The violence always made Invincible so irritating. I knew a bunch of people who would like it... except for the gore.

it's an Amazon show so it won't last long enough to get there, but I'm curious as to the reaction from show only people when the show turns into DragonBall Z partway through.

I generally dug the episode, between SWORD and Madripoor it’s interesting to see what Disney pulling out of that Fox buyout that isn’t explicitly mutant or F4 related.

Zemo reading Machiavelli was cute but a little too on the nose.

Maybe they were trying to portray him as pseudo intellectual since its primarily satire?

Even the 616 had plenty of characters who were attempts at remaking Cap.
See Man Thing*, which was Ted Sallis looking at alternate universe SSS. No use of the Vita-Rays.



* = I imagine he saw a Universe that advertised with "Do you want a Giant Sized Man Thing? Take this Serum and see what happens."

They also rolled the SSS up into the Weapon X project and made Cap Weapon I.


Though I think that was Cates and the less we talk about his additions to Marvel the better.

He had the infinity gauntlet and the plan in his head before he started. What makes you think his first stop in that new universe with Peggy wasn't killing Thanos before he could become a threat?

E: I know he couldn't use the gauntlet itself without turning into a crispy critter like Tony, but humans can use the time stone just fine, and that's all you would really need to just smother baby Thanos in his crib.

So yeah, friendly ghost. But I don't see why the ghost being friendly makes it non genre.

It absolutely is a genre film. Nerds just get kind of gatekeepery about their terms. There are enough romantic Christmas movies starring ghosts made a year for it to get it's own corner of the aisles.

Yea I have never understood why Jess got it worse than like Sue or Widow. Probably the only one who got it worse that Psylock in her Kwannon phase.

I think because when Jess was getting her resurgence in the mid '00s it was the same time Frank Cho was doing a lot of Avengers books. Same thing happened to Carol and her old black suit.

This reminded me that the whole thing was started with Jess' surgery to restore her powers and made me envision a world where Rhodey takes the lead of Secret Invasion with a skull swapping him out during an experimental surgery to restore full function to his legs. Could have gotten Don Cheadle full on chewing scenery.

I was excited to see Monica Rappachini was the work rival, though I think making her a techie instead of a biologist kind of ruins the joke of the name.

All the reviews I've seen have been positive, though they note that the show is a lighter tone than the comic, which I understand is apparently pretty bleak.

I liked the first episode, it was light but had a definite undercurrent of bleak despair. Kind of like the wave of coming off age indie movies from 5-6 years ago.

We'll probably find out for sure on Wednesday, but my theory is that Lady Loki mass bombed the Time Keepers themselves out of existence. Or at least disabled them such that they're not currently able to help maintain the timeline at crucial weak points, hence everything blowing up all at once.

judging from the scene from Avengers Mobius paused on, Lady Loki's plan is to create an universe where Ashley Johnson's scenes in Avengers weren't cut.

Something I only just realized about Loki episode 5, Alioth is a real world celestial body that stems from a Greek corruption of an Arabic phrase meaning 'The Lamb's Tail'. Anything sent to the void is quickly consumed and destroyed by Alioth or in other words In Two Shakes of the Lamb's Tail.

Mentioned in another thread but Batwoman season 3 is adding Renee Montoya played by Victoria Cartagena who previously played Montoya on the first season of Gotham. Although producers said this isn't supposed to be the same version.

Good, Montoya in Gotham was really terrible. Hopefully Batwoman does more with the character than obsessively jealous ex.

It was supposedly down to him and Finn Jones for Rand but Loeb and/or Perlmutter wanted Jones for it. The follow up rumor is that's its why Jones had no time for training, the showrunner were expecting to hire someone that didn't need as much lead time and choreography training.

It’s always been the case that you need to pay to say Super Bowl, everyone settling on ‘the big game’ feels more recent though.

Naw, I worked in advertising and marketing 10+ years ago and it was 'the big game' way back then. It's gotten more prevalent because NFL is signing more exclusivity deals. So now beer A can't just pay the licensing fee because beer B is 'the official beer of the superbowl'.

It never made sense to me that people would draw a distinction between Captain America and Cyclops where they’d only want one of them saving the city. Either they’re both terrifying freaks or they’re not. How would anyone even know that Cyclops got his superpowers in a slightly different way from other superheroes?

The bigotry metaphor breaks down when they’re all beautiful white people with godlike powers.

This argument only works if you've never read the examples of the hate mail Claremont got in the 70s.
