I feel like the biggest mistake the anti-fascist movement ever did was to get branded as “Antifa.” That word sounds scary and foreign. When you have to use the whole name, you end up with sentences like “Kevin Sorbo fights anti-fascists,” very much making him seem like a fascist. Which, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Don’t you feel like making a toxic character beloved is just a classic move from the Gunn playbook? I feel like that’s the main thing he gets off on.

It’s nuts that when I see an all star cast of beloved actors for an animated film, it’s a dealbreaker and an assurance that I WON’T be seeing it.

Classic prisoner’s dilemma right? Both sides will profit if they collaborate, but they think if they can get one over on the other, they’ll get double the profit. But since they are both going at each other, neither gets anything.

When I saw the Black Order got the subtitle, I was hoping they were really going to get a game to shine as villains. But they were just the same shallow minions they were in the movies. In a game called “The Black Order” we sure spend a lot of time fighting Surtur, Ultron, and sentinels.

I feel like, from Whedon’s perspective, he needed a bigger announcement than “X-Men with babes in the Victorian era.” Especially considering his very public meltdown from the stress of creating a high profile superhero show, and his interactions with women are the things he needs to overcome. Sort of leaning into the

He’s definitely improved at this point in his life. Here is a joke cover he tweeted at Bendis a few years ago.

I like a lot of King’s work, but this series had some of the worst 9-panel grids I’ve ever seen. Utter nonsense. I’m in the middle of writing them up over at Multiversity Comics, because someone needs to talk these grids!

There are so many Wrestlers who I’d love to watch as Kratos. I hearby nominate Samoa Joe.

I did NOT like the run of Falcon-as-Cap in the comics. I really liked the run where Bucky was Cap. But Anthony Mackie has brought so much heart and charm to that role that I can’t WAIT to see what he does with that promotion.

Disney owns the Muppets and everything else we love. The least they can do is make a new Muppet’s late night show (a la Muppets Tonight) and have the guests be all the superhero and Star Wars celebrities we all wanna see.

If there were any women at that Marvel retreat, there was one, and it was Kelly Thompson. I am pretty sure those other creators you mentioned weren’t invited.

That being said, I’m hearing rumblings of an Emma Frost-centric ongoing, and I think odds are good that Leah Williams is involved.

...maybe these problems have always existed within this show and are just more apparent now that we are nearing the end and there aren’t any shocks left to distract us from a fundamentally empty adaptation...

There are a lot of disappointing ways this movie could play out, but based on the evidence so far, I think there’s just as many satisfying ways.

I played the game when it first came out. Sure that moment has become legendary, but no one would have played the 70 hours leading up to that moment (or whatever) if it wasn’t a fantastic world with wonderful characters and an engaging story.

I guess that’s my point. They are RAD Star Wars characters who deserve some more time in the spotlight.

I’m glad I’m not the only one!

I for one am stoked for a couple of years to let Sabine Wren, Cassian Andor, Doctor Aphra, The Mandalorian, and whichever other peripheral characters take center stage for a few years.

On the one hand, this is stupid and breaks everything.

Yeah, with most old franchises I understand why the name is important, but Indy is a pastiche of so many other things that could be adapted (Doc Savage, The Spider, The Operator, whatever), or you could just grab a charismatic young actor, give him an iconic look, and set him out hunting for treasure in a period
