I mean, we have no clue how sudden it was and what conversations may have happened.

Hopefully they had his input on the future of the series. It was important to him and a lot of people, after all.

Shuri's meant to be about 20 in Black Panther.

Recasting is a thing that happens but usually not right away especially for a lead character. I honestly am hard pressed to think of a case where a lead actor died tragically between movies and they just recast them that wasn't a complete lovely clusterfuck like the Bruce Lee stuff.

Dumbledore I guess.

I think the official explanation was that Thanos didn’t want to move openly until the location of the Soul gem was found because then other forces could gather to oppose him.

Once he has a way to get that info, he gets them all within like a day.

They never say, it’s just on an old mission before she even turned on him. She found out and kept it secret.

Feels like insurance should have probably known about that.

Edit: That's addressed in the article. Apparently big movies just don't care about insurance.

Eh, those aren't really incompatible statements. It sounds like a brief meeting that he left (for good reasons) without discussing anything.

I want more drama.

He was showing a video from his phone's photo gallery on an IG story and didn't end it before the video ended and his gallery reappeared.

In the middle of Gina Carano's idiocy she said Pascal spoke to her and educated her, but she took the wrong lesson from it anyway because she's a moron.

Carano has at last look put her pronouns on Twitter as robot noises which is like a step away from identifying as an attack helicopter.

Yeah she started with a "I'm not putting my pronouns in" rant, then said Pascal talked to her and she learned some things.

Then came back later with the boop beep thing. She says it's because she was being bullied for not showing support by not having any pronouns listed.

Any community that gets big enough online will have people that do that. But it's not representative and that's a very dumb response.

Hulk Smash! posted:

I'm not sure how some shared DNA acquired prior to Bruce ever becoming the Hulk would translate to passing on Hulkness but I'm no comic book scientist.

I guess a better question would be: has Hulkiffication ever been passed through Bruce's blood again, beyond Jennifer?

Originally, you can't just gamma anyone and make a Hulk (despite the now numerous stories where you can just gamma anyone and make a Hulk) so the reason it worked on her was because she had the same whatever in her DNA that Bruce did.

For those of you who don't get the Scarlet jokes it's referencing her playing a Japanese woman in ghost in the shell and her reaction to the white washing controversy being... Less than stellar: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/07/scarlett-johansson-casting-controversy-tree

She was talking about playing a trans man in that one, not GitS. I think she eventually dropped out of that movie.

Based on Captain Marvel and Quicksilver I don't think that being empowered by a stone necessarily gives you powers linked to that stone.

Yeah, her brother had superspeed from the Mind stone. She has telekinesis and some kind of telepathy which I guess is semi related right now. Captain Marvel has energy manipulation from the Space stone.

Plus the twins don't have similar powers at all, so it's all just random.

Doing Pheonix is like how Batman keeps doing Dark Knight Returns. It's the best story ever made so we must always do it! Though Marvel would at least be not afraid to have the Shiiar appear in it. But even then, why not Brood? Why not a later story arc? I'd watch a movie of Cable and Hope running through time. It's like how I keep seeing people going "oh they're gonna do X-men Vs Avengers!" yea, no. That is a story that had decades of build up, it didn't just happen.

They've only done DKR once though?

And they waited 9 movies, 4 different series, and 6 different Batmen.

Also AvX literally just happened. That's why nobody likes it. Nobody's decades of characterization mattered there. The only positive of AvX is the costumes for the Phoenix 5, and Cyclops was Right.

Carol is on Earth for like 2 days and never appears publicly, disappears for 30 years, and apparently also takes off again after Thanos is offed at the beginning of Endgame too.

Plus she never had the lightning bolt. Seems really tough to fit into Kamala, but ultimately it's not a very important part of her backstory either that I recall.

Rumor is Maguire is blacklisted by a lot of big name people over that Molly Bloom/poker stuff on top of already being a generally disliked dick from his "Pussy Posse" and Spider-Man days. He's done like 5 movies in 10 years and the only one you heard of was with his best friend Leo DiCaprio in Great Gatsby, and he had to produce a couple of the others.
