Barry Convex posted:this is curious given that the character hasn't exactly had much of a profile in the comics in recent years, and has never even had a solo miniseries. gonna guess she isn't going to become the host of the Phoenix Force like she looks to be doing in Jason Aaron's Avengers run Original Phoenix Pool: American Eagle, Black Panther, Captain America, Doctor Doom, Echo, Howard the Duck, Luke Cage, Man-Thing, Moon Girl, Nighthawk, The Orb, Red Widow, Shang-Chi, Shanna the She-Devil, Valkyrie (Jane Foster), Wolverine Match-Up from Avengers #40: Captain America d. Doctor Doom Match-Ups from Avengers #41: Black Panther d. Man-Thing, American Eagle d. Luke Cage, Shanna d. Moon Girl, Valkyrie d. The Orb, Shang-Chi d. Hyperion, Red Widow d. Howard the Duck, Black Panther d. Nighthawk Match-Ups from Avengers #42: [spoiler]Namor d. Echo, Captain America d. Shang-Chi The above issue came out on February 3rd. Then this issue came out on March 3rd. Match-Ups from Avengers #43: Red Widow d. Black Knight, Shanna d. American Eagle, She-Hulk d. Jane Foster, Black Panther d. Wolverine Meaning that as of March 3rd, the surviving Phoenix candidates are Black Panther, Captain America, Namor, Red Widow, Shanna, and She-Hulk leading into the final issue of the arc, due out on April 7th. So why exactly Rich decides to post a "hey I bet Echo is the new Phoenix!" article on March 5th, I don't know. It's apparently based on a variant cover of Echo in a straitjacket for the forthcoming altered-reality Heroes Reborn event, while a different Heroes Reborn solicit mentions that "the new Phoenix" is in the Ravencroft Asylum. It's entirely possible just like anything in a made up comic book is, but it seems like pretty thin justification for the idea that plans are changing/plans ever existed.

And probably Zemo whenever he turns up. Besides, just because someone isn't specifically, willfully evil doesn't mean they can't be scary, dangerous and do a poo poo-load of harm without desiring to do so. Hell, look at Wanda from WandaVision

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Wyatt Russell does have an extremely punchable face and his acting career is mostly playing obnoxious characters that the audience wants to punch in the face. Exception: he was in the WWII action-horror flick "Overlord" as a grizzled badass and it is 1000% obvious that everyone agreed he should just channel his dad circa Escape from NY/The Thing and he nails it. The movie is worth it for him alone. It's like finding a secret Kurt Russell 80s actioner that never got released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKgJtlJDPcc

Second, why does Wanda have to be portrayed as a villain? Why can't she just be someone whose lack of control over her powers and herself caused a horrible situation? Do you think the fuckwits who did this started out going "Mu-hu-ha-ha! Soon our evil plan will begin. We will reveal our baby's gender to the world and then laugh as that world burns! Watch as we villains unleash our villainous villainy!" The truth is that Wanda is much more dangerous and threatening if she's not portrayed as a villain. There's probably a fairly limited number of deliberately evil people in the world. But careless, greedy, lazy and thoughtless? They're everywhere all the time. The scary part of Wanda isn't her plotting world domination. It's her getting stuck in traffic when her and Vision's song comes on the radio and before she can stop herself, 100 square miles gets "Westviewed."

Philthy posted:I call bullshit. I could believe it, D+ had some huge momentum after WV. I could believe people were more hyped than they were about WV before the first episode of WV aired. It's hard for me to believe they're gonna be able to maintain those numbers, though, since FATWS isn't the greatest match for the kind of people WV attracted. Like, my fuckin MOM watched Wandavision and loved it and doesn't really give a poo poo for normal Marvel movies. I hope they go full-in on the racism theme. Make it explicit that the US government is uncomfortable with a black Captain America. Give us something interesting here. Like sure Buck & Falc have great chemistry but if that's all this show is I'm gonna get bored fast.

I think WandaVision is the first marvel show in a long time,(I haven’t seen agents of shield), where a wrongdoer isn’t really punished, and is even praised. Every other property so far has been didactic with musical stings about who is good, who is bad, and never letting a villain really win at the end of things. (Thanos won once but then had to lose twice.) All the things that made Bucky an rear end in a top hat happened in a movie that came out in 2014. If the previous 21 entries in the series have moral certitude, people might miss it when it’s gone. (This thread is living proof that ambiguity in the depiction of racism can also fly way, way over peoples heads.)

What has he intentionally done while not being brainwashed? Wanda enslaved and tortured thousands of people, and only apologized for the torture part cause that was unintentional. Had Agatha not revealed that they were being hurt I'm reasonably confident that the sitcomverse would still be operational.

I'm watching the Assembled on WandaVision and mostly i just wanted to see the B&W stuff in colour, but a lot of really cool info on it. Most amazingly, the Malcom in the Middle opening was sung by the lead singer of Bikini Kill. I knew it sounded familiar. Big Mean Jerk posted:Hell yeah, that’s why it’s great.

Everyone posted:First, Goofy's take on Evanescence kind of rocks. I sort of agree with your position, but Wanda in the show intentionally keeps up the Hex despite being made fully aware, multiple times by multiple characters, that’s she’s hurting people. It stops being about her grief and chaos and all that other philosophical stuff when Vision goes “you’re hurting people, they are literally begging for death, you have to stop” and then she tries to MIND WIPE HIM so he stops bringing it up? The wishy washy Sit-Com window dressing does a great job of obfuscating it in a silly fashion, but Wanda is fully and completely cognizant of what she is doing, like when she walks out of the hex, threatens all the soldiers to leave her alone (meaning to let her continue to mind control thousands of people who are literally begging for the sweet release of death), and then walks back into the Hex and then SUPERCHARGES it. Your position makes perfect sense for Wanda in episode 1, but by the end of Episode 9 she has had like 5-6 direct opportunities to stop torturing thousands of innocent people and instead she selfishly CHOOSES, like actively consciously chooses, to keep doing it. That’s a villain, that’s villainy. https://twitter.com/skullmandible/status/1374328543514136581?s=21 I watched the episode two times. First time I was like “wow cool Falcon is cool” and second time I was like “drat Sam just rackin’ up the body count huh?” Bust Rodd fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Mar 23, 2021 |
