Yes! The box art variously shows the Watcher with a blue, yellow, and red eye lens.

Point #1 about the farts is pretty damn ableist. Some people are more flatulent, and that often - not always, but often - relates to a disability. Having to smell someone else’s fart is unpleasant, sure, but can’t you be a bit more charitable and assume they’re trying their best? I’m sure they feel plenty embarrassed…

I could understand the point if we were talking about deadlift, but cleans and snatch? Do you do Olympic weightlifting at all? I’m no great shake at it, but I can easily lift twice in a clean and jerk what I could shoulder press. There is no safe way for me to do the negative rep on that - it has to be dropped, and it…

I'm surprised too at any revelation that Kang and Mr Fantastic aren't blood relatives - the plot of the very-recent 60th Anniversary Fantastic Four comic hinged on their genetic similarity and shared relation of Reed's father. 

It’s out in the UK tomorrow so I’m off to the cinema in the early evening to catch it... Desperately hoping that there’s a villain that’s been kept out of the trailers because I will probably tear my hair out in rage if Marvel decided to release a Spider-Man movie with one villain short of a Sinister Six. 

Worrying that we're still talking about environmental factors as being a feature for autism when these don't seem to relate to someone's underlying tendency towards being autistic - like, yes, premature birth or high exposure to pollution is bad for babies, but it doesn't seem to create autism by itself - the kid…

In that a lot of people experience the world through these lenses, that diagnosis is not a one-size-fits-all category, and there is a long, multi-dimensional spectrum on which people experience these traits, with neurotypical people occupying only a small part of the extent of human diversity? Then the answer is…

Maybe it’s just a feature of diversity and don’t worry about the fact that there a lot of people out there whose brains work in a different way from yours. Everything will be OK, or at least - no worse than it’s been up til now.

Dangerous thinking. What on earth makes you think that autism wasn't a trait endemic, surviving, and thriving in the population pre-healthcare? There are a lot of useful skills and traits that autistic people tend to excel in that neurotypical folk struggle with. The narrative that autistic people are somehow damaged…

No, Spiders-Man is the creepy cannibalistic mass of intelligent spiders that thinks it’s Peter Parker after devouring him and absorbing his memories. The precedent was set in the title of the first Peter Parker/Miles Morales crossover - Spider-Men.

Not unlikely that a contractor - for profit or otherwise - operates the jail. I’ve worked in public sector bodies in the past where over 50% of all staff were contracted through an internal supplier, with most of our operational sites almost entirely run by the outsource provider. 

As loads of people have pointed out, May isn’t Peter’s father’s sister, but Peter’s father’s sister-in-law. (there was a comic of questionable canon that strongly implied that May was Peter’s biological mother, with Richard and Mary Parker as Peter’s adoptive parents, with Ben and May taking their biological son back…

Yeah, I believe Fat Cobra and Lady Bullseye were showcased as... adversaries? Didn’t super recognise anyone else, and I’m not sure why Fat Cobra would come to blows with Hit Monkey (have they made him a straight-up villain, or will it be a comic book-style misunderstanding?) but tentatively excited for everyone’s favou…

Well, clearly the context is that Domino and Wolverine got cockblocked.

I am optimistic that the refusal to label this version of Peggy as Captain Britain, despite being decked out in the Union Flag (it's only the Union Jack when flown at sea, fellas!) means that they're hoping to introduce one or other of the Braddocks as a more legit Captain Britain in the movies or a Disney+ show…

Sadly, everything that Jason Aaron is doing with the Avengers right now seems to be pretty self-contained. After a really stellar run on Thor, it’s disappointing to see him writing an Avengers run that a) reads like a pretty mediocre all-ages comic and b) has no impact on the rest of the MU.

Yesss, Zdarsky has really energised Daredevil. I’m hoping this one sticks the landing.

Honestly, given the prominence that Mephisto has in the comics right now, I thought it was gonna be a Mephisto event for sure. Might still be, who knows?

Counterpoint: the Lord of the Rings stories were always set in a fictionalised Europe, with themes around Nordic myths, and the Shire being explicitly modelled by Tolkien after Berkshire and Oxfordshire in South-East England. The New Zealand connection only came about because Peter Jackson is a Kiwi and insisted on…

I knew some guys involved in it - stunt performers mostly - and promised I’d watch it to support them. Never got around to it.
