You'd think they'd be worried about the sharp ones, or at least the giant stick, which is fairly easy for kids to reproduce.

I read the first issue of Fight Club 2 and if the rest is as bad as the first, I'm sure it'll never get adapted whoever keeps on making awful Mark Millar books into movies is already all over it.

FC2 was written as a sequel to the movie by the guy who did the significantly different(and worse) book. Small wonder it ended up as terrible as it was.

You'd also think showing children they can use common household items and food as weapons is a worse idea than showing them that swords cut.

And then starting halfway through season 3, Mikey wasn't allowed to use his nunchucks anymore because the UK considers that weapon particularly offensive, so he had to use a stupid grappling hook for the rest of the series.

It was all one guy, James Ferman. He was head of the board of film classification for years and he had a mad worry on/hate on for nunchucks. Every martial arts film with them had said scenes cut, any imported films or shows would be refused otherwise. Hell, he even did his damndest to get them out of videogames in a few cases. He was also a massive dick about passing horror films like The Exorcist and The Evil Dead.

Then, one blessed day at the end of the century, he retired, his replacement thankfully didn't give a poo poo, Soul Calibur got passed uncut, Enter The Dragon was re-released complete and everything's been fine ever since. Mikey can swing 'em with impunity as far as I'm aware.

The best part is, the miserable old bastard was actually American.

I figure that Thor's big iconic girlfriend who is in comic terms also currently a popular superhero would at least be relevant to the giant supermegacrossover if just for a cameo or something.

I'm going to guess the movie that's supposed to be stuffed with about 60 characters isn't going to spend too much time on Thor's girlfriend, they'll just handwave it like they did in both Avengers movies.

Or they do want to go with Jane Thor at some point cast someone who actually wants to be there

I could almost fake myself into thinking there might be a possibility for Jane Thor if infinity war was still two movies cuz then you could have odinson die at the end of part 1 and have her pick up the hammer as a stinger or something, but I'm not really sure how they would work it out as it is now.

The insane thing is that the first season of the show specifically introduced robot ninjas for them to fight, but people (mostly the British) still felt that was too violent, so pies and bursting a pipe to make the water knock over the enemies it was. And then starting halfway through season 3, Mikey wasn't allowed to use his nunchucks anymore because the UK considers that weapon particularly offensive, so he had to use a stupid grappling hook for the rest of the series. Even when season 8 turned the show dark and edgy in response to Batman The Animated Series,

I think it was the day I realized Mikey's nunchucks were never coming back that I just gave up on that show all together.

So according to this Zendayas's role in Homecomming is Mary Jane Watson. I cannot imagine a reason to be upset at that news other than being racist as gently caress.

Devin Faraci warning.


Edit: Oh, he's not the original source. Slightly more plausible then.

Really though, it would make sense. She's listed as "Michelle" right now, but we know she's supposed to be the female lead. You're not going to make a Spider-Man movie and make the primary female character nobody from the comics. They would at least use Liz Allen or something.

I don't care at all beyond seeing a not-redhead MJ (assuming they don't dye her hair/throw her in a wig) feels...wrong, somehow.

Don't care what race she is, but her being a redhead feels as crucial to her character as Gwen being blonde/Betty being brunette.

MJ being a redhead actually feels much more crucial than either of those two. Like I could really see Gwen or Betty being just fine being literally any visual style or appearance or whatever but MJ really seems like she's got to be a redhead.

I don't see why they wouldn't dye her hair though. That seems kind of a weird assumption to make.

He's a pretty abrasive guy, to put it mildly.

I'm not sure why people don't trust him, though. From what I've seen his sources are typically pretty solid.
