The first two episodes are fun and a completely different twist on things. And there is a lot going on under the surface. Easter eggs abound. It's a clever concept and if you're a fan of Marvel and the Marvel Universe of the movies, there's a lot to talk about and speculate on.

I loved it. I'm going to have to read into the easter eggs.

I'd have said more, but really not wanting to give any spoilers.

I marked the topic as spoilers so feel free to say anything, 

 

As far as I can tell, someone is trying to get Wanda to conjur her babies so they can use them. So many mentions of children and now she is preggo.

There's also S.W.O.R.D. showing up in places. S.W.O.R.D. is the outward facing version of S.H.I.E.L.D. The Strucker watch with the Hydra symbol on it (and Baron Strucker from the comics was a big part of Hydra and AIM).

The beekeeper coming out of the sewer is a reference to the emergence of A.I.M. (Advanced Idea Mechanics) that was a Hydra-like group that was seeking the Cosmic Cube throughout the 1970s. Their headgear looked a lot like beekeeper helmets and screens...

In many scenes the Vision still has his Infinity Gem ... the Mind Stone meaning it may have been replaced post Infinity War time loop and this may all be in his head. He and Wanda may well be stuck in a time-free loop within the stone.

Alternately, and this is my take: After Vision was killed in the Inifinty War, his consciousness (the old Jarvis) went right back into Cyberspace where he had hid from Ultron back before they both got bodies. The Wanda seen in the show is actually his very detailed impression of her and he is keeping it alive while trying to build some sort of life construct for the two of them (since she was taken out in the Snap), but it is all in his head. He is using old TV shows (The Dick van Dyke Show and Bewitched so far) as an analog to build their life on and preserve who they are. If he can hold on long enough to get the Mind Stone again, he can bring the two back to life with at least some sort of shared time between them.

As a further complication, I believe Arnim Zola (remember him as the Nazi scientist that worked for Red Skull and then got computerized in the Captain America movies), might be hiding out in the same part of Cyberspace and is the reason behind the commercials from Stark Industries (the toaster) and Strucker watches coming through.

Or at least that's my take.

That, sir, is a lot to digest. 

 

Can't wait for the next episode.

It is! Hopefully it's going to wind out into something cool and not just a "It was just a dream" kind of stories.

Or worse, do a JJ Abram's Lost wind out where the incredibly intricate plot has no real conclusion because it was just built to be nothing but complication after complication to keep people guessing.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
