"remarkably inoffensive" Can't wait to see that in the advertising for this film!

It's not that they are dark and grim, or that Marvel movies are light and funny. I don't think anyone thought Civil War or Winter Soldier were light-hearted romps. Differentiation of tone is great, but under all the gimmicks you need a good story. I don't think WB or Fox is really trying to build a story, are just…

I did have a love of this particular series, though I do have a love of the strait faced parody as well. I really do wonder how a show like this might have carried on through 9/11 and seeing them step into complexity and depth would have been a really great bit of growth.

I remember that night, it all seemed in good fun. Goodness I'm old.

Ahh yes, when I was a kid I thought it was kind of cool that Superman looked like Reed Richards, and yes their are only some limited body styles offered in most comic drawing guides. But one imagines that as a professional artist, you might want to take an extension course at some point to note the subtle differences…

To be fair, Cap isn't a Nazi in this, he is Hydra, and that distinction might be of note. To do a bit of a deep dive, if they follow along some recently established MCU Ideas (that Hydra in fact predates the Nazis) and the Hickman SHIELD idea (suggesting that SHIELD also is a centuries old organization) they may tie…

Well they can always get Rebecca Romain Stamos O'Connell to reprise the role!

To be fair I've always felt the scene which is insanely graphic, needs to be perceived as a comment on the emotional feeling that the character is going through. The scene in essence makes visually real the attitude that society places on the process of menstruation. Given the way the world treats it (and really when…

Aww, it wasn't all that bad. Well, o.k. it was, but in truth, I think it suffers from how horrified we are by the idea of women in general. A Gross out comedy is a hard sell from the start, but to suggest that women might be gross, and more horrifically gross about woman things, things that dare not speak there…

Someone had pointed out that AIDA is the acronym for Tom Thumb's (super genius from the Squadron Supreme world) Artificially intelligent computer. It makes me wonder given the Radcliffe ADAM connection if we might see some manufactured Super Humans next season. We can't have avengers, but how hard would it be to…

To be fair to Phil he had gone a little insane when he was (in his mind) the last man on earth. And for what it's worth, we can likely imagine everyone else went their own kind of crazy in that time too. As everyone gets back to society and human interaction, it stands to reason that being less crazy would be a part…

Maybe I'm just a cockeyed optimist, but I have to think that as we don't bury Mike, we can't say for certain that he is dead. For numerous reasons, (a weakened virus, his prolonged exposure to cosmic radiation, or some other factor) Mike might pull through for a big end of season three reveal.

To be fair, Leonard's father isn't rarely seen, he's never been seen. This is Hirsch's first outing as the character. Really, I've always felt that Leonard's family dynamic needs far more activity then we've ever given it. We've met Raj's Sister, we've met Sheldon's sister, but we've never met any of Leonard's…

I am kind of shocked by this, and I wonder if this is maybe the culmination of the difficulty between the TV and Cinematic worlds. The fact that Fiege and the movies are out from under Perlmutter, and the TV shows are still stuck there. I wonder if Disney might use this as an excuse to bring the worlds more inline,…

I can understand why neither Coulson nor Talbott were that interested in discussing the Accords. In short, they both know where they are. They are in a covert off the books facility dedicated to secretly keeping the world safe. To Borrow from the current Thunderbolts book, Coulson's team is the team on the wall,…

the New Nighthawk will be based in Chicago. There are official teams still left over from the 50 state initiative. But you know, New York is the big leagues for both Heroes and Villains. Sure you can go set yourself up as the crime king of East Detroit, but you'll always wonder if you could have made a go in the…

I believe you may be conflating, it has been a while, but the primary impetus for John Walker getting the Shield was Steve Roger's refusal to enforce the Mutant Registration act. This was all revealed to be a part of a larger plot by Dell Rusk (The Red Skull) to humiliate Steve Rogers and defeat him.

Marvel brands their shows, to differentiate not jsut from Non-Marvel content, but from non-MCU content. It's all about selling toys, t-shirts, and breakfast cereal, and you don't want some knock off X-man O's being seen as the equivalent to Civil War Flakes.

I have to say Daisy's blood is a bit of a Canard, since as she has already gone through Teragenisis her blood like any other inhuman is no longer viable to create inhumans from the Kree blood source. They would need someone who has been exposed to the Kree serum, but not gone through Teragensis, at the moment the…

Ehe, these are both back pocket shows, and always have been. They are there to build back story for a connected universe and sell t-shirts. They have highly loyal fan bases, and a strong market beyond the actual ratings. The cross casting of Atwell is a problem (sort of how Blind Spot is killing our Sif love at the…
