or these could all be background easter eggs that mean nothing
GoTG rumor
Even in the context of them being background Easter Eggs, it still means that at some point it takes place back on Earth, which is interesting in and of itself.

UnbrokenEvaHIGH ON THE WIREBUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered Userregular
Maybe they only rip up the postcard parts of Sydney
Have the comics ever had a mutant or other meta-human with phenomenal destructive powers, but only against iconic landmarks?
Because I suddenly want one. They'd obliterate Mt Rushmore with a sneeze, but not be able to scratch the average unremarkable building.
They'd be a villain with deep influence in the governing bodies that declare Historical Sites, to gradually spread their power. But their degree of influence over a specific location within that sphere of influence would be linked to the cultural prominence of the site. So they could make the Eiffel Tower explode so violently that the shockwave would push the moon out of orbit, but like the house that has a plaque on it that says Jimmy Carter lived there for part of his childhood, they could maybe give that building dry rot if they concentrated for a couple days.
Name possibilities: The Monumenace? The Landmarksman?
Name can't hint at what he does, because you need the 5-issue story arc about <SUPER TEAM> running around the world trying to chase down this terrifying new menace who's trying to intimidate nations into submission with massive displays of power, until ultimately they piece together enough clues to his secret and manage to engage him somewhere with no historical significance whatsoever - at which point he gets punched in the face once or twice and gives up.
His return plot arc starts with the prison he's in being declared a landmark.
Yes! He's just shopping at a Wal Mart, and Spider-man's there buying socks and he's like "Heeeeey... isn't that the guy? From the thing? At the place? OH CRAP", so he ducks into the dressing room and switches into his costume, and then busts out and fights the monument exploding guy!
But the guy's not a total pushover! He's got a trenchcoat full of gimmick weapons made from tourist souvenirs. Like, throwing darts made from little Washington Monuments, and Leaning Tower of Pisa nunchucks, and a fencing foil with a handle that looks like the Space Needle, and he chucks little Pyramid-caltrops all over, but Spidey doesn't care because he's not touching the ground anyway.
And then later Spidey has to break back into the Wal Mart, because he left his civilian clothes in a bundle webbed to the roof of the changing room, all his subway tokens are in his pockets, and he doesn't have enough web goo left to swing all the way back to his apartment.

We don't use subway tokens in NYC anymore.
Yeah but does New-York-616?
We haven't used them for over a decade.
But what does that have to do with Earth-616?
That Earth-616 generally matches the aesthetics of modernity? Like, you don't see CRTs anymore in 616 either.

Okay swap the tokens for the 30-day unlimited Metrocard he just bought like yesterday.
So Bleeding Cool says that the Standoff teaser isn't a return of an existing hero it is
Agent Kincaid becoming the new Quasar
Which sounds pretty plausible to me given
how much screen time she's gotten in the event and the fact that Wendell hasn't shown up in years
It really makes me curious if
they're going to reveal that Wendell is retired or dead or something
why else would SHIELD have some Quantum Bands in a vault
Could be that they tried to replicate them using Kobik or that she isn't even using the Quantum Bands and has another power source
Wendell became Quasar when the SHIELD base he was at got attacked by an enemy force and he had to use the bands to help save the day so it would make sense for them to try and replicate that success or just serve as an appropriately similar origin for a new Quasar
Also I doubt Luke Cage uses the same motif as Jessica Jones
It has been described as very different than either it or Daredevil and the whole washed out Purple and White color scheme is very Jessica Jones centric
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the posters were the only thing Fillion shows up in
He's Gunn's buddy and loves doing goofy cameos in his movies, he was the alien that Groot and Rocket intimidate after arriving on Knowhere in the first film
It having a scene on Earth in the seeming present day is very interesting though
Let me rephrase that, hunting down remaining stones, to safeguard them like they did the Reality stone.
Space is still on Asgard, so kind of out of their reach.
Reality is hidden by the collector on Knowhere, so they probably can't find it.
Mind stone is on Vision, and he isn't cast from what I see. So probably not him.
Power they already gave to Nova corps.
Soul stone is ??? - Strange's locket?
Time stone is ???
I guess they could end up finding the time stone? That could explain possible time shifts?

Honestly I doubt it revolves around another Infinity Stone
It's a little too similar to the first film and they will probably cover that ground in Infinity War more than GotG 2, especially with confirmation that the Guardians are in IW
I seem to recall... Feige? hinting that Strange's amulet has some weird time shit, but I could be wrong
Yeah, although I have found that weird, since I have never recalled Strange really dealing with Time travel. Space or Soul has always seemed like the most thematically appropriate for him. (He even had the Soul one for awhile in the comics.)
Feige quote;
"...the Eye is a very important relic that can be quite dangerous if used in the wrong hands, because it has the ability to do any number of things, the most dangerous of which is, it can sort of manipulate probabilities. Which is also another way of saying, ‘screw around with time’..."

I could totally be down with the Eye of Agamotto being the Time gem. The MCU has taken a lot of liberties with the source material so maybe his magic is more about probability than straight up mystic stuff.
Like, a more grounded magic type. I'm keen to see how they fold magic into the existing MCU. The Asgardians are the closest to actually being magical and even they handwave that as advanced science.
personally the most infuriating part of the limited events isn't not being able to unlock everyone, it's not being able to fully upgrade everyone you do unlock

Oscar Isaac had sold the ticket already

but 1) he was a good guy and 2) a one-off thing
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
It really makes me curious if
why else would SHIELD have some Quantum Bands in a vault
well isn't this mysterious
Wendell became Quasar when the SHIELD base he was at got attacked by an enemy force and he had to use the bands to help save the day so it would make sense for them to try and replicate that success or just serve as an appropriately similar origin for a new Quasar
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
If they make Black Panther or Winter Soldier the Groot-esque basically impossible to get unless you spend a ton of money character I will be
Well
Mildly annoyed I guess
Luke Cage teaser, I guess?

The watercolor style, from what we can see, is a lot like Jessica Jones's poster
It has been described as very different than either it or Daredevil and the whole washed out Purple and White color scheme is very Jessica Jones centric
Ha.
What the fuck does this have to do with Guardians though?
He's Gunn's buddy and loves doing goofy cameos in his movies, he was the alien that Groot and Rocket intimidate after arriving on Knowhere in the first film
It having a scene on Earth in the seeming present day is very interesting though
Going after the one in Strange's locket?
Space is still on Asgard, so kind of out of their reach.
Reality is hidden by the collector on Knowhere, so they probably can't find it.
