    We never did find out what Nick Fury said to Thor did we?

    Wow we didn't.

    It's almost like they got it out of their ass and have no idea what would even be enough to to de-worthy Thor in a few simple words, and know that whatever they made it it would be disappointing!

    That's

    Not true at all

    Like I am expecting it to be disappointing, definitely, but Jason Aaron has known exactly what was said and is still writing Thor and has said that it will be revealed before he is done with the title. It wasn't just an asspull that they are scrambling to fill in, Aaron has a plan and is playing the long game. He's still building towards the War of the Nine Realms that he started setting up back in God of Thunder 4 years ago.

    Another fun logistical question occurs

    Scott Lang knew Falcon was an Avenger in Ant-Man

    When the Avengers had all that turnover at the end of Ultron, did they have to issue like, a press release

    Was there an earnings call

    Is it public knowledge that one of the Avengers is an android with a cheerful British brain
    There's a tradition of Avengers doing press conferences for new teams so I wouldn't be surprised if they did one

    "Mr. StarkCaptain America! Tub Blarblar, World News News. With Wanda Maximoff in the payroll, would you say you are now pro-felon illegal immigrants?"

    I'm pretty sure Bendis or Waid mentioned that even they don't know what Fury told Thor, the only ones who know are Aaron, his editor, Brevoort and Alonso.

    Black Panther and Wonder Man both don't have voice acting

    You're slipping, TinyCo

    fuckyoupayus
    You can't buy voice acting! That doesn't apply!

    I dunno

    if you throw some money at me I can read some lines for you.

    You could, like, pretend they're coming from the game.

    Falcon is one of the best characters in the MCU

    Dude immediately risks his life and throws away everything he had to help Steve when he had no reason to, loves being an Avenger and helping his friend and is consistently hilarious and charming and also Anthony Mackie is dreamy

    Also; the fact that three of the dudes in Civil War are named Steve, Scott, and Sam seems like it has a lot of potential to confuse.

    Hey if they can get by behind the scenes with a thousand Chris's , I think we can accommodate some S names :biggrin:

    If you really think Jason Aaron, who has been telling one giant story in Thor since the beginning, doesn't know then I don't know what to tell you dude

    Ya true on the Aaron part, just does seem like way past the point of reveal, but there were a lot of hands muddled all over that event too weren't there?

    Not really, Aaron handled the whole thing. It just wasn't well received

    He commented on the past few months that he hasn't forgotten about it and that it will be revealed before he's done with Thor, probably around the end when Jane's cancer will undoubtedly progess and Odinson has Ultimate Mjolnir

    They should never mention it again, and quietly forget about it because that would almost certainly be less disappointing than whatever the reveal will end up being.

  • Options
    BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Oh yeah, to be clear, I think the reveal is going to suck and nothing will make that sloppy storytelling work

    But Aaron definitely knows what was said and has plans on when to reveal it

    I'm not sure how y'alls inability to think of a satisfying answer to that question somehow means that Aaron couldn't have? It may suck, but I'm not going to assume one way or another, because Aaron has already produced enough interesting ideas on this run that I hadn't or wouldn't have thought of, I'm open to the idea that he might have one or two more that we haven't seen yet.

    I just think that given the fact that it has to be a single sentence or phrase, there isn't a satisfying answer for what could shake Thor Odinson's very being to the degree that he would no longer be worthy and go down the road he did.

    Aaron could absolutely prove me wrong, he's an excellent writer, but I am incredibly skeptical.

    The best guess I've heard is
    You can't save her. In regards to Jane Foster.
    and even though it is the best I would still find it very unsatisfying

    Even if the words were legit that whole thing was just a total mess of awful storytelling and nothing will salvage it.

    EDIT: And by that I mean Original Sin being the vehicle for a totally left field plot twist rather than Jane having superpowers which is a decent idea. As far as the whole "Thor is a title" thing, well it wasn't (his name is Thor Odinson), but then they decided it was. Which is stupid, but whatever.

    I feel like if it was going to be that, the moment has passed.
    But who knows, maybe it will be revealed when Jane is about to die. But if it were me I would have revealed it when Thor was revealed as Jane. Otherwise it's this awkward silence.

    To be fair, the only person who knows Jane is Thor besides, well, Jane is Sam Wilson.

    Odinson has no idea

    Avengers Academy. In some of these Civil War missions I am getting what look like SHIELD ID badges. I can not figure out what these are for. No one seems to need them to level up.

    Well, he does see him at the new Avengers facility, and Falcon is a known ally of Captain America.

    It'd be safe for Scott to assume Falcon is an Avenger.

    I mean, the only other time Sam's been seen in action with Steve was at the tail end of Winter Soldier, and I doubt anybody knew much beyond "Hydra used Shield to make some battleships that Captain America blew up."

    And there were a lot of people bustling about the New Avengers facility at the end of AoU, so it'd probably be reasonable for Scott to think Falcon was just Some Dude unless the team publicly explained what happened in Sokovia and introduced the new team at some point between AoU and Ant-Man.

    Though the more likely explanation is that the screenwriter forgot, or thought it'd be easier for the audience if Scott recognized Sam as an Avenger without giving a big explanation as to why.

    Black Widow testified to the events of Winter Soldier in Congress at the end of the movie. Considering that she was there to be as truthful as possible it's wholly likely that she also explains the bird man seen in DC before and during the attack on the Helicarrier.

    Even from the very first scene during the run, it's amazing how they immediately make him so incredibly likeable.
