I feel like he vague idea is that with SHIELD gone there is no big agency overseeing everything. Just a bunch of different letter groups with shady agendas and incompetent leadership all carving out their place. My guess is that goes somewhere with Thunderbolts or maybe Secret Invasion/Armor Wars/Cap 4.

Like our introduction to SWORD was in chaos and with a big interdepartmental mess of an operation. I never got the sense they had any kind of control.

SHIELD wouldn't show up armed to the teeth with drones chasing a minor around after she saved a kids life. Kamala would go home and Daisy would be sitting in her room saying "Welcome to the Avengers Academy" or something.

That's what the MCU lacks, a pipeline for young heroes to be trained and learn how to use their powers in a way to avoid hurting anyone by accident. Sounds like a D+ series just waiting to be made.

Also since the bangle was a family thing I'm wondering if there's going to be a thing where she's part alien since there isn't a ton known about her mother's side of the family.

Moon Knight only lacked an Eternals scene because it was going to cost too much. Marvel knows everyone is crazy for more sweet Phastos and Kingo action.

Unfortunately I feel like that's what it's got to be. I mean the only other option is Inhuman and you could say the bangle had some terrigen stuff on it or whatever but well... Inhumans, man. I'm positive that at some point in the future down the line, Marvel will take another swing at the Inhumans. I just don't think it's now.

This week's Flash finally finished off the "is Diggle going to become a Green Lantern?" story arc. Reverse Flash helps Dig open up the box again but Dig rejects the call because he sees that if he takes it he'll never be with his family again. The box then goes away.

That’s lame but it seems like the ring was just meant to be a fan service send off and then they decided they actually wanted him around so they eventually decided they had to resolve that. Lamely.

I have to wonder if this is still happening. AFAIK, it hasn’t even started filming even though two of the leads were cast ages ago, it was noticeably absent from DC Fandome last year, and it generally doesn’t seem to fit with Zaslav reportedly wanting to reserve more expensive DC projects for theaters. It might still see the light of day, who knows, but I’m not holding my breath at this point.

My ideal MCU Young Avengers combines the two teams. Though until we get a Miles, Parker can be their spider-man.

I wonder if they're keeping Miles in reserve until Tom Holland is done. Considering Peter is still fairly young and inexperienced and the MCU version effectively stole Ganke, Miles doesn't really bring a whole lot to the table right now.

Also I'd rather they use the Champions name anyway. Young Avengers is more obvious about what the team is and for marketing / branding reasons maybe it's Marvel's preferred name but I've never loved when team names explicitly highlight the youth of the team.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
It wouldn’t have been proper Jersey if nobody ever played Bon Jovi.

Not sure if I love the optics of making the first Muslim superhero a literal genie, though.

However, that was clearly a Ten Rings symbol on the floor of the bangle chamber, and we already knew that the rings were some weird kind of energy sending a signal to an unknown place, so… maybe we actually do know where the other bangle they we’re looking for got off to?

I noticed Bruno’s physique in that tshirt too, my thought was that it was intentional with the subtext of the scene very much being “hey, I’m a love interest too, look at me”.
