What are your Top 5 favorite Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff quotes?

Thunderbolts* 🤝 GOTG

-Having mixed opinions when announced

-Becoming loved by majority

Please write in which saga the said character had a best character development.

In Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special, Nebula gifts Rocket with a certain someone's vibranium arm...

Um, how exactly did Nebula even GET THAT?!?

I only knew them from their appearances in animated shows so Imagine my surprise when they turned out to be criminals.

I had this crazy theory that before the backstory reveal in Black Widow and Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Black Widow and Rocket both shared their traumas pre-Endgame during the effects of the Snap.

Black Widow mentioned that she gets emails from Rocket at various times. While it wasn't stated what the emails were about (pretty much intel), I have a feeling they were discussing their pasts. After watching both films, both characters seemed to have a similar history of being experimentally and psychologically tortured by crazed villains with sadistic ideologies and hobbies (Dreykov and High Evolutionary). I know it seemed unlikely that they shared their pasts, but it would be interesting if they actually did!

Overall, that's my take! What do you guys think?

Asking for a friend... 😅

During the leadup to the release of GOTG 3, many online theorized that Rocket Raccoon would die during the events of the film. While Rocket came close to death in the film's third act, he ended up surviving and went on to become the new leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy. But what if things hadn't turned out this way? What if Rocket had actually died during that scene and flew off with his friends? How would the third act of GOTG 3 change and what would happen to the team afterward?

In a previous post I discussed the possible route Thor 5 can be about.

Over all this movie could me much more serious & can show the darker side of Thor’s mythos along with the rap sheet of Odin’s sins from the past haunting Thor.

Thor 5 could be a semi-space opera & semi-multiversal movie but these aspects would be shown parts. The first part would be the Nine Realms. The movie would start with Thor minding his business but would soon be attacked by Thor runs into Angela (idea from @Optimusprimebumblebee "Neo Astral-X" 123 ) by Teresa Plamer (loved her character in I Am Number 4)

She would scorn Thor for not helping the Nine Realms & then speak of all the sins of their father (Odin) that have come to haunt them like Mangong (maybe). After talking it out, he then decides to bring order to the realms as All Father while dealing with these problems & seeing just how much pain his father inflicted. While fixing the realms, they would discover that some of the evils of the realms have escaped such as Serpent & Enchantress (idea form @Optimusprimebumblebee "Neo Astral-X" 123 ). While they think it impossible they soon discover that they only escaped because the Midgard being in disarray because of various gods being dead. Which would conclude part 1.

Part 2 would pick up after part 1 & build off of the dead gods. Bringing up the gods dying could show that Gorr was wrong ultimately by showing while some Gods are evil not all of them are & Gorr was an extremist with a well founded argument, he was prejudice as a result of trauma. We can show panels from the God Butcher arc comic where paradise where now festering graves & beautiful fields used by mortals are not bare wastelands. Thor while helping as he can across the universe could stumble across Beta Ray Bill looking to help his people (like in the comics) & eventually be given Stormbreaker & Thor-like powers. Due to them just being 2 dudes, they would need help & Thor wouldn’t be the only godly being trying to do good. This is where other noble Gods from other pantheons come in. These beings would be:

• Rama played by Shah Rukh Khan

Ogun played by Mustafa Shakir

Together, they fight back the dark gods such as Serpernt Enchantress & more. But in the end this could connect to Dr Strange & Incursions due to the Gods of the universe being connected to the magic aspect of Marvel. The connection can be established after they won the fight but then see worlds colliding with others & we would see Strange saying, “They’re coming”.

So what do you think?

I got this idea from @Masteruniverse 95 so shot out to him.

So reality has be warped & in this world the MCU doesn’t exist. But in this world you have been hired to make the MCU. With unlimited funding & resources at your fingertips, how will you start up this new MCU & what purpose does it serve? (I will make another post to continue it phase by phase)

My MCU-

My universe would be animated by either Mappa Studios, Toei Animations, Powerhouse Animation Studios, Studio Mir, or Ufotable (each hyperlink is a link to animations made by each company). Doing so gets rid of the limitation of live action acting such as physical limitations or acting limitations. Also things would look much cooler this way too. My verse also won’t nerf the power levels. I would make it more accurate. Not exactly accurate because some parts just can’t be adapted. I would keep the adult themes of the comics meaning that my verse would have darker stories & edgier characters like a sadistic Thanos or a Sabertooth that is straight vile.

For my Phase 1 I would have a mix of movies & shows. My movies would be:

Guardians of the Galaxy-

This movie would basically be about assembling the group & build up part of the cosmic side of the Marvel universe & would set other cosmic heroes connected to them.

