    Ik this is sarcasm and all but when I say that "everything Legion says is the truth", I am not saying that literally every single prediction you make is gonna come true (Mario $500M WW, Marvels > Barbie, JWD $200M OW, etc). 

     

    It's kinda hard to explain but I'm saying that the crux of everything you say has some level of inherent truth and validity to it. Basically if you say "this MCU movie should do $200M OW" and then it misses (DS2, BP2, GOTG 3), that means it underperformed and something went wrong. So we can basically use all of your predictions as a benchmark for what something should have done. 

     

    But I also think everything you say in your retrospective analysis (so like talking about the performances of run that's already ended) is literally the definitive truth. It's all 100% honest. When a result underperforms you completely admit it instead of backtracking and saying "well this result is actually good because xyz."

    This film has weird potential 9/11 stuff that went completely unexplored (for good reason - this would in no way fit with the story they wanted to tell). Based on other information, it's clearly an unintended side effect of moving the film's settings from the late 1990s to early 2000s but if you're talking about NYC first responders in the early 2000s, 9/11 immediately comes to mind. 

     

    Based on timeline cues this film implicitly took place within a month of (and likely within a week of) the invasion of Iraq and/or the announcement that the government foiled a plot to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge for Al-Qaeda (also 6 months after the DC sniper). This would be understood in MCU world as another foiled NYC terror attack that was at least initially presumptively tied to Al-Qaeda. Given that one of the abducted girls is J. Jonah Jameson's niece, are we to infer this is why the MCU's version of JJJ went off the deep end especially when tied to Spider-Man?
