Who's gonna be in NYC in July? It's been all over the news, thanks to our tireless marketing department, but if you've been living under a rock or off-planet, I'll be announcing a prototype non-weaponizable reactor, nicknamed Safe Arc (no numbers yet, but it'll definitely have improvements) on July 1st. There's gonna be a big fancy gala, so remember to suit up.

And of course there's the UN Assembly happening on July 3rd, and all member nations are expected to debate on… you know, I can't recall what they're meeting about, but I don't think that'll be relevant, it's just too good of a target not to get hit.

Lots of fun things happening in the city around Independence Day.

There's even this big children's choir thing in the city, something like five hundred thousand school children from a culturally diverse set of backgrounds, and they're all going to sing the national anthem on the 4th. Another soft target there, plenty of potential casualties and a real opportunity for the city's homeless population to step up and save a handful of children from precarious ledges and such. Whoo!

Seems like perfect time to get together, knowwhatimean? Someone's definitely gonna drop in on these perfectly-scheduled festivities, so let's do what we do best?

Pillow fight!

Did everyone see the video of Thor getting pummeled by Banner on that gladiator planet? I sent it out last week. And yesterday. And here it is again, for your viewing pleasure. Now there's a dude who can take a pillow to the face!

[Editor's note: video removed by Fox. But it had the Hulk jumping up into the air on that gladiator planet and then punching Thor in the face as he landed. And then Thor wakes up in the hospital bed, like he just took a nap and not a nuke to the face.]

So anyway, I'm thinking we can organize more of that, push each other around a bit, topple some empty buildings - no worries, I've bought up every major under-construction building in Manhattan, lots of space to play! - and overall just have a good ol fashioned annual pillow fight.

Thor brought this up earlier, and I know some of you have been hinting at this, so: we're sending Dr Strange to pick up the shawarma. Two birds, one wizard: he gets the shwarma from 19th century Turkey (very authentic!), and no spoilsport around. Anyone get in a pillow fight with that guy? He cheats, teleports you into a pillow factory or some such, really cuts the fighting time down with that “I'll fix things in four seconds” nonsense. We're here to have fun, not save the day in the quickest, most boring way possible!

See you all soon, Avengers FTW and all that.

PS: I've developed a new suit that's like eighty times stronger than the Hulkbuster, can't wait to try it out. Obviously it's just as non-lethal, like a mattress-sized pillow, but… you know, it punches things better. And this new paint job is sick!
