“MORE GEEKNESS IN NEW WINGS!!!

“while Sunfire hasn’t really been part of the team since the early ‘70s, shortly after his debut”

Close, but not quite. In his debut, he was a villain in the last year or so of the original run in 1970. Then there was a 5 year long run of reprints in the early/mid-70's and, then in 1975, he became an X-man for two…

Are you referring to the story that Soljer (SLSH #210) being colored as white (rather literally) rather then black, as Grell intended?

I thought that Gunn signed on to Suicide Squad after Disney dropped him from GotG 3 and, by the time they changed their minds, he was already committed.

I dunno, man.

Any movie that has freaking Javelin in it could quite possibly have Milton Fine. And, FWIW, I don’t recall any other telepath in the line-up(s) off-hand, so he would actually fill a slot.

(Hit “Publish” this time, Hal.)

In the comics, it was actually green.

I think it’s a clever cut. In the Silver Age, Kara was trying to “find a cure for Green K poisoning” (which they did a lot back then) and failed. But the golf ball/marble-sized piece of Green K she was using (it changed) was found by Streaky, the cat…

In comics, green.

“she would not even know he did it.”

Dude...

“Any good Lawyer can get Wanda free, based solely on temporary insanity.”

It would seem reasonable that Agnes/Agatha wasn’t the only one drawn to the Chaos Magic. The Dottie reveal could be a tag (like Thanos was).

You’re right - I meant to say she could have pivoted her academic course pre-snap. But to do that and finish a PhD seems like a whole lot (for purposes of this story, general character building and, frankly, any excuse to include Kat Demming, I support it). Certainly more than hearing the Infinity War story sometime…

“Darcy is way too aware of the specifics of Vision’s death in Avengers: Infinity War.”

Another consideration - if Westfield is all Wanda, then she is off the board as a character. If she did Westfield, then SWORD is absolutely right to kill her as she would be irredeemably a villain in the MCU (and, I guess, it is possible that her appearance in “Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” is as the…

The shark (Mephisto, Nightmare, whomever) is also Dottie.

Dottie when they were trying to control Wanda, Pietro (someone she trusts) when they’re trying to get more information from her.

Also, my rule of mystery TV or movies: if you haven’t met the bad guy half-way through the story, you’re already met the bad guy.  You…

“I don’t think the woman completely under the thrall of a powerful evil man needing to be saved is that much less a sexist trope than the emotional woman too dangerous to have powers.”

“it’s an analogy, not literal”

And the analogy was that overexposed film, from too much visible light (i.e. photons), produces brighter images when printed.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that either of those examples are in anyway less or equally problematic than “Grease.” They’re definitely much, much worse (and “classic” is definitely only an opinion).

I think part of what made this stick in my brain was the use of the word “slut,” which, while not generally shocking to me, was language that seemed to be out of character for Mad.

Very possible, though we never saw them watching TV once and, if they did, and that would be a LOT of sitcoms, it could be the case. But, primarily, I WANT it to be someone else.

Plus the fact that the MCU (including Agents of SHIELD) goes through so, so many bad guys that get positions of leadership that is feels like you should just immediately arrest anyone that gets a promotion above field grunt. They have some seriously bad hiring and vetting processes.
