Spider-Geddon is just more of the "wild idea alternate universe" porn that they're running with right now. I wouldn't think too deeply about it.

It's a direct homage, is all I meant. Also his show is produced by Marvel's parent company, so that's a difference too I guess.

Before I say anything dumb, is this mostly a "Jimmy Kimmel isn't funny" thing, or does he have some war/sex crimes in his past? Letterman (or Leno, who teamed up with Spider-Man more than once) seem to have more skeletons in their closets than Kimmel.

Not about him as a person (other than his sense of humor, I guess), he's just very low on late night totem pole for me, but even with the prescience, I'd probably still go eww if it was anyone I actually liked.

They're the West Coast Avengers which limits their options in 2018. Colbert and Meyers have already appeared (and Meyers wrote a Spider-Man one-shot), and in any sane world Fallon is underneath Kimmel in any ranking, so...

Desus & Mero & Power Man & Iron Fist would be better, don't get me wrong.

I have no idea what the plot of the book is but Thompson seems excited by it and presumably her story involved them going onto a talk show, I can see why people don't like lame cameos but personally they bother me less than Foy News Presents The Raun Mannity Show With Dr. Ken Barson talking about Senator Shuck Chewmer saying there are good people on both sides of the Mutant Issue to Fakechel Madcow on MSNCNCNCCCC

I really wish we'd get some kind of Web Warriors like series after this is over with the Warp characters because a lot of them are really neat ideas. I want Little Monster everywhere.

For example, check out the character design moving from the 2011 Mortal Kombat to 2015's Mortal Kombat X.

They also went in the opposite direction in Injustice 2.

The truth is...somewhere in the middle. Games like NieR and Soul Caliber moved heavy product and are Horny on Main as hell. The costumes that sold the best on Overwatch and the like are sexy skins. Young women artists like doing horny fan art along with the men and the market seems to realize that the fringe sex games are actually pushing a million units.

They also realize a lot of women and men don't want some of that poo poo to appear on their Amazon For You lists or walk to up a Gamestop teller and when a game has a certain reputation. Moms and Dads still a sizeable chunk of games for their games as well. They also know there are people who get turned off by Horny On Main. See Dead Or Alive 6 and previously 5 on the cluster gently caress they're going through trying to balance this out. They know to make DLC sales they need those sexy costumes season packs and they need the titillation the series is known for, but they also want(ed?) to tone it down to expand into an E-Sports market, and get their game played on ESPN or something. They've always had to slide back heavily into fanservice but that was they're primary market.

It's all flowing and differing Trends, especially in the US. It leans that way 3 year ago and is now swinging back in the opposite direction...and it will happen again.

No, it's not. Your counterexamples, NiER and Soul Calibur VI, aren't from the western developers I'm referring to.

Jordan D. White has mentioned a few attempts at doing a magical girl for Marvel but none of them ever panned out. Probably before the likes of Squirrel Girl and Ms. Marvel and Gwenpool and Riri and Nadia and... A straight-up magic using magical girl could still be pretty cool though.

Squirrel Girl, America, Ms Marvel, Ironheart, Wasp, and Hawkeye would make a great magical girl squad.

Man, you hear so many nasty stories about Jim Shooter (granted, mostly sourced from one J. Byrne, but as I recall Marvel Comics: The Untold Story isn't terribly nice to him either) but he was incredibly close to buying Marvel when Perelman swooped in with a higher bid and I have a hard time believing it would have been as bad.

I wonder what Marvel under Shooter's ownership would've looked like. He probably would've put someone other than Harras in as EIC (maybe Layton or Fingeroth or maybe he would've kept DeFalco around).
