Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

The whole Multiverse saga has been bungled.
This scene was great at setting the stakes, the most powerful thing from the last saga are now paperweights. That was a great scene. Loki knew how powerful these stones were, he used one of them,m but now they are nothing. If I recall correctly this was after he tried to use his own magic. So it was confirmation that whatever this realm was, it didn't just work on him, it worked on the most powerful thing he could have imagined.
And then of course you look at the rest of that show. It set up a great villain. The only person who was actually in control of this crazy world Loki found himself in. He acts and behaves exactly as someone who knows everything would. He taunts, he has fun, and he ultimately gives Loki a reasonable choice. Chaos, which could unravel all of time, or order, which means some must sacrifice.
And a choice is made. By... Loki? Other Loki. Different Loki. The same Loki?
That was a hell of a setup.
And then Ant-Man kills Kang.
(And the Kang actor is arrested [and eventually convicted] for assault.)
The Multiverse saga was already having a tough time, but to lose your villain... That's rough from a story perspective.
The other thing, going back to the Infinity Stones themselves is that you needed to nerf them somehow. We do get a Multiverse Infinity Stones story in What If...? with Ultron. So that story is also told.
No one is going to complain when the Infinity Stones don't show up in Doomsday or Secret Wars. But if they do we can point to Loki to point out how they don't always work in whatever magical thing we end up seeing, or point to how they already told the Multiverse stone story.
