The thing that really hits me about the Marvel universe (in general, both cinematic and comic) is that there’s just so much weird shit happening all the time.

That one scene at the beginning of Black Panther where T’Challa’s just chilling on a branch and the traffickers shine a light on him? If you were a normal human in the Marvel world, the possibilities for that are endless. Is he a superhero? Is he a supervillain? Is that even a suit, like did his mutant power turn him into a black panther? Or is he a just nut job in fancy dress?

That scene where Eddie Brock first sees Venom in the movie, where Venom manifests itself outside of Eddie’s body? He’s so fucking tired. He’s been hearing this weird, low voice that he’s worryingly attracted to and it’s actually an alien symbiote that’s improving his quality of life and helping him take down diet-Elon Musk. You know what? Fine. The girlfriend left him, he lost his job, so he might as well get an alien free-loader to avoid hitting rock bottom and steer his life to full-on weird.

That scene in S1 of Daredevil where Matt tried to get this junior cop to co-operate with him and the cop just fucking throws it back in his face, and then Vladimir won’t even take the best chance he has at revenge for his brother? Honestly can you blame them. Who is this masked dude??? Is he a vigilante? Is he working for Fisk? Or a guy testing out his costume on New York?

That part in infinity War where Stark just says, ‘yea a bad guy’s trying to steal a necklace from a wizard’? That’s… that’s the most succinct description of what was happening. And it wasn’t even the weirdest part, because there was a doughnut shaped spaceship above New York.

Anyway thanks for coming to my TEDtalk. Who the hell knows what’s going on in the Marvel universe. Even if you did have superpowers, it’s just a roll of the goddamn dice who you meet out there. Gwenpool’s the only character that makes any sense.
