He wasn't even a murderous homophobe!

On his fucking tombstone it goes

That's a pretty good headline.

I meant by the logic that they were in a bunch of 1960s comics and Marvel keeps putting them in books for some reason.

Look, some viewer somewhere has an emotional attachment to every character, however minor. I'm not knocking yours. But to be honest, I'm still kind of stuck on your opinion that this show knew where it was going during Season 1, not something I see claimed by many defenders of the show, or of any show, for that matter.

If you're having trouble understanding, here's one good way for you to tell if a quickly-killed-off character is "key" to a show like X-Files or Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: if the actor is available, they don't stay dead.

Because it makes her equivalent to a bunch of insignificant early-season X-Files characters, whose deaths were also "key events" for a couple episodes before the show realized where it wanted to go.

She was in four episodes in the first season. They killed her off much more quickly than they did in the books, for that matter.

I enjoy the New Gods, but they are not an easy sell to the public beyond Darkseid as a Superman/Justice League villain who can convincingly stay in a standing position for a few minutes while fighting the heroes. They weren't even easy to sell when they were introduced, and DC pitched them as "the newest craze by the…

Bendis and Friends' approach to "we need more noteworthy female characters" was to create one noteworthy female character, then copy and paste her a few times, then add glasses, different hair, etc. Remember Norman Osborn's Maria Hill, Victoria Hand? Yeah, even Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. forgot about her.

I'm not sure, because I don't read the Inhumans comic.

And they probably should, considering how much more successful she's been recently than the entire rest of the Inhumans lineup has been in some fifty years of comic book sales.

Like all rides, this one will never end…

Could be worse; Asgard ended up in Oklahoma once.

I have always wondered if Marvel movies could use more quadruple identities and facial de-gloving.

It would also be next to impossible to translate his most entertaining stories to a Disney movie, because they're pretty fucked up even for Marvel comics in the current era.

Considering it was scheduled years in the future already and hadn't even begun pre-production, the odds don't sound promising. It was always a hard sell to replace mutants with Inhumans to dodge Fox's movie rights to the X-Men, which was the gambit here, and at this point Ant-Man 3 seems like a safer bet for Disney's…

By this logic, Willie Lumpkin gets a movie.

But it’s still a little strange to hear that it no longer has a formal place on the studio’s master plan,

Much like your sense of nuance, they were never there to begin with
