Cloak & Dagger/Runaways Crossover (Edward Zachary Sunrose, Mrmichaelt)
Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: Not only was Destiny the only girl found washed up on the beach, it wasn't on the outskirts of the city. It was pretty close by which is why all of PRIDE was freaking out it could lead back to them. I think it may have even been the beach that the kids met up at.

The only thing I can imagine is that there was a serial killer previously drowning female victims and that's what gave Victor the idea to drown Destiny. But since the murder was blamed on the kids near instantly, and then on Darius weeks later, no one in the media had time to connect her to the serial killer, but third parties like O'Reilly did make the connection. That's wild speculation, though. Hopefully that gets clarified in their crossover.

I imagine they'll first pop up in Runaways, where they track down the kids in order to get leads on the other girls since they were framed for Destiny. Once T&T realize Destiny wasn't connected to the serial killer, they go off and have C&D3 where they do track down the serial killer, then somehow get drawn back to New Orleans.

And as for the acronym joke, Los Angeles is shortened to L.A. while New Orleans is in Louisiana, whose two letter state acronym (all 50 have it, as do DC [District of Columbia] and PR [Puerto Rico]) is LA. So T&T went from LA (Louisiana) to L.A. (Los Angeles). Lol the reference is even worse then, wow. It's sort of relying on people only semi-remembering Runaways: Season 1, which most articles seem to be in the position of. But I just wish this show took a bit more care.

The serial killer theory is obviously quite a bit of an assumption, but that's just because of the show being poor in its reference - given the poor wording, your theory is about as good of a justification as you can get. I don't think it will be clarified though in the crossover, I think it was just meant as a reference to Runaways: Season 1 and the exact details of it weren't considered. But you're right, there's a chance that when they meet a conversation involving the details they got from O'Reilly would be necessary.

Ah, it was the Louisiana thing. I forgot about the state acronyms, so was puzzled about how New Orleans was "LA", sorry😂.

Mrmichaelt wrote: Good points and idea about the serial killer and crossover. Plus these killings might not even had to do with Los Angeles yet. The killer could be mobile and made his/her way from the Gulf of Mexico to California and Brigid made the connection through an M.O. of sorts so the likely time skip between C&D S2 and S3 could catch them up in the timeline to Runaways S3 and T&T spend that time trying to track the killer down. As for how to return to New Orleans, I wonder if Pokaski stills has plans for Mr. Jip, I recall he strongly hinted at his cameo in that 1 episode of season 1. Who's Mr. Jip?

Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: True, the killer could be mobile. And considering how deeply connected the show is to Voudon and the Divine Pairing (which means they're forever tied to New Orleans as its protectors), T&T have to return to New Orleans at some point. Yeah the show's not done with New Orleans.

Mrmichaelt wrote: I can see them revealing this person as the other half of Andre's divine pair but they never met -- as a stark contrast to Tandy and Tyrone. Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: There isn't another Divine Pairing featuring Andre. If Season One gave us the correct information and all of it, then there's only two people every century who are linked together and save New Orleans from disaster.

The two Native American children in the 1600's, the two high society brothers in the 1700's, the soldier and maiden in the 1800's, Captain America's gay uncles (my headcanon) in the 1900's, and Tandy and Ty in the 2000's.

Ty and Tandy just happened to be powered by the same substance they would later have to protect the city from, since that was the only way they could defeat the Terror Infection. None of the other Divine Pairings had powers (that we know of), and out of the other people exposed to the substance directly (the Oil Rig Terrors, the Roxxon Terrors, Mayhem, Ivan, Andre) only Mayhem and Andre have developed actual powers, and they developed their powers 8 years apart so not likely to be a Divine Pairing. Yeah, Tandy and Tyrone are the Divine Pairing. Interesting theory about it being once a century, quite possible.

I like your explanation there, that they got the powers together because it was fated that they would need them to save the city. Because otherwise it would be quite a coincidence that the Divine Pairing both got those powers. But that definitely makes sense.

Mrmichaelt wrote: Yeah, I meant, that was my chief concern they might pull something like that and add on like they're a Divine Pairing meant to destroy, the other side of the coin. Like how the comics had Night and Day. BUT I'm actually all for the next villain having nothing to do with Darkforce, Vodun, or New Orleans.

EDIT: Hmm, presumably, the new villain will have powers but how. Hmm. Darkforce from another source? Cybernetics, Vibranium, enhanced, Inhuman, IGH, alien? I will also be glad for them to move on. When you've had villains related to the hero for a while, I like when things get changed up - a bit riskier and more interesting and fresh.

Code Yellow (Mrmichaelt, Edward Zachary Sunrose)
Mrmichaelt wrote: Deke mentioned making a business connection at Burning Man. Which is traditionally August-September. So after season 5, that would mean he went to the 2018 Burning Man that took place from August 25 to September 3.

The Phish concert he went to with Khan is flexible since they did a lot of touring in 2018-2019.

At the end, Sequioa also mentions she's stealing Snow's look for Coachella which was April 12 to April 21, 2019... That's all fine. I don't think the Coachella reference is important, it can be about Coachella 2020. While we know that the episodes aren't always set exactly in real time, they're usually written, in terms of for a casual viewer, so that they don't have to think about the timeline, so the viewer should feel comfortable watching in May/June 2019 and seeing a Coachella reference and not go, "What? So it's set a few months ago?" The reference is supposed to feel comfortable for the viewer to mean next year's Coachella, so it feels comfortable for me. She's a social media influencer, I'm sure she talks about Coachella ideas all year round.

Edward Zachary Sunrose wrote: As for Sequoia wearing Snowflake's look for Coachella, if this is at least 13 months after Season 5 and the Snap, she could be referring to Coachella 2020. Yeah.

Mrmichaelt wrote: True, and more likely. This episode I felt was a little bit more problematic in a post-Snap world, since it's the most of the wider world we've seen in Season 6 so far, and everyone at Deke's company was very lighthearted and happy. But we're still just about safe.

Personal Note (additional)
I've finished exams now, and through to late September I'm going to have a lot of free time. Hope to get a lot done.

Also, I was thinking - once Jessica Jones and Far from Home are out and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Season 6 finishes, we're going to have at least 4 straight months (August-December at least) of no MCU content whatsoever, until Runaways: Season 3. Sure I love always having new MCU content, but honestly, I like the break's relief as well.
