I feel like I’m not being understood here. I’m not talking about what SHOULD be the situation, and I’m not defending anyone’s use of it. I’m not saying that if black people use the word that they can’t complain about white people using it. I’m talking about what IS the situation. I’m saying that the thrill of…

Seems like CK’s referencing Rock’s old bit where Rock said there were two types of black people.

They’ve had back compat on every console they’ve ever made so I like my odds

Bullshit. I, a sucker, have bought Virtual Console versions of plenty of these NES games and Nintendo continues to insist that I buy those games over and over. Now I have to pay for a subscription? For games I could easily have been pirating on my laptop, nay, on my wristwatch? Nintendo aren’t some wholesome personal…

Sure, but I’m not really bitching ABOUT you, I’m bitching TO you about something I think you’ll agree with.

Excuse you, it’s the BOMBASTIC Bag Man.

I think web browsers should include a plugin which edits all webpages from saying “white people” and “black people” to saying “white Americans” and “black Americans”. Because a lot of the “racial differences” people are talking about here simply do not exist outside America.

Never say never. Due to the contract with Netflix, Marvel can’t do anything with the show for about two years (Cox isn’t sure if it’s 2 years or 18 months but he knows there’s a timelock on it), but after that, anything could happen.

Worth noting that he didn’t sexually assault her; he made some inappropriate jokes. Jokes that perhaps he got away with with other costars in other shows because they knew him and knew he was only joking. Regardless, the settlement is not over what he did. The settlement is over her getting fired for confronting him…

No, he changed his mind and decided that peace was the final frontier.

One of those was wrong

Thing is, THAT DOESNT MATTER. You don’t market an adaptation to randomers: you market it to your core audience (in this case, comic book fans) and portray the movie as family-friendly and they can bring friends and family.

I can help with that. Ant-Man theme:

The music in the Ant-Man franchise has been good though. Also the Avengers theme itself. Plus the musical number in TFA

I agree with everything you said. Just so that I don’t end up arguing with someone I agree with, I wanna reiterate that my point, my thesis, is simply that, given how successfully other similarly “obscure” Marvel characters had already translated to the big screen - even Daredevil and Fantastic Four had been…

Please don’t ask me to look up the numbers because I remember it taking me ages last time I had to double-check this, but Iron Man comics actually outsold Batman in the late 70s and early 80s (before Frank Miller made Batman relevant again).

That’s because the movies focused on Wolverine and Xavier, almost to the exclusion of anything else. Colossus was treated like a nothing character in the Singerverse but as soon as Deadpool made him part of a very small ensemble cast (and gave him his “wholesome” personality), he suddenly became a lot more iconic.

It was in the 70s, before Wolverine started filling that role. Iron Man was used to boost sales in Iron Fist, the short-lived Beast solo comic, and others.

The rise of the triple bracket “signal” suggests that good old fashioned antisemitism is alive and well too.

Sure but in those terms, the X-Men were obscure B-and-C-listers too. They ALL got famous after their movies, but that’s just more reason to expect that the likes of Iron Man etc would do well too.
