Puny Pod | Phase 3 Episode 10 - Avengers: Endgame (Part 2: Into the Movie)

[00:00:00] What's up Puny Podians? Hey, it's your old friend Ryan here in the editing bay. Endgame is epic. We are releasing four episodes total on this. So if you are jumping in here, this is part two. This is where we are starting our movie breakdown. If you want to hear our pre-movie analysis and all the production details and all the things we remember, go back and listen to episode one. Look forward to episode three coming out next Tuesday, which will be the rest of the movie.

[00:00:29] And then episode four, which will be our closing thoughts. Anyway, let me hand it back over to Recording Booth Ryan. Go!

[00:00:37] On your left.

[00:00:39] So, we're gonna jump in with our Endgame breakdown. So we start off with an absolute gut punch of a scene. This is the new waterworks scene for me as a father.

[00:00:56] So we see the movie start. We see Clint Barton. He's wearing his...

[00:01:03] Oh gosh, yeah. Oh! Oh yeah.

[00:01:05] Yeah. He's wearing his Civil War mandated ankle monitor in his urban homestead. That's not urban, but...

[00:01:17] In his homestead in Iowa, he's teaching his daughter, Lila, who is played actually by Ava Russo, which is one of Joe Russo's kids.

[00:01:27] Really?

[00:01:28] Yeah!

[00:01:29] I did not know that.

[00:01:32] So he's teaching her how to shoot a bow. Well, his sons, Cooper and Nathaniel, Nathaniel named after Natasha Romanoff, play catch. He's also no longer fat, by the way. Nathaniel is no longer fat.

[00:01:49] Shots fired at Nathaniel.

[00:01:51] Is that Age of Ultron where she calls him fat?

[00:01:54] Yeah, yeah.

[00:01:56] Damn.

[00:01:57] Meanwhile, Mom Laura is grilling hot dogs and asks what I have to hope was not a scripted question.

[00:02:06] My first note. Yeah. Go for it.

[00:02:08] Do you want mayo or mustard or both on your hot dogs?

[00:02:14] Eric, as a Chicago native, tell us your opinion on mayonnaise on your hot dog.

[00:02:23] I'm gonna be vulgar again. Language!

[00:02:26] Thank you!

[00:02:28] Who puts mayo on a hot dog?

[00:02:30] I don't hate mayo as like an extra condiment down the line on your hot dog.

[00:02:35] I've had like, like I've had a really good like Sonoran dogs in Arizona.

[00:02:41] They have mayo and like beans.

[00:02:44] I don't mind some of the different takes on a hot dog, but seriously, you're some folks in just grilling hot dogs.

[00:02:53] You're not doing a thing.

[00:02:56] Like, I don't, I wouldn't have minded if they put ketchup on it.

[00:03:00] Yeah, why, why were your options?

[00:03:02] Just out in the middle of Idaho eating a hot dog.

[00:03:05] Why weren't your options ketchup or mustard?

[00:03:08] Right.

[00:03:08] Like that, that mayo?

[00:03:10] Cause, okay, I'm just gonna mark it right here.

[00:03:12] His wife is a scrawl.

[00:03:14] There's no other, no other explanation.

[00:03:16] And Clint hates his sons as a result.

[00:03:18] Oh, totally.

[00:03:19] Totally.

[00:03:20] Like you can tell like at this point in time, I'm just like, their Thanksgiving dinner has got to be the absolute worst.

[00:03:26] And he just like puts up with, he's like, sure.

[00:03:28] Yeah.

[00:03:29] Oh yeah.

[00:03:30] Well, we'll, we'll smear some ranch on the turkey.

[00:03:33] God.

[00:03:39] So, so yeah, this, this, I will say this, just this real quick, just to preface it.

[00:03:44] This scene was actually supposed to be at the end of infinity war and they moved it to the front of this movie.

[00:03:50] Oh, it's perfect as the beginning.

[00:03:52] It's perfect.

[00:03:52] Yes.

[00:03:53] And yeah, it brings us back in and reminds us of what we're missing.

[00:03:57] It totally.

[00:03:58] And Jeremy Renner among as with every other actor, other that's not named Robert Denny Jr.

[00:04:03] And Chris Evans did not have the full script.

[00:04:05] He didn't know what was happening.

[00:04:06] So his reactions are real.

[00:04:09] He did not.

[00:04:09] No one told him about the snap at this point in time.

[00:04:13] So when they killed all those actors and turned them into dust, he was really devastated.

[00:04:18] My goodness.

[00:04:18] That was, that was, you know what?

[00:04:21] Congrats to the union for letting that happen.

[00:04:24] Um, uh, and I'm sorry to all of the actors, but, uh, you know what?

[00:04:31] You were each given $7,000.

[00:04:34] Now I'm just imagining infinity war is a snuff film.

[00:04:39] Oh, no.

[00:04:40] Jesus Christ.

[00:04:44] Oh, okay.

[00:04:45] He was shot in the face.

[00:04:48] He doesn't feel so good.

[00:04:50] Um, so Clint tells his wife that they're hungry and he turns to Lila, but she's gone.

[00:04:57] He calls out to Laura.

[00:04:59] She's gone.

[00:05:00] So are Cooper and Nathaniel.

[00:05:01] By the way, their math on half of the human race.

[00:05:06] Really messy.

[00:05:07] Uh, half of all living beings.

[00:05:11] Yeah.

[00:05:13] Yeah.

[00:05:13] Clearly, clearly importance was not taken into effect.

[00:05:17] Clint's the only one left.

[00:05:18] It's.

[00:05:18] Yeah.

[00:05:19] It's brutal.

[00:05:20] Sorry.

[00:05:21] More, more hot dogs for Clint.

[00:05:24] Positive side, bright side, more mayonnaise for Clint.

[00:05:29] So Clint doesn't recognize the ash in the air because he wasn't it.

[00:05:34] Wakanda.

[00:05:35] He didn't know what was going on.

[00:05:36] Um, but we all know that this means that they've been snapped away by Thanos.

[00:05:41] Use the six infinity stones in order to wipe out half of the universe in infinity war.

[00:05:48] And I guess Clint can eat all the hot dogs he wants through his tears down.

[00:05:55] Oh gosh.

[00:05:55] And the song, the song.

[00:05:59] Oh yeah.

[00:06:00] The, the like Avengers theme.

[00:06:02] No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:06:04] Before the Avengers theme.

[00:06:06] Dear Mr. Fantasy, play us a tune.

[00:06:09] Oh, sing a song.

[00:06:11] Make us all happy.

[00:06:12] Like, Oh no, this is so morose.

[00:06:17] Yeah.

[00:06:17] Oh, so we get the Miller band.

[00:06:20] Or was that traffic?

[00:06:22] I don't remember who did.

[00:06:24] I think I was Steve Miller band.

[00:06:26] I think you're right.

[00:06:27] It does, but it, I was just going to say, it does do a really good job of bringing you

[00:06:31] to the emotional level of the last film we were left.

[00:06:33] Yeah.

[00:06:34] Oh yeah.

[00:06:34] It's so good to it.

[00:06:36] Yeah.

[00:06:36] Especially like we don't, we don't watch these as a marathon or anything.

[00:06:40] You'd be crazy to do so.

[00:06:41] But if you watch Ant-Man and the Wasp, and then you watch Captain Marvel, you need this

[00:06:50] kind of like ramp back into where we were at.

[00:06:55] Yeah.

[00:06:55] You need to, you need to feel devastated.

[00:06:58] Yeah.

[00:06:58] You need to feel what everybody else who's left feels.

[00:07:03] Um, and then we see the Marvel Studios logo and actually something interesting that

[00:07:08] I had not caught very many times is they scrubbed the, all of the snapped or assumed snapped heroes

[00:07:18] from the Marvel Studios logo, including Gamora, who I guess wasn't snapped, but sacrificed.

[00:07:25] Right.

[00:07:26] Um, and Ant-Man, Ant-Man is also scrubbed, but they went in and they re, they even re like

[00:07:32] animated.

[00:07:33] So there's like a, there's one of the scenes that's in the, the logo where like Scarlet Witch

[00:07:38] walks out a door and that, that scene is just a door.

[00:07:45] They, they had to reanimate this door not opening in Sokovia, um, which was really cool.

[00:07:50] And I think a really cool little attention to detail by the VFX guys.

[00:07:55] Absolutely.

[00:07:55] Yeah.

[00:07:57] So then we cut over to space where we see Tony lost in space with Nebula, who is, uh,

[00:08:08] she's learning to be a good person.

[00:08:10] Yeah.

[00:08:11] She's learning, she's learning from Tony what a good person is, which, you know, yeah.

[00:08:16] I mean, Guardians kind of broke her from Thanos.

[00:08:20] Yeah.

[00:08:21] But now she lost her sister, where in Guardians 2, uh, my favorite movie, uh, sorry, gents.

[00:08:31] Um, they, they have this battle and she learns to bond with her sister in a new way.

[00:08:39] And now her sister is for real gone.

[00:08:42] And she knows she is dead, dead.

[00:08:46] Yeah.

[00:08:47] Um, and now she's locked in a spaceship with a meat sack, uh, who is trying to just have an

[00:08:56] okay time with her.

[00:08:57] Yeah.

[00:08:58] Trying to show her how to play paper football with seemingly an emergency bank blanket all

[00:09:02] filled, all folded up.

[00:09:05] Um, and it's looking pretty dim at this point.

[00:09:09] The, the Benatar, which is their ship, um, is out of fuel, will soon lose its life support.

[00:09:16] And, and Tony records his final message to Pepper Potts.

[00:09:21] It's a real tear jerk, tear jerker.

[00:09:23] It is.

[00:09:24] And he even wipes a tear off of the left side of his, uh, helmet, which is maybe a little

[00:09:30] bit of foreshadowing for earlier or for later on, or I guess when you face it left side,

[00:09:35] it'd be his right.

[00:09:37] But, um, by the end of the quote, he says, please know when I drift off and, and be like

[00:09:49] everything lately, I'm fine.

[00:09:51] I'm totally fine.

[00:09:52] I dream about you because it's always you.

[00:09:56] Uh, which is a drawback to his or a callback to him naming her CEO of, of Stark industries,

[00:10:03] but also, you know, kind of as we've, as we have gone on about in this, uh, podcast,

[00:10:10] Tony was not the most faithful man in the world.

[00:10:12] So it being only you is, uh,

[00:10:15] it's only you unless it's like Christine Everhart in the first movie or can you blame

[00:10:22] him?

[00:10:22] I mean, I don't know.

[00:10:24] Rushman or any rando he hooked up with and took a break.

[00:10:27] Come on now.

[00:10:27] Anyway, it is a very, it is very somber.

[00:10:30] Yeah.

[00:10:31] It is very emotional moments.

[00:10:33] You, you kind of see that like, okay, he actually is new Tony.

[00:10:39] And, um, we saw the last movie where he's, he's bought like, he's talking to her saying,

[00:10:46] I had a dream.

[00:10:46] We had a kid.

[00:10:47] Could we have a kid?

[00:10:49] Yeah.

[00:10:49] Is this a thing we could do?

[00:10:51] So it's, it's not completely, you've talked about this in the previous movies where in the

[00:10:57] actual Iron Man movies, Tony does not really bond with her in, in any way, but, but you

[00:11:08] know, we go back to the previous Avengers movie and he's, we at least see he has tried.

[00:11:15] Yes, I would agree.

[00:11:16] I would agree.

[00:11:17] And also real quick survival, two quick survival questions.

[00:11:22] One Nebula, I assume doesn't need oxygen.

[00:11:26] Her, her cybernetic implants.

[00:11:28] I wrote that down.

[00:11:30] Like does she need to breathe or eat?

[00:11:33] Same question.

[00:11:34] Same question.

[00:11:35] I don't know.

[00:11:36] Maybe not, but two what's Tony drinking?

[00:11:39] Cause I assume they don't have drinkable water on the better.

[00:11:42] Um, they can filter their pee.

[00:11:44] Okay.

[00:11:45] I, he did design that into a suit, right?

[00:11:48] And in, in Iron Man two, when he's drunk, he pees and then tries to give pepper that water.

[00:11:55] I don't actually think that's what happens.

[00:11:57] It's a spaceship.

[00:11:58] They probably have pee filtering as it just a standard thing.

[00:12:03] Also.

[00:12:03] I assume that's called the bear drive.

[00:12:06] It takes the, the, your breath and makes it into.

[00:12:10] Oh, there you go.

[00:12:11] There you go.

[00:12:12] I like that.

[00:12:12] They've got a mural with a filter on it.

[00:12:14] Let's keep going.

[00:12:14] And this is not going to be, that's not going to be the craziest, unrealistic logic moment

[00:12:18] we will have in this movie.

