there he is trans and has dropped "america" because it was stolen land--they are now "countess turtle island."  they have ditched the shield, as mining is evil.  they have a little tofu-based parasol for protection in battle.  but few battles occur; when disputes arise, they go to a safe space to kumbaya it out.  "we can do this all day" is an oft-used phrase there.

I read this & it made me think of a music video I recently saw. Probably best not to watch for anyone sensitive about the topic though. I’m sure this song has upset many people already.

His legs look much better than I would have expected from previous reports. Looks like the damage was closer to his ankle rather than his knee. Hoping to hear more positive updates.

I could have lost my leg back in 2010 & had to undergo a Fasciotomy due to internal bleeding. When there’s lack of oxygen, the tissue starts dying off. They had to open both sides of my leg from knee to ankle in order to alleviate pressure. My leg was swollen for years & I needed heavy sedatives for the pain.

I’m sure the ultimate conclusion of this incident is being held back for JR’s sanity, but he’s probably coming to terms with the reality at this point. He will likely spend extensive amounts of money to try & save his leg, but I honestly think it will be futile unfortunately. I hope I’m wrong though & that his wealth combined with modern tech can make the difference.

Speaking from my own experience, I was doubtful from the start. At least he would have lost it playing an Avenger in the most important role of his life, protecting family.

I liked the new trailer, and hope the film can clarify and focus Kang as an interesting and potent villain.  The MCU more than ever needs a narrative through-line, which is made almost impossible by their embrace of the multiverse and its infinite possibilities.  Such possibilities erode any sense of 'stakes' with regard to story-telling, so the sooner they can set its limits and move us forward in terms of character interactions (which is what I loved about the Infinity Saga), the better.  I am a huge fan of Phases 1-3, but have found Phase 4 too scattered and broad in its storytelling thus far.  There are some pockets of real potential, I think, but only pockets.  Hope Quantumania helps the cause.

I’m not sure why people feel that way. If your car was destroyed, would it be of no consequence because you can replace it? If there are unlimited versions of every character in unlimited universes, does that really discount the impact of their loss? The events still occurred, so their impact shouldn’t become irrelevant. I think that impact was made quite relevant when Wanda wanted to take away the children of her alternate self.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news & don’t know how legit it is, but the latest info I read was that JR’s leg bones were shattered (which only makes sense given the weight of the plow) & his leg will likely be amputated. Unfortunately, I think this is the reality of his situation. I suppose with his financial resources, it’s possible to consider all alternatives like 3D bone printing to try & prevent amputation. I don’t know how functional the leg would ever be though & I doubt they will be able to reconstruct his shattered bones. It sounds like only one leg was impacted (thank God) & although there’s no mention of his foot, those bones were likely shattered as well.
