Between Constantine and Rip Hunter, we’re clearly on our way to a new incarnation of the Trenchcoat Brigade.

I’ve been planning to go back and read a bunch of these once the crossover is concluding, so I’ll be saving this list, thanks!

This is why I love the position Netflix are in. Here’s a show that got shredded by the critics, and that a lot of people very vocally hated. But because they have access to the actual figures, because they can see that it found an audience who watched to the end, and rewatched, and rated it - they know with a high…

I think it’d be interesting to see an Elementary-style reimagining. Bring the character over, but not the books. A loser detective in strong denial about his own psychic powers is a heck of a concept, and if they can’t make that work as a series then there’s no hope for them. Slavishly adhering to Douglas Adams’…

At the time they were also coming out of the Toy Biz era too, so they saw movies as a way to leverage money from merchandising rather than a moneymaker in itself.

Don’t forget the Ultima spinoff where you went to Mars with Warren Spector. Although that was well in line with Ultima’s standard practice of creating NPCs based on the developers and their friends.

Ah, you beat me to it. Yeah, he’s got form for this kind of thing - and given how Interstellar was getting huge praise for the accuracy of its science (with one scientist even taking advantage of it to help advance his research) it wouldn’t be too far beyond the bounds of possibility that the new FF might have some…

One of my favourite fictional detectives is the sadly too obscure Beatrice Adela Lestrange Bradley, creation of the author Gladys Mitchell. Mrs Bradley (who became Dame Bradley later on) is a psychological detective who debuted in Mitchell’s 1929 novel Speedy Death, and who went on to star in 66 novels over the next…

As Isaac Asimov taught us, one should be careful about asking computers to analyse humor for us - in case the aliens take it away from us.

Finally, out of that cafe...

Yeah, not when there are important stories to cover. Like this Martian invasion up in New Jersey.

We all know what we really want this movie to be.

Skrulls have been surprisingly absent from the MCU so far, actually. They’d make an interesting foe for AoS. On the other hand, they would complicate things tremendously.

True enough, but I think Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are probably a special case since they’re at least as much Avengers characters as X-Men ones. The only similar fringe case I can think of would be if the Fantastic Four movies decided to add She-Hulk to replace the Thing, though I’d be interested if anyone else…

And Blink’s already been in Days of Future Past, too.

Really? I found that if you put two people who were related in the sleeping quarters, they just say things like “it’s good to hang out with my family”. Might just be parents though.

And that’s interesting about Moira - I got her from a lunchbox, I had no idea you could get rare dwellers as random arrivals too.

Not quite the same media, but I can’t not mention my favourite Jonathan Coulton song.
There is a book version coming soon, too!

One part of Iron Man in the comics that they’ve never explored in the MCU is his relationship with Thor. It’s always been very nicely done - from the friendship they usually show, to the magic/science dichotomy, all the way through to Thor’s personal betrayal when Tony clones him. If they’re going to redeem him,…

That’s covered in the next panel. Iron Man continues “It was the Wasp, I think. And how long did she stick around?”
So it’s definitely not Janet, and probably not Hank either. Rick or Bruce are the most likely candidates (barring a major twist).

Cap doesn’t have super-strength though - that’s an explicit part of the mythos. He’s at the peak of “normal” human capabilities; which makes him a formidable opponent, but hardly invincible.