[00:12:19] He's been out there for a while though.

[00:12:22] Look at how three weeks.

[00:12:24] That guy is three weeks.

[00:12:27] Are you like, that's the, that's the like official timeline is like three weeks.

[00:12:34] Dude.

[00:12:35] When he arrives on earth is a skeleton man.

[00:12:39] Yeah.

[00:12:40] Who needs IVs.

[00:12:41] Yeah.

[00:12:42] He needs IVs.

[00:12:43] He's completely emaciated.

[00:12:45] And I would assume that gravity, the gravity drive on the Benatar was not as strong as earth

[00:12:51] because I think that's part of what leads to the atrophy that we see him dealing with.

[00:12:57] I suppose.

[00:12:58] Okay.

[00:13:00] Um, but yeah, but he is, he is emaciated when he gets through this.

[00:13:05] Yeah.

[00:13:06] So just as his oxygen runs out, um, and he's preparing to drift off to sleep and take his

[00:13:14] Odin sleep.

[00:13:17] Um, he sees a golden glow approaching the ship and at the center, it is Carol Danvers.

[00:13:26] Is Carol looking for them?

[00:13:29] And that's a question I had is she just be bopping around the galaxy and she's like, oh,

[00:13:33] there's a ship out here.

[00:13:36] She's gotta be looking for them just because they're important people.

[00:13:40] I mean,

[00:13:41] And I would assume they had some sort of like SOS beacon that was activated and a trajectory

[00:13:47] across a few jump points out of tight.

[00:13:50] And she knew right.

[00:13:51] She, cause she, at the end of captain marble, we saw, she responded to the pager.

[00:13:56] She had come back to earth.

[00:13:59] Um, and talked to Nat and Steve.

[00:14:05] And then, and I would assume they had been like, Hey, we have a bunch of people on Titan.

[00:14:10] We don't know where the hell they are.

[00:14:12] Can you go round them up for us?

[00:14:14] Why is his ship toast by the way?

[00:14:18] I think it's out of fuel.

[00:14:19] I think.

[00:14:20] Yeah.

[00:14:22] Okay.

[00:14:23] I guess Nebula didn't know how to get to earth.

[00:14:26] So they aimlessly jumped.

[00:14:27] They couldn't figure out.

[00:14:30] They couldn't figure out the jump points back.

[00:14:32] Maybe this is like the argument for the last Jedi.

[00:14:36] This is the first time we've ever actually been confronted with fuel being a problem.

[00:14:45] Yeah.

[00:14:45] Yeah.

[00:14:46] Fuel is, is not a problem anywhere else.

[00:14:48] I mean,

[00:14:49] Oh, now it's, it's convenient.

[00:14:51] He might die.

[00:14:52] We don't know how to get him there.

[00:14:54] Yeah.

[00:14:55] Hulk, Hulk, uh, can take a Quinjet that you would think would only work in atmosphere and somehow make it to Sakaar, but.

[00:15:05] Well, I mean, he can pee in the gas tank.

[00:15:07] It's fine.

[00:15:08] There we go.

[00:15:09] It's Hulk.

[00:15:10] We're back to, back to the gamma fuel.

[00:15:13] I'm sorry, everybody.

[00:15:15] So Carol gets the better to our back to Avengers HQ where Tony and Nebula are reunited with the remaining Avengers.

[00:15:24] Tony is embraced by Pepper.

[00:15:25] Will Nebula and rocket share a somber moment?

[00:15:28] It's been 23 days since Thanos was last on earth.

[00:15:31] We learned that earth's governments have been reeling and that Thanos has successfully wiped out 50% of all living creatures.

[00:15:41] Uh, far more than 50% of named MCU characters though.

[00:15:45] Uh, we do see in the HQ, there are holograms showing people who, uh, fell victim to the snaps.

[00:15:52] You have Dr. Selvig, Shuri, T'Challa, Sam Wilson, Dr. Strange, Peter Quill, Groot, Drax, Mantis, assumed Scott Lang, though we'll find out a little bit different in a second.

[00:16:05] Hank Pym, Janet Van Dyne, Hope Van Dyne, Bucky, Peter Parker, Wanda, Maria Hill, Sharon Carter, and Nick Fury.

[00:16:14] I'd like to find Bill Samson and his entire family where they're like, all 18 of our kids are fine.

[00:16:24] Right.

[00:16:29] Oh, uh, ooh, I'm real sorry about, uh, about the Black Widow, but we're okay.

[00:16:38] We're all okay.

[00:16:40] Um, we can run the power plant by ourselves.

[00:16:48] So, so invite me to the show.

[00:16:51] Oh, we love it.

[00:16:52] We love it, Eric.

[00:16:53] We love it.

[00:16:55] David doesn't love it.

[00:16:56] Look at him.

[00:16:57] He's so sad.

[00:16:58] He's got a heart out in 12 minutes.

[00:17:01] He's got a heart.

[00:17:02] Oh, nevermind.

[00:17:03] We won't go there.

[00:17:05] Hey guys, push the tree button.

[00:17:06] Let's let's, we have an important topic and that's this movie.

[00:17:10] I'm kidding.

[00:17:11] So we see an emaciated Tony sitting in his wheelchair.

[00:17:17] He's angry at Steve over the Sokovia Accords and gives him an earful about how he needed the suit or armor around the world.

[00:17:25] Tony keeps prattling on about that.

[00:17:28] Um, but Cap failed to get anything going.

[00:17:32] And so, uh, when Steve asks Tony, um, if he had any clues to Thanos' whereabouts, Tony responds, I have nothing for you, Cap.

[00:17:42] I got no coordinates, no clues, no strategies, no options, zip, zero, nada, no trust, liar.

[00:17:52] Um, this CGI is cause he has to be CGI.

[00:17:57] Yes.

[00:17:58] Oh yeah.

[00:17:59] It's fantastic.

[00:18:01] Yeah.

[00:18:01] It looks completely real.

[00:18:04] Yeah.

[00:18:04] Unless they went back in time and picked up like drug adult, uh, RDJ.

[00:18:09] Oh no.

[00:18:10] There you go.

[00:18:11] Oh no.

[00:18:14] Um, and, and when he says zip, uh, nada, no trust, liar.

[00:18:20] He actually takes his, his arc reactor off, uh, and hands it to Steve.

[00:18:27] Proof that it's not necessary for his bodily function.

[00:18:30] It's just a thing that he need, he needs for safety.

[00:18:36] Yeah.

[00:18:37] Yeah.

[00:18:38] It's, it's at this point, it's, it is a hundred percent the armor and we, we hinted towards that,

[00:18:42] right?

[00:18:42] That's, I think Pepper said something in infinity war of like, if you were serious about this,

[00:18:47] you wouldn't have done that.

[00:18:48] And she taps the arc.

[00:18:49] Absolutely.

[00:18:50] Oh, tough.

[00:18:52] Look for cap here, man.

[00:18:53] Can you just like, let him chill out for a minute?

[00:18:54] Like just give him an IV and just let him take a nap.

[00:18:57] He was almost dead.

[00:18:59] Yeah.

[00:18:59] He's just grilling coordinates.

[00:19:01] Where is he?

[00:19:01] Like he can wait till tomorrow, man.

[00:19:03] Like it's fine.

[00:19:06] So after all that Tony has been through, he's in no shape physically or mentally to be

[00:19:10] of any help after getting washed by Thanos and watching those who cared for die around

[00:19:14] him, he has no fight left in him.

[00:19:18] Um, however, the Avengers are not giving up hope and they are ready to fight.

[00:19:23] But where is Thanos?

[00:19:25] Captain Marvel says that she may be able to track him down, but Nebula tells her not to

[00:19:29] bother because she already knows where he is.

[00:19:32] She tells him about, uh, she tells them about his garden, which is a distant planet that

[00:19:38] Nebula states Thanos wanted to retire to after his seeing his plans through.

[00:19:44] Banner is hesitant and asks why this will turn out different than last time.

[00:19:49] Carol says, because before you didn't have me.

[00:19:53] And then I, I loved road roadies line here.

[00:19:57] Hey, new girl, anybody in this or everybody in this room is about that superhero life.

[00:20:02] And if you don't mind my asking where the hell have you been this, this whole time?

[00:20:08] Oof.

[00:20:09] Carol, there are a lot of other planets in the universe and unfortunately they don't have

[00:20:14] you guys plot hole sewed and shut.

[00:20:23] Uh, that's where Carol's been for the last 30 years.

[00:20:26] David.

[00:20:27] I mean, come on.

[00:20:30] Yeah, come on.

[00:20:31] Don't don't you just.

[00:20:32] It's convenient, right?

[00:20:33] Let it go.

[00:20:34] Let it go.

[00:20:36] So Thor stands up and walks to Danvers.

[00:20:39] They meet eye to eye and Thor summons Stormbreaker, which whizzes right past Carol's head.

[00:20:45] She doesn't flinch and continues to stare at Thor.

[00:20:49] Thor smiles.

[00:20:51] I like this one.

[00:20:54] And suddenly we get the Bounchika Wow Wow.

[00:20:57] Oh, wait, that's a different movie I watched.

[00:20:59] Um, can you send me the link to that movie?

[00:21:06] Is that the one you call?

[00:21:08] It's the one Ryan called Avenger Endgame.

[00:21:13] Oh, no.

[00:21:15] Oh, no.

[00:21:15] Okay.

[00:21:15] Avenger Rear Endgame is the sequel.

[00:21:18] Oh, no.

[00:21:20] That's okay.

[00:21:20] We gotta focus here, guys.

[00:21:22] Let's go get this son of a bitch, says Steve.

[00:21:25] Language.

[00:21:27] Then we see the Avengers Endgame title and a modified version of the Avengers theme plays

[00:21:32] with about half the orchestration.

[00:21:36] We're about to end the movie, uh, yeah, half an hour in.

[00:21:40] Yeah.

[00:21:41] Yeah.

[00:21:42] Let's do it.

[00:21:42] Half an hour movie will be great.

[00:21:47] We, um, oh, I will also mention that, uh, Thor does have a favorite beer and I am on

[00:21:55] a quest to make that favorite beer or at least favorite brewery happen in the super secret

[00:22:01] spoiler show.

[00:22:01] It is a journey and we'll see if it happens, but every beer that Thor drinks in this movie

[00:22:08] is from one singular brewery and it's a craft brewery in Athens, Georgia.

[00:22:12] So.

[00:22:13] Thanks.

[00:22:14] Huh.

[00:22:14] We'll get to it.

[00:22:17] So, um, armed with a newly repaired Benatar, we see Carol, Steve, Natasha, Thor, Rocket, Bruce,

[00:22:27] and we think he's not a scroll yet.

[00:22:29] Rhodey flying to space to find Thanos and reverse the snap.

[00:22:33] But first, Rocky takes a quick poll of his guys.

[00:22:37] Hey, here hasn't been to space.

[00:22:39] And then Rhodey and Natasha and Steve raise their hand and like, he's like, and Rhodes

[00:22:43] like, why is he better not throw up on my ship?

[00:22:45] Um, and the Russos talk about this moment where you see Steve, um, close up on him.

[00:22:51] If you, if you look that they, uh, digitally reflect the scenery of him going into space.

[00:22:58] I'm not describing very well, but like the lights and so forth.

[00:23:01] And the Russos said, this is one of their favorite films in the movie.

[00:23:05] Uh, can I point out in this scene, this watching was the first time I realized Steve's star is back on his chest.

[00:23:15] In the previous movie, he had the ripped out star on his cool black and blue.

[00:23:23] You know, Maddie comment.

[00:23:24] The star is back.

[00:23:25] Yeah.

[00:23:26] Now I guess America's cool again.

[00:23:29] America's great.

[00:23:30] America's cool again.

[00:23:31] Maybe stars are cool again.

[00:23:35] Make stars great again.

[00:23:37] Got it.

[00:23:38] Um, so as they near the planet, Carol returned from her recon to report there are satellites,

[00:23:44] there are no ships, there are no armies.

[00:23:46] It's just him by himself.

[00:23:49] Eric, I have a science question for you.

[00:23:51] Um, you were here as our scientician because there's a lot to explain.

[00:23:56] What are your thoughts on humans?

[00:23:58] Terrans on space, travel, gravity breathing on another planet with nothing.

[00:24:05] Well, it depends on the planet and it appears that I mean, having somebody like Carol Danvers,

[00:24:11] who was formerly a human, she's now kind of an elevated human, but she can at least discern what it takes for a human to be in a place.

[00:24:23] Uh, she went down to the planet.

[00:24:25] She looked around.

[00:24:25] She saw, uh, she saw Thanos picking up a prickly pear.

