Comic characters AOS could introduce without worrying about stepping on the films' toes:

If Andrew Garfield isn't on board for the 4th Spider-Man movie, they should really just bring in Miles Morales instead of trying to re-cast Peter Parker.

I'm what you would call a mental completist. It's not enough to just watch/read/listen to the good stuff; I have to watch/read/listen to all of it, because otherwise I might miss some obscure in-joke. I'm not as bad about that as I used to be, but it can make starting a new book series/game series/TV series/comic book…

I get the vibe that they are doing it for fun...and they take that very seriously. I can get behind that.

The beauty of a Group of Death is that nobody is in for a cake-walk.

I really hope the Ghana curse is limited specifically to Bob Bradley, and does not travel through bloodlines.

I could live with this. I'm excited to see how this progresses!
