When Anton filmed Wonder Woman, he initially hadn't considered including any ancient language.
The idea came from the highly professional production team, who suggested it as a way to enrich the movie's atmosphere.
Anton found the suggestion reliable and decided it wouldn't be too troublesome to consult a few ancient writing experts.
The final result was impressive, proving once again that teamwork is indispensable for any success—especially in film production.
The characters used in the Wonder Woman movie were likely inspired by cuneiform, one of the world's earliest recognized forms of writing, which originated in the ancient Middle East around 5,000–6,000 years ago.
Between 2000 and 3000 BCE, the Sumerians and Akkadians of Mesopotamia developed city-states with early forms of governance, including leaders, councils of elders, and legal systems.
This period coincided with the gradual evolution of cuneiform writing, which naturally transitioned into the timeline Anton set for the gods in his movie.
In the Marvel world, the timeline of cuneiform aligns with events such as Odin's battles in the Nine Realms.
When Anton adapted the Wonder Woman story, he opted to portray Zeus as the king of the gods, incorporating cuneiform writing into the movie to reflect the timeline and cultural evolution of ancient Mesopotamian civilizations.
For Coulson, who watched the movie with great attention to detail, this connection was shocking.
Realizing the similarities between the runes on the mysterious hammer he'd encountered and those on the "god-killing weapon" in the movie, he sprang into action.
Coulson led his team, armed with cameras, to a small-town cinema, determined to scrutinize the film again from beginning to end.
Fortunately, the theater was nearly empty, allowing Coulson to book the entire venue. This time, he paid close attention to every frame, refusing to overlook even the smallest detail.
When the divine weapon appeared on screen, its markings reminded him of the runes on the hammer, strengthening his suspicion that he'd stumbled upon a deeper truth.
After an entire day of watching, rewinding, and analyzing, the only concrete discovery was confirmation of a connection between the movie's mythological elements and the hammer.
The team sent images of the movie's runes to ancient writing experts, but the translation revealed nothing significant—just a collection of mythological references and generic storytelling tropes.
"Greek mythology?" Coulson muttered, frowning as he thought about the hammer that no one could lift. "Could it really be a weapon from the gods?"
The idea seemed absurd and gave him a headache. Growing up in a world of science and logic, Coulson had never believed in myths.
"Have we located the ancient writing expert who worked on the movie?" Coulson asked.
"We did," one of his agents replied, "but the expert said he only provided translations based on the crew's requirements. He doesn't know anything beyond that."
"Forget it," Coulson said, waving his hand in frustration. He concluded that if the movie contained any hidden clues, Anton—or possibly Batman, who worked behind the scenes—must have anticipated such questions long before.
"Unless we go directly to Anton, we won't get any real answers."
Coulson exhaled and focused on a phrase frequently mentioned in the movie: the weapon of killing gods.
"Could this hammer really be a god-killing weapon?" he murmured, his mind racing.
If the hammer was truly a divine weapon, did it mean that Wonder Woman, or someone like her, would appear in real life? And if Wonder Woman were to manifest, would Ares, the god of war, follow?
A more troubling thought struck him: if Ares, the god of war, did emerge, would it signal a global crisis?
In the Wonder Woman movie, Ares was portrayed as the instigator of World War I. If he appeared on Earth, could it lead to another worldwide conflict—perhaps even a Third World War?
The possibility left Coulson deeply uneasy.
The more Coulson thought about it, the more horrified he felt. His head throbbed with a splitting headache. After a moment's deliberation, he waved his hand and made a decisive call.
"Forget it. Secure the area immediately. No unauthorized entry or exit. This is bigger than we thought."
"Understood!"
With that, Coulson exited the cinema, pulled out his phone, and called his superior to report the situation. If no answers emerged, he might have no choice but to seek help from Anton.
New York.
Upon seeing the news about Thor's hammer, Anton quickly identified the timeline. This marked the lead-up to the Battle of New York, the final major event before the Avengers assembled in the original Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It was clear to Anton that the New York battle was inevitable. He held no expectation that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s version of the Avengers could prevent it.
The Avengers of the original timeline barely succeeded, and this universe's iteration—missing key members—was unlikely to fare better.
One critical loss? The Hulk. Bruce Banner, an essential figure in the original team, had been "recruited" by Anton, leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. clueless about his whereabouts.
They probably hadn't even begun to investigate where the Hulk had disappeared to.
In this version of events, the Avengers lineup consisted of Tony Stark, Steve Rogers (Captain America), Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow), and Clint Barton (Hawkeye), with Thor tentatively joining the mix.
Among them, only Steve and Tony could be considered reliable core members. Thor, while powerful, was more brute strength than strategy.
As for Natasha and Clint? Their contributions, while notable, couldn't tip the scales in a cosmic battle.
Anton smirked as an idea formed in his mind.
"After the Avengers' inevitable defeat," he mused, "there will be no chance for them to recover. The Justice League will take over the battlefield and drive the Chitauri back into the depths of space."
His Justice League roster was formidable: Batman, Cyborg, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Venom, Spider-Man, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Daredevil, and HobGoblin.
Non-core members like the Hulk, Doctor Lizard, and the Transformers also strengthened their ranks.
In terms of weaponry and resources, the Justice League's war fortress—floating in orbit—dwarfed the Chitauri's bio-ships. Even in direct combat, Anton felt confident in his team's superiority.
And this wasn't just any battle; it was home turf. The Justice League had the advantage of fighting on Earth, while the Chitauri faced a heavily fortified resistance.
Once the New York battle concluded, the Justice League would ascend to global fame, overshadowing anything the Avengers had achieved.
The influx of justice value Anton expected to gain from this event would easily surpass all prior records.
After all, this was Earth's first large-scale alien invasion—a turning point in history.
With the New York War as the catalyst, Earth would inevitably enter a new era.
