Marvel MCU Comedy Routine

 Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Woo! Or as I like to call it, the MCU, where superheroes go to find their own therapists. Now, I have a confession to make. I'm a huge Marvel fan. I mean, who isn't these days? It's like a requirement for being a human being. You're either a Marvel fan or you're an alien, and I don't know about you, but I don't trust those green little guys from outer space.

But let's talk about the MCU. They have so many superheroes, it's like a never-ending buffet of spandex-wearing, cape-flying goodness. We've got Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, and the list goes on. It's like a dysfunctional family reunion where everyone has issues but can bench press a truck.

And have you noticed how every superhero has their own standalone movie? It's like they're competing for attention. "Hey, I can save the world better than you!" "No, I can!" It's like a superhero version of the Real Housewives, except with less drama and more explosions.

But you know what? I've always wondered what it would be like to be a superhero. I mean, imagine having those powers. The ability to fly, to shoot lasers out of your eyes, to turn green and smash things. It's like the ultimate power fantasy. But let's be honest, if I had those powers, I'd probably just use them to get out of traffic jams. "Sorry, officer, I didn't see the red light. I was too busy saving the world."

And can we talk about the villains? They're always so dramatic, aren't they? I mean, Loki, Thanos, and that guy who wears purple all the time, they're like the divas of the MCU. They're always monologuing and explaining their evil plans. It's like they're auditioning for a Shakespearean play. "To conquer or not to conquer, that is the question."

But you know what? My favorite thing about the MCU is the post-credit scenes. You know, those little teasers they give us at the end of the movie. It's like a Marvel version of "Where's Waldo?" You have to stay in your seat and squint at the screen, trying to spot the hidden gem that hints at what's coming next. It's like a reward for having a small bladder and not running to the bathroom during the movie.

So, in conclusion, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is like a roller coaster ride of action, humor, and more superheroes than you can shake a stick at. It's a world where we can escape from our mundane lives and imagine what it would be like to be something more. Plus, who doesn't love a good excuse to wear a cape? Thank you, Marvel, for bringing us together and reminding us that with great power comes great merchandising opportunities.

"Spiderman" by Potatohead

 (Verse 1)

In the city's darkest corners, where crime runs wild, A hero clad in red and blue, swinging through the night. He's got a web-slingin' power, a sense of justice strong, With great responsibility, he battles all night long.

(Chorus) Spiderman, Spiderman, the defender of the weak, Spinning webs of justice, his enemies he seeks. With a heart of steel and nerves of iron, he's a force to reckon, Spiderman, the savior of the city, he'll never be forgotten.

(Verse 2) He's got a tragic story, lost his uncle's guiding light, But he turned his pain to power, swore to set things right. With agility and speed, he scales the tallest walls, A hero born in tragedy, protecting us all.

(Chorus) Spiderman, Spiderman, the defender of the weak, Spinning webs of justice, his enemies he seeks. With a heart of steel and nerves of iron, he's a force to reckon, Spiderman, the savior of the city, he'll never be forgotten.

(Bridge) Villains beware, he's coming for you, With venomous quips and punches that ensue. He's got the power of a spider, he'll never back down, A hero in the shadows, fighting for the crown.

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus) Spiderman, Spiderman, the defender of the weak, Spinning webs of justice, his enemies he seeks. With a heart of steel and nerves of iron, he's a force to reckon, Spiderman, the savior of the city, he'll never be forgotten.

(Outro) In the city's darkest corners, where crime runs wild, Spiderman, the legend lives on, the city's guardian child. With great power comes great responsibility, Spiderman, the hero we need, for all eternity.

Wolverine and The Time Traveler

 Wolverine found himself hurtling through time and space, unsure of where he was or how he had gotten there. As his surroundings slowly came into focus, he realized that he had arrived in a strange new world.

Looking around, Wolverine saw that he was standing in the midst of a desolate, barren landscape. The sky above him was a sickly shade of green, and there was no sign of life anywhere around him.

Suddenly, he heard a strange whirring sound, and a sleek silver machine appeared before him. The door of the machine opened, and a small, wiry man stepped out.

"Welcome to the year 802,701," said the man, holding out his hand to Wolverine. "My name is the Time Traveler, and I've been expecting you."

Wolverine looked at the man suspiciously. "What are you talking about?" he asked.

The Time Traveler smiled. "I've been studying your timeline for some time now," he explained. "And I believe that your unique abilities would be of great use to me in my quest to uncover the mysteries of this strange new world."

Wolverine was intrigued. He had always been a wanderer, and the idea of exploring a new world was too tempting to resist. He climbed into the Time Machine, and the two men set off into the unknown.

Over the coming weeks, Wolverine and the Time Traveler traveled across the desolate landscape, encountering all manner of strange creatures and marvels. They discovered ancient ruins of long-forgotten civilizations, battled fearsome beasts, and even encountered a tribe of peaceful, intelligent beings who welcomed them with open arms.

As they journeyed deeper into the heart of this strange new world, Wolverine began to feel a sense of unease. There was something about this world that felt off, and he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Finally, they arrived at the Time Traveler's destination: a vast, towering structure that seemed to stretch up into the sky itself. As they approached, Wolverine could see that it was covered in strange, glowing symbols and runes.

"This is it," said the Time Traveler, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "This is what I've been searching for all these years."

Wolverine looked up at the structure, feeling a sense of foreboding wash over him. "What is it?" he asked.

The Time Traveler smiled, a look of wild enthusiasm on his face. "It's the key to unlocking the secrets of this world," he said. "The key to understanding the mysteries of time and space itself."

As he spoke, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble, and the sky above them grew dark. Suddenly, a massive, shadowy figure appeared before them, its eyes burning with an otherworldly fire.

Wolverine tensed, ready to do battle with whatever this new threat might be. But before he could make a move, the Time Traveler stepped forward, a look of mad glee on his face.

"I've found it!" he cried. "The key to unlocking the mysteries of time and space!"

And with those words, the structure before them exploded in a blinding flash of light. When the light faded, Wolverine found himself hurtling through time and space once again, unsure of where he was or how he had gotten there.

As he slowly regained his bearings, he realized that he was back in his own world once again. He had survived his journey through time and space, but he couldn't help but wonder what might have been if he had stayed a little longer in that strange, mysterious world.
