My What If…? Pitch: what if the hydra agents within shield got Captain America.

About to give you a really rough sketch of the episode as I am not a writer. Just a guy with an idea I think would be sick. Better than the slop we got in seasons 2 and 3.

After we see a man wipe the icing off Caps shield, we hear a few bullets firing in the background, and the hand slide off the ice. The shield agents on that mission disappear and we are taken to the same base in which the winter soldier is being kept. Seeing as Hydra found an earlier opportunity to reveal themselves, they do not know about Loki’s septer, and will therefore be going for the other object of that power, the space stone.

Steve is put through the same system as Bucky and given a look similar to the animated hydra captain America in ‘Iron Man & Captain America: Heroes United.’ Some time passes and a new mission arrives. Send in Cap and Winter Soldier and a few agents to get the tesseract from a shield base. One thing goes wrong, Loki pops out the same day. There is some fighting but eventually, When Hydra realizes Loki is also looking to steal the tesseract, and a being of godly power, they try to work with him. Loki agrees, but both parties have plans of eventually betraying each other.

Hydra plans on using the tesseract to try and return red skull, but that will not work as he is on vormir. The events with Hawkeye and the other mind controlled people still happened, and now the sides are quite uneven. Hydra has Steve, Bucky, Loki, Hawkeye, while shield has Natasha, Tony, and Bruce whom they’ve now recruited. At this point Loki gets into a fight about the tesseract with Hydra who each want to use it to open a portal. At that point shield shows up and a three way fight breaks loose. Loki is only with Hawkeye yet still winning, until there is a huge lightning blast. Thor shows up and turns the tables. Iron Man knocks Steve’s sense back into him and when he quickly sees the situation he tries his best to get in the fight. Obviously it will be harder to snap Bucky out of it, as he had years and years of brain washing. Cap drops the shield, as he can’t stand fighting with the Hydra logo, even if it’s the only shield he has. He has a one on one with Bucky. And then hulk and Thor two v one Loki and take him out. The tesseract is not obtained by either party, but back in the hands of the good guys.

This is a really rough draft, and definitely had a lot of plot points missing that would make a good ep. This is really just a fun idea I had, and I hope you all like it.

Where to start marvel comics universe?

A little bit ago I got marvel unlimited. I knew I wanted to get into these comics for a while, as I am a huge fan of the movies, shows, and other marvel content. My first plan was to start marvel from fantastic four #1 and just keep going till I couldn’t bear it. Now I quickly learned two things: 1. This would practically impossible to catch up to today. 2. I really don’t like how much filler and extra nonsense writing there is in the og comics. So I transitioned and decided to read the main events. I’ve read civil war which I loved. Both secret wars, which were good. Secret invasion and more. I also got very into the ultimate universe a bit ago and began keeping up with every issuer as soon as it is released on unlimited for each series. If I want to have a basic understanding of modern comics or go back and read the best, how should I do it. I don’t wanna keep just picking out the main events like I’ve been doing. I want a story. And preferably a good enough look into the comic versions of the best characters. I watch YouTubers like Andy M. Lee, who just remember a whole bunch of runs and can just bring them up and I seriously wonder how? Like in a recent video he was going over a taskmaster look in insomniac spider man and goes, oh yeah, looks based off his alternate suit from that one time, and I’m thinking. How is this guy just knowing everything.

AITAH for getting mad over my cousin ditching our card game?

About a month ago my cousin and I (who have been living in the same house for a while, because his burnt down) got in a big fight after he told me we would play a card game, but he backed out. At about 1:30 I came to him and I was asked if he wanted to play progressive rummy (for those who don’t know this is a 4 player game that takes about 3 hours, so the kind of thing you spend a day on). We don’t play frequently, but we do play often enough that a question like this is a usual occurrence. His friend was in the house, and he said they would both come and play in about 20 minutes. I avoided making other plans with friends as I enjoy games like this and was happy to spend a day on it. After 20 minutes he came to the table and the game was finished being set up, and right before we got home, my sister gets back to the house from shopping. She is with a friend and her and my cousin begin talking for a long time. I am aware this is one of my character flaws, but I don’t really like talking. It bores me and I would always rather be doing something. This is an issue I’ve had forever, and I know it’s weird and on me so when this happens I either sit back and listen or find a way to occupy myself. The conversation is about the friend of my sister getting into a jet ski crash, and I see how that could be interesting, again talking is just not my thing. The conversation went on for about 2 hours. At 4:00 I came back because the conversation stopped, and the game was still all set up on the table. When I came back my cousin said, “It’s been to long, I told my friend Abe I would come visit him by now, because he just got his wisdom teeth taken out. Now 4:00 is that weird time of day where it’s too early to make night plans with friends, but too late to hop into the day once. This would mean I wasted an entire weekend day. I wanted to be as nice as possible while still showing my disliking of the situation. I definitely was nicer about it because his excuse was a real one. So i said, in an angry tone of voice, “I understand you need to go somewhere and you can do, but please let me know in advance next time. Don’t tell me you will play and then leave me hanging.” He tells me he’s happy to play for 20 minutes and I tell him id rather not, and i begin to clean up the game. He then starts to get mad at me and says “why do you think you can tell me what to do and where to go (in response to me telling him he can leave if he wants). I never even committed to playing, something has come up, why don’t you understand that.” I told him he misunderstood me and that I was saying I wouldn’t force him to play because I know that would be wrong, as he saying and am only asking that he let me know in advance next time. His friend who is on his side for the rest of the argument, agrees he did not say maybe, but he said yes. My cousin, again angrily, tells me I have no control over him, and he will go cause he wants to go. I at this point just finished cleaning up the game, so I whisper under my breath ‘no need to be an AH’ and walk away.

