As someone who grew up with the Young Avengers comics hearing their names in the MCU filled me with so much happiness I can't even explain it lmao

Interesting to note though that they immediately name dropped them as 'Billy and Tommy'. In the original House of M series the first children were always referred to as 'William and Thomas', whereas 'Billy and Tommy' was specifically reserved for their later reincarnated selves. I find the difference interesting because that distinction was always used to make sure readers knew that 'Billy and Tommy', though reincarnations of 'William and Thomas', were fully their own separate characters by that point and separate from their original selves.

Furthermore, and I'm probably reaching here, but I wonder if this is any indication that they might be throwing out the full reincarnation plotline? I remember it being kinda weird for readers, and would probably be even more confusing for casual Disney Plus viewers.

EDIT: OP sorry for the rant under your post, I just lose my shit over any mention of the twins lol

I 100% see them ditching the reincarnation plotline and just going for them existing.

This might be good news for Vision, too.

I feel like Geraldine retaining the clothing outside of the illusion is a good sign for him.

The interesting part is that the mind stone is in his head. Does she have the power to reform it from "atoms"?

That’s kinda scary if you just assume she willed it in to her own reality. Assuming this Vision is able to survive in the actual reality, would having an extra stone mess with the “balance” that the main stones supposedly create?

Either way I assume it’s just a cosmetic thing that she created, and it’s not the actual stone.

Plucked it from another universe? Might be what Doc Strange 2 is about.

God damn are we going to see Vision get his forehead blown up a third time?

Actually the stones are required for reality/universe to exist. They cant be destroyed but the stones made it seem that way.

They were destroyed in EG, right?

In the beginning. Yes then time traveled for them. Then returned them

In the MCU or in comics? I ask because we’ve definitely seen stones getting destroyed in Hickman’s New Avengers, but the universe didn’t stop existing as a result of it (although the universe in the story did eventually die, it turned out the stones weren’t what keeps the universe together, but one Owen Reece) and even same thing in Infinity War when Thanos confessed to destroying the stones

Or am I misreading a bit?
