Apparently, Infinity Stones/Gems only have power in their own universe, so you can't take a stone from one universe and expect it to work in another.
Michael Waldron, the showrunner and screenwriter, who also wrote the upcoming Dr. Strange 2, has been doing a lot of interviews this week and it's almost as if he's rewritten the rules of time travel and the multiverse overnight. [Reply]

Yeah, but that ruins my joke. Thanks, jerk. [Reply]

The attention to detail was absolutely amazing, as was the writing, score, casting and overall story arc, which takes on a different feel when watching the entire season for the second time.
You guys never cease to amaze me: People bitch and bitch and bitch that "Hollywood has run out of ideas!!!!", yet when something "original" is aired, it's not good enough.
There's just no way to please everyone but I think it's safe to say that WandaVision was a rousing success that beat all expectations in terms of streaming numbers and internet buzz.
Yea, WandaVision was fantastic. I think Loki can be even better though. He’s just such a great character. [Reply]

Shades of Secret Wars 2015 when T'Challa wielded an Infinity Gauntlet. In that story, God Emperor Doom saved pieces of the collapsing multiverse and created a world from the pieces called Battleworld. Infinity Gauntlets could only work inside the barriers of their own realities of the patchwork world, and Black Panther managed to find the Gauntlet belonging to Doom's part of the saved reality to challenge him.

One is damaged on the inside and the other is just not interesting enough to warrant your attention.
Exactly. Both were huge busts, but I think Loki will be good [Reply]

It’s looking more and more like Secret Wars is going to happen... [Reply]

Disney+ moved Loki to Wednesday because the California is opening up June 15th and they didn’t want the series to compete with their upcoming movie release slate.
In short, you are correct: Disney didn’t want people to stay home on Friday night to watch Loki instead of going to the theater to see Black Widow, Luca, etc. [Reply]

Hey Moron, would you like to explain to us why Disney+ added nearly 10 million new subscribers in Q1 2021 after the debut of WandaVision, despite the fact that it was, and I quote "a huge bust"?
You're nothing less than a drooling Mongoloid. [Reply]
To be fair, I only have Disney because it was a $1 bundle with Hulu. For me (no kids and don't rewatch Star Wars / Marvel), the service wouldn't be worth more than that. One show a week is pretty abysmal new content. [Reply]