[00:24:31] Uh, they, I mean, they use the good CGI in this, this, this scenario, but ultimately, uh, the important point scientifically is that she went down there and she said, yes, humans can probably stand around.

[00:24:49] And also Thor can chop somebody's head off.

[00:24:51] It'll be fine.

[00:24:53] Great.

[00:24:53] There are plenty of planets around the universe and they're almost all exactly the same.

[00:24:57] Great.

[00:24:58] That explains it for me.

[00:24:59] Thank you.

[00:24:59] So we cut to Thanos.

[00:25:00] He is on planet 0, 2, 5, 9 dash S, AKA the garden.

[00:25:05] He is as Eric mentioned, picking his fruit while his discarded armor is being used as scarecrow, just like at the infinite gauntlet.

[00:25:13] And just like the comic, uh, he I'm sorry, the infinity gauntlet comic.

[00:25:19] He slowly makes his ways up the stairs.

[00:25:21] He's kind of like ambling up.

[00:25:23] You need to not do in real well.

[00:25:24] Um, we've all felt that way in the morning time.

[00:25:27] He prepares a meal over an open fire.

[00:25:30] Retirement does not look too bad.

[00:25:31] So that is until the vendors show up.

[00:25:33] Carol hits Thanos with a photon blast and she, iron Patriot and Bruce who's wearing the hook buster armor restraints.

[00:25:40] And Thanos Thor arrives, uses storm breaker to chop off his left arm, which holds the infinity gauntlet.

[00:25:47] Probably should have done that in the last movie, but put that aside.

[00:25:51] Yeah.

[00:25:52] Well, so they, they, they turn over the gauntlet.

[00:25:55] Steve, Rhodey and Natasha, they turn up the rocket, turns over the gauntlet fund.

[00:25:58] The stones are missing.

[00:25:59] And when they ask for the location of the stones, then reveals that he destroyed them so that no one can use them again.

[00:26:06] Thanos says the universe required correction.

[00:26:09] After that, the stones served no purpose beyond temptation.

[00:26:14] Where are the stones?

[00:26:16] Gone.

[00:26:18] Reduced to atoms.

[00:26:19] You used them two days ago.

[00:26:21] I used the stones to destroy the stones.

[00:26:25] It nearly killed me.

[00:26:28] But the work is done.

[00:26:30] It always will be.

[00:26:40] We have to tear this place apart.

[00:26:41] He has to be lying.

[00:26:43] My father is many things.

[00:26:45] A liar is not one of them.

[00:26:55] Perhaps I treated you too harshly.

[00:26:58] And then Thor, it's just like decapitates Thanos right there.

[00:27:01] And I remember seeing this first time I was like, oh, wow.

[00:27:07] What's good.

[00:27:07] How do they get out of this one?

[00:27:09] So, um, and then rocket says, what did you do?

[00:27:12] And Thor says, I went for the head.

[00:27:15] And, um, I would note that this is the first beheading scene in a Disney film, which oddly has an explicit policy against showing beheadings on screen.

[00:27:24] So.

[00:27:24] I mean, the beheading didn't really happen on scene, but you did see the head kind of.

[00:27:30] Yeah.

[00:27:30] The, um, and then the title card slowly fades in and it reads five and then years.

[00:27:37] And you're like, oh, five years later.

[00:27:41] And it is, you have this, that was the moment of like, oh my God, what has happened?

[00:27:46] So in the, um, it is now the fall of 2023.

[00:27:50] We get a shot of New York city.

[00:27:53] Oh, last fall.

[00:27:53] Okay.

[00:27:56] It's New York city.

[00:27:57] Um, we get a shot of the Manhattan skyline, statue of Liberty, the city field where the New York Mets play.

[00:28:05] And then we cut to a support group being run by Steve.

[00:28:08] This is probably his, um, you know, an homage to Sam running his, uh, support group for veterans.

[00:28:15] And we see Joe Russo, AKA grieving man, um, sharing.

[00:28:21] And he talks about going on a date first time in five years.

[00:28:24] Uh, super woke.

[00:28:27] Uh, you know, he's talking about, you know, the going on a date with a guy, uh, another man.

[00:28:31] And he said, you know, what'd you talk about?

[00:28:32] This grieving man says, eh, same old crap.

[00:28:34] You know how things have changed my job, his job, how much we miss the Mets.

[00:28:39] Then things get quiet.

[00:28:40] Then he cried as they were serving the salads.

[00:28:42] And, um, and Steve gives them a pep talk.

[00:28:45] Like, that's great.

[00:28:47] You did the hardest part.

[00:28:48] You took the jump.

[00:28:48] You don't know where you're going to, you do, you don't, you didn't know where you were going to come down.

[00:28:53] And that's it.

[00:28:54] That's the, that's those little brave baby steps.

[00:28:57] You got to take to try and become a whole again, try and find purpose.

[00:29:01] And this is, he's telling it as much to himself.

[00:29:03] Right?

[00:29:04] So, um, the, uh, and then the title card reads San Francisco.

[00:29:12] And by San Francisco, I mean, it's really Atlanta, but I will put that aside.

[00:29:15] So impound facility.

[00:29:19] And Sanlandic.

[00:29:21] Uh, so in, in the scene, um, laying, we see a storage unit, uh, number six, one, six, which is a little, little, a little nod to the continuity of the MCU.

[00:29:35] I have not noticed that.

[00:29:36] Okay.

[00:29:36] And it's a space marked laying who, uh, was, we know was, um, and in there is the X-Con van and a bunch of other junk.

[00:29:45] And the, you know, one in 14 million includes a rat, the chances that the rat crawls across the front and like activates, you know, um, the quantum tunnel.

[00:30:00] And can, can we just, can we just take a moment to remember this rat?

[00:30:05] I was going to say early runner for MVP of this movie.

[00:30:09] Yeah.

[00:30:10] All hail rats.

[00:30:11] I mean, right?

[00:30:12] Like the entire world was saved by rats.

[00:30:20] All hail the rat king.

[00:30:22] All hail the rat.

[00:30:23] All hail the rat.

[00:30:24] So, uh, fires at the quantum tunnel, spits out Scott Lang slash ant-man where he's been trapped for five years.

[00:30:32] Felt like five hours.

[00:30:33] He, um, he, he holds up a help sign, which gets spotted by, uh, uh, Ken Jeong from community, the security guard.

[00:30:41] Yep.

[00:30:42] He's like set free.

[00:30:44] Great.

[00:30:45] Oh, it's so great.

[00:30:46] Um, he, uh, he set free and makes his way around the desolate city of San Francisco, trying to find out what happened.

[00:30:54] He goes to the large memorial that's near the, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[00:30:58] Can we back up just a moment here?

[00:31:00] Sure.

[00:31:01] I have to say when Scott comes out, he emerges from the van.

[00:31:07] He is in a pile of garbage.

[00:31:10] There's a football beanbag chair.

[00:31:12] And I just want to say that I had a very similar football shaped beanbag chair when I was growing up.

[00:31:20] Um, on my football beanbag chair, it had written on it.

[00:31:25] Don't kick this football, sit on it.

[00:31:30] And whenever I see this scene in the movie, I think of my old football beanbag chair.

[00:31:37] That's hilarious.

[00:31:38] I didn't notice it.

[00:31:38] I'll have to see that.

[00:31:39] But why would you write anything on it?

[00:31:42] Cause the one in the movie doesn't have anything written on it.

[00:31:44] It's pretty obviously a football shaped beanbag chair.

[00:31:48] You might kick that one.

[00:31:49] You might kick that one.

[00:31:50] Uh, the beanbag chair was invented by Italian designers, Piero Gatti.

[00:31:55] So sorry, Paulini and Franco Tadoro in the 1960s.

[00:32:02] Why am I doing this to you?

[00:32:04] No, it's great.

[00:32:05] This is the deep historical background that our fans come for.

[00:32:13] The designers were inspired by peasant bed mattresses that were filled with hay and wanted to create seating options that would be similarly loose and personal.

[00:32:25] Um, I thought that the beanbag chair would have been introduced in the 1970s, 70s, but no, it was the 1960s.

[00:32:33] Um, so just imagine sitting in a big beanbag chair surrounded by burnt orange shag in the 70s or the 60s.

[00:32:42] In your conversation pit.

[00:32:44] In your conversation pit.

[00:32:46] In your conversation pit.

[00:32:46] Absolutely.

[00:32:47] Oh, love a good conversation pit.

[00:32:49] Um, and that's, uh, that's the origin of the beanbag chair.

[00:32:55] I would, um, I would also go back to in the Ken Jeong, the security guard.

[00:33:01] That has to be like the worst MCU job I've seen to date.

[00:33:04] I need to go back and think about it, but like, just seems awful.

[00:33:08] Like nothing's security guard for storage facility unit.

[00:33:12] Oh, the worst, the worst.

[00:33:14] Anyway.

[00:33:15] So he goes to a large memorial.

[00:33:17] He's trying to, he doesn't know what's happened.

[00:33:19] He has no idea.

[00:33:20] He, he is somehow, um, posited that something terrible has happened and sees the names of

[00:33:25] Thanos's victims.

[00:33:26] He doesn't find Cassie's name of those that were flipped, but he does find his own name.

[00:33:32] Um, and the name of some of the Russo's other kids.

[00:33:35] So I can imagine the, the Easter eggs of just like all the names on there are probably

[00:33:40] like friends and family.

[00:33:42] All of them.

[00:33:43] There's like the art director from Thor dark world is on there.

[00:33:47] There are the like VFX studio head there.

[00:33:52] I, I looked it up and almost every name shows up somewhere in a credit somewhere in the

[00:34:00] MCU.

[00:34:01] You're saying Thanos headed out for the production design.

[00:34:04] Yeah.

[00:34:06] Exactly.

[00:34:08] Wow.

[00:34:08] Make sure they don't make a movie about me.

[00:34:10] Snap.

[00:34:10] Jerk.

[00:34:11] So he, um, he eventually walks through Garth.

[00:34:16] Garbage covered suburbs.

[00:34:18] He finds his daughter Cassie.

[00:34:20] Um, and this is just like the, the, what is for me, the first big gut punch of the movie.

[00:34:26] Um, she's now a teenager.

[00:34:28] The film crew, uh, have basically said they were misty eyed film, you know, filming this

[00:34:34] and that his, um, and the credit to his improv line.

[00:34:37] You're so big.

[00:34:38] And I was like, Oh my God, he's just missed five years.

[00:34:41] It's just, that's heartbreaking.

[00:34:44] And suddenly she'll look different in a, in a future movie.

[00:34:47] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

[00:34:49] Don't spoil it for me.

[00:34:50] Uh, we cut to a zoom chat.

[00:34:53] Natasha, Rhodey, rocket, Nebula, Carol, Okoye.

[00:34:57] And they are seeking to maintain a semblance of order on earth as much as you can.

[00:35:03] Carol mentioned, she's going to dip out for a bit.

[00:35:05] And for a bit, we mean for the next two and a half hours.

[00:35:08] And while Natasha makes a nervous manager,

[00:35:11] We can't afford her for the entire movie.

[00:35:13] We can't afford it.

[00:35:14] Exactly.

[00:35:15] Uh, she was like, you know, uh, Natasha's like the channel is always active.

[00:35:21] So if anything goes sideways and I was making trouble comes through me, um, road,

[00:35:26] hangs out on the zoom for a second.

[00:35:27] And that asks him where he is and him.

[00:35:30] He being, um, Clint Rhodes goes, Mexico.

[00:35:35] She asks him about it.

[00:35:37] She's like, road says Mexico.

[00:35:39] The federal has found a room full of bodies.

[00:35:40] Looks like a bunch of cartel guys.

[00:35:42] Never had a chance to get their guns out.

[00:35:45] Natasha's like, it's probably a rival gang.

[00:35:47] Rhoads like, except that it isn't.

[00:35:49] It's, it's definitely Clint.

[00:35:50] And she's trying to like talk herself out of it.

[00:35:52] It could have been like rival gang.

[00:35:54] And, um, you know, basically I got to tell you,

[00:35:57] there's a part of me that doesn't even want to find them.

[00:35:59] And then Rhodes promises to tell her where Clint turns up next.

[00:36:05] After the zoom chat ends, Steve shows up, tries to cheer up.

[00:36:09] And as they talk, they receive an alarm.

[00:36:11] It's someone at the front door.

[00:36:12] And it's Scott Lang.

[00:36:13] He was arrived at Avengers HQ.

[00:36:15] Don't know how we got here from San Francisco.

[00:36:18] Put that aside.

[00:36:19] But, um, one of the other things to note, and I know Brian, you saw it as well in the cutaway scene between Natasha and Steve, you see, um, ballet shoes, which is a rod to the red room.

[00:36:35] Right?

[00:36:36] Yeah.

