Strange,
I didn’t see a single person of color in that trailer…
Wonder what planet they’re living on?

Samuel was in the first few seconds.
And Scarlett Johansson was in the whole thing. /s

Well, it mostly focused on the Black Widow’s family, so… Russia?
David Harbour regularly posts photos and videos of himself poking fun at his “dad bod”, so if anything, that sounds like playful mockery written for him.

So who is his character? I am not as familiar with the Avengers books. I do like that his costume is a bright color!
He is Red Guardian…basically Soviet era Captain America.
There have been numerous people who wore the mantle of RG…none had any super powers of note, yet the MCU version seems to have some enhancement going on based on that teaser. It may just be a trick of the trailer cuts.
There is a whole line up of a Soviet Avengers known as The Winter Guard
I bet we get a Crimson Dynamo sighting in this film…he is a major character in Marvel’s history for Iron Man and the effects tech for an armored character is proven.

Wait, what was the reaction to Thor in Endgame?
Internet, please tell me what the accepted consensus opinion on this is. I don’t want to embarass myself on 4chan.

My personal reaction was “Thor’s PTSD, alcoholism and related weight-gain were by far the most realistic and relatable reactions to the events of Infinity War and War Machine was frankly being a dick with that ‘Cheez-Whiz’ jab.”
Tony Stark’s “Lebowski” comment was kind of mean but funny.

I’ve seen many a contractor who didn’t let a little beer gut stand in the way of mastering a hammer.

I’ve seen many a contractor stand in the way of whole buildings with a crack big enough to hide a sledgehammer in, but if the work comes in on time and on budget who cares how big they are?

It’s almost as though social norms around whether it’s okay to make being fat the butt of a joke have shifted in the last *looks at watch* 15 years.
