    Ranxerox got a reaction from Cygnia in In other news...   
    The rockets were fired out of Syria not Gaza. The attack was likely by Iranian backed militias rather than Palestinians, and certainly not by the woman praying in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.  But I guess questions of actual guilt aren't important.

    Heads up for those of you who read digital comic books.  Until July 17th, Comixology has essentially every comic book that Black Widow played a lead role in at a steeply discounted price, and if you have Comixology Unlimited you can borrow them for free as long as you like.  I have started with Black Widow Epic Collection: Beware of the Black Widow which begins with her first appearance as a villain in Tale of Suspense  #52 and goes from there.  So far it has been a lot fun.

    I fly a flag in the summer.  You aren't suppose to fly the stars and stripes in the dark, and only in the summer is it already light by the time that I have to leave for work.
     
    As for the politics and the meaning of the flag, I refuse to cede either my country or the flag that represents it to racist and fascist.

    Well, that is a theory.
     
    However, based upon what we know as opposed to what we fear, I don't think that theory is well supported.  Long time Marvel character and Cap partner, Sam Wilson has been promoted to Captain America in a story that feels organic to the MCU.  Spectrum has been introduced to the MCU and appears set to become a member of Avengers 2.0.  Fan favorite character Kamala Khan is getting her own Disney+ show, and while she has the name Ms Marvel, she is definitely her own character.  America Chavez is set to appear in Dr Strange 2, and whatever else you might say about her, she is an original character that is not a swapped version of anyone else.  Black Panther had a movie and it was huge.  Shang Chi has a movie coming out in September.  Isiah Bradley has been introduced in the MCU.  
     
    IOW, Marvel has continued to take existing great minority characters and introduce them to the MCU rather than leaving them to languish in obscurity or simply race swap white characters.

    I've seen the first episode and thought it showed promise.  As Pattern Ghost indicated it is going to depend heavily on where they go from here.
     
    As for the whole predestination thing, that not really how it works.  The Timekeepers selected a timeline to be the one that they keep and defend.  They didn't create the timeline.  The people in the timeline all got to make their choices, to be heroic or villainous.  It is only from the standpoint of the Timekeepers that the decisions are already prescribed.  Just as we can look back on the past and say what happened, but that does not mean that people at the time weren't making decisions, and taking chances and making sacrifices with which they would have to live.
     
    Still, it has already been strongly foreshadowed, that Loki is going to try to break the Timekeepers and their organization.  So, that is likely to be a big part of the series going forward.