[00:36:37] Yeah.

[00:36:37] I get a little bit of a hint towards Natasha's ballerina background.

[00:36:42] Um, you also, uh, in the zoom call, there's kind of a tip towards Namor.

[00:36:51] Uh, there's, there was an underwater earthquake in the middle of the Atlantic.

[00:36:56] And then a Koya basically says, we do nothing about it.

[00:36:59] That's due.

[00:37:00] That's what we do about it.

[00:37:01] Um, but little bit of like a, Hey, Namor exists.

[00:37:05] Don't forget.

[00:37:06] Namor exists.

[00:37:07] Don't worry about it.

[00:37:09] We'll digitally lessen his package later.

[00:37:14] Sorry.

[00:37:15] That's my favorite thing from that movie is that they had to, you know, yeah.

[00:37:22] Look more like the rest of us.

[00:37:25] It was too impressive.

[00:37:26] Sorry.

[00:37:27] What?

[00:37:32] Uh, I'll also mention, uh, just real quick.

[00:37:35] I, I forgot to jump in at this part, but when, uh, when we are at the wall, uh, at the wall

[00:37:42] of the like Memorial wall, the other onlookers are more of Russo's kids.

[00:37:47] So it's, uh, Joe Russo's son, Basil, his daughter, Sophia, and actually Sophia's boyfriend

[00:37:54] are the other onlookers at the Memorial wall.

[00:37:57] Awkward when they break up.

[00:37:59] Geez.

[00:38:00] Right?

[00:38:00] They get CGI'd out of the movie later on.

[00:38:03] Yeah.

[00:38:04] Could you imagine like not being married, just being like dating.

[00:38:08] And that is now literally the top grossing movie of all time.

[00:38:12] It immortalizes your like.

[00:38:14] I don't want to think about Brian.

[00:38:16] Oh no, I can't.

[00:38:21] It's one thing when it's wedding pictures, but you know, a movie is a whole movie that

[00:38:26] millions of people have seen.

[00:38:31] Uh, so let's, let's jump over.

[00:38:33] Let's get a whole bunch of exposition out of the way.

[00:38:35] Oh, good.

[00:38:36] Uh, Scott says, so as David had mentioned, Scott was on the monitor.

[00:38:41] Uh, is anyone home?

[00:38:44] This is a Scott Lang.

[00:38:46] We met a few years ago at an airport in Germany.

[00:38:48] I was the guy who got really big.

[00:38:50] I had a mask on.

[00:38:51] You wouldn't recognize me.

[00:38:52] Ant-Man.

[00:38:53] You know, you know that.

[00:38:58] Uh, Steven Natasha brings.

[00:39:00] You remember Ant-Man?

[00:39:01] Right.

[00:39:02] How can you not remember him?

[00:39:04] Uh, Steven Natasha brings Scott into a HQ where he tells them about his experience in

[00:39:09] the quantum realm where five years felt like five hours lucky for him because that means

[00:39:16] that he was apart from Cassie for that much less.

[00:39:21] He also, also explains why he does not age in real life.

[00:39:25] Can't wait for the next Ant-Man movie.

[00:39:27] Yeah.

[00:39:27] I hope they make a third one.

[00:39:36] Oh, the third Ant-Man movie.

[00:39:38] I'm just going to leave that there.

[00:39:39] Yeah.

[00:39:40] Apparently that's a thing.

[00:39:43] Yeah.

[00:39:43] Scott, time works differently in the quantum realm.

[00:39:46] The only problem is right now we don't have a way to navigate it.

[00:39:49] But what if we did?

[00:39:50] I can't stop thinking about it.

[00:39:52] What if we could somehow control the chaos and we could navigate it?

[00:39:57] But then there was a way to, uh, what if there was a way to, to enter the quantum realm

[00:40:06] at a certain point in time, but then you could exit the quantum realm at another point

[00:40:11] in time, like before Thanos.

[00:40:13] Steve, wait, are you talking about a time machine?

[00:40:16] Scott?

[00:40:16] No, of course not.

[00:40:18] Not a time machine.

[00:40:19] More like a, yeah, like a time machine.

[00:40:22] I know it's crazy, but I can't stop thinking about it.

[00:40:25] It's, it's, there's gotta be some way.

[00:40:27] It's crazy.

[00:40:29] Natasha, Scott, I get emails from a raccoon.

[00:40:33] Nothing sounds crazy anymore.

[00:40:36] Scott, so who do we have to talk to about this?

[00:40:39] So let's go find our wizard and our trio can walk down the yellow brick road.

[00:40:48] By wizard, of course I mean everyone's favorite genius billionaire playboy philanthropist Tony

[00:40:55] Stark.

[00:40:56] Five years after the snap, he's moved about a hundred, uh, or a hundred yards east over

[00:41:03] into a farm.

[00:41:05] Well, so here's the funny thing.

[00:41:08] When Tony steps off the porch of his house, if you look across the lake, the field that

[00:41:14] you see across the lake is the field where the battle of Wakanda was filmed.

[00:41:18] Oh my goodness.

[00:41:22] That's awesome.

[00:41:23] And you can actually Airbnb his cabin and I very much want to.

[00:41:27] Oh, please do.

[00:41:28] Um, I'll come with you.

[00:41:30] Yeah.

[00:41:31] Yeah.

[00:41:31] It's, it's one of those things I keep talking about.

[00:41:33] I'm like, I just need to make a friends, like a friend's trip.

[00:41:37] Cause it's like a eight room cabin or something crazy.

[00:41:40] It's, it's huge.

[00:41:41] Oh gosh.

[00:41:42] Yeah.

[00:41:42] Yeah.

[00:41:43] And I was like, let's all play poker there and go, I did it.

[00:41:48] Eat some cheeseburgers.

[00:41:50] Yeah.

[00:41:50] Let's go hang out there and hand wash all our dishes ourselves.

[00:41:54] Oh, hard pass.

[00:41:56] I've got notes about hand washing dishes.

[00:42:00] This guy.

[00:42:01] Um, so five years after the snap, Tony is married to pepper and they've had a daughter

[00:42:07] named Morgan who he also calls like Morgana or Morganus.

[00:42:14] I think a couple of times.

[00:42:16] Like, like, yeah.

[00:42:18] Yeah.

[00:42:19] Weird nicknames, but I mean, I guess I call, I call my son weird things, but, um, so they

[00:42:27] have a daughter and they're living in a remote cabin by a lake.

[00:42:31] Just then Steve Scott and Natalie arrive and are joined by a fan favorite MCU character

[00:42:38] that we haven't seen in a while product placement, the Audi Q4, uh, e-tron.

[00:42:46] So the, the electric Audi Q4.

[00:42:47] I own seven of them now because of this movie.

[00:42:52] So good to see Audi back again.

[00:42:54] I miss them.

[00:42:55] Yeah.

[00:42:55] It's, it's been a minute.

[00:42:57] It's been a minute.

[00:42:59] It's been a minute.

[00:42:59] Um, this also pays off Tony's reference to like naming a kid after peppers, eccentric

[00:43:06] uncle Morgan.

[00:43:08] So the, the, the group all hit all shows up.

[00:43:13] They pitched Tony on the idea of the time heist, uh, plan to use the quantum technology

[00:43:17] to go back in time in order to retrieve the infinity stones and undo the stamp.

[00:43:23] Steve is optimistic that they can pull it off, but Tony has his reservations.

[00:43:28] I've got to say that I sometimes miss that giddy optimism.

[00:43:31] However, high hopes won't help if there's no logical, tangible way for me to safely execute

[00:43:37] said time heist.

[00:43:39] I believe the most likely outcome will be our collective demise.

[00:43:42] Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel.

[00:43:45] That means no talking to our past selves, no betting on sporting events.

[00:43:49] I'm going to stop you right there.

[00:43:51] Scott.

[00:43:52] Are you seriously telling me that your plan to save the universe is based on back to the

[00:43:57] future?

[00:44:00] No.

[00:44:01] Good.

[00:44:01] You had me worried there.

[00:44:02] Cause that'd be horseshit.

[00:44:02] That's not how quantum physics works.

[00:44:05] Now, just so folks know experts were brought in as scientific consultants, including USC

[00:44:12] professor of physics, Cliff.

[00:44:14] Yes.

[00:44:15] Clifford V. Johnson and Caltech theoretical physicist Sean M Carroll in order to create a version

[00:44:21] of time travel that was true to real life theoretical physics and not like how it is commonly portrayed

[00:44:26] in popular media.

[00:44:27] Eric, science question about time travel using the quantum realm.

[00:44:33] Is this how you would recommend doing it?

[00:44:36] What everyone fails to grasp is the Hemingfield Saxon quadrilateral.

[00:44:41] They made this clear in 1978 in a paper.

[00:44:46] Please look at your history.

[00:44:48] People time travel is a matter of matter.

[00:44:51] You cannot move physical atoms and molecules through time without replacing them from whence

[00:44:57] they came.

[00:44:58] So this is literally the law of conservation of energy.

[00:45:02] How can you move mass from one part of the universe to another part of the universe where

[00:45:07] it still exists somewhere else in the same universe?

[00:45:09] It can't happen.

[00:45:12] That is my first statement on this matter.

[00:45:15] So you're telling me we have to do it like the Star Trek way where we destroy one version

[00:45:22] and the other version gets built.

[00:45:25] Oh, yeah, that one totally checks out.

[00:45:27] Yeah, for sure.

[00:45:28] Thank you for that.

[00:45:29] I was always confused.

[00:45:31] Continue.

[00:45:32] So they strike out with Tony and they have to move on to plan B.

[00:45:36] Someone else with a really big brain.

[00:45:40] Hello, Dr. Bruce Banner.

[00:45:43] Since they last met, Banner has gone to Mexico and successfully fused the banner side of his

[00:45:51] personality with the Hulk side.

[00:45:52] And now he is Smart Hulk or Professor Hulk.

[00:45:56] We see a fun little diner scene where Dr. Hulk poses for a photo with some young fans who are also played by Russo kids.

[00:46:10] How many kids do the Russo?

[00:46:12] Yeah, I will say only one.

[00:46:14] So I think it's all been Joe's kids up to this point in this group.

[00:46:18] One is Joe's kid.

[00:46:19] One is Anthony's kid.

[00:46:21] And the other one is a nephew of theirs.

[00:46:24] Just a local friend.

[00:46:27] Yeah, right.

[00:46:28] Hey, bring your kid.

[00:46:29] Bring your friend over.

[00:46:30] I know.

[00:46:30] I know he lives.

[00:46:31] I can't name an Atlanta landmark, but I know he lives by the Coke Museum.

[00:46:37] Bring him over to the shoot.

[00:46:40] I'm just saying.

[00:46:43] Yeah.

[00:46:44] Dab.

[00:46:45] Listen to your mom.

[00:46:47] I like Scott's take the goddamn phone.

[00:46:50] He's like.

[00:46:50] Yeah.

[00:46:52] They don't want to take a picture with Ant Man.

[00:46:54] It's so, so good.

[00:46:56] Meanwhile, Captain America and Black Widow are sitting there going.

[00:47:01] Wow.

[00:47:02] Nobody.

[00:47:02] And they're not even wearing hats.

[00:47:04] So the kids could have recognized.

[00:47:05] Oh my.

[00:47:05] They're not wearing.

[00:47:06] Forgot.

[00:47:07] No hats and sunglasses.

[00:47:10] So Bruce says it's outside of his area of expertise, but he could try and help with the time machine.

[00:47:16] Come back to Tony.

[00:47:18] It's nighttime in the cabin.

[00:47:19] He's washing and drying his dishes by hand.

[00:47:23] Poorly.

[00:47:24] David writes most of our breakdowns.

[00:47:28] And so this, this hand washing thing, David, I clearly you have something here.

[00:47:32] I just like, I cannot imagine that he would ever live someplace where he has to wash dishes.

[00:47:38] Like he's got, you know, nanobots.

[00:47:41] You can get some technology.

[00:47:43] Like good God.

[00:47:44] Like that explains why he can't wash a dish without spraying water across the entire damn room of him with a dead friend.

[00:47:54] Yeah.

[00:47:55] Yeah.

[00:47:55] He gets, he gets water on his picture and in front of it is a picture of his dad.

[00:48:01] Um, and who cares about his dad?

[00:48:03] It's Peter we care about.

[00:48:04] Yeah.

[00:48:05] We move.

[00:48:05] So he has to move the picture of his dad and we have the picture of the, of Tony and Peter.

[00:48:12] Um, that picture will never come back in the MCU.

[00:48:15] Not like six dozen more times.

[00:48:19] Oh, um, oh, wait, are you from the future?

[00:48:26] I time traveled.

[00:48:27] I just want to let you know that, uh, what you're failing to grasp about the future is cardigans.

