Do you mean Nova? Or The Marvels? Because the Marvels is a very, very small Corps in comparison to the GLs. And not even the same powers.

Re: the High Evolutionary’s outfit.

Yeah, way, way too Kang-like. Going with the red & white color scheme would have been a better move, to distinguish the two.

But, otherwise, this looks solid.

And I actually feel Linda’s conjectures make sense.

That’s exactly it. Plus “New Gamora” is from the past, pretty much the very beginning of the first GoG film, before the scene where she met Quill.

That is NOT going to happen. Wallace said (in your own article), he wanted to wrap up Legends, but “When we found out we only have 13 episodes, that was no longer possible.”

Heh. I was actually thinking of how Freddy*, in the ‘40s, was always drawn hunched over his “Tiny Tim” cane until he changed, but...

Sure. Also, btw, the Shazam movie is an almost note-for-note adaptation/translation of the first story of the Johns run.

The idea was, I believe, that the Marvel/Shazam forms are the what the kids would look like “grown-up.” As such, it may be that they decided that Mary was now an adult (arbitrary age on a document notwithstanding) and that was no longer a needed part of the transformation. I couldn’t image that with a cast that big, a…

I’m not really seeing how RRR is, in any way, in the io9 wheelhouse. Under the “culture” rubric of the larger Gizmodo? In that case, the cultural discussion is about the blatant Hindu nationalist propaganda more than the soundtrack. That laswt number? Um, okay...

I think it’s two parallel scars on each side of his face.

His mask in the comics has two lines on it which I think was the inspiration for that look. Also, it kind of differentiates him from He Who Remains.

Wrong. I love Wonder Man and he has been one of my favorite Avengers since the issue he was raised from the dead (the first time - the George Perez issue. Oh, wait, he came back from the dead TWICE in George Peres stories.  The first time. In the 70's. It made absolutely no sense, but I didn’t care).

The thing makes makes me doubt Harper’s casting as Reed Richards is that the part would be far too much like Chidi. He has a broad range as an actor. Playing the super-smart guy again feels pretty reductive.

Given the evidence we’ve seen in other parts of the MCU of the build-up of the Young Avengers, continuing with ho…

So what are the stats on posting videos instead of writing? Since folks a) read faster than you talk b) can’t play your videos in the office or on buses or trains without being massive assholes? Is it really worth it?

And really, why can’t there be two copies? In fact, Dr. Strange 2 as much as said so. The book Wanda had was just a transcription of the carvings in Wundagore. “Yeah, we wrote it down twice.” Done.

With one small exception. The writers ultimately did right by Duncan (Aaron Ashmore), who they treated pretty badly in Season 1 (and the first half of Season 2, to be honest). He was treated even worse in the original comics, as trend of really bad homophobia in the series overall. It was a painful read. So, at least…

She-Hulk was introduced in the 70s, before any suicide storylines. FWIW. Bruce definitely wrestled with giving Jen the transfusion (for a panel or two), but his own angst hadn’t reached, “I’d rather be dead” yet. He definitely wasn’t willing to kill himself yet. The Comics Code probably would have had a fit, if…

“she’s been building and creating new hosts based off her own code”

She had six cores when she left the island, plus her own. She could be making a wide variety of hosts using combinations of those code bases, not just her own.

“The Temperance movement had succeeded in getting alcohol banned in the US”

“As for the rebel girl with Bernard being Caleb daughter’s, if it’s true, they picked an actress that absolutely doesn’t pass as an old version of the actress playing little Frankie. At all...”

That was the only reason I figured they WEREN’T the same person - C is much lighter skinned than Frankie.

“Finally, I still bet…

Fair enough, but I just thought of an additional indicator that Zoe knows. She flinched when Damage Control ID’d “Night Light” as South Asian. The bangle (really more a wrist cuff - bangles are different) was not that obvious.

This was an amazing episode where the powers/Marvel parts were actually the least compelling. All the other facets of the kids’ personalities and Pakistani-American life were easily the best elements of the show.

The focus on the Partition is huge and the kind of presence that is in South Asian culture is long overdue.