After about an hour of watching friends I come back hoping to forget this all happened, but then I realize he never left the house. He never left to his friends house and this is where the fight really started. It was long and there was a lot of repeating ourselves so here were our points.
Me: please make your intentions clear before committing to something. Say maybe if that’s the truth. Not going to your friends house after that being was terrible, and all I want is for this to not happen again.
Cousin: this was a spontaneous conversation I had no control over. You can’t tell me what to do and where to go. I am and you called me an AH over such a small thing before.
At some point he also said something like, “This is why people hate speaking to you, you never back down, and you try to control things. I’m the only person you know who is even willing to try and talk out this argument and not just walk away.”
This pissed me off and I left angry. We didn’t speak for a little bit and after about 2 days we forgot about it and let things go back to normal.

Now.. for the reason I’m posting… that friend that was there. Is a friend of mine too, and we have a like/hate relationship. You know, the kind of friends who like to insult each other all the time, and don’t really mean much to it. Recently, his response to most of my things is “who are you to talk you cried over flipped out over a card game. You are crazy.” This gets to me. Especially if it’s the way my cousin still sees this fight, because all I want him to understand, is that I didn’t freak over a card game, I freaked over the principle of ditching me, and how through the entire fight, he couldn’t just say, “it won’t happen again.” That would’ve ended it much sooner and him doubling and tripling down was what made it so much worse for me.

Doomsday trailer fakeout

I've seen a lot of people saying that there is an odd space between the members of the Fantastic 4 in the new Doomsday Trailer. I personally agree, believing it will be Steve Rogers. I think he is being blurred because he will come with the Fantastic 4 from their universe.

As I looked deeper, I began realizing many more oddities in this frame. I see enough space next to Thor and the other avengers that makes me believe they are trying to hide something. Possibly some more avengers... maybe Spider Man, Dr. Strange, Captain Marvel, Bruce Banner?

I also realized space to the right of the New Avengers. Maybe A whole new crew like the X-men are in that room.

My current theory is that they blurred that section in order to make you believe the full group is weaker than it is, and build suspense. Although I also believe their could more to their apparent blurring of many characters.

With the X-men line up, I expect to see Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, along with Tobey Maguires Spider Man instead of Tom Hollands with the Avengers. Of course, as well, I do not expect Marc Ruffalo's Hulk, but Ed Nortons. They will obviously not show this as bringing back these older actors will be a crazy reveal.

I then realized there is open ceiling room that looks a bit blurry, and upon further inspection I decided there is a good chance David Corenswet Super Man is flying above them and participating in this conversation. I also believe we will see Bat Men in the back left. By Bat Men is specifically mean: Adam West, Michael Keaton, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Lego, and Robert Pattinson. As well as a new Batman played by Henry Cavill. I also know Adam West died a while back, but they will add him to this scene with AI as an homage to his portrayal.

Now, as crazy as all o this is, I have reason to believe the room is a full room. Not only are there characters around the sides and flying up at the ceiling, but the center holds some of the most power people Doctor strange could fetch from the multi-verse.

