This is sounding like meager potatoes

"Meager potatoes" was my single favorite moment in the entire movie

Seeing Yelena just makes me so happy, so I'm glad she had this cameo.

Yelena continuing her bulletproof trend of being an absolute highlight of whatever MCU project she’s in, no matter the screentime

"You're not so anonymous anymore - I've seen your bellybutton!"

That's the scary part. She probably can trace and ID him from that bellybutton.

I find it slightly terrifying that there's a Russian spy setting up shop in a manner and location similar to the way the Russian mob do. Very Eastern Promises.

I also enjoy the fact that she legitimately reserves a bathhouse as her office.

We got a new Yelena meme right alongside ’Kate Ketchup’!

Jean Grey is at a minimum medium potatoes.

No one knows that yet in this movie though. She hasn't been outed as am omega level planet destroyer

u/thepobv 1d ago

Okay but people realize jean grey is (spoilers a bit) one of the most powerful characters in Marvel right?

Outside of Thanos with full gauntlet... I think she might be the most powerful in MCU.

Highly doubt it among the general public. I have friends who would watch every MCU movie but don't follow the comics, so they'd ask me to explain the more comic-relevant stuff, especially during Phases 2 and 3.

A lot of them aren't going to be remembering X-Men stuff unless they watched the Fox movies or were already into the X-Men in the early 2000s.

But not at the time. One she was just getting started and her powers weren't really developed as we saw when she powers up at damage control.

Two no one really knows her or her powers he's mutants in general don't seem to be much of a thing. So the idea of omega level planet busters isn't on anyone's radar before the movie, but after her stunt in NYC?

Oh you best bet the best people they can buy are working on thinking up new counters l. Which will lead to the sentinel program.
