Tonight's episode of Constantine was kind of weird as they told an Eclipso story without ever using the name Eclipso.

Wasn't that also true in the Justice League two-parter? They have an army general in the costume at one point, but it's literally just because of a joke about how gaudy costumes attract the league members, and I don't think the world Eclipso ever comes up.

I wouldn't exactly call Lana confident. She was constantly looking forlorn and going "Clark, what am I going to do? My intense sadness can only be cured by you selflessly not pursuing me romantically to solve this dramatic situation I'm in that no sane person would care about."

The thing that always stuck in my mind about Lana was that she has a lot of spare time to drive to a rural Kansas farm two or the times an episode to say one dramatic sentence and then leave.

Which is the one where he knocks people out and nicks their cars?

That one, but knocking people out implies more action than he's down for. He walks away from cars, pretends to be sick till the driver comes to help, then runs around them and steals the car. Twice.

Did he rate them low and the viewers whined or he rated them high and the viewers told him how wrong he is?

He basically preferred to review through a social justice lens. It'd make for valid interesting reading but he was reviewing like four shows and it was hitting the point where he didn't even discuss the plot of a given episode briefly, choosing instead of revisit topics of appropriation or problematic choices from previous episodes, seasons, and even other shows.

And so far he hasn't been portrayed in a movie or TV show. I guess the cartoon versions have been good.

I thought Tim Drake was kicking around in the last season of Young Justice.

And how often has Batwoman had to tangle with Bane or Bruce's other muscle villains anyway? It's not like the show is Batman But a Lady, she'll have her own villains to punch right?

Sure I think he was one of the villains in that animated Mystery of the Batwoman movie, so that's one.

Maybe Trish becomes Hellcat next season when she shows up to do her radio show and Karen is just in there. Producer all "She showed up asking a lot of good questions, so I gave her your office and job. You should her credentials, it's incredible! She doesn't have any!"

No Manchester Black didn't have a tat. He had a full T-Shirt sized Union Jack.
Manchester Black was a homage to the Authority's Jenny Sparks.
But during the Authority's run, Mark Millar had the 1% kill the Authority and replace them with conservative knock offs. Their version of Jenny Sparks was a David Beckham looking guy called Colonel. He had a full chest tattoo of a Union Jack.

Googling him shows what looks a lot like a tat. Or else a shirt that somehow hangs right on the scapulas all the way across. And I know that in animated movie he was in it was a tat, because they definitely puts nips on the guy.

Edit: Hold on, Robin Atkin Downes isn't Robin Lord Taylor.

They mentioned from the start that WandaVision would tie-in to Doctor Strange 2 which comes out in May 2021. It made sense to have WandaVision initially as Spring 2021 because you'd want time to binge the show and have it fresh in people's minds going into the movie. Moving it to December 2020 puts an unnecessary six month gap between the two. Maybe they're counting on people watching it once when it comes out and then a second time before the movie? Of all companies you wouldn't think Disney would be hard up for new shows.

It'll probably have a weekly episode release schedule, like Mandalorian. Maybe even gaps in the holidays, so it could potentially stretch to February.

S.W.O.R.D. being in Wandavision goes a long way towards explaining why Darcy is there. After all, she was an astronomy student in 2011, she could be a scientist agent by now.

That show was immensely loyal to actors that didn't quit. Minor characters became major just by sticking around. Jim Gordon's ex had so many different plotlines' and the woman playing Azrael's evil sister stuck around so long after the Azrael Arc it was crazy.

My initial impression was that the suit was some sort of hazmat suit specifically designed to repel the whole sitcom-zone effect going on, and the beekeeper look and the bees represented nothing so much as an attempt by the reality modification field to account for "guy in a heavy suit" and "local defenses made by the field." I don't think it's a bad guy, I think at the stage Wanda just plain doesn't want to actually know what's going on so anything that represents a threat to her perception of stability looks immediately scary and she zips it away.

Agnes has been somewhat different from other townsfolk. When she asked Wanda a bunch of penetrating questions she also took no answer pretty happily, and she got there to ask them first, and she even offered fill in innocuous answers and suggestions (helpfully pointing out the ring thing without pushing). I think she was confirming her suspicions that Wanda has no awareness of the situation, where others don't have that luxury.

I think you're in for a disappointment. There's no way they have finished any of the X-Men casting yet, and there's no way they're bringing back the previous actors to just confuse things in the long run. Plus, I think it's pretty unlikely that Marvel/Disney is going to construct their entire mutant outlay around a treadworn, half-clever nerd meme that would only make sense if you read House of M.

My guess is we'll get Quicksilver or Ultron or Old Man Steve Rogers or like the cyber ghost of Tony Stark. MAYBE Dr. Strange, Baron Mordo, or maaaybe Magik


Not to mention the MCU may make stupid calls from time to time, but probably aren't willing to base an entire phase on "Woman loses partner, becomes so crazy that she tries to destroy the world."

The Avengers likely told the US Government everything that happened in great detail.

In this scenario the whole thing happened three weeks ago at the same time as everyone coming back from the blip. There's just no way there has been time for that to make it to like... Field FBI guys and astrophysicists.

That said I would love to see who they got for that debriefing. Just like Thor sitting in a chair breathlessly all "but then it turned out Cap can use my hammer and I was all I knew it but then Thanos had an army and it was like bzooom! And then Spider Man, whom I've never met but I gather it was him from context clues, he fell down and all the women rushed to his defense of course."
