Marvel hid a message in binary — here's how to decode it by hand in 10 seconds

Marvel Studios posted a wall of 1s and 0s hiding a message from Wanda. aakashgupta shows how to crack most of it in 10 seconds without a computer: letters are groups of 8 digits; the space 00100000 appears 10 times, so the message is 11 words long; the first group starts with 010 while all others start with 011 — that single bit separates capital from lowercase, so it's one sentence with one capital.
That's deliberate 1960s ASCII design: each lowercase letter sits exactly 32 spots after its capital (W=87, w=119, differing by one bit). The decoded message: "We could never truly leave each other, even if we tried."
