Pretty EnWorld has rules about not threadcrapping, if only a moderator was around to enforce it …

In setting up a zinger, you've apparently missed that what is happening here is not what we consider threadcrapping. Discussions normally experience some topic drift. It is actually a valuable part of discussion.

When topic has drifted significantly, we may well support polite requests to pull things back on topic. Snark is much less persuasive.

They seem pretty clearly to be repulsor based weaponry.

Yeah, and i just remembered the others are sonic-based.

Those weapons used by Damage Control made me think they were born out of the same line of weapons from Stark Industries that Ross used on the Hulk at Culver University.

Yeah absolutely, and considering that Damage Control was a joint partnership between Govt and Stark Industries then absolutely theyre using Stark Tech but then in the MCU isnt everyone using Stark Tech?.

which does bring up the question - whats up with Stark Industires, is Peppa still in charge?
and does she know whats going, on first with Visions body (patent owned by Stark Industries) and now with Damage Controls more militant enforcement approach?

Pepper is likely still the CEO but there are many layers between the C level execs, and the street level operations. Stark didn't know a lot of what was going on.

I expect that even with Justin Hammer going to prison, there are likely still a lot of people using Hammer Tech's budget Stark wannabe equipment. There will be a lot of different players in the arms industry, just as there are today.

I suspect you'll have to wait until Armor Wars to get much answer to that.

Note the situation with Mysterio.

Which begs the question where did Kamala go?

Which begs the question where did Kamala go?

Yeah, we’ve been talking about that upthread. Some speculation on the Negative Zone. I reckon it’s more likely she’s on some other planet. (They won’t have her floating in space unless she can survive in a hard vacuum like Carol can).

 

[trappedslider]

Also, Carol has changed hairstyles again, don't let Rocket know lol

My big takeaway from the first season is maybe the Karachi stuff would have worked better in the second season. The two opening episodes did such a great job establishing Kamala in Jersey City; putting a character in a place like all good fiction is supposed to do (well, most), bringing both to life that when the action moved to Karachi it felt jarring. Something was lost.

I get the themes being explored, and the Karachi section was just as well shot as the stuff in Jersey, but I would preferred a hyper-local first season. Pakistan would have hit harder after a whole season in the Garden State (where the show wasn’t actually filmed, I understan).

Full Disclosure: I grew up not too far from Jersey City, so I could be biased!
