Oh that’s Arya Stark? I watched the trailer yesterday and had no idea who that was supposed to be. Assumed it was from some obscure WB property I didn’t know.

“It looks like a studio that is DESPERATE to make a WB universe happen” Wasn’t that LITERALLY the plot of Space Jam 2?

I’m guessing no alternate Arya costume based on THAT night with Gendry

Child: “Arya Stark is my favorite! I wanna watch her show!”
Parent: “Well, I don’t see why not. She’s in a game with Bugs Bunny for cryin’ out loud.”
(many many hours later)
Child: “There is no god. All is cruelty, suffering, hate, betrayal and meaningless...” 

Hey now, that’s entirely unfair!

“Free to play,” meaning, it’s gonna be a shitty cash grab with microtransations out the wazoo.

That last exchange ripped my still beating heart out of my chest, patted it gently, reassured it that everything would be all right, and then carefully put it back where it came from.

I’m disappointed that at no point did Bugs look at the camera and say “Of course, you know, this means war.”

And if the Darkhold was corrupting her here, the film really didn’t commit to that idea.

Just wait till he teams up with Spider-Eastman to create the Teenage Mutant Spider-Turtles.

And yet. First time the MCU has done this with a woman. At least the fourth time the MCU has done this with a man.

I really want a Spider-Verse game but one where you get to make your *own* spider, like really go wild with the costume options, and hang out with other, more famous spiders. Shit, they could even lean into the RPG of it all and have you select dialogue and customize your quips and attitude and quip frequency. Make it…

I cant understand why people (its the 2nd article like this on the site) keep pushing this idea that the movie is pushing Wanda as a “woman who got corrupted by power”…. she was corrupted by the book the quite literally (and explicitly told many times in the movie) corrupts EVERYONE who reads it, including multiple Dr…

I’m always surprised by the read that Wanda felt sorry for Westview. iirc her apology at the end of the series is super half-hearted. It’s more like she’s sad that she was caught and she’s unsettled by the revelation that she’s a scarlet witch. And yeah, in the post-credits she puts on the appearance of living a quiet…

I will say tho, since Wanda’s development has been happening since Age of Ultron, her final descent into evil makes a lot more sense than the half-assed and rushed Dark Phoenix stories we’ve been getting in the X-movies.

The fact is Scarlet Witch’s heel turn is arguably her most famous arc. Same with Jean Greys Dark Phoenix. And its a trope as old as time (for both sexes...absolute power corrupts...but it is highlighted more for women i will concede). What else would you have them do? Is that a cop out...maybe. But there really is no…

That is more than I have for her. There was never a time where she didn’t know she was hurting everyone. We see her purposefully enslave a SWORD agent in episode 2. By halfway through she knows for a fact that she is intentionally enslaving and torturing these people and she still does it anyway.

MoM basically erased all that character development because “Wanda’s grief was amplified and turned to ‘madness’ by her exposure to the The Darkhold.”

thats what i dont get about all these people trying to defend Wanda. yeah she was dealt a bad hand, but shes also been doing some pretty heinous stuff since Endgame.

Wanda’s grief was amplified and turned to ‘madness’ by her exposure to the The Darkhold, just like we saw how The Darkhold turned an other universe Stephen Strange. I thought the movie it that very obvious.
