Essential Avengers: Avengers #297: FUTURES IMPERFECT!

November, 1988

The CLASH That WRECKED The Avengers!

Seems to be wrecking Nebula instead.

Which. I’m pretty okay with.

Not sure when she changed back into the Kang outfit. Or why she changed back into the Kang outfit.

Eh.

So last times in East Coast Avengers: Dr Druid manipulated and connived and undermined and election frauded his way to chairmanship of the Avengers. Due to ominous sex dreams, he was convinced that a great calamity was coming and only the Avengers could stop it and only he could get the team in shape to stop it. Because Captain Marvel was too soft with her -checks notes- not wanting to kill people if it could be avoided.

Then it turns out that the ominous sex dream lady was actually Nebula Kang, manipulating Dr Druid’s sense of self-importance so she could get control over the Avengers. With Dr Druid under her thumb and the Avengers under Dr Druid’s thumb, she plans to go to the Bubble at the Heart of Time to get some super-duper-uber weapon to overshadow all other weapons and. Just be the boss of everything, I guess.

The Kangs of the Kang Klubhouse belatedly realize that Nebula infiltrated them and stole all their technology. A team of three Kangs, one of which is named Fred, try to stop her but arrive too late.

Nebula and the Avengers took off in an FTL-enabled Quinjet and after a lot of timebulance, arrive at the Bubble at the Heart of Time.

Which sure is a big, red bubble-shaped thing.

My parents instituted a rule so early I can’t remember them making the decision that I was not allowed to watch a thing more than once a day, and it still feels incredibly wrong to me to rewatch a movie or a show in the same day. For a long time I thought this was for their sanity, but when they found out that’s what I thought, they told me it was because they were worried that watching stuff on loop would warp a kid’s mind.

Anyway, I still watched Lady and the Tramp and The Little Mermaid so much that I have a hard time actively noticing the details rather than letting everything wash over me uncritically.

this clip from make some noise s1e8 with oscar montoya and brennan lee mulligan is the only super mario bros content i care about personally

brennan lee mulligan has the greatest superpower: the unlimited ability to make an absolutely off-the-cuff monologue and then follow it up with the ultimate turnaround. he can share the power with others

but credit also needs to be firmly planted in the hands of oscar for hearing the prompt say "dramatic video game cutscene" and then going "got it, mario and luigi."

Oh also I’ve had people say this comic is inaccurate because this is the kind of talk they’d be giving to the board and let me tell you, I was a literal temp worker at a warehouse and I sat through multiple meetings just like this.

1990s sci-fi television makeup is like "is this character supposed to be a space alien, or just old?"

"is this character meant to be a space alien or are they just wearing a very Avant Garde wig"

Is this character meant to be a space alien or is that just her hat
