The Swamp Thing tax story wasn't true but was one of the most true-feeling stories I've ever encountered and that makes it slightly better than being true; I could readily accept that a state tourism incentive tax rebate program screwed up, I could even more readily accept that Warners totally hosed up trying to save what is ultimately a negligible amount of money, it was perfect

yeah but obviously that means the whole show is about the Burger King Kids Club trying to get through life, the mere suggestion of representation changed the genre from "police procedural where some of the cops can fly" to that, apparently

my personal favorite is Satannish, because he definitely was named when a Comics Code guy was like "is this Satan??!" and Roy Thomas answered "well, he's Satan-ish"

also because he has a second face on his tummy

I hope he's Seth the Immortal and they've decided to adapt the bizarre Terry Kavanaugh era where Frenchie had the spirit of a Templar knight or something inside him and Moon Knight fought demons

alright, I just watched five episodes of Wandavision last night after not reading anything about it.

Is Agnes Agatha Harkness? Like she's got most of the name, just smushed together, and she seems to be either conscious of what's going on or actually manipulating it a little

Also I'd buy that the town was originally getting controlled by Puppet Master. You could say Wundagore was in Sokovia, get you a backdoor FF connection, and it's pretty similar to the couple times he put his daughter into a perfect little Americana zone

why, they still have two hours or so to introduce things and basically all the movies have been loose adaptations of a bunch of comics with no prior context given for people who hadn't read them

Agatha Harkness is a witch who babysat Franklin Richards but also gave Wanda magic training when she decided to be an actual witch in addition to using her mutant powers

Puppet Master is a Fantastic Four villain who makes sculptures out of radioactive clay (from, coincidentally, the weird mountain where Wanda and Pietro were born) to control the subjects of the sculpture

fake Pietro saying that the fast kid got goes fast powers from being a Maximoff implies that at least Agatha thinks Wanda thinks either Pietro had innate goes fast abilities or that he got whammied so hard by a space rock that his powers became genetically inheritable through his twin

# ¿ Feb 28, 2021 14:32

Karma Tornado: Dec 21, 2007; The worst kind of tornado.

yeah but she made Pietro say it and Wanda didn't question it, so she had at least an educated guess going. I presume Agatha has some degree of telepathy going on in order to do what she's been doing, so the flashbacks were maybe more about her confirming suspicions than actually fact finding

I have subtitles on everything because of a combination of not having the TV on very loud, basically everything I watch mixing dialogue way too low to begin with, and a refusal to learn to understand what British people are saying most of the time

it's cool that the head of a presumably government affiliated military adjacent organization can be arrested by the FBI for, I guess, being mean to protagonists? like I'm not a hundred percent sure what that guy did but TV should have more government guys getting arrested for whatever

You know it only kinda bothered me during WandaVision but I think I've officially decided that the Marvel Studios intro is the most up its own rear end thing and I hate it.

it's like five times longer than it needs to be and is scored like a cartoon about a large bear going jogging, just the pits every time

I really can't believe they didn't decide the super soldier serum was a juice distilled from an infinity stone given how many other things became infinity stone related in the MCU. unless they did in a two minute short film on the Iron Man 2 DVD special features or something. it would play well with the MCU being heavily Ultimate universe flavored and the Ultimate universe used "botched attempt to replicate the super soldier serum" as the backstory for everything

yeah that's about where I was at. I liked Mark, I liked Atom Eve, I liked most of the supporting cast, but it trod the same ground a few times too many, so it started to feel like reading thirty years of Amazing Spider-Man in a row except it was all by mostly the same creative team throughout

No, in the comics Bruce was working on the Gamma Bomb project, which was unrelated and was as you might guess just like an H-bomb but gamma. (Why was that better than hydrogen? You'd have to ask Jack and/or Stan.)

there's a brief period where everyone working in the bullpen must have read the same like Life Magazine piece about cobalt because every villain in every book is suddenly trying to make c-bombs and cobalt armor, the sixties were a wild time for scientific advancement in the explosery arts

The MCU fascination with the super soldier serum is something taken straight out of the Ultimate comics. Everything in those backs ties back to that serum. Spider-Man, Hulk, the creation of all Mutants. It all goes back to that serum.

I mentioned it before but I'm shocked they haven't tried to make the serum or vita-rays an infinity stone derivative just to tie basically everything into one package. I kinda thought they were going that way with the Hulk's line about how the radiation coming off of the gauntlet was mostly gamma or whatever
