"They want to make all of the characters exactly like they are in the movies."

Man, if people aren't reading Thor right now, they're missing out. Lotsa fun, and beautiful art.

"I have no problem with having a comic book character coming out when it makes sense for the character based on their history."

The only legacy character that I'd say is more entrenched than Carol Danvers was Wally West.

This is correct.

There's also a few asexual ball-busting tank-women.

Anyway, this is a pretty weird complaint. "I need my super-hero movies that aren't really about sex to have more sex in them!"

" It got lost in the midst of all that Miller got right with the series, but the return of Karen, during his tenure on the book, really displayed his grim-and-gritty misogyny at its worst. Karen comes back to Hell's Kitchen an unwilling porn star and a junkie, who sells out Matt's secrets to Fisk all too easily."

And almost every Star Lord/Gamora scene in GOTG…

"50 movies and 200 episodes "

Wesley and Gary from Veep would have a lot to talk about.

"it just so happens that their personalities jibe perfectly with the house style anyway"

Part of that, though, is that none of the MCU properties really require tones as different as Superman and Batman. But let's be clear, when we're talking about the DCCU, all we're talking about is Superman and Batman right now.

In fact, I've heard (though I'd have no way of knowing this) that bringing in a movie on time, on budget, and drama-free can count more than the final box office take.

Who's being cynical? Smooshing your action figures together is a goddamn joyous experience, and I won't break bread with whatever small fraction of a man disagrees. My favorite super-hero movie is Avengers, and it's nothing but 2 hours of Joss Whedon shaking up his toy box.

OTOH, it's a movie with the basic premise of "What if my two action figures fought?"

Yeah, but then there's that other guy in the title…

In fact, I don't think Matt- or Foggy, for that matter- even know Foggy's working for the Kingpin. By the time they find that out, Matt's back on his feet, Ben's story has been published, Karen is clean, etc.

This was a pretty big disappointment for me. All of the "jokes" in Louis' plot were just inorganic plot swerves, and the Mighty Ducks reference was stomped on too hard. Jessica's story dipped too far into the "Tiger Mom" stereotype, which they've usually managed to just pull back from.

It's a little extra-tricky here, though; for one thing, you're dealing with Marvel super-heroes, where the romance is second only to the punchy-kicky; making one of the more major characters gay is a pretty heavy swerve away from the source material. Which isn't to say it shouldn't be done, or it couldn't make for a…
