They don't have the same agreement that Fox has for Fantastic Four and the X-Men. All the film rights were sold individually and at different times, so they're all different and weird. Like for example Universal also has the Namor rights, they've had them for like 25 years, and they've never made a single film.

The one constant in superhero movies however is that audiences are apparently terrified to learn that there's been more than one Captain America, Superman, Batman, etc. Spider Man is the biggest offender of course, we could have had Ben Reilly, Miles Morales, and Spider-Gwen movies by now but audiences will faint,…

They can use him in movies, but Universal gets distro rights on solo Hulk films.

Yeah, maybe through in a Pym or a Van Dyne and Black Knight and I think that's a classic lineup.

Avengers Four: Electric Boars Galore.

The natural confluence between overcomplicated and superheroes in RPGs is probably Champions, but DC Heroes is a strong contender. Not sure why there's so much call for insanely fiddly numbers when everyone's gonna play as a Hulk or whatever.

That game lived and died on random roll tables. If it didn't have the tables, it would have needed about 15 powers, instead of the 250 or whatever it actually had. No one was rushing in to voluntarily select some of the weird nonsense in the Ultimate Powers guide (for clarification, the Ultimate Powers guide is one…

Honestly I like that as a gag. Whole issue is a massive battle on the roof of the tower, there's portals opening up, monsters popping out, windows exploding, and every 10 panels or so we check in with Dr. Druid, currently hovering past the 4th floor, checking his watch.

Huh, shoulda considered a career as Dr. Window-Washer. Given the lack of need for menhirs these days, it might have paid better than getting a doctorate in druidism.

Marvel FASERIP was a lot of things, but comprehensive with all the numbers wasn't quite one of them.

Things I learned from reading old RPG books: Dr. Druid has the power of levitation at the rank of Feeble.

You're in luck! He just recurred!

The amount of shows that are just "We describe a tv show episode by episode" is insane. There's like five choices for TNG alone. Mostly it's something comedians do for an easy framework.

Hi Morpheus. I express desire for a Marvel movie! How do you find the weather to be today?

I assume Warren Beatty is doing the same thing as we speak. Watch for the long-awaited return of Dick Tracy in 2026.

Wow really? Man, I am not a good audience for commercials.

"Mm-hmm" *licks finger, flicks page of Zero G Jugs*

Anyone else seen that Universal Studios commercial where the park is basically forced to pretend that the visiting audience will care about a Pandora-themed area? The commercial's all "You can take flight on a Banshee" and I'm like "A what now? You're going to have to be more specific since like five Halo games have…

Yeah, I lost a spot in line at a clinic once because I couldn't sit in there where a loud gameshow hosted by Guy Fieri (nothing to do with food) was on TV.
