I generally like the characters they picked for Extraordinary X-Men, but that's no excuse for sidelining so many of the best ones.

I think Wells wrote that transformation when he revived him during the Necrosha tie-in. I was mostly okay with it because it could be handwaved away by the resurrection using the Phalanx virus, which even more confusingly aged him to be equal with his peers even though he died as a teenager.

Continuity has pulled the iconic Titans to shreds over the years so that you're basically starting from scratch every time you try to put them back together.

In my head it's U-S-Ayvengers. It's a hilariously clunky title and makes me think the book will be a bit satirical.

Sam has always been my favorite, which is surprising when you consider that his characterization can be summarized as "Nice Boy."

I believe the sequence is:

They're the only young team that we've seen grow up in the Marvel Universe. The Zeb Wells relaunch a few years ago was an excellent take on childhood friends supporting each other into adulthood. I loved it. I personally felt more connected to the initial run of Generation X compared to New Mutants due to my age, but…

I don't know if it's the best one, but I loved X4 for creating two playable characters with drastically different play styles. Zero controlled like you were playing a sidescrolling 2D fighter. He had a much riskier style compared to the relatively formulaic X character. X was a lot easier to play, but Zero was more…

I've never played it but have always been curious. Would you say it's worth tracking down? Or is it basically a lower self PS2 JRPG that probably wouldn't hold up today?

I've never played all the way through MM7, but I always thought it was notable for introducing Bass & Treble. Bass even became co-lead of one title and basically only stood behind Protoman in popularity. I'm surprised those bizarre parts are not talked about much.

There is no way the "Weirdest" title should go to an entry from the mainline series. The offshoots were just so bizarre.

What about the Game Boy Mega Man games? Or at least the two (I think) with an original story and villains?

I forgot about that part completely. I think I went a little easy on Hopeless for that just because the end of the series felt so rushed like he had the rug pulled out from under him. He built a lot of goodwill for me based on Avengers Arena, which pleasantly surprised me with its unpredictability and unexpected soul.

That's really a lot of effects you're describing, but I don't think Hulu's budget is that different from other networks or streaming services. 11.22.63 was gorgeous and didn't feel like they did any penny-pinching on costuming and set design.

Runaways could actually do a decent job at being in their own universe for the series. Even in Vaughan's run, he didn't really use them outside of the issues where the kids visit NY plus the origin of one of the later kids. For the most part, the book relied on its own mythology.

I think they'd focus only on the first volume and the plot about being on the run from their parents, only focusing on the initial set of kids. They all have the same origin and the premise is just much tighter and easier to sell.

I recently watched all of it on Netflix even though I had those exact same concerns. The first two seasons are a real hoot, and even though the quality drops the rest of it still goes down pretty easy. I admit I was barely paying attention during the last two seasons though.

Don't get my wrong - I think the first Thor movie is really entertaining and I'd rank it higher than most, and I've always liked Renner and I feel like he eventually grew into the role.

I have a few work friends who love superhero movies but don't read any comics. They've all talked to me about how they were excited about the Justice League trailer but none of them had a clue who this guy was supposed to be. Given how fledgling this universe already is, I would say that does not bode well for a solo…

It's a really odd cameo that feels like it was shot on a different day on an entirely different set with none of the other actors present. I might be wrong on this, but it seemed like they signed him for Avengers and then had him film this quick cameo for a film that was already in post just so they could tease that…
