Valid points, but even the MCU’s tonal standards, as well as what is acceptable within the confines of family friendly animation — including South Park, Family Guy, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Futurama and Bob’s Burgers — allow for work that is more provocative, unconventional and smarter than what I’ve seen of…

100% agree. We are definitely getting a Walker snap — beyond what he does in the comics the show is setting him up for it.  But there’s a lot of gray in the character and wouldn’t be surprised to see a Walker redemption arc, although maybe not in this particular story.

The animation is fun, but I was expecting more bite in the humor, like Rick & Morty or Harley Quinn.  It’s much more a family sitcom and fairly tame.

Accurate. I did notice John and Lamar are both smiling at the beginning of the fight, like they are on a joy ride, getting off on the idea of being heroes.

Yes, that is exactly what the government was thinking. The marketing department must have loved the fact that Walker’s oldest friend and literal brother in arms just happened to be black. Can’t get a much better endorsement of being non racist than that.

You are probably right that Walker’s self effacement is neither calculating nor narcissistic. Success is hugely important to him so the fear of not living up to expectations is genuine. And Walker, whatever his flaws may be, doesn’t seem outwardly cruel or demeaning.

Walker needs affirmation and adoration constantly. On a rewatch its obvious but initially one is sucked into the idea that he is this all-American ideal. But the details are telling a different story.

Yes, it would be weird if they listed the role as “Black Kid”, but its clever that they can use their credits as meta commentary on the theme of the episode.

What was the funniest moment for you?

Takes a lot of trust to kiss someone who has atomic breath, I just don’t think Kong and Godzilla are there yet. And really, where can it go? It would take a major feat of engineering for them to have sex.

Dr. Fate’s go to move in the comics is dying and passing the helmet and it’s curse on to someone else. So l’ll be curious to see if Brosnan survives the entire movie.

The character Carl “The Tooth” Williams is loosely based on Tyson and two boxers he fought: Carl “The Truth” Williams, where Foxx got the name, and Mitch “Blood” Green, where he got the hairstyle. His character is an amalgam of the three, probably to keep any one of those boxers from getting mad tearing Fox’s head off.

Harry doesn’t have a lot of skills other than military, sports and being a Prince,

But today, credibility and affinity are primarily built by people — individual voices — rather than brands.”

I don’t think most of the fans that wanted the Snyder Cut were Nazis. I don’t think most of the viewers also follow Geeks and Gamers on Twitter. The toxic group trying to make the conversation about this movie all about them and their ideological stances are a subset of the total audience. A loud minority that…

I don’t think Marvel is that rigid about how they spread diversity throughout their shows, they seem to want a variety of representations. And if there are any Native American characters in the MCU right now, major or minor, I’m afraid I can’t remember them.

I hope they and the studio heads that enabled these toxic assholes 

I assume McClarnon has prominent role — it would be a waste to cast him and not use him extensively.

Warner has no choice but to assert authority of its own franchises and slate of films. But I also think true fans of both these film makers — or any artist really — should be not be trying to dictate the next 3 to 10 years of their creative lives.

Echo is also Marvel’s most well known indigenous character who’s not a mutant or otherwise connected to the x-men. Wyatt Wingfoot, American Eagle (a favorite of mine), Red Wolf and Puma have all been around longer but don’t show up in Marvel’s current comics very often, and Echo’s affiliation with Daredevil has given…
