He also had the bonus gift of exactly one hour to spend with his father in limbo immediately before he died, spent in chunks as long or as short as he wanted. Which, let's face it, is the ultimate gimmick for a season-long story arc.

Huh, maybe this means we might actually see SWORD sooner or later?

She was HAMMER not SWORD. Abigail Brand was SWORD.

Yeah, but they're working in more of the Bendis run and there's that ever-persistent rumor that they want to introduce Carol Danvers to the Cinematic Universe, so it's looking more and more likely.

Please no. Doop is already dangerously close to becoming as overexposed as Wolverine was in the 90s and Deadpool in the 00s, despite Jason Aaron's best intentions.

Why did they cancel Spectacular then? :( I was under the impression that Disney did not own that show fully, prompting its cancellation after Disney got the rights to make a Spider-Man show.

Long story short, after the rights changed hands the show physically couldn't continue without being in violation of their contract. It was pretty much a case of horrible timing.

Now the abject shittiness of Ultimate Spider-Man though? That's all on Loeb. On the bright side, the good, not-Drake Spider-VA seems to be taking it all in stride.

So at this point it would take an even bigger rear end-pull than usual for them to beat Jessica Jones to production/air. Bravo, DC.

Zoom in the pilot? Isn't that jumping the gun a bit?

I mean, whether it's Professor or Hunter Zolomon, Zoom's entire origin is pretty tied to the Flash already being a long-established name. You have to save that poo poo until at least the third season.

Super Skrull is in the F4 package but regular Skrulls are not

Well, named Skrulls in general (Kl'rt, Lyja, Paibok, etc) are F4, but the generic Skrulls are somehow still under the Marvel umbrella. One of the weirdest loopholes I've ever heard of, but there we are.

Wait a minute, how can that be right? I thought the reason they ended up with Chitauri instead of Skrulls in Avengers was because they don't have the rights to them! :confused:

Well it could be a thirdhand rumor that gotten twisted in the echo chamber, but that's what I've heard. And considering we've got things like Double Quicksilver and Universal having the Namor rights (and only the Namor rights), I'm inclined to believe it.

I stopped watching half way through season 1. Did they ever advance the plot?

If by "advance the plot" you mean "used a dartboard of bad Claremont-era comic plot devices", then yes. Mystery plague, "normal" team member takes a body morphing drug, multiple mutually exclusive dark futures, supervillain jailbreak.... hell, in the final season it got so bad they went full Stan Lee and introduced an evil circus troupe.

It didn't even fall under "so bad it's good", it was just poo poo.

Weren't Hannibal and Under The Dome initially billed as miniseries? This will only end in tears and more undiscovered Pitrellis.

The only things I remember liking about the later seasons were Hiro & Ando antics (sneaking up on the African painter, George Takei's psychic video tapes) and John Glover being generally awesome in his 2 or so appearances.

What I really don't get about all this "oh god Skye's going to become Captain Marvel" doomsaying is the obvious fact that, well, Coulson can't loving fly or shoot fist lasers. We have walking, talking proof of what Tube Guy's organ juice or whatever can do, so just calm the gently caress down.

The only real downside to the Pilot was the score being utter garbage. Like even by Pilot Stock Music standards it was just bad.
