Ah. I'm wondering how many people who returned from the blip had no financial assets. Would all of the disappeared been treated as having died, and their assets distributed? And, is the implication that the ship was just sitting there for five years, unmaintained, because of the blip? That...

Well sure. What can be said about the interior of a black hole is arguably philosophy, not physics. One simple alternative view of black holes is that they have no interior. No currently conceivable experiment can measure anything about the interior. The point is important for anyone wanting...

Sure, but this is important to understanding how things work inside a black hole. There are a lot of misconceptions that are cleared up knowing that all movement within a black hole at less than or equal to the speed of light points to the center of the black hole. Thanks, TomB

That's true for light originating at the event horizon. Light originating within the event horizon follows a path that reaches the singularity at the center of the black hole. Any direction in which light can be emitted within a black hole points towards the singularity. Thanks! TomB

Unwinnable fights can cut against game expectations. If the pcs are hired to rescue a family that was taken by goblins, and they discover, deep in the goblin cave, a powerful goblin shaman well above their power level, a lot of players would give the fight their best shot. Their fantasy is to...

One thing is to make sure that the players have tools for evaluating the difficulty of an encounter. And, that they have options other than a fight. And that moving forward the story or campaign doesn't require fighting a particular enemy. This can be hindered by an "open door, roll...

It seemed to me that Falcon was brushing aside the differences. To him, both Wizards and Sorcerers are both just folks who use magic, with minor differences in presentation. Bucky was having a nerd moment and Falcon was saying, ”Dude, I don’t care”. TomB

Uh, I don’t think that I relieved any of the supers of moral or ethical responsibility. To add a mitigating statement for Wanda, she was attempting and failing to handle her grief, and her actions were more or less a psychological breakdown, with additional consequences due to her psychic...

To be fair ... Tony had been zapped by Wanda when he made Ultron. Hulk‘s one recent rampage was also inflicted. Ronin’s victims were presumably vicious killers themselves. Black widow wasn’t given a choice at first, and was probably mentally conditioned since she was a child. TomB

Except, there was that scene in the hospital, which was chaotic, and there were complaints that there were too many patients. Was that was just the chaos of the moment? (Comics and all, this doesn’t really need to work. I’m not stuck on the point.) TomB

Yeah. It was interesting the mentions of both the snap and the unsnap, and the ramifications of each. In reality, the unsnap would be an unmitigated disaster, with five years of decay of infrastructure. Delivery pipelines would be structured for half as many people. Half as much production...

Yeah, but, wouldn't there be one if not several organizations actively tracking all high level supers? Both as support staff and as external monitors. I just can't see any of these folks not having a constant halo of "observers". And even with the paucity of true Avengers, would there be...

I have to admit ... there is a bit of a disconnect at the end. There should be other Avengers on-hand to assist. And the initial issue was the town being put into a reality bubble. That should be seen as at least kidnapping, and definitely as causing emotional distress to a few thousand...

Haha, a fish called Wanda!

Hear hear! Bittersweet indeed. I’m looking forward to the resolution, yet am sad the series is ending. Thanks all for the lively speculation. TomB

Can we label this as undecided? I had a hard time reading Agnes during her confrontation with the coven. She displays just hints of a few thinks. Not enough to tell clearly. To me she seems a little unaffected, but there are possibles reasons. I suspect the confrontation was deliberately...

Yup. This whole idea of ”magic” was only briefly hinted-at. The audience is being introduced to some additional structure: Witches exist, and have power sources and spells and covens, and a detailed history.

I’m thinking Agatha is being used, in part, to flesh out the “magic” part of the MCU universe. Previously, MCU only had Dr Strange, Wanda, and bits from the TV shows. Putting in Agatha seems to be a first step into stories that feature magic more prominently. I agree, we will only get bits...

Well, they could have said more. I’m thinking the vagueness is deliberate. They’ve painted Agatha darkly, but not enough to keep us from wondering. That also makes Agatha much more interesting. Note that the director of SWORD even has some ambiguity. Heck, even Thanos made a valid point...
