If Marvel had any goddamn balls or sense they would use Trump as the evil posterchild of their current Worst Timeline Nazi fracas instead of Captain America. It doesn't even have to be Trump or a "totally not Trump (but is)", just make MODOK orange and give him blonde hair

DC already did. Trump was the president in the evil Doomworld the Legion of Doom briefly created in the CWverse shows.

I've always wondered why that hasn't been the plan since day 1. Give him stupid little projects to stay busy, let him personally oversee renovations of government buildings, have have his entire day be spent picking out flooring and bathroom fixtures, then slip him an Ambien and put him to bed.

Also heard elsewhere in the season: "alternative facts" and "nevertheless she persisted". It was pretty blatant.


(The overall storyline was about entering a virtual world where Hydra had won several years ago.)

Ike Perlmutter is extremely hands off creatively though, and Disney has apparently tried their best to cut him out legally because he's always been a weird nutcase. No, Nazi Cap is a creative and editorial gently caress up, a self-inflicted wound.

Perlmutter is another "Surely Tromp will make the Palestinians go away!" fool btw

Speaking of topical TV, I had a "I can't believe it's only been two months since Trump took that goofy orb photo" moment when I started the new season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. One of the character's arcs last season ended with her resolving to get the Redskins to change their name, and they're picking it back up. I can't believe that was in the news just over a year ago. It feels like ancient history.

The best part will be when Putin releases the piss tape, confident he has destroyed Donald for disobedience and diffidence.

And instead it just causes 35% of the country to suddenly say 'GETTING PISSED ON IS THE ULTIMATE SIGN OF AN ALPHA!'

It took off after the Hydra twist mid first season and hasn't stopped since. It's better than half the Netflix Marvel shows at least (looking at you, Iron Fist)
