“I always read her as the non-neurotypical member of the Endless”

Starting off inspired by the more horror-based Swamp Thing was probably part of the reason for that.

Less extreme, but I kind of thought the same about using the prestige HBO brand name for the bit-of-everything service that HBO Max is, though.

That’s an HBO rather than an HBO Max series, so far the massive cuts have been to the latter.

(Doors of convention hall close, “Rains of Castamere” plays.)

His novel Dr. Bloodmoney featured a parasitic-twin subplot which was inspired by his sister.

There actually is a character like this from the Flash comics -- the Crime Tailor.

Possible that Thor spending time with the Guardians was intended to be more substantial when Avengers: Endgame set it up, but became not much more than lip service when it came to making this film.

On the other hand, a Wonder Twins film would have had to deal with their reputation as joke characters somehow, which is a different and sometimes worse obstacle than being an unknown character.