I believe we will Optimus Prime in this room, as well as the pink power ranger and all 4 ninja turtles. Based on leaked news, and other evidence I've found, I also think the coolaid man will appear in this scene. Some other characters, that I am less confident about, but are definitely possible include: Forest Gump, Maximus (gladiator), Andy Dufrene (Shawshank), all the reservoir dogs, Cave Johnson, Merida (Brave), Fix-it-Felix (wreck it ralph), Minecraft Steve and the chicken Jockey, the state of Iowa, Yoda and Darth Vader (Star Wars), Lone Star (Spaceballs), Harry potter, Mr. Beast, Dr who (the girl one), Matt Damon's character 'private Ryan' but from an alternate universe where the movie is 'shaving private Ryan' and about his barber, Shrek and Donkey, Donkey Kong, King Charles, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, the costco guys, Olaf, Steve Harvey, John Mclaine, Terminator, Doc Brown, Indiana Jones, The t-rex from Jurrasic Park, Oscar from artspear entertainment's fanfictasia series, Oscar Isaac as Knight-Moon, and Ryan Gosling.

I am super confident in this. Pretty much guaranteed in the movie.

The Odyssey was too loud

As a huge fan of Nolan Movies, I went into theatres on opening day. I was expecting a masterpiece, and yet all I could focus on was the fact my head felt like it would explode. I saw some reviews saying things like, "it was a loud movie." In my opinion, that statement does not capture. I could not focus on the plot, or the visuals, or the characters because the movie was so loud it was hurting my ears and my brain. I made it to the scene with the Cyclops and I just couldn't take it anymore. I thought it was a mistake. I go to customer service and tell them its loud and they respond, "It's supposed to be loud, we've gotten many complaints, here's earplugs. At that point the movie was out for 16 hours only. How Many complaints could you have gotten, lower the fucking volume! I did actually enjoy the movie itself, but the theatre experience actually felt like torture, so hearing it wasn't a mistake annoyed me. Do you guys think I'm over reacting?

Is This Normal For a DND Party

I'm a brand-new DM running a campaign for a group that's almost entirely new to D&D, and I'm honestly getting really discouraged. I spend hours between sessions writing encounters, making puzzles, and trying to make the story interesting because I genuinely want everyone to have a good time. But when we actually play, it feels like nobody respects the effort I put in.

Players regularly get up in the middle of the game to have completely unrelated conversations. Sometimes they just ignore me entirely while I'm trying to narrate. One player in particular constantly argues with my rulings to squeeze every possible advantage out of encounters. On top of that, he misses about half the sessions without saying anything. He'll ignore calls and messages, then act like we're "harassing" him for trying to find out if he's coming. I've even told him he doesn't have to play if he isn't enjoying it, but he insists he loves the campaign. That same player—and a few others—will randomly put in AirPods during the game and then ask things like, "It's not my turn. What am I supposed to be doing?"

One session, two players intentionally split the party. While the rest of the group was fighting through a combat encounter I'd spent a lot of time preparing, the other two wandered off to find an empty field so their characters could... play soccer. While I was bouncing between both groups trying to keep everyone involved, the two players who left eventually took out an Uno deck and started playing. Even after combat finished, they just kept playing Uno instead of rejoining the game.

Another session, I made a puzzle encounter. Three of the players were genuinely engaged and having fun solving it, while the fourth spent almost the entire time on his phone. Then he looked up and said the encounter sucked because it wasn't designed well. When I told him that was honestly pretty insulting because I'd spent a lot of time making it—and he hadn't even been paying attention—he said I shouldn't be offended because I'm "a great DM," he just thought it was a terrible puzzle. Then, after finally getting off his phone and actually participating, he literally said: "This is actually fun, huh."

The following week I suggested we do a phone pile to help everyone stay engaged. Every single person agreed except that same player. He argued about it for two hours before finally pretending to put his phone away. He actually put his phone case in the pile and kept the phone. We only realized about half an hour later because he was... on his phone again. When we asked him to actually put it away, he physically cried over it.

Another player spends almost every session creating a completely made-up language instead of playing D&D. Every week it's a different one. When he isn't doing that, he has his head down on the table and barely participates in combat or puzzles.

At this point I honestly feel less like a DM and more like a babysitter. People constantly get distracted, play with random objects in the room, wander off, or just tune out.

The only consistently great player is the one person who's actually played D&D before. He's always engaged, tells me he enjoys the story and encounters, and has even said he thinks the other players are making the experience miserable.

I just feel like I'm putting in a huge amount of effort for people who don't seem to care at all. Instead of looking forward to sessions, I'm starting to dread them because it feels like I'm fighting just to get everyone to pay attention. Is this just what it's like DMing new players? Am I expecting too much? Or is this level of behavior actually as disrespectful as it feels? The only thing making me hesitate to end the campaign is that these are basically the only people I know who are interested in playing D&D. I don't know if I should stick it out and hope they improve, or accept that this group just isn't a good fit.
