria is a skrull!
