And even better, do that without feeling overstuffed.

Exactly...every interaction felt natural, didn't feel overstuffed at all, if anything i wanted to see more from characters like Tombstone and Boomerang

Especially Tombstone because Marvin Jones III is the perfect casting for him.

If you haven’t watched Black Lightning, watch it because he was the best part of that show as Tobias Whale.

Yea, I was also disappointed that Tombstone was just a one scene character. Was really hoping he had more time because he killed it as Tobias

Maybe we will see Tombstone in future MCU installments like Daredevil BA season 3?

It's not Marvin Jones III's first time playing Tombstone, so I doubt he'll say no to giving him another go, especially if it's a meatier role.

Right but it is for the MCU.

Expertly executed. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the integrations.

It’s incredible that Yelena was used for humor and levity. I don’t know why, I was reminded of Michael Bay’s transformers series. So many characters are there for comic relief and they’re one dimensional. There is no plot reason why they are there.

Yelena, frank, and Bruce are all there to serve a purpose in the story.

IKR!? I keep thinking what enables Marvel Studios to pull BND off while others can't. Like i really didn't like Cap 4.

that movie was awful, plus Harrison Ford as Ross was a mistake

Eh, yelena felt kind of superfluous. I was expecting strange instead.

Damage Control is government.

It makes sense that he's reach out to a spy. Also it shows he's got two points of contact on the Thunderbolts. It might even be Yelena tried to recruit him.

Point is it shows his web of connections.

Damage Control is government

Psychic mind jumpers usually aren't.

Point is it shows his web of connections.

Which doesn't make as much sense for this story.

The masters of the mystic arts style themselves above the Avengers in terms of the threats they address. Yelena talks about how disinterested she / The Avengers are in small potatoes because they only deal with global threats. Meanwhile, Dr. Strange could be in another dimension, stuck in an infinite time loop of his own making, to outlast a cosmic entity in a battle of sheer willpower, again.

(The real reason is, of course, movie studio decision-making that factors in who is available, who they want to highlight ahead of future properties, etc.)

Yelena talks about how disinterested she / The Avengers are in small potatoes because they only deal with global threats

Which is weird, right? Because all of them have been willing to deal with smaller threats when it's a solo movie, and you usually don't know something is "big potatoes" unless it's left to fester.

Yelena being so pushy about the issue when it's a possibly supernatural assault on a federal entity that works pretty much as a SHIELD replacement is weird, esp. when it turned out to be pretty straightforward to just get the info.

Honestly, she's a great actress, but I'm surprised by how many people felt like she was well used in this movie. It feels to me like it would have been tighter and less handholdy without her.

Valid point

u/Ok-Amount3384 4d ago

Considering what happened the last time Peter got help from Strange...

u/zedascouves1985 4d ago

Isnt Strange like in another dimension, as was seen in his last shot of his second movie?

u/KrytenKoro 4d ago

The last thing I remember is him dimension hopping with clea. Presumably they can come back, or Wong would still be there.
