Haven’t seen Madame Web, but excited to see Rabin’s return to this site. 

i thought she was good on that Apple show with Jason whatsisface and Harrison Ford; actually the whole cast was pretty great

ugh, so cliche!! what next??

i think its helpful to remind ourselves that D+ shows are meant for 9 year olds to watch with their parents without said parents having to answer lots complicated questions, especially about the “real world”. At least that’s what I tell myself whenever I find a reveal or plot development disappointing. Many times…

Also Kung-Fu Hustle, where every villager was some sort of martial arts master.

sounds good. my guess is that the plan is to pull them into the regular mcu via Secret Wars, assuming the FF movie isn’t such a disaster that they have to abandon the plan.  

Does anybody really care

yes, that was decent. I did like Annihilation and Annihilation:Conquest (then to a lesser extent War of Kings and Thanos Imperative etc) but those mostly involved mini-series created to accompany the main event, and later on a couple of the cosmic books (Nova and GotG).  not really affecting Spider-Man or the FF or…

I suspect its tough to reconcile “what fans expect from a Blade movie, or vampire movies in general” with Disney’s family-friendly brand. Plus COVID, various strikes etc as mentioned in the article.

hot summer weather = take kids to air conditioned movie theater.

I miss Erol Otus’ artwork, especially the painted covers

its definitely not a series i’m up for binging, usually need some time between episodes and have to be in the right mood as its awfully dark & cynical in addition to the gore

i think its more about letting comic creators tell fun stories about the characters as they existed in that time period rather than pretending it all fits together in a coherent way. But if you want to go nuts trying to work out the continuity, that’s fine.  its not as if the films can possible be held to whatever the…

what is this, fizzbin?

yeah i enjoyed his proto-hippie character in Kelly’s Heroes quite a bit.  “quit with those negative waves, man”

“I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

he just needs that plastic cone around his head to avoid biting at his wounds lol