[00:48:34] Um, it's very cold in the future.

[00:48:37] Uh, David and Ryan, uh, time travel, even colder.

[00:48:42] Uh, these people would have all frozen.

[00:48:45] All of the people who are time traveling, they would have frozen.

[00:48:48] Um, yeah.

[00:48:49] Is that why Dr. Who wears cardigans?

[00:48:51] Yes.

[00:48:52] Yes.

[00:48:53] Yeah.

[00:48:53] Perfect.

[00:48:54] Thank you for understanding.

[00:48:56] Yeah.

[00:48:57] Next topic.

[00:48:59] Uh, so we get a, a little scene where, where Tony's doing research on trying to figure out the time travel thing and he decides to invert the Mobius strip, I guess flipping it upside down makes it work.

[00:49:18] Um, and he figures it out and he goes, uh, head behind him.

[00:49:28] You hear shit.

[00:49:30] Great little scene where, where Morgan basically uses this to extort some juice pops, which is one of the least believable scenes from this movie as a parent.

[00:49:42] Morgan is getting all of the, uh, a parent.

[00:49:44] Morgan is getting all that sugar than going straight to bed.

[00:49:45] Yeah.

[00:49:46] Yeah.

[00:49:46] Freaking right.

[00:49:52] Could be some organic sugar-free thing though.

[00:49:55] Right.

[00:49:55] Oh, there you go.

[00:49:56] There you go.

[00:49:57] Oh, there we go.

[00:49:57] So what both of you failed to understand is that August Ferdinand Mobius was actually related to Martin Luther, uh, noted Protestant reformer and brewer of beer.

[00:50:08] The beer is important.

[00:50:10] The beer is important.

[00:50:10] Please hold onto that note.

[00:50:12] Mobius died in 1868, completely unaware of the existence of the Ford automobile, which was first established in, uh, 1896.

[00:50:22] Uh, drinking and driving was unheard of at the time because they didn't have anything to drive.

[00:50:27] They had alcohol, but they didn't have things that you could drive.

[00:50:30] So Mobius envisioned a two dimensional strip orientated in a one-sided plane in Euclidean space.

[00:50:39] But had he ever experienced a sweet Kolsch while behind the wheel of a fine automobile?

[00:50:46] No, he had not.

[00:50:48] And I will quote from the German that I am making up right now.

[00:50:57] Was der Wissenschaft nicht vergeten hatte, wer, dass der Film unhundererfundzig Jahre nach seinem Tod in die Kinos kommen werde.

[00:51:11] No.

[00:51:12] Thank you.

[00:51:15] Thank you for that.

[00:51:16] Uh, listeners don't, don't adjust your language settings.

[00:51:19] You did not go over into our German dub.

[00:51:22] Uh, that totally exists.

[00:51:25] That was great.

[00:51:26] That explains the Mobius strip model to me.

[00:51:29] Thank you.

[00:51:30] Yeah.

[00:51:30] Yeah.

[00:51:31] That's what David challenged me to do.

[00:51:35] And that was the last, I still have so many more comments about time travel, but that was the last one that I wrote.

[00:51:42] There'll be more.

[00:51:42] Don't worry.

[00:51:44] Yes.

[00:51:44] So then we get a cute little scene where Tony puts his, puts Morgan to bed, says, I love you tons.

[00:51:52] She has to one up him by saying, I love you 3000.

[00:51:58] Tony says 3000.

[00:52:01] That's crazy.

[00:52:02] Go to bed or I'll sell your toys.

[00:52:04] Love it.

[00:52:05] Yeah.

[00:52:06] Well, that scene.

[00:52:07] And, um, my understanding is that Robert Downey Jr.

[00:52:11] had this exchange with one of his kids.

[00:52:13] And basically the 3000 is like supposed to be more than 2000.

[00:52:18] Right.

[00:52:18] A ton is 2000 pounds.

[00:52:21] Um, okay.

[00:52:22] I love the people that put so much thought into it where they were adding up the amount of minutes in up to that point.

[00:52:30] Like, Oh no.

[00:52:33] Yeah.

[00:52:33] I think something like the infinity saga equals 3000 and one minutes, depending on what cut you're watching.

[00:52:39] Right.

[00:52:39] Like it, it's just a cute thing to say to your kid.

[00:52:43] Yeah.

[00:52:43] Right.

[00:52:44] Yeah, exactly.

[00:52:47] Um, so after he tells Pepper or after Tony tells Pepper that she was in the low six to 900 range, uh, he tells her that he figured out time travel in this scene.

[00:53:00] Tony's conflicted.

[00:53:01] He's figured out time travel, but he's afraid of what may happen.

[00:53:05] I can't help everybody.

[00:53:06] Pepper sort of seems like you can Tony.

[00:53:09] Not if I stop, I can put a pin in it right now and stop pepper.

[00:53:16] Tony trying to get you to just stop has been one of the few failures in my entire life.

[00:53:21] The two things that I like about this scene, one, you know, that she's like really disappointed.

[00:53:26] It wasn't some sort of breakthrough about composting.

[00:53:29] Right.

[00:53:30] And then two, it's the way in which she approaches this.

[00:53:34] Like, it's almost like trying to talk your, your partner into like going on, um, a bachelor party in Vegas.

[00:53:43] He was like, Oh no, I don't really want to go.

[00:53:45] But like, she was like, well, it is your, you know, it's your cousin, you know, one of your closest cousins.

[00:53:50] And like, yeah, but I can put a pin in it.

[00:53:53] I don't have to go.

[00:53:54] It's like, no, it's fine.

[00:53:55] You know, she's just like, she's had years of these conversations.

[00:54:02] And we get this little moment where Pepper asks, you know, sort of similar, right?

[00:54:08] And this is part of the bargaining.

[00:54:10] Would you be able to rest, which this will come back a little bit later on in the movie.

[00:54:14] Um, yeah.

[00:54:16] And, and gives the green light.

[00:54:18] So we go back over to Avengers HQ where smart Hulk, Scott, Natasha, and Steve are playing around with time travel.

[00:54:27] Smart Hulk tells Scott that he's going to send him back a week, let him walk around for an hour and then bring him back in 10 seconds.

[00:54:35] Scott then comes back as a 10 year old.

[00:54:38] Just kidding.

[00:54:40] Let's, let's try that again.

[00:54:42] Brings him back as an old man.

[00:54:44] And then a baby.

[00:54:46] And finally, as proper Scott.

[00:54:50] Someone peed my pants.

[00:54:51] I'm not sure if it was baby me or old me, or was it just me, me?

[00:54:56] Or was it just me, me?

[00:54:59] And then a great little, I use a, I use a gif of, of Hulk's quote here.

[00:55:04] And he goes, time travel.

[00:55:07] What?

[00:55:08] I see this as an absolute win.

[00:55:12] Are we just going to ignore the fact that Hulk discovered a method of reverse aging though?

[00:55:16] Right.

[00:55:19] Like we did, we did put time through the person instead of time.

[00:55:24] Yeah.

[00:55:25] Um, so Steve heads outside to, to, you know, mull it over, get some fresh air.

[00:55:32] Just then Tony arrives at Avengers compound in a Audi e-tron GT.

[00:55:38] Wow.

[00:55:40] Why the long face?

[00:55:42] Let me guess.

[00:55:43] He turned into a baby.

[00:55:45] Tony says it's the EPR paradox.

[00:55:47] Instead of pushing Lang through time, you've wound up pushing time through Lang.

[00:55:51] It's tricky, dangerous, and somebody could have cautioned you against it.

[00:55:55] Steve says you did.

[00:55:57] Tony.

[00:55:58] Oh, did I?

[00:55:59] Well, thank God I'm here.

[00:56:00] I love this moment.

[00:56:02] Cause it's very much like in character for Tony without him being a complete douchebag.

[00:56:07] He's still douchebag light.

[00:56:11] Yeah.

[00:56:11] He, yeah, he's a douchebag adjacent for sure.

[00:56:15] I also like, he's in an electronic car, but it still makes revving noises as it approaches the campus.

[00:56:20] Well, this, that, that was like of the time they were like putting those speakers on the electric cars that you could do.

[00:56:27] You could pipe like tie fighter noises in.

[00:56:29] Yeah.

[00:56:30] They, they need to make some noise so you don't get hit by a car that you can't hear.

[00:56:35] Correct.

[00:56:35] Yep.

[00:56:36] Yeah.

[00:56:36] Um, I would also like to point out that one of the things that Hulk, uh, also failed to grasp is the Arturo Sandoval paradox.

[00:56:47] Part three.

[00:56:48] Um, if jazz can exist in the universe, then can time travel?

[00:56:52] There's a lengthy paper by Alexander Dubois in physics psychics annual that, uh, contests that argument.

[00:57:00] Huh?

[00:57:01] Yeah.

[00:57:02] Read it and, uh, let me know what you think.

[00:57:05] Read it and weep.

[00:57:08] Um, no, you don't have to weep, but you might, you might, you will.

[00:57:17] Along with being a science titian, uh, Eric is also a jazz assist, so.

[00:57:22] I'm, I'm also a jazz assist and a, uh, uh, psychicist.

[00:57:27] Oh.

[00:57:29] Uh, Tony shares that he's developed a space time GPS, which I am amazed they have not made a magic band version of yet.

[00:57:37] Oh, completely.

[00:57:37] Oh gosh.

[00:57:38] Yes.

[00:57:39] The perfect, the perfect peach of piece of merchandise that they have never produced.

[00:57:45] Hey, hey, Disney, when you hear this and you make that, I want in.

[00:57:49] Um, he helps, he offers to help with the time heist, but no matter what they do, it cannot endanger his family.

[00:57:58] Tony's, uh, Tony and Steve finally bury the hatchet and Tony offers Steve back his shield.

[00:58:04] Tony tells him to keep it quiet because he didn't bring one for the whole team and then asks if they are in fact getting a whole team.

[00:58:13] I'm glad that the Audi has a good size trunk cause the shield is pretty big.

[00:58:18] Yeah.

[00:58:19] I, I don't have the exact specs, but it does have a spacious rear, uh, rear cargo compartment.

[00:58:27] It's got a spacious rear.

[00:58:28] Oh boy.

[00:58:29] Yes.

[00:58:29] Oh no.

[00:58:30] As, as Scott attempts to eat some crispy tacos outside Avengers compound, Benatar arrives with Nebula and rocket.

[00:58:39] Who's looking for big green.

[00:58:41] Who's looking for big green.

[00:58:42] And so does the iron Patriot, uh, missing the idiot in the landing zone.

[00:58:48] Um, we're just missing a few more Avengers.

[00:58:51] This, this, this scene was great because as the Benatar lands, it's like after it's thrust knocks the tacos out of Scott's hand and you have to get, uh, or, and, um, Hulk walks up giving, giving ant man.

[00:59:12] What's up regular size man.

[00:59:14] Yeah.

[00:59:16] So good.

[00:59:18] As a taco aficionado.

[00:59:20] I was very saddened by that scene of him losing his tacos.

[00:59:22] So there's so much, so much lettuce and a small amount of meat.

[00:59:27] So I know those are not like true, authentic, like San Francisco mission tacos.

[00:59:32] Those look like some, yeah, totally taco bell.

[00:59:35] So, but it is Atlanta.

[00:59:36] So whatever.

[00:59:38] As Tony and Bruce nerd out on the time machine, the Avengers reach out to others for aid.

[00:59:45] So first thing we see Hulk and rocket ride in the back of truck to a Norwegian town named new Asgard, AKA tons Berg.

[00:59:53] I think I said that right that we have seen in Thor where Odin and the Asgardians fought Laufey and the frost giants.

[01:00:00] Odin that later bought the Tesseract there.

[01:00:02] We saw it again in 1942 and Captain America where you'll hand Schmidt, AKA red skull discovered the Tesseract and which is later recovered by Howard Stark and shield.

[01:00:13] So we're going back to the, going back to familiar territory there.

[01:00:17] They hope to visit Thor banner sees Valkyrie and says, ah, Valkyrie.

[01:00:22] Great to see you angry girl.

[01:00:24] That was terrible.

[01:00:25] It's supposed to be more New York.

[01:00:26] Anyway, she tells them that Thor is a recluse and won't see them.

[01:00:31] She tells them they only comes out once a month for supplies, AKA beer.

[01:00:38] Hulk and rocket make their way to Thor's home where they knock on the door and ultimately let themselves in there.

[01:00:43] They find a shirtless fat Thor who's had a few beverages that morning and is super excited to see Hulk and rocket Thor introduce them to Korg and meek who invite them to beers and open Wi-Fi.

[01:00:54] Korg is playing Fortnite and warns Thor that he's being bullied online again.

