Feedback on comments and box size

This is an excellent app. I found it via a comicbook.com article. First two minor technical comments:

  • The text box at the bottom is too small for me on Chrome.
  • The top of Black Widow's head is showing at the bottom after she dies. I'm not sure if that was intentional.

Also, two significant comments on the interpretation boxes:

  1. The comments say that timelines are "messed up" if they don't have the Snap or otherwise differ from the original. I think that's holdover thinking from non-branching time travel, where the heroes have to try to keep history as written to prevent paradox. In explicitly branching, there's no mandate that they have to keep things the same as in the original timeline.
  2. The comments say that it is a plot hole that characters can jump between alternate realities, but I think it's an inherent feature. For example, we accept that Cap could return to his original reality through the machine. If so, then it should be possible for him to return by other means. If his suit was destroyed some time during his 70 years in the other reality, for example, he'd need an alternate way to return.

I have an essay discussing implications here:

The black widow was intentional. And it's not just her head, her entire icon is visible, just flattened. Because I have a morbid sense of humor.

As for the text box, I limited it to 2 lines, so it wouldn't take up the whole screen on landscape-fullscreen mode. I will designated this issue as a reminder for me to remove that limit when in other view modes.
