The rather ironic thing about your comment is so many Americans on the internet love accusing Japan of not teaching the darker parts of their history. It’s almost like no one, regardless of nationality, wants to make children sad by informing them of the shameful parts of their nation’s history . Well, everyone except…

I cackled when Rogue tossed away Captain America’s shield into the mountains. Just beautiful.

There are actually some weird gaps in Funko Pops. There’s no Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy pops, for instance, from any version of the franchise. (Meanwhile, we have black light versions of the Stranger Things kids.)

100% this. The Stranger Things kids are assigning D&D names to otherwordly things they’re encountering to try to make sense of them — there should be no expectation that the creatures called demogorgons in the Netflix series are the same as the singular demon god Demogorgon in D&D.

Yeah which is why Holland didn’t voice him in what-If. (Disney use your money to buy back the rights from the people who forced Madam Web on us!)

Spidey had a decent sized role in the zombie episode, but it does seem odd that they haven’t brought him back for any other What If episodes.

on the other hand, i would KILL for a Spider-Man 99 series with this same style and tone and music and animation.  That 90s Spider-Man show did not age well (unlike the 90s XMen show) and got really bad by season 5 but if they can get these writers and animators, people who care, then a season 6/Spider-Man 99 would be…

Right there. What I would like is a Marvel team up anthology show showcasing the 90s animated incarnations. (which was essentially half of the spidey show) 

Right but every Spidey solo animated show since 2012 has been Disney produced. What if is tricky since there is probably a whole rights thing making alternate what ifs based off the solo Holland spidey movies. 

i believe Marvel has all the rights for animation so they can kind of do whatever they want. its how they’re able to make that upcoming Spider-Man cartoon thats been in production since like 2021. its the film rights that are all fucky.

Disney has the animation rights to everyone save for movie length stories featuring Spider-Man characters.

Get the Navy in on it, honestly. Obviously there is a gulf of difference between operating a commercial nuclear facility and shipbound reactor but the US Navy operates more nuclear reactors (and more safely) than any organization in the world. There is a model there for safe institutional knowledge and training to…

Until some massive breakthrough in energy production is developed, nuclear energy is our only viable way forward.

I haven’t seen Ozark, but I liked her when she was a little younger in The Americans.

Oh god, stop whining about everything being woke. The Silver Surfer is a naked silver alien who zips around the galaxy on a surfboard and is never drawn hanging dong. Swapping-out Norrin Radd for a female character of his species is not the end of the world. The majority of people complaining about this casting don’t…

He apparently gave her the Power Cosmic back in 2015, although she wasn’t ever a herald of Galactus.

It’s not like Norrin Radd is such an interesting character that he can’t be swapped out for Shalla-Bal instead.

You might have caught in the above story that she is ONE of the Silver Surfers. This is in comics lore but maybe you don’t read comics because they’ve been about DEI since Stan Lee created the Black Panther.

Comic book incels meltdown in 3... 2...

It’s not a good movie, but I feel like the hatred for it is all out of proportion with the historical realities. At the time of its development and production, Mario and his world had only ever been depicted in-game as low-res 2D sprites. Any live-action, big-budget cinematic adaptation was going to take massive…

I think “we have to make it look exactly like it looks in the videogame or w/e” is the wrong lesson to learn from this. Rather they should make the CG thing look like something I want to continue looking at for like “most of a movie” rather than some nightmare creature I want to look away from. But that’s something…
