I’m hoping the MCU never sinks as low as the comics has with creating unnecessarily convoluted Hulks.

And Fëanor captured some of their light, from which made the Silmarils.

That forms the basis of the pie-in-the-sky idea that I’ve posted here and on io9 several times, and though I’ll eat my hat if something like that happens, it would be awesome. It’s why I say that Lupita Nyong’o would be by far the best realistic choice for the role.

And now I’m thinking... you’ve got Lupita RIGHT THERE.

Shuri may have become Black Panther in the comics, but MCU Shuri is (IMO) incredibly ill-suited to the role, unlike her comics counterpart.

I hope she’s alright, and also that the character she plays isn’t taking over as Black Panther.

Ah, the subjunctive mood. Would that it were more common these days. 

That all sounds great!

Wait, where’s Ed?

The laziness of the rewriting of the Collider article is spectacular even by Gizmodo standards. In some cases, it’s even the same sentence structure.

According to Collider, Daley is known for acting as Lance Sweet on the procedural series Bones. He has co-written the D&D script and is co-directing with Johnathan Smith, who is best known for writing Spider-Man: Homecoming, Horrible Bosses, and Game Night.

According to IMdb the co-director is Jonathan Goldstein: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0326246/

I heard Lindell hid next to the internet and caught the packets in a pillowcase, but then the Chinese hacked it open and the packets escaped. God damnit.

Welp, this is going to make it even harder to believe Katara would be romantically interested in little Aang. It was weird enough just conceptually when they suggested a 14/15-year-old girl would want to date a 12-year-old little boy, but when you see it in live-action... man... he’s just a little kid. He is not a…

If that were even remotely true then Abbott wouldn’t be my governor.

I’m hoping things get better from here, this was a pretty bad first episode IMO. 

Alright, I’ll say it since no one else appears to have the stones....

I didn’t love it. It was a little too quipy for my tastes, and it didn’t have the pacing of a two episode arc of a series. It felt like a 90 minute movie with every other scene cut out.

I have no intention of setting foot in a theater this year. Back in June that looked like a solid proposition, but the COVID-deniers and anti-vaxxers ruined it for the rest of us. 

I have a bad feeling that Shang Chi is fucked in the theaters. Probably would have been alright if the mouth breathers of this country didn’t let Delta get out of control.