[01:00:58] And we had this fun scenes like he's like, Hey, yeah.

[01:01:04] New master called me a dickhead.

[01:01:06] Thor's like new master.

[01:01:09] Hey, it's Thor again.

[01:01:10] You know, it's the God of thunder.

[01:01:12] Listen, buddy, if you don't log off this game immediately, I'm going to fly down to you over your house, come down to that basement you're hiding and rip off your arms and shove them up your butt.

[01:01:20] Oh yeah, that's right.

[01:01:21] Go, go cry to your father, you little weasel.

[01:01:24] A couple things about this real quick.

[01:01:27] Originally, the Russos claimed that new master 69 was Wong.

[01:01:32] And then later in an Xbox tie in advertisement for the Falcon, the winter soldier, it was revealed that there was Aaron, the Apple store employee from Captain America.

[01:01:41] Oh, I have been Aaron.

[01:01:46] Exactly.

[01:01:48] So a couple of other things real quick.

[01:01:50] The Thor wears gloves the entire time to cover the seams on his fat suit.

[01:01:56] It is not a great fat.

[01:01:58] It's not great.

[01:01:59] It's not great, but whatever.

[01:02:00] It's fine.

[01:02:02] There's a lot of belly.

[01:02:03] There's a lot of there's a lot of stomach there.

[01:02:06] Valkyrie core, but his face looks the exact same.

[01:02:10] Valkyrie core can make if you remember survived on the escape pod from the last movie at the very beginning.

[01:02:15] Korg is wearing the same Hawaiian shirt that Taika Waititi wore at San Diego Comic-Con while promoting Ragnarok.

[01:02:22] And he was the fat suit was just supposed to be temporary, but Hemsworth thought it'd make fun to make his art for the entire movie.

[01:02:31] So Thor sorts that out.

[01:02:35] Character wise, though, like, imagine what it's like to be an inch away from saving the entire universe.

[01:02:44] Oh, totally.

[01:02:46] You should have gone for the head like this dude.

[01:02:50] Oh, he.

[01:02:51] Yeah, he's gone through it.

[01:02:53] Yeah, yeah.

[01:02:54] Yeah.

[01:02:55] Yeah.

[01:02:55] I get it.

[01:02:57] And I think the fat suit is probably the quickest and easiest way to show.

[01:03:04] Oh, this guy knows he screwed up.

[01:03:07] Mm hmm.

[01:03:07] I knows he could have prevented all of this.

[01:03:10] And.

[01:03:13] Yeah, we get into it more later.

[01:03:16] And it's it that they kind of play it off a little maybe too comical for the rest of the movie.

[01:03:24] But.

[01:03:26] But yeah, it helps as a shorthand to say this guy knows.

[01:03:32] He's the one that could have prevented all of this from happening.

[01:03:36] He could have hit Thanos in the head.

[01:03:38] He could have ended everything last movie.

[01:03:40] And we wouldn't have to watch this three hour movie that we all like.

[01:03:44] Yeah, no, he's he's completely.

[01:03:46] You raise a really good point.

[01:03:48] He is completely.

[01:03:51] Shook.

[01:03:52] He is frightened of of the prospect of, you know, of going and, you know, potentially trying to like fight Thanos again.

[01:04:01] And so when they're when they're trying to persuade him to join the cause, he's not interested.

[01:04:06] Until rocket tries to announce 10 ties Thor by telling them that there's more beer on the spaceship and Thor goes.

[01:04:11] What kind?

[01:04:12] What kind?

[01:04:13] It's my question for you.

[01:04:14] You're in Thor shoes.

[01:04:15] What beer is it?

[01:04:17] If I said, hey, guys, I've got this beer on the spaceship, they would be like, fine.

[01:04:20] Okay, I'll come aboard.

[01:04:21] Like, what would be your go to like?

[01:04:23] Yeah, I have to have that.

[01:04:24] I mean, personally, I don't know.

[01:04:26] I think Thor probably wants a.

[01:04:31] A dark beer that was maybe fermented on spruce.

[01:04:40] You know, get a get a little little bit of that Nordic flair to it.

[01:04:44] I think.

[01:04:45] I think.

[01:04:46] Is that the Icelandic?

[01:04:48] Yes, it is.

[01:04:49] Yeah, it's delicious.

[01:04:50] Let's go for that one.

[01:04:52] Okay.

[01:04:53] Ryan, what beer would get you to join this fight?

[01:04:58] Well, I would probably have to go with the wasabi and soy sauce sour made by Weldworks Brewing.

[01:05:12] That sounds wild.

[01:05:14] No, thank you.

[01:05:15] Oh my goodness.

[01:05:16] I want to try it.

[01:05:17] I absolutely want to try it.

[01:05:19] Yeah.

[01:05:19] That is wild.

[01:05:21] So.

[01:05:21] Wow.

[01:05:22] What's up?

[01:05:23] Yeah, I saw that like the other day.

[01:05:25] I was like, oh, all right.

[01:05:27] Weldworks is really getting out there.

[01:05:29] That's crazy.

[01:05:30] So we, we then cut to Tokyo, AKA Atlanta again.

[01:05:35] It's dark and rainy.

[01:05:37] I'm just going to keep pointing that out.

[01:05:38] And we see a battle between a mysterious figure and a local crime game.

[01:05:42] Ronin is this brutal, is brutal and vicious.

[01:05:45] He makes quick work of the gang for confronting the crime, the crime Lord, um, who is named Aki, Akihiko and is played by, um, uh, hierarchy Sonata who was in Shogun Logan Westworld bullet train John with four great actor.

[01:06:03] Wish he was in this more.

[01:06:04] And they, they say in Japanese, which I will not attempt to do.

[01:06:08] What are you?

[01:06:08] Why are you doing this?

[01:06:09] We never did anything to you.

[01:06:10] Ronin says you survived half the planet.

[01:06:12] Didn't they got Thanos.

[01:06:14] You get me.

[01:06:14] And they fight and Ronin's like, why are you?

[01:06:17] You're done hurting.

[01:06:18] Ronin says you're done hurting people.

[01:06:20] And, uh, Akihiko says we hurt people.

[01:06:25] You're crazy.

[01:06:26] They fight again.

[01:06:27] He's wounded twice.

[01:06:28] He drops his sword falls on his knees and he says, wait, wait, I'll help me.

[01:06:32] I'll give you anything you want.

[01:06:33] What do you want?

[01:06:34] And then, um, Ronin Clint says in English, what, what I want, you can't give me.

[01:06:39] And then just kills them.

[01:06:40] And it's just this brutal, brutal scene.

[01:06:43] And he white, like wipes the blood on the sleeve of his arm off of his sword.

[01:06:48] And, um, and yet a good 15, 20 feet away.

[01:06:53] He knows that Natasha is there and I was watching it happen.

[01:06:57] Just watching it happen.

[01:06:59] And like, I don't know if it's her perfume or whatever.

[01:07:02] Like this is someone he knows extremely well.

[01:07:07] Um, he turns and he sees Natasha.

[01:07:09] He basically says, I think he says, you shouldn't have come here.

[01:07:11] And, you know, we've, at this point in time, we find out that Ron is actually Clint.

[01:07:15] Um, and that the death of his family is turned into like a raging revenge monster.

[01:07:22] But he, um, he joins on the very remote chance of seeing his family back in the fold.

[01:07:27] So we cut to the Ventures compound.

[01:07:30] And there we see the team gathering as they prepare to test out the time machine.

[01:07:34] Thor is drinking his morning beer.

[01:07:36] Why not?

[01:07:37] Um, who doesn't?

[01:07:38] It is a, uh, tropicalia IPA by creature comforts in Athens, Georgia.

[01:07:43] Tony says, move it.

[01:07:44] Lebowski is hauling stuff by.

[01:07:46] Uh, we see rocket working on the time machine.

[01:07:49] Scott is trialing out the new time travel suit.

[01:07:52] Scott snaps at smart as he tries to put on a normal size file of pin particles using his enormous figures.

[01:07:58] There's this funny scene where it's like the pin particles like this big and he's just trying to jam it in there.

[01:08:03] Like, Hey man, we only have so many of those.

[01:08:05] So, uh, we only have enough pin particles to pull off the various time travel runs plus two test runs.

[01:08:12] Um, well make that one test run because they mess up then.

[01:08:17] Which, uh, leads to a point where Roddy and Scott suggest going back in time and killing baby Thanos before he gets the stones.

[01:08:24] And he's, Roddy does his pantomiming strangulation.

[01:08:28] It's so slow.

[01:08:30] It's so slow.

[01:08:32] Uh, I will side note.

[01:08:34] Roddy is actually very funny in this film.

[01:08:36] I really enjoyed, um, the scene.

[01:08:38] First of all, that's horrible.

[01:08:40] It's Thanos.

[01:08:41] And secondly, time doesn't work that way.

[01:08:43] Changing the past doesn't change the future.

[01:08:45] Look, we go back, we get the stones before Thanos gets them.

[01:08:48] Thanos doesn't have the stones.

[01:08:50] Problem solved.

[01:08:51] Bingo.

[01:08:51] That's not how it works.

[01:08:53] Well, that's what I heard.

[01:08:54] Wait, but who?

[01:08:54] Who told you that?

[01:08:55] Star Trek, Terminator, Time Cop, Time After Time.

[01:08:58] Quantum Leap.

[01:08:59] Wrinkle in Time, Somewhere in Time.

[01:09:00] Hot Tub Time Machine.

[01:09:01] Hot Tub Time Machine.

[01:09:02] Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

[01:09:04] Basically any movie that deals with time travel.

[01:09:07] Die Hard?

[01:09:07] No, that's not what I...

[01:09:08] This is known.

[01:09:09] I don't know why everyone believes that, but that isn't true.

[01:09:12] Think about it.

[01:09:12] If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future.

[01:09:16] And your former present becomes the past, which can't now be changed by your new future.

[01:09:22] Exactly.

[01:09:24] So Back to the Future is a bunch of bullshit.

[01:09:26] And at this point in time, you realize that Scott and Rhodey and Clint are probably the dumbest Avengers.

[01:09:32] Like...

[01:09:35] Now, Barton volunteers to be the time travel test dummy because he figures like he's got nothing to lose, right?

[01:09:41] Like he either...

[01:09:42] If it works, then he might have the chance of finding his family.

[01:09:45] And if it doesn't work, he doesn't care.

[01:09:48] You know, put him out of his misery.

[01:09:50] So...

[01:09:51] He enters the quantum realm, travels through a series of quantum tunnels, and lands back at his house.

[01:09:58] He hears his family talking inside the house, rushes in to see them.

[01:10:01] You know, picks up a glove only to be transported back to the present.

[01:10:05] So Clint not only survived the trip, but succeeded in bringing back the baseball mitt, which answers the critical question about whether the plans to steal the stones from the past could actually succeed.

[01:10:17] Um, now I will put aside the fact that the...

[01:10:20] Earlier on, they said they're going to send him back in time alone and walk around for an hour was really more like three minutes, but whatever.

[01:10:26] Um, but Eric, science question for you.

[01:10:28] Whether I have a...

[01:10:30] Whether the glove would be the same age as it was when it was transported or when it would get older.

[01:10:36] So what you're failing to grasp in this, this entire concept is the bread protein paradox.

[01:10:43] In any, any, any given casserole, think of a casserole.

[01:10:47] Okay.

[01:10:48] Are you thinking of a casserole?

[01:10:49] I am.

[01:10:50] I'm closing my eyes.

[01:10:51] Okay.

[01:10:51] Yeah.

[01:10:52] I'm thinking of hot dish.

[01:10:53] Um, open your mouths.

[01:10:56] Okay.

[01:10:57] All right.

[01:10:59] There's a spoon coming for you and it's got some casserole.

[01:11:03] Choo choo train.

[01:11:05] There's a necessary balance between the ingredients, uh, in this casserole between protein and the filler.

[01:11:13] Sure.

[01:11:14] The success of a casserole is based on which starch you use and its proportion to the protein mixed within.

[01:11:24] What are we talking about?

[01:11:26] So that's like how the Pym particles mix with quantum proteins, right?

[01:11:31] Oh, that's right.

[01:11:32] Because, uh, yeah, back in 1976, uh, Frank Grimes, uh, proved that this type of, of time travel is possible because he gathered all of the Pym particles that were currently available in that time and brought them to a nuclear power plant in Springfield.

[01:11:50] Oh, wait, sorry.

[01:11:50] That was 1997.

[01:11:52] Uh, the entire universe conspired against him and he was absorbed into the eternal ether that feeds the soul stone.

[01:11:59] This is more of a comics thing than the movie thing.

[01:12:03] Oh, yeah.

[01:12:04] Yeah.

[01:12:04] That's how the soul, the soul universe, uh, came to exist.

