i dunno, other than Loki all the shows so far have been very lackluster.

Really starting to wonder, what with the levels of excitement and entertainment the tv shows are generating, vs the more muted reception to the theatrical releases we’re seeing in the same timeframe, if Marvel’s 10-15 year plans are going to start tilting towards reformatting/reworking certain key stops in their…

I was gonna add a graf or two about that specifically, and then I realized maybe this could be the one post on io9 I make today that isn’t minimum 750 words.

1) I don’t know that I agree with the ratio there, LOL.

Similarly there seems to be a certain type of Marvel-watcher who sits through each movie ONLY watching for the Bigger Universe stuff and End Credits scenes, and then highlights those moments as examples of how the movie was just “promo for what’s coming next”.

Question that only just now occurred to me:

I appreciate you, Gokart. :) 

Ed sucks.

And I love Martinet as Mario.... When he’s only speaking one line or yelp at a time every 10 seconds or so in a game. A 110-minute movie with actual conversational dialogue with that voice would be audio water torture to me.

It reminds me of the old Eltingville Club strip by Evan Dorkin

I think the real interesting question re: Marvel’s hold on even pandemic-level box-office will be Spider-Man.

Even if this movie does flop both critically and financially (and again - the box-office aspect is likely considering we’re still pandemic-affected, and even Shang-Chi hasn’t broken even yet) it won’t really matter overall. Marvel’s got the next 15 years plotted out (Young Avengers! X-Men! X-Men vs Avengers! Everyone…

I’m hoping it’s GameCube but I don’t think it’s likely. GBC/GBA is probably what’s going to happen

Man, I’m just asking a question.

Chris Evans didn’t phrase that very well. The key thing to note is that he’s not playing a toy. He’s playing a person. The person who inspired the toy. The person isn’t real. He’s a fictional character. (which the article takes care to point out)

so it’s set in the “real” world of Toy Story?

Huh. Well, I guess that’s that, then

It’s not even the low orchestral hits I’d be looking forward to (although they’d definitely be there)

See, now all I want is for Part Two to end with “Weapon of Choice” as the closing credits.

LOL, he added two more grafs and another misspelling.
