I like it when James asks Mason to remember the plot of a movie. It is one of my favorite running gags of anything ever.

Every time Nick is about to quote Tom Holland, I instinctively hear the Oliver Twist quote

I feel winter soldier is the best representation of Captain America because it shows he doesn’t change in modern times

[@dicedude1071]

Winter soldier is by far the best Black Widow movie, which you guys forgot she was in lol

[@KingRogue]

Is it?

[@dicedude1071]

@@KingRogue I think so, it's important to her character because she thought working for shield was her being a good guy but the revelation that it was hydra is shocking and damaging. She teaches Steve that there's more ways to deal with opposition than fighting, teaches him espionage tricks. And most importantly they learn to trust each other and form a strong platonic friendship

[@gennaroneefjes6248]

Well done on the big four-oh-oh ...I really love you guys, I started listening last year in February whilst hopped up on painkillers, I carried on as we locked down, you were the only thing I looked forward to whilst I was in the early stages of grief after losing my wonderful partner, you couldn't have known it but you two silly sods kept me company through some of the worst moments I have ever experienced and I cannot really express my gratitude for this podcast about things I barely understand..... I have also made He-Man and Skeltor marry each other, the service was officiated by G2 Megatron with one of those mushroom things from Mario as a ring barer, he did it though he has no hands, it was beautiful .....xx

When you mixed the names with spider man so smooth. I had a mild stroke.

[@HermanFalckHow]

Captain America deserves some sort of ''I never thought this character would somehow be the best treated by movies'' award. Like I was kind of dreading the first Captain America movie since Cap seemed impossible to not make just silly and how poorly Superman has been treated by movies. But other than the weird 90s movie we don't talk about I can't think of a single bad scene with Chris Evans Captain America... That is not the case with pretty much any other comic book character...

[@hollandscottthomas]

Most consistent MCU trilogy by far!

[@Drawnartist]

Yeah man good point I felt the same way about the first cap movie before it came out and it was not until winter solider that people really started to like him I think he was still kinda not taken serious until that movie

[@hcstubbs3290]

I think the best version of catwoman is the Gotham version. And tbh, Gotham, despite being a show I kind of love/hate, has the best version of a lot of Batman characters. Riddler, Penguin, Alfred, Bullock etc are all awesome.

[@ARBLACKx]

Gotham is awesome. Season 1 is average but from season 2 its gets amazing. Honestly might be my fav DC show. Its not cheesy and annoying like the CW ones. Love how they did the lesser known villains because its very unlikely that they will ever show up in a live action Batman movie. In 10 years when David Mazouz is 30 it would be pretty awesome if they revive Gotham and we actually get to see him play Batman.

[@hcstubbs3290]

@@ARBLACKx I'd be so down for a gotham revival. Gotham is the closest thing to the comic books that we'll probably ever get. It's so weird and dark and dramatic.

Did you guys see the time signature matchup between Loki and Wandavision? AND then notice the Red in the time stream that may indicate the Scarlet Witch zipping about in other timelines? Sync up the show finales and Kang drops his pen at the exact same time that Agatha drops to the ground. I think the Spell's duration may also sync up, indicating that several simultaneous occurrences start severing the sacred timeline.
