There is a difference.

Guardians WAS the last in a trilogy with only Groot and Rocket most likely to appear again down the road since "anyone" can assume the voices for those characters.   Star Lord was a pleasant surprise that he would return.

Daredevil is being marketed as an event where it's more of an introduction to new things.  Deadpool is joining the MCU.  There is a very different feeling about this movie.   Now, if they were not marketing that it was Daredevil joining the ranks of the Disney Marvel universe and it was another stand alone Deadpool movie, then it is likely that I would not even bother with the film.

The ambition is high on this film but it does seem to warrant it. 

1 billion or bust. Ha ha.

appreciate the stink lines on Kelce. Met him in person a few years ago and my whole group thought he defecated in his pants because of the awful smell. don't know how a classy girl like taylor tolerates him.. but i guess it's not really my place. Ill stick to watching popcorn classics and kino films and flicks.... any recs?

I really think it will do a billion. If I am wrong I am wrong. Love the first 2 DeadPool movies. Well, got to go guys. My girl is dragging me out the door for shopping. Adios bros. Take care dudes.

No offense to you, but OF COURSE he's going to say that. Do you think he'd say that the movie will suck and will tank at the box office?

While I'd love to be optimistic, I don't think this will hit a billion.

No offense taken. you cool. This is the super hero movie though. I believe Rob. If this doesn't do 1 billion box office world wide than we know Super Hero movies are dead at the box office and our mainstream doesn't care any more. I believe in this movie and what Rob Liefeld says that if doesn't hit 1 billion world wide I will personally donate $50  by PayPal  to a charity of your choice and donate another $50 to my bromance partner @Bosco685 charity of his choice. I expect 1 billion worldwide. This is the event movie of 2024. If I a and Rob Liefeld are wrong I be first to admit it. I think this will be the super hero movie that brings them back after turd after turd. Lol. 

Chatted with the creator of DeadPool the other day Rob Liefeld. He was on the set. He said without giving too much away. This will be big like a billion dollar box office. I agree. This will bring super hero movies back in the spotlight. Deadpool and Wolverine. Hell yeah!

As a little kid I collected stamps

This was my stamp. both my grandfather and great-uncle where into stamps and coins. They did everything to get me into stamps and coins but I love comic books, baseball cards, Star Wars figures and video games more.

Here is the stamp I love as kid in 1980s

 thought he was Sherlock Holmes brother as a kid. found out he was a successful lawyer. 

well when they bought it in 1980s it was 5, now worth maybe a dollar. A TERRIBLE investment.

I would argue too that the emergence of a lot of Youtube people in the hobby (many of whom seem to be in that 30-45 age range with a few younger and a few older) suggests to me the age of the hobby is ok, unlike something like stamps.

Agreed. On YouTube, I always see weekly what are the top 10 hottest comic books of the month or top 10 hottest sports cards of the month videos made by 30-45 year old YouTuber creators, while I have not seen one what are the top 10 hottest stamps of the month  YouTube videos.

Ub Iwerks ?

Good video here about Ub Iwerks. Uncle Walt kind of stole credit from him. 

‘Masters of the Air’ Soars to Apple TV+’s Most-Watched Series Launch Ever (EXCLUSIVE)

https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/masters-of-the-air-premiere-ratings-apple-tv-plus-1235916408/

“Masters of the Air” launched with more viewers in its opening weekend than any Apple TV+ series ever has in its first season, according to the streamer. Though an exact number of viewers was not made available, that puts the epic war miniseries launch above other high-profile original titles like “Hijack,” “The Morning Show” and “Severance.”

Remarkably, following the premiere of “Masters of the Air,” viewership across all of Apple TV+ climbed by 65% worldwide when compared to the previous seven-day period. The streamer also maintained double-digit growth across more than 100 territories.

“Masters of the Air” is currently debuting new episodes, with its sixth installment premiering on Friday, Feb. 23. The finale will bow on the streamer on March 15.

I go with (1) $30,000 Comic than (300) $100 Comics.

Quality over quantity.

This one got some heat because of Taylor Swift.

I’m aware of  the legion of monsters.

But prior to that, did Man-thing ever crossover with Dracula, Werewolf by night, or Frankenstein? I presume that if they crossed over, it likely happened in the Bronze Age.

Thanks in advance and for any info.

Correct with Legion of Monsters.

Man-Thing and WereWolf by Night.

or more traditional Triton.

First one I thought of.

Karloff won a Grammy for Grinch.

Good actor, not sure about casting him as Richards.

They are probably going to the Reed with the beard look.

I see they got Herbie the Robot in this? 

This is up there as one of the best new movies. A very powerful and emotional movie.

Not all keys, but certainly in demand. Consider Frank Frazetta or Matt Baker. 

I mean, I would consider their first works to be "important" but that's just me. 

There will always be contention about what makes a key and what does not. 

If we really want to get silly, let's talk about "semi-keys."  

That is a great example as people who were buying Frazetta and Baker did very well compared to people who bought a bunch of the bronze age and copper movie hyped keys, especially long-term going forward.

They got Casablanca in 4k now. It's even better when we watched it .
