What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

The Incredible Hulk (2008): 2 lines

  1. lineage (lineage) · through The Avengers (2012), which they acted in: The Incredible Hulk ⇒ The Avengers (the host's read). Avengers' line about Hulk 'breaking Harlem' is false: the Abomination did it.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017): 4 lines

  1. craft (craft) · through Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), which they acted in: Guardians of the Galaxy ⇒ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (the host's read). Vol. 2 used a brightly blue Yondu and a bright Milano interior to dodge the washed-out look of the first film's color grading.

  3. lineage (lineage) · through Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), which they acted in: Guardians of the Galaxy ⇒ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (the host's read). The sequel doubles down on Yondu's arrow by building its best action sequence around it.

  3. craft (craft) · through Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), which they acted in: Guardians of the Galaxy ⇒ Captain Marvel (the host's read). The Flarkin cat in Captain Marvel is a version of the Drax metaphor joke, but this film's joke lands better thanks to the cut to his face.

Iron Man 3 (2013): 2 lines

  1. theme (theme) · through The Avengers (2012), which they acted in: The Avengers ⇒ Iron Man 3 (the host's read). Stark's arc across three Iron Man films peaks in Iron Man 3, and Avengers lays the track for its PTSD.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015): 1 line

  1. contrast (contrast) · through The Avengers (2012), which they acted in: The Avengers ⇒ Avengers: Age of Ultron (the host's read). Age of Ultron opens with the team already together and Fury in hiding, so it is a sequel to five films rather than to Avengers.
