What Riverdale has done to Archie would be like if they turned Saved by the Bell into a gritty teen drama (like The OC, or Euphoria, or Skins). MTV actually did this to Teen Wolf a few years ago.

I love Marvel and DC but in order for American comics to truly grow and compete with the likes of manga, we need more creator-owned works.

He also killed off Betty Ross solely because he was going through a divorce and she happened to be his then-wife’s favorite character.

Good. He’s not working for a cultural-appropriating editor-in-chief, and America needs a lot more creator-owned comics anyway.

I assumed he had gotten fired. What the actual fuck.

we need to invite the bigot, Peter David

Kraven kills and eats Spider-Man

I will note that a zombie story where everything looks hopeful but has the rug pulled out at the last moment is very on brand with the genre.

Yeah, the MCU just doesn’t have as big and wacky a world as the comics (not it’s fault but still). I’d love to see them go outside the MCU (like What-If episodes about Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man), but I know that won’t happen. Even though Tobey’s Spidey has more going for him in terms of pivotal events. Holland’s Spidey…

I still think being betrayed by Stane wasn’t enough to change him and his view on the world like actually being captured by terrorists did, and by the time he found about Killmonger it was too late.

Personally I feel it’s not all doom and gloom. I’d say the overall tone so far has been bittersweet. Some endings are happier than other.

The sad thing about Killmonger, as this episode shows, is that by the time we first see him he’s already too far gone. Like, even in a world where he could actually be a hero, it’s already too late for him.

What episode did you watch?

Remember this is a Tony Stark who never became Iron Man. So he’s not constantly building new suits and not constantly paranoid.

She might be fine with Secret of Nimh (I was fine watching it as a kid), but Watership Down...yeah, you might wanna wait till she’s a little older for that.

Yeah, the Secret of Nimh film is a really great fantasy adventure...but it’s not the book. From what I’ve seen of it, the book is more akin to something like Watership Down (A story that, aside from talking animals, is fairly grounded and realistic, aside from a few vaguely fantastic elements).

We love our family shows, they’re iconic, but we’re looking to go beyond family and start to explore things that are more dramatic

It seems like that’s all Marvel comics are now. Just mega events.

Mephisto’s star seems to have risen lately. 

Well, Marvel doesn’t want to acknowledge Agents of Shield even exists so...
