This week we’re setting the stage for Season 9 with a full briefing on the comic book roots of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Our long national nightmare is finally over as we bid a not-so-fond farewell to Thor: The Dark World, dragging ourselves across the finish line to discuss Benicio del Toro’s questionable wig choices and that time The Collector kidnapped the Wasp for… reasons. Join us as we sweep up the plot holes, apologize for the lack of Howard the Duck, and look desperately toward the political thriller sanctuary of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Thor lays his heart bare to his father… only to discover he’s been pouring his soul out to Loki in disguise the entire time. Then we vault into the cosmic chaos of James Gunn’s universe, where the Collector, the Reality Stone, and one very questionable assistant open the door to the MCU’s Infinity future.

Thor battles Malekith inside a swirling Aether blender, while Selvig’s space-remote delivers the villain a very large, very final surprise. Back in Asgard, Thor turns down the crown — unaware he’s sharing his big emotional moment with Loki in disguise.