[01:12:09] Um, I'm sorry for mixing casserole with Pym particles.

[01:12:15] It makes a lot more sense to me though, personally, to be honest.

[01:12:18] Okay.

[01:12:18] Oh, good.

[01:12:19] I'm glad that the analogy worked out well.

[01:12:22] Um, you're welcome.

[01:12:25] You asked for this.

[01:12:27] I know.

[01:12:28] I did.

[01:12:28] I have several more.

[01:12:30] Okay.

[01:12:32] With the time machine complete, it is time to formulate a plan of action.

[01:12:36] They meet in a conference room.

[01:12:38] The screen reads as meeting brainstorm session, because even after the semi apocalypse, you still need to keep good notes.

[01:12:47] Oh, good.

[01:12:49] So they have to figure out, uh, where and when they can collect all the infinity stones.

[01:12:58] Thor wakes up from his alcohol induced slumber and tells a rambling story about the aether that's more of a scary sludge.

[01:13:09] Don't call it a reality stone.

[01:13:11] And then he immediately calls it a stone.

[01:13:14] Uh, talks about his old flame.

[01:13:17] Jane Foster gets kind of lost in talking about her and talks about how she was infected by the aether.

[01:13:25] So he could.

[01:13:28] So he took her to Asgard where she met his now dead mother.

[01:13:32] I love that.

[01:13:33] I mean, don't, don't be wrong.

[01:13:35] Don't get me wrong.

[01:13:36] We've all been on that kind of fuzzy early morning zoom call, but like Tony's like, why did you come sit down?

[01:13:41] He's like, I'm not done.

[01:13:42] He's like eggs and breakfast.

[01:13:43] He's like, no, I'd like a bloody Mary.

[01:13:44] Just like, just, he's just continue the bender.

[01:13:47] Like he's just going to power through.

[01:13:48] It's great.

[01:13:49] There's so much of this movie that is 2020 coded.

[01:13:52] Like so much of the like post snap, the, the, after the five year jump that feels so strongly of those 2020 lockdown days.

[01:14:07] My goodness.

[01:14:08] We didn't know what we were going toward.

[01:14:12] Yeah.

[01:14:15] Um, rocket tells, uh, how Peter, a person, not a planet, uh, stole the power stone while on Morag, a planet.

[01:14:29] No, Nebula talks about how Thanos found the soul stone on for a mirror where Thanos murdered her sister Gamora to which Scott replies.

[01:14:40] Not it.

[01:14:43] Uh, by the time they get to the mind stone, the team is getting pretty loopy.

[01:14:49] They're going off on tangents, you know, not unlike our favorite podcasts.

[01:14:55] Um, wait, which one?

[01:14:56] Like all the best ones.

[01:15:02] Uh, they're trying to figure out what type of doctor, doctor strange was what street the sanctum Sanctorum is located on.

[01:15:10] Bleaker and Sullivan.

[01:15:15] They're, they're fueled by hulka hulka hulka hulka burning love or burning fudge.

[01:15:21] Um, Natasha breaks the conversation when she realizes that three, the three stones that they're still trying to figure out mind space and time were all in New York at the same time.

[01:15:34] Um, it's kind of big.

[01:15:36] Our planet's pretty awesome, by the way, just saying to have that many, that many stones.

[01:15:43] We got all three of them.

[01:15:44] We're pretty important.

[01:15:46] Right.

[01:15:46] Kind of a big deal.

[01:15:50] So Steve says six stones, three teams, one shot.

[01:15:55] Dude.

[01:15:56] And realistically, actually two of those stones were within a foot of each other at one point in the battle of New York.

[01:16:07] Mm hmm.

[01:16:08] Like when Selvig is trying to shut down the reactor and is driving the scepter into driving Loki scepter, which contains the mind stone into the reactor, which contains the Tesseract.

[01:16:21] Hmm.

[01:16:22] Hmm.

[01:16:23] There's two stones literally on top of each other at that point.

[01:16:26] I still think the biggest goof of that movie is why did Thanos give Loki the mind stone?

[01:16:31] But we'll put that aside.

[01:16:33] It's the end game.

[01:16:35] Oh, one in 14.

[01:16:37] You're making me think the whole thing falls apart.

[01:16:40] Oh, come on, David.

[01:16:41] Sorry, guys.

[01:16:43] So the Avengers will travel back in time to three different points in history to be able to collect the infinity stones.

[01:16:49] Basic teams and storylines are team white man, a.k.a. Steve, Tony, Scott and Bruce will go to New York in the year 2012, where the space stone, which is at the time contained within the Tesseract, the mind stone contained within Loki seven.

[01:17:12] The time stone contained within the eye of Agamotto that they assume Dr. Strange has, though they'll find out differently shortly.

[01:17:19] They're all in New York 2012.

[01:17:22] Thor and rocket head to Asgard in 2013, where the reality stone is inside Jane Foster's body.

[01:17:30] Also where there's a copy of the space stone, but we're not going to talk about that.

[01:17:38] And then Nebula, Rhodey, Natasha and Clint will head to 2014, where the power stone is on Morag and the soul stone is on Voromir.

[01:17:52] I don't know why we needed.

[01:17:54] I guess we did need to time travel to before.

[01:17:59] Infinity War, at least to get the soul stone for the Voromir.

[01:18:03] Yeah, Thanos had already gotten it.

[01:18:05] So, yeah.

[01:18:06] So question for you all.

[01:18:07] Which of these trips would you be most excited to go on?

[01:18:11] Which time heist?

[01:18:12] I would probably go.

[01:18:14] I mean, Morag seems all right.

[01:18:18] I don't want to be part of the group going to Voromir, knowing what I know, but.

[01:18:22] Yeah, that seems like a hard no.

[01:18:24] I'd go back to the 70s and hang out with Stan Lee.

[01:18:28] Yeah.

[01:18:28] Who is yelling at the military base.

[01:18:31] I think Asgard would be pretty cool, too.

[01:18:34] Yeah.

[01:18:34] Skipping ahead, but you know.

[01:18:36] They got some of that sweet, sweet ale in the wine room, right?

[01:18:40] Yeah.

[01:18:44] Yeah.

[01:18:44] So, Steve Tip delivers his typical halftime motivational speech with a fun little jab.

[01:18:55] We have a plan.

[01:18:56] Six stones, three teams, one shot.

[01:18:58] Five years ago, we lost.

[01:19:00] All of us.

[01:19:01] We lost friends.

[01:19:01] We lost family.

[01:19:02] We lost part of ourselves.

[01:19:04] Today, we have to take a chance, or we have a chance to take it all back.

[01:19:08] You know your teams.

[01:19:10] You know your missions.

[01:19:11] Uh, get the stones.

[01:19:14] Get them all back.

[01:19:15] One round trip each.

[01:19:16] No mistakes.

[01:19:17] No do-overs.

[01:19:18] Most of us going somewhere we know.

[01:19:21] That doesn't mean we know what to expect.

[01:19:24] Be careful.

[01:19:25] Look out for each other.

[01:19:26] This is the fight of our lives, and we're going to win.

[01:19:30] Whatever it takes.

[01:19:31] Good luck.

[01:19:33] Find America's ass along the way.

[01:19:36] Exactly.

[01:19:37] And there's this fun little moment where, after he delivers that speech, Rocket goes,

[01:19:44] he's good at that.

[01:19:46] And to Scott Lang, and Scott Lang's like, right?

[01:19:52] Pretty great.

[01:19:52] Although that is one of those moments where you can tell, I think, uh, maybe, uh, what's

[01:20:00] his name?

[01:20:00] He played Scott Lang.

[01:20:01] I think it was.

[01:20:02] Paul Rudd.

[01:20:02] Paul Rudd.

[01:20:03] Was not super used to, uh, acting against a full CGI character.

[01:20:09] Because if you look at him, it's kind of like, is he actually reacting to Rocket?

[01:20:15] He's looking across the room.

[01:20:17] Right.

[01:20:18] I've never noticed that.

[01:20:19] Thank you.

[01:20:20] Uh, this is the second time you've ruined a movie for me.

[01:20:23] That's, that's.

[01:20:23] You're welcome.

[01:20:24] Thank you.

[01:20:24] You're welcome.

[01:20:26] Well, listeners from here, we are actually going to go into the time heist, but a real

[01:20:30] quick note before we do, instead of following it in order where it happens in the movie,

[01:20:36] um, because that gets really convoluted and, and there's a lot of back and forth.

[01:20:42] Instead, we're going to kind of follow each section of the heist.

[01:20:46] Um, so for example, we're going to start in New York, 2012, then we'll move on to some

[01:20:51] of the stuff in New Jersey and so on and so forth.

[01:20:54] Um, so instead of like bouncing around from one scene on Asgard over to a scene in New

[01:21:01] York, um, because they don't actually interact with each other, you know, they don't have

[01:21:05] trans dimensional communication or anything like that.

[01:21:08] Um, it, it made more sense to kind of follow each part of the heist through that just made

[01:21:16] a little bit more.

[01:21:17] So their magic bands will bring them to a point in the past and back to the present, but they

[01:21:23] can't talk to each other.

[01:21:25] Correct.

[01:21:26] Disney, get on your ball.

[01:21:28] Come on.

[01:21:30] Come on.

[01:21:31] But Tony has also apparently figured out, uh, edge computing enough that he does not need

[01:21:39] cloud computing to, to have his AI work in the 1970s, but we'll get there in a second.

[01:21:46] It's fine.

[01:21:49] So, um, first team up is New York, 2012, AKA, like I said, the white man.

[01:21:54] Hey, Gabe, I pro matters wet dream when it comes to toys.

[01:21:58] Yeah.

[01:21:59] Oh, good.

[01:22:00] I can sell this.

[01:22:03] I guess one of them's a green man, but you know, uh, sorry, bad joke.

[01:22:10] Uh, so they, they arrive in Manhattan at the precise time when the city was under siege

[01:22:16] by Loki and the Shatari army.

[01:22:19] Awesome timing guys.

[01:22:21] I like, it was my first episode with you all, man.

[01:22:25] What a great, what a great time.

[01:22:27] I like, uh, they're like in the alley and Hulk is seeing what professor Hulk is seeing

[01:22:34] like rampaging Hulk break stuff.

[01:22:36] And he's just so embarrassed.

[01:22:38] Like, and then he's just like, maybe you should smash something too.

[01:22:41] He's going to like hit some hits a car, like kind of tosses a motorcycle a little bit.

[01:22:46] Yeah.

[01:22:46] No question.

[01:22:47] This is a legit question is professor Hulk slash smart Hulk.

[01:22:51] Is he as strong as regular Hulk?

[01:22:55] I think so.

[01:22:56] Okay.

[01:22:57] Just curious.

[01:22:58] Yeah.

[01:22:58] Comic wise.

[01:22:59] Yeah.

[01:23:00] Yeah.

[01:23:01] Okay.

[01:23:03] So Bruce makes his way to the sanctum Sanctorum where he meets the ancient one.

[01:23:07] He asks for Dr.

[01:23:09] Strange, but she tells him that he's five years too early.

[01:23:13] She was the sorcerer Supreme before Dr.

[01:23:16] Strange.

[01:23:17] So therefore that's why she has the eye of Agamotto.

[01:23:20] Hulk asks her for the time stone and moves aggressively towards her to claim it.

[01:23:26] But the ancient one refuses and knocks Hulk and, uh, or knocks out Hulk and separates Bruce.

[01:23:34] Bruce's astral form from his physical form.

[01:23:38] Kind of like, uh, the out of body experience that doc or that Steven strange experienced the first time we met the sorcerer Supreme.

[01:23:46] I will say that, um, I think it's a bit of a goof, but I think you're supposed to, I don't know how they can communicate because I think you're supposed to be in the same plane to talk, but I guess we'll let that one go.

[01:23:58] Yeah.

[01:23:59] I mean, the ancient one can be in multiple.

[01:24:02] I, I, I would give her, uh, I would give her her license to have been on multiple planes at the same time.

[01:24:12] Yeah.

[01:24:13] If Tilda Swinton can knock you out of your body, um, Tilda can also talk to you.

[01:24:18] Come on.

[01:24:23] Um, and I think there was also, I saw, you noted this here, David, but I also caught it that the New York sanctum was guarded by Daniel drum prior to Steven strange, not the ancient one.

[01:24:38] But I would assume that she, she was there checking on something.

[01:24:44] She wasn't the guardian of that sanctum, but she was checking in on the New York.

[01:24:47] She was the, the, one of the showers was leaking.

[01:24:51] There you go.

[01:24:53] Yeah.

[01:24:54] And Daniel's like, I don't know a, a darn thing about plumbing.

[01:24:58] And she's like, it's fine.

