Keep that gronk (& edelman) off injured reserved for the whole year
@ElDosEquis, I fixed that for you. Otherwise thumbs up (especially the parts about Manning - Peyton & Eli both)

Can anyone tell what is up on Jill's computer screen that she's "studying"?
It's video of some sort.

So, yeah, I love watching Cap fight. Just love it.
Plus that fight in the elevator is really fantastic. I love that Cap's fights are like acrobatic ballet.
It seemed like Cap is always holding back a bit in fights but then when you see him lift Bucky up with one hand, you realize just how damn strong he is.

I hear you. I have a "to read" list a mile long. Maybe we should start a support group.

I love chocolate cake, especially my mom's Texas Cocoa Cake (also called Texas Sheet Cake). I'm allergic to pecans, so she leaves them out, and she adds a bit of cinnamon to the cake batter (some recipes do, but many don't). My last birthday was #50, so I was feeling a little nostalgic -- I baked a pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting (from a mix). It's a cake my grandfather and I both loved, and his birthday was a couple of weeks before mine.
That sounds divine! Mind sharing the recipe?
Sorry, no recipe. That's something my mother always bought from an Italian bakery.

An eliminator game could be done as well......pick a team each week as a guaranteed win, can only pick each team once, last person standing wins
I was wondering that myself. I'm in if we're doing weekly picks.

I completely agree with this. The whole "birthday cake" flavor thing has been bugging me for some time because to me, classic "birthday cake" is yellow cake with chocolate icing.
My classic birthday cake is an Italian rum cake with two layers of pastry cream, one vanilla and one chocolate, with toasted sliced almonds coating the sides.

I wish they'd put out an extended edition or a director's cut of Cap3 (and Cap2). Has Marvel/Disney done that for any of the movies in the MCU?

Problem is, Sam's a fugitive now too.
I'd say Steve was choosing himself over the shield, the good man not the perfect soldier.
That being said, I have a feeling that Steve will be picking the Shield back up when Infinity War rolls around.

I'd love to see Evans, Stan, & Mackie do a buddy movie or maybe a one-shot road trip type reality show. They seem to have so much fun together.

I agree, @Dandesun. There's just something about it that makes it really adorkable. They're so in sync going under. Plus Evans looks about twelve; I think it's his hair.

Can anyone explain to lapsed catholic/atheist me what Derrick Dullard is saying here? Because I read this tweet and it makes zero sense to me.

Since I don't have kids, I'm curious. Does a 1 year old really need to go to a dentist? Is that what's recommended? If it is, it's probably one of the only times we'll see a Duggar doing something that's medically recommended.

As far as Tony trying to kill Bucky at the endm I'm not sure as simple as saying Bucky was under mind control so Tony shouldn't blame him for Howard and Maria's deaths. Because in Winter Soldier Bucky wss under mind control, but he still had enough control to not kill Cap at the end but actually save his life. So if I'm Tony i would be wondering why Bucky couldn't fight off the brain washing before 1991.
In Cap2, Bucky wasn't able to break free of the brainwashing on his own. It was seeing Steve that made it happen.
Bucky had known Steve practically his whole life. Per the Smithsonian exhibit. "Best friends since childhood, Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers were inseparable on both schoolyard and battlefield."
So yeah, Steve's presence on the street when he first encounters the Winter Soldier is enough to put a small crack in the brainwashing as evidenced in the scene in the vault. Bucky asks who the man the bridge was. He says twice "I knew him." Then he's wiped. On the helicarrier in that final fight, it takes Steve saying "I'm with you 'til the end of the line." Saying to Bucky the words Bucky had said to him after his mother's funeral for a glimmer of recognition to occur.
There's about two years between Bucky being rescued by Steve in Azzano and when he falls from the train. But we have no idea how well Bucky and Howard knew each other. They obviously did but how close could they have been seeing as Steve and the Howling Commandos were running missions during that time. That relationship would not have had the same emotional depth as the one he had with Steve to break through the brainwashing.
In the end Tony was still trying to murder someone he knew had been tortured and brainwashed for decades. If Tony was thinking rationally enough to think that Bucky was at fault because he didn't break through the brainwashing sooner, then well that's even worse to me.

That's why I don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number. I've gotten two of those "IRS" calls. The second one was a bit after midnight. As if the IRS would call at that time. The messages they left were quite fun to listen to.

Legally, it constitutes diminished capacity, which would mean he would be charged with a lesser offense (assuming he was ever charged, which is a whole 'nother arena for speculation).
The IronMan movies showed us a lot about Tony's relationship with his father, but they never mentioned his mother. From his flashback scene at MIT, it looks like she provided him with the unconditional love and emotional support that he was missing from his father. I find it extremely telling that Tony's words before launching his attack were "he killed my mom." His father's death no doubt left him unmoored, but his mother's death must have ripped his heart out.
Legally, yes. Morally, no. IMHO And yeah, the whole billionaire aspect would probably ensure he'd never have been charged if he had succeeded.
But if T'Challa, whose grief is still so fresh, could decide NOT kill Zemo, Tony should've been able to get enough control over himself after his initial violent outburst to stop trying to kill Bucky, a man he knew had tortured/brainwashed for YEARS and had been used as a weapon. Tony could still be pissed at Steve and feel betrayed by Steve but it's still not an excuse for cold-blooded murder. The only person in that last fight trying to kill anyone was Tony, he was the aggressor.
