What are the best and worst MCU fan theories you have ever heard?

The idea that the locations of the Infinity Stones spelled out Thanos. Tesseract (space stone) Heimdall (was the leading theory for the soul stone like mentioned above) Aether (reality stone) Necklace (time stone) Orb (power stone) Scepter (mind stone

It was close to plausible, though stuff like necklace and orb were stretching it. But even after infinity war I saw people trying to make it still work.

What if someone made an open source decentralized hybrid of Yelp and Glassdoor?

One of the greatest problems, IMO, is that there's little incentive for people to leave good reviews of their company. I'm relatively happy at my job, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go info a website to say why I like working for them. Sure, some people will, but you go onto these types of websites either cuz you wanna complain or because HR is going around with donuts offering one to everyone who leaves a review.

Back to the drawing board

DM: sorry that your character died, do you have a backup in mind?

Me: should I do my "three halflings in a trench coat"? Or maybe the battle master artificer that dual wields lances? We could always use another spellcaster, so I could do the dragon born wizard that's pretending he's a draconic sorcerer. But I really like doing melee in combat, maybe the build I based off the song "16 tons"...

I’m not sure how I feel about this.

Personally, I don't like the longer games. The short games was one of the biggest selling points for me, and most of my playing ends up being one or two games at a time at random points throughout the day.

Though I also haven't managed to get to infinite yet, so part of it might just be a skill issue 😂

Honestly this is why I prefer the "alternate universe" theory. I know the writers claim he stayed in the main timeline, but I don't buy it exactly for the reasons you mentioned. Alternate universe lets him fix problems rather than just letting all that stuff happen.

Harry and Ron were always bored in class because Rowling's magic system is boring as hell

For real. The concept of becoming a master over a wand is world breaking in retrospect. Ron talks about using a hand-me-down wand in the first book, which basically means he was hampered from the beginning by not having a wand that recognized him as its master. And all the wand disarming Harry did means he should have approximately 37 wands that prefer him over their owners.

Since they don't appear to be on Hoopla your best bet might be trying an Inter-library loan for the "Marvel Masterworks: Golden Age Captain America" books. This page should have all the information you would need for the request, though check with your library for the specific method https://www.marvel.com/comics/collection/39345/marvel_masterworks_golden_age_captain_america_vol_1_trade_paperback

As a heads up, Marvel has only reprinted issues 1-20 and 76-78 of the original "Captain America Comics" series. You specifically mentioned Jack Kirby in your post, so if you're only interested in stuff he worked on you're fine, as he only did issues 1-10 and then left Timely until he returned in the late 50s or early 60s. But if you're interested in the entirety of the Golden Age stories then the only way currently to read pages 21-75 are to purchase physical versions (which is impossible for most people) or pirate them.