[01:24:59] I got it.

[01:25:00] Yeah.

[01:25:01] I got this.

[01:25:03] Um, Bruce pleads with the ancient one for the time stone, but she refuses.

[01:25:08] While obtaining the time stone would save Bruce's continuity.

[01:25:11] It would doom the ancient ones.

[01:25:14] Ancient one says the infinity stones, uh, create what you experience is the flow of time.

[01:25:20] Remove one stone and that flow splits.

[01:25:22] Now this may benefit your reality, but my new one, not so much in this branch reality without our cheap weapon against the forces of darkness.

[01:25:31] Our world would be overrun.

[01:25:33] Millions would suffer.

[01:25:35] So tell me, doctor, can your science prevent all that?

[01:25:38] You know, ignoring the fact that she could go pick up one of the other two, or infinity stones that are in the city at the same time.

[01:25:48] No, but we can erase it because once we are done with all the stones, we can return each one to its timeline at the exact moment it was taken.

[01:25:58] So chronologically in that reality, it never left ancient one, but you are leaving out the most important part in order to return those stones.

[01:26:09] You have to survive.

[01:26:10] Bruce, we will.

[01:26:12] I will.

[01:26:13] I promise.

[01:26:14] The ancient one.

[01:26:16] I can't risk this reality on a promise.

[01:26:18] It's the duty of the Sorcerer Supreme to protect the stone.

[01:26:21] Bruce.

[01:26:22] Then why the hell did Strange give it away?

[01:26:25] The ancient one is shocked to hear that Stephen Strange gave away the stone, but she realizes that he must have only done so under the most desperate of situations.

[01:26:35] Bruce promises to return the borrowed stones when they are done to the exact moment where they borrowed them, thus saving these alternate timelines as well as their own.

[01:26:46] So the ancient one opens up the eye of Agamotto and entrusts the time stone to Bruce.

[01:26:52] One storyline down, five more to go.

[01:26:58] So we move back over to a different part of New York.

[01:27:01] This is, I think, the part of the time heist that gets the most screen time, if I remember correctly.

[01:27:06] I think so.

[01:27:08] Steve, Tony and Scott infiltrate Avengers Tower to obtain Loki's scepter and the Tesseract.

[01:27:15] We see a flashback scene of the Avengers where a defeated Loki is surrounded by the team.

[01:27:20] He asks them for a drink.

[01:27:22] As soon as 2012 Natasha asks who gets the magic wand, we see strike arrive to secure it.

[01:27:29] Hello, Agent Sitwell, Frank Grillo and the team.

[01:27:34] Um, it was pretty clear that some of this was like old footage that they like reuse like different shots and such.

[01:27:44] Um, and that, that was not the best CGI in those.

[01:27:49] Like, like you could tell that there were some things added in.

[01:27:53] One of the things I noticed is like when Iron Man lands and he tries to sneak off, it looks really bad.

[01:28:00] Um, when future Iron Man lands and he tries to sneak behind like a pillar, it does not look great.

[01:28:05] I didn't. Yeah, I wasn't sure. Yeah. I wasn't sure if they'd reused prior footage.

[01:28:09] I mean, it did obviously for some of it.

[01:28:11] Um, but, um, I hadn't noticed that.

[01:28:14] But yeah, you're right. The CGI that you can imagine.

[01:28:17] That'd be one of the technical challenges of like balancing out the CGI.

[01:28:21] And because of where we're at, I also noticed, you know, doing this podcast and stuff.

[01:28:26] I noticed there's a lot of faces turned away from the camera in these scenes.

[01:28:31] You mean like, Oh, huh.

[01:28:35] Or Allah, Allah cap pulling a hand to his face to cover his beard from snow piercer during the shawarma scene.

[01:28:43] Kind of like, yeah, totally.

[01:28:45] Um, so Tony and Scott are focused on the Tesseract, a.k.a. the Space Stone, while Steve goes after Loki's scepter, which contains the Mind Stone.

[01:28:56] Ant-Man catches a ride with 2012 Tony Stark after getting flicked like a paper football from earlier in the movie.

[01:29:07] Well, Tony, 2013 Tony suits up and dives off the tower.

[01:29:13] Meanwhile, 2012 Avengers take a bound up Loki and the Tesseract to the ground floor on the elevator.

[01:29:20] Hulk tries to join them, but is told to take the stairs.

[01:29:25] Hulk, I hate the stairs.

[01:29:28] Hate the stairs.

[01:29:29] So many stairs.

[01:29:31] I don't know why you couldn't just jump off the building, but it's fine.

[01:29:34] Yeah.

[01:29:34] Or just jump down the, uh, the, the stairwell's pretty narrow.

[01:29:37] I guess he probably couldn't have made it there, but.

[01:29:41] Uh, Iron Man advises Tony that strike slash Hydra agents are taking the scepter to the lobby via elevator.

[01:29:49] Cap, uh, or sorry.

[01:29:52] Iron Man advises Cap that strike and Hydra agents are taking the scepter to the lobby via elevator.

[01:30:00] Cap joins the elevator and as it heads to the lobby and we get a repeat of the, uh, fight scene in the, uh, no, just kidding.

[01:30:07] I wanted that so badly.

[01:30:11] Rumlow is surprised to see Cap and tensions start to melt.

[01:30:14] Cap then Cap tells them that he received a call from the secretary from secretary Pierce and that Steve will be running point on the scepter.

[01:30:24] The others in the, uh, in the elevator express constrain extreme skepticism.

[01:30:32] Easy for me to say.

[01:30:33] Until Cap leans towards it well and whispers.

[01:30:38] Hail Hydra.

[01:30:40] Cap walks off the elevator with the case, which contains the scepter and mind stone.

[01:30:45] Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

[01:30:48] We are through there.

[01:30:50] I will say that, um, the, uh, the hail Hydra thing was actually, that was like a huge deal at the time in the comics.

[01:31:03] At the time of this movie coming out in the comics, like there was like a storyline going on where a brainwashed Cap had gone and fought with, like for Hydra.

[01:31:13] Yeah.

[01:31:14] We were, we were pretty sure he was really on Hydra side.

[01:31:18] Yeah.

[01:31:19] And so I remember like the comic panel that, that like broke the world at the time was Cap doing this where Cap said hail Hydra.

[01:31:30] And so it was kind of interesting that, that they kind of brought it back in as kind of a, Hey, this is something we're currently doing.

[01:31:37] Check it out.

[01:31:37] I also liked that.

[01:31:40] It's the reverse of how it happens in the movie where like slowly the, the Hydra agents all like eventually like join the, the elevator.

[01:31:48] There's so much tension in that scene.

[01:31:51] They did it so well.

[01:31:53] It's so good.

[01:31:54] The other thing, um, uh, mentioned on the.

[01:31:57] Elevator and scene is Dr.

[01:32:00] List.

[01:32:00] There's there's, he was the Baron Struckers lead scientist who we see, who we see in the end credits of winter soldier.

[01:32:08] And at the beginning in age of Ultron, he was never named in the MCU, but was identified agents of shield.

[01:32:15] Oh, nice.

[01:32:16] Yeah.

[01:32:18] So meanwhile, the 2012 versions of cap Iron Man and Thor, um, are along with Loki and the Tesseract all arrive at the lobby of Avengers tower.

[01:32:30] They were met there by Alexander Pierce and his personal fantasy football, uh, advice guy, Matthew Barry.

[01:32:38] Um, I still don't know.

[01:32:39] I still don't know why he was there.

[01:32:41] Oh, silly.

[01:32:43] Must be friends with the.

[01:32:44] He does.

[01:32:45] He has podcasts.

[01:32:46] Yeah.

[01:32:47] Or that he's married to like one of the Russo's sisters or something.

[01:32:50] It was every, it's just pure nepotism at this point in time.

[01:32:53] Yeah.

[01:32:53] Um, so yeah, Matthew Barry is one of the bodyguards, but, um, they want, uh, Alexander Pierce wants both Loki and the case, which contains, uh, the, the Tesseract.

[01:33:10] Uh, Pierce claims that shield has owned it for over 70 years.

[01:33:15] As they argue about the case, shrunken Ant-Man disables 2012 Tony Stark's arc reactor as a distraction after a brief mention of Axe body spray, because apparently Tony just keeps a can and a half on hand.

[01:33:31] Why not?

[01:33:32] Who wouldn't?

[01:33:33] Um, what, what teenager in 2008 wouldn't what year, what year is this happening in?

[01:33:42] All right.

[01:33:43] 2012.

[01:33:44] 2012.

[01:33:45] Oh, oh no.

[01:33:45] I'm sorry.

[01:33:46] Yeah.

[01:33:46] Got to get my game cube and, and bro down on.

[01:33:52] So as Loki watches, uh, Ant-Man propels the Tesseract towards 2023 Tony Stark who grabs it and heads towards the door.

[01:34:01] We're done.

[01:34:02] Easy peasy.

[01:34:03] We've got the time heist.

[01:34:04] Now we just got to go back and take care of everybody.

[01:34:06] Right?

[01:34:07] Just kidding.

[01:34:08] Hulk angry from taking the stairs, smashes through the door and knocks the case from Tony Stark's grasp.

[01:34:18] Throwing everything into disarray.

[01:34:20] The Tesseract is at, uh, Loki's feet.

[01:34:23] He reaches down, grabs it and teleports away landing in a TV series that we will get to review here very, very soon.

[01:34:33] So, okay.

[01:34:34] Maybe not very soon.

[01:34:36] I think it's next year?

[01:34:38] Question mark?

[01:34:39] Let's see.

[01:34:39] I think so.

[01:34:40] I have, I have two issues with this.

[01:34:41] One, the Hulk busting through the stairwell.

[01:34:47] That's known.

[01:34:47] That happened in the past.

[01:34:49] All the Avengers would have known about that.

[01:34:51] Right?

[01:34:52] So it should not have happened that way.

[01:34:54] Like you would have known.

[01:34:55] You know what I mean?

[01:34:56] It wasn't on the elevator.

[01:34:57] Right?

[01:34:57] And then the-

[01:34:58] I could see that though being like something that they overlooked in like thinking about the whole thing.

[01:35:03] They couldn't remember the exact, they remembered going to get shawarma, but they don't remember.

[01:35:07] Oh crap.

[01:35:08] I forgot.

[01:35:09] I forgot he broke the door.

[01:35:10] Also, all eyes have to be on Loki.

[01:35:13] Like that is just like the absolute worst.

[01:35:18] Like how could you not keep an eye on him?

[01:35:21] I just, that part struggled with.

[01:35:23] They had to have some way to bring their, their best character, like their best bad guy character back to life.

[01:35:30] You couldn't keep him dead forever.

[01:35:32] Whew.

[01:35:32] Shots fired at ghost.

[01:35:33] Okay, cool.

[01:35:35] I said bad guy.

[01:35:37] Oh, fair point.

[01:35:39] Fair point.

[01:35:41] So as, uh, as Steve attempts to leave with the scepter, um, he encounters the 2012 version of himself who mistakes him for Loki in disguise.

[01:35:53] We get a cool cap on cap fight straight from Captain America number one 56.

[01:36:00] Um, also the, the two fighters here are actually stunt doubles who are brothers, um, and have served as stump stunt doubles throughout Captain America's run.

[01:36:10] That's awesome.

[01:36:12] Um, 2012 cap pulls out the classic line.

[01:36:18] I can do this all day to which modern cap says, yeah, I know the fight.

[01:36:25] Uh, they fight, uh, they fight and they fall several stories before Steve manages to distract his former self with the fact that Bucky is still alive before subduing him with Loki's scepter and checking out his own ass because that's America's ass.

[01:36:43] So my question in this scenario is how does cap know how to use the scepter in that way?

[01:36:52] Like he's subjugating a person's mind.

[01:36:56] I have to imagine it's just intuitive.

[01:36:58] Maybe it's so remember it could be remember when Loki tried to, to do it to Tony and it landed on his arc reactor.

[01:37:07] And so maybe that's something he gave him a heads up, or maybe there was a conversation with Dr. Selvig or maybe, or Clint maybe.

[01:37:15] Right.

[01:37:15] Cause he changed.

[01:37:16] Yeah, I suppose.

[01:37:17] Yeah.

[01:37:18] Yeah.

[01:37:18] I guess they've had a few years to talk about it.

[01:37:20] Like, Oh yeah.

[01:37:21] He stabbed me in the chest with this thing.

[01:37:24] And then I had to do what he, what he wanted me to.

[01:37:28] Maybe.

[01:37:29] Yeah.

[01:37:29] Huh?

[01:37:31] Okay.

[01:37:31] All right.

[01:37:32] I guess just, yeah.

[01:37:35] Hey, it's a movie.

[01:37:36] There we go.
