Just watched last night. Very good. Though I don't fully get the sneek peek portion. Is that Loki's staff? What's the meaning there?


That's not the big deal.  Loki's staff is just Loki's staff.  The big reveal is Magneto's kids, Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver.  The Age of Miracles (aka The Dawn of Mutants...aka motherfucking X-MEN!!) is upon us.

That moment made me so happy but when I went a second time I listened properly to what they were saying.

Due to idiotic franchise/licence contracts mutants are stuck with X-men, even the term mutant. They added a claus which allowed Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to stay with Avengers as character from that comic but they aren't allowed to use the term 'mutant'.

Considering the entire Marvel Universe is essentially built on the back of Mutants (it's the reason why a huge amount characters have powers even outside of the X-men), this was a huge mistake. Okay so I don't expect Firestar or Justice to ever be in the Avengers films but I'd still like the Marvel Universe to keep it's most brilliant feature. When in SHIELD tv series Coleson said 'We don't know of any psychics.' So he could be lying or not know because of his clearence but the lack of psychics is dissapointing. I have a thought of who the Clairvoyant is but that charatcer while a Avengers villian is a mutant.



Hmm, pie.
