I’m just gonna make an early guess and say that Emilia Clarke’s character in “Secret Invasion” is going to be a Skrull infiltrator/main villain of the miniseries. Which, if I remember correctly, means she’ll be playing Veranke, the Skrull Queen. It’d be in line with the MCU’s tendency to cast popular actors who aren’t known for playing villains as a villain.

(I know I know, but Daenerys was only the villain in the final season, okay).

So I think I’ve figured out (what I think) would make a perfect plot for the next Doctor Strange film that would continue the themes of acceptance and love we see in his first two films.

- Have Stephen’s acceptance of love and trust be slow, using his struggle to control his new, dark powers as an analogue for how becoming the person you want to be is hard and takes time.

- Have his third eye manifest in the form of Sinister Strange to further the analogue, to show that he fears becoming like that. And to continue the theme of Stephen vs. himself (or Benedict vs. Benedict lol)

- Bring Mordo back, but as an “uneasy alley” to Stephen who then teams up with Dormammu to defeat Stephen because, in his mind? Stephen is the real dangerous threat, not Dormammu.

- Have Nightmare as secondary villain to show how terrifyingly awesome he is, as well as to showcase Stephen’s insecurities and fears over what he’s done and what he fears he’ll become if he’s not too careful. Also use Nightmare as a way to bring Stephen and Clea closer together.

- Have Stephen and Clea’s romance be slow burn, and instead focus the film of them becoming friends and allies first, while hinting that they’re attracted to each other.

- And yes, open the film by confirming that yes, Clea watched Stephen die repeatedly at her uncle’s hands and was inspired by/fell in love with him that way.

- Give Rintrah a bigger role (Rintrah’s adorable).

- Instead of one climax, you have two;

The first is Stephen fully giving into his dark powers to save the Earth from Dormammu, loosing himself in the process.

The second (and true climax) is Stephen’s friends trying to bring him back. Stephen hears these pleas, remembers the person he wants to be (someone who isn’t afraid of love anymore), and chooses to embrace life instead of the darkness and he comes back. He’d still have the dark powers, but they don’t have the same hold over him they once did.

- End the film with Stephen and Clea out together, chatting about where the future might take them (and heavily implying that “Yeah, they’re probably gonna start dating sooner or later”)

- Then bookend the film with a callback to the “Are you happy?” question...or set up that Kang is coming!

................

That would be my take on it, anyway.

Either way, I just hope Ben pulls rank and talks Feige into getting a new writer for the third film because...yeah...I may like Multiverse, but I don’t want Waldron touching my boy ever again.

And yes, this is heavily inspired by Strange Tales Vol. II, in case you’re all wondering.

Listen, everyone listen.

- Blade being introduced to the MCU means we'll also be getting vampires.

- The new Captain America movie, based on the title, will be pitting them against HYDRA or a HYDRA offshoot.

- It is also rumored Moon Knight might be in the new Cap movie.

- Reese is a vampire. Soldier is ex-HYDRA.

- This is how the Midnight Mission can still happen I'M JUST SAYING....

This theory is brilliant and make perfect sense. This combined with the fact that Multiverse of Madness potentially fixed the Agents of Shield canon problem has me walking on air rn.

The only thing making hopeful about Lokius maybe possibly being cacon in the next episode is the fact that Loki and Mobius are rumored to be in Deadpool 3 and if THATS the case, there's no way Deadpool wouldn't not only flirt with Mobius but also make sex jokes between Loki and Mobius.

It'd be very ooc if Wade doesn't ONCE mention their unresolved feeling for each other

No one's gonna die (permanently) in the finale.

1. Loki already died tragically in End Game. It would be dumb to do that all over again.

2. Loki won't let Mobius die.

3. Kang and his Multiverse war will not be resolved in the TV series. He's likely being set-up to be the Big Bad for the next Marvel movie, which I'm theorizing will involve Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and Loki.

4. Multiple media articles speculate Mobius will make an appearance in Deadpool 3.

5. Kevin Feige has said he would like Loki and Thor to be together one last time (see #3)

We're gonna be okay, y'all!

