I guess it’s just my fixation with science (I think I’m being redundant saying that since we’re all on the same website), but I always assumed that secondary powers were inherent so that the primary powers could work properly. Like, Luke Cage, has super strength because how else would bullets bounce off him if he…

I’ve always thought too many heroes have “side powers” that just exist to allow them to fight normal supervillains in an exciting way. I mean, the only reason the Flash has a “Speed Force” is to explain why he doesn’t get winded or age super-fast or any of the other quibbles that come along with super speed. I think,…

Plus Avengers Annihilation wouldn’t be a secret Marvel would need to keep for 2 and a half years.

Yeah, and given that Annihilation is absolutely a story that the MCU could do, I highly doubt that’s the title.

I think the very early Spider-Man comics would mention this - Peter would get socked in the mouth (and through a brick wall), and in one of those 9 second thought bubbles think “Gosh, it’s good that I’ve become much tougher on top of just being stronger!”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an explanation of speedsters that came close to consistent.

I’d have thought some degree of body conditioning would come as a side-effect of increased strength anyway, just from the everyday stress of having super-muscles.

I’m with you on her outfit. They’ve taken an often objectified female character, doubled down on her as a POC, and what they’ve shown us so far is not reassuring at all.

Yeah, first trailer made me completely uninterested. After this one I might give it a chance.

 This trailer actually makes me excited for the show, since it shows more of the context, rather than the context-less “Fuck Batman” trailer. Plus, Teagan Croft as Raven is adorable.

I think it was Cable, he’s actually attacking the Avengers and says something along the lines of “hard to believe he becomes the greatest of us all” about Spider-Man.

But the developments in the last two episodes aren’t satisfying without the work the earlier episodes put in to set them up. Without first watching Colleen working in the community centre, negotiating with gangster wives or fighting tattoo artists, seeing her get the Iron Fist isn’t nearly as meaningful.

I will take any amounts of complication so long as I never hear the name “Marcus” associated with her ever again.

The problem Episode IX faces is the problem Star Wars faced before Force Awakens came out: the seriously commuted nerds have been mentally constructing their own Star Wars movie in the fermented nostalgia brine of their own head for 20-30 years and no actual real life film will satisfy the loosely constructed…

It seems like us men, especially us white men, have lost a lot in the last decade.

I still can’t believe they cast the most boring actress in the world to play Lois Lane. I originally really liked her character on Grimm but as they added things on to her character she somehow became the most boring character on the show.

First of all, if Supergirl, the movie, is set on the 1970s, and Wonder Woman 1984 is in the 80s, how are we supposed to believe that when Superman showed up in Man of Steel that nobody had ever seen a superpowered superhero before in the DCEU?

Dude. Ward is terrible. He’s less awful this season but the show would be better off without him.

Considering just how it went down, it seems like it could lead to an emotionally better path ahead for J. Jonah Jameson, but we’ll have to wait and see if he’s really capable of giving up one of his oldest, hardest grudges now that he knows the face behind Spider-Man’s mask.