Fantastic 4-

This would introduce the Fantastic 4 & partially build off the cosmic side of Marvel.

Avengers-

This would introduce the Avengers & they would basically be the gateway to other sections of the MCU. Such as Dr Strange leading to the Midnight Sons. The main focus of this movie would 

be fighting Loki.

My Shows would be:

Midnight Sons-

This movie I would intro the preternatural side of the Marvel universe such as Monsters, some gods, etc. This would be made up of different heroes who can get future projects like Blade, Brother Voodoo, etc.

Marvel Knights-

I would use this series to expand upon the street level heroes of the Avengers like Cap, Natasha, Hawkeye, etc. This could introduce other characters & groups like Shang Chi & Hydra. I named this after Marvel’s initiative to make street level characters more interesting & it worked for Daredevil.

Defenders-

This would cover NYC’s protectors like Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, & Iron Fist mainly but they could have crossovers with other heroes/anti-heroes.

X-Men-

I basically what the og series did & introduce a diverse roster. From here also different parts of the Marvel universe would be built upon like the cosmic aspect with the Shi’ar, Celestials, & Phoenix Force.

I believe that there is a window between our world and K.E.V.I.N's. Pizza Poppa was the first to realise this and then She-Hulk. K.E.V.I.N was fine with Jennifer because it was a good plot point in the show. However, he was not happy with her smashing the window because she was breaking and entering into his universe. So he reinforced the glass on the window so that you can still talk through it but not break it. This is how Rocket breaks the fourth wall in the Holiday Special. This is just a theory not fact. Also the whole glass bit is a metaphor.

I honestly don't know why Marvel announced this. It didn't come out this Christmas so what's the point of announcing a Holiday Special so early?

This was another Reddit discovery, this time courtesy of WolfBrigadeII. His attention to detail revealed that Rocket's new appearance in Endgame has a slight emotional touch to it. It turns out that the long, red scarf that the non-raccoon wears is exactly the same as the one around Peter Quill's neck in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. There is no concrete evidence that it is the same scarf but...it is definitely the same scarf.

This is the only time we have ever seen the Guardian wear a scarf, and Star-Lord wasn't using it when he was "snapped", meaning it must have stayed behind somewhere. Either Rocket took it himself or he searched every clothing rack in the universe to find its exact replica. Either way, it is a very sweet (and sad) gesture that just goes to show that even after all their disagreements, the Guardians really are a loving family.

So after watching What If?, I got inspired to do my own scenario. You know how before the Battle of Earth, Rocket, War Machine, and Hulk almost drown but Ant-Man saves them? Well, what if Thanos kidnapped and brainwashed them?

How do you think it would play out?

Will GOTG 3 be the cast of the first two movies' final MCU project? Because, since Guardians 3 is the last one, I think that means the character arcs have to come to an end too. I know they haven't been in a lot of projects, but one of the reasons why Guardians is my favorite MCU franchise is because it feels like one on it's own. The first two movies were part of a larger story and the third one will be too, but it always felt like a separate franchise following it's own story arc. And if Guardians 3 is going to cap off a trilogy, then every character in the original team needs closure.

Does this confirm that Rocket, Kraglin, or both of them will be in “Thor: Love and Thunder?”

Continuing the "Scene Discussion" is the sequence where Thor forges his new weapon, Stormbreaker, by withstanding the power of the star, resulting in Groot sacrificing his arm as the handle.

Let's discuss! How do you feel about this? Do you prefer Mjølnir or Stormbreaker? What is your favourite Thor moment?

Leave your thoughts on this down below, and make sure to leave any suggestions of scenes that you would like to discuss in future posts.

James Gunn recently did a watch-along for Guardians of the Galaxy, where he touched upon many different parts of the film. One thing that came up a few times was Rocket Raccoon being explored further in Vol. 3, including his origins.

"I’ll just say Rocket is a big part of what’s happening in the future - and a lot of this stuff (like the scars we’re about to see on his back) sets up what I’ve been planning for Rocket all along."

"Part of the cybernetics apparently painfully placed in his body. One of my favorite moments in the movie. Rocket’s loneliness and disaffection is at the center of the franchise for me."

It is clear that Rocket will be a main focus for Vol. 3. With that, what do you hope to see with this character in the future?

up to the time of 1st Iron Man, Tony Stark slept with various women. did he unknowingly get any of them pregnant?

in 2nd Iron Man, Tony transferred his company to Pepper. and throughout the movies, he seemed to have made many purchases. how was he able to pay for them?

Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye; did any of them get paid for their time in SHIELD?

asked in another thread::

Rocket's comment to Thor about loss (Endgame); was it inspired from Peter Quill's speech about loss (1st Guardians movie)? for the character and/or for the writers
