It’s happened.

Decided she no longer preferred the P.

“Either everyone dies and the universe is doomed, or there’s some last-minute twist that reveals that the universe is doomed in some other way.”

The problem with the Mandarin twist in IM3 wasn’t the twist itself. It was the fact that the actual antagonist was just a generic white dude who in Extremis, the storyline IM3 is based on, was killed pretty early on and was merely an accomplice to Maya Hansen; the one who was actually distributing the virus to…

Agreed. He’s a huge part of the reason why IM3 is my favorite of that series. The comics Mandarin is a garbage character and always was. The IM3 fakeout is brilliant, and the way Shang-Chi creates a new character (instead of reverting to the old, terrible one from the comics) is good too. They can both be good!

+1. this article’s besmirching of Iron Man 3 is bad and the author should feel bad

I was truly surprised by how deeply affected I was (and am) by Anthony Bourdain’s death.

Does that mean we’re going to miss out on that pivotal scene in Secret Wars 2 where Spider Man teaches an all-powerful space god how to take a crap? Bummer.

It’s like the cover was foreshadowing his future.

Now if only I could find Cadbury Crunchies or Violet Crumbles that AREN’T $4.50/ea in the little ‘import’ section of the candy store...

In 1973, Marvel Comics combined the two archetypes with the introduction of Shang-Chi, a character whose powers came from a lifetime of training in the fighting arts.

Shout out to the anonymous staffers who leaked to the press like a sieve and made this happen. They are the real heroes. 

Let’s be real y’all. The reason we didn’t think it was Benicio Del Toro playing the Collector this time was because we could actually understand what the fuck he was saying. Whatever he’s doing in the live-action is gibberish.

I really didn’t think that was Del Toro voicing the collector because, as the review says, it’s a way more reserved performance than in the films, to the point where it felt like an imitation by an actor who knows Del Toro’s voice but doesn’t know this character. Also, I really didn’t buy this prissy antiques hoarder…