Not gonna lie, I’m starting to get the uncomfortable feeling that the reason why Nico Minoru is Peter Parker’s best friend in “Spider-Man: Freshman Year” is that she’s a combination of Ned and MJ, but only in the most shallow terms. What I mean is, she’s both Asian and goth/emo/weird. Plus, Ned and MJ aren’t in the show, despite the series being MCU-adjacent.  

I’m praying that’s not the case, but if Nico Minoru ends up being both the best friend and love interest, we might have to start asking the creators some hard questions.

I think a fun way to bring Strange Supreme into the MCU proper would be for him to try and help our Stephen out with his mild corruption, a continuation of his minor redemption arc at the end of What If…? Season One.

Our Stephen wouldn’t want his help at first…until the corruption becomes too much and he realizes he could really use the help. So he goes to Strange Supreme, who’s just sipping lavender tea like he was expecting him.

Supreme: Well, look who came crawling back? Stephen: Shut up.

....

As an aside, the responses I got from people on the DS Discord were great!

Current rumor mill is the MCU is bringing Ultron back as a potentially recurring antagonist starting with late Phase 5/early Phase 6.

I’m not one to believe anything about MCU installments these days until I see it on-screen but I hope this one is true.

Loki's missing centuries

If Loki had to time slip back to learn all that stuff for centuries, how many times do you think he did that? He wouldn't be able to go too far back, or he might risk messing up the future. He needs to let Ravonna give victor the TVA handbook, and then get victor to the TVA, so I'm thinking that the furthest he could go back safely is when victor showed up at the TVA.

I'm thinking there was about an hour between when Victor showed up, and when the loom exploded. Roughly.

And a year is 8,760 hours. So a century is 876,000 hours. The thing said "centuries later" so thats at least two, but I'm guessing it took longer because he couldn't just study continuously, and probably had to explain himself a lot. So let's say it was 3 centuries later. That's 2,628,000 time slips.

Two million six hundred and twenty eight thousand times that Loki had to watch Mobius and his friends die, time slip painfully to the past, then see them all again - knowing that these variants are about to die, and that all this work won't be remembered.

And he knows that in a way, nothing he does matters because everything he does or says won't be remembered. But he also knows that all these variants that are dying are real people, just like him. He knows that every time the loom explodes, a variant of everyone in the entire freakin universe dies a painful horrible death because he just isn't fast enough, because he is not the perfect all-knowing god he thought he was.

His mind after all those days, weeks, years would get tired, but his body won't. He won't have time to sleep or eat. And his body won't heal. Any punch or cut he got in that fight trying to get Victor to the TVA will still hurt like it's fresh. And he will just have to feel that everyday.

Imagine how long days can feel when things aren't going your way, or when you're in pain. Then multiply it by a hundred thousand.

How long studying for finals-week feels. Multiply it by 15 thousand.

How long high school feels. Multiply it by 75.

Imagine going to high school 75 times in a row, with no support, no breaks, no food, no sleep, and having to watch the love of your life and all your friends die a painfully horrible death 24 times a day.

Like my mind is boggled.

But during all that time, he thought that this was the best plan of action. Because at the end of it, he would get to live. He made variants of the entire universe die two million times because he wanted to to live a life with people who loved him for him.

At the end of the first episode, Loki came crashing into Mobius without any sort of temporal radiation suit. He survived being out there once, and after 300 years, and a whole f ton of time and space knowledge, I'd think he'd figure out that he could go out there and not die.

I want to know when he realized that he was powerful enough to do what he did in the end. Was it really at the end after all those years? Or did he just not do that plan because even after hundreds of years, he was still a little selfish. He would rather all those variants die over and over than give up on his own life. Just maybe. Just a thought.

I feel like a lot of people thought it was unrealistic that Loki changed so much in this show. But that last step that he took to become truly selfless seemed to be the hardest. Loving and being loved wasn't too hard. That took like days or weeks to get used to. But realizing that the solution was to give up his own life took centuries. Or at least acting on that realization. How long would you need to sacrifice yourself like that, given infinite time loops?

How many times would you let the world burn because you're afraid?
