Back and forth but yeah. He was always a good person, but after his arms’ inhibiter chip got fried the AI controlling them basically brainwashed him. At the end of the film he managed to reassert himself and regain control long enough to destroy the sun-machine.

@Dustcan  
He also said that Doc’s character carries over from the “exact” moment from when he sacrifices himself into the river to get rid of the reactor. So yeah chances are that this version of Doc will be a good guy

I made an illustration to explain how Old Man Steve time-traveled to deliver the shield to Sam.
 

 
(Btw if you’re wondering how he skipped the branch at 6, just look at how the rest of the Avengers did when they got the stones. That’s proof it works.)

You know, the actual idea behind Age of Sigmar and the Mortal Realms is cool.
 
8 twisting realities strung together in an endless void, each representing a primal force of magic.
 
Not original, since Planeswalkers beat them to it by a decade (the eternal Wizards of the Coast vs. Games Workshop war), but cool.
 
It’s both the implementation of it, and how we got there, that are the fucking awful parts.

Bruh.
 

@CaptainXtra
 
She doesn’t want her name tarnished.
 
Sally is only a full frontal girl, gotta keep that thot cred.

@CaptainXtra  
She’s not wearing anything tho. I don’t…Eugh.

She is an actual special Olympics athlete  

@northern haste  
 
Some people got pissed that Izzy yelled at her without knowing the full story,but actually Lily was kinda wrong for not calling ahead.  
This is 2021,we have cell phones.

@northern haste  
What does this have anything to do with nerdy stuff?

@northern haste  
That’s awesome!
 
 
@Scrabbleman  
Scene from Power Rangers.

@Scrabbleman  
hint is the camera and the Power Rangers shirt

 
 
Power Rangers has gotten pretty good recently. Nothing incredible,but a big step up from Beast Morphers.

Pretty sure this is a call back to the dagger  

So Snape’s “powdered root of asphodel and wormwood” question to Harry was translated by someone as “I loved your mother, i miss her.”

@northern haste  
 
I was thinking of Merrick and Shayla.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
Wah? When does he say that?

@Sparx  

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
not entirely sure if intentional by the author, and I haven’t watch harry potter in awhile, or read the books period, but it does give a poetically intelligent edge to him I could imagine him having.

Is it just me or is Bucky kinda a chump? Like he was a full tilt badass in Winter Soldier, but by the second half Steve was pulling his punches. After that, well, we find out he not only wasn’t the only Winter Soldier but the weakest. Then he gets slapped around by everyone throughout the MCU, up to FatWS where he’s chumped by Wakandan Praetorian guards (which, to be fair, Wakandans) but gets slapped around by kids hopped up on the same serum he has and does worse against a guy who’s been a super for less than a day than Falcon did.

@Dustcan  
TBF didn’t he spend a a fair bit of time in Wakanda doing literally nothing?
 
Like from Civil War up to Infinity War i think he just stayed in Wakanda resting Thanos’s invasion being he first time he went back to combat iirc.
 
Its like any professional who goes a long period of time without doing their profession, they end up getting rusty.

@ichiban iceychan 1517
 
He spent his time in Wakanda getting deprogramed from his brainwashing. But yeah I don’t know if that included combat training.

@Dustcan  
every universe needs a jobber.

@Dustcan  
My guess is that the dude basically is in retirement and doesn’t train anymore. Not to mention he spends his time mentally inhibiting his own self. Self-serving guilt never brings out the best of of a person, after all.
 
Secondly he relies too much on himself being juiced up and having an indestructible metal arm. Against basic chum he could easily outmuscle and outperform them. But when fighting guys in his own weightclass, his lack of training shows.
 
Them Wakandan warriors are a combo of African genetics (African-born MMA talents are only recently popping up and they’re damn ferocious. Nature is racist apparently) and advanced training regiment prolly keeps them Wakandan warrior lass on par with a regular juiced up joe
