Maybe parts of it. Ideas change dramatically after 20 years.

Why aren't all of you Mary Sue guys haunting the DC movie threads repeatedly calling Superman a Gary Stu? He's a FAR purer wish fulfillment vehicle of Simon and Schuster than Carol Danvers is for Roy Thomas. I ask that, of course, already knowing what the answer is. You're male chauvinist pigs. I like to pretend I'm one of those from time to time, so I feel a slight kinship.

When do the X-Men and Fantastic Four movie announcements arrive?!?! Get cracking, Feige.

The estrogen thread somehow became awash in testosterone.

Obviously it was a success...they should ramp it up and do two or three parallel projects.

I'm hoping the next Haslab project is a 6-inch scale item. What's the bigger market right now--3.75" buyers of new figures, or 6" buyers?

Right now the most pissed-off group of Star Wars collectors has to be: The people who have bought the barge for $700 or more since it was finished Anyone with a bid of more than $700 on a barge right now. That second group has to be particularly irate and wanting to suddenly cancel their bids...SHEESH. Why the hell didn't Hasbro tell us they'd be doing it? I wondered it immediately after I read about it here.

I presume eBay prices are now plunging?

I would think it ironic that a thread about a female superhero would become drenched in man-ego, but hey, it's a forum full of old men, so I suppose I should've expected it from the start.

How would it power the jet if it were in the lab?

Oh, and the Angela figure is somewhat unique in that in 2015 Hasbro ran a poll for fans to vote from a list of characters that they most wanted to see turned into a figure, and the fans chose Angela. http://marveltoynews.com/marvel-legends-angela-figure-wins-fans-choice-poll/ Not sure how many times Hasbro has done fan voting to determine a figure to create. Here's the full list of characters fans voted on; in the last few years they've done a number of the names on this list after they did Angela. Angela Black Nova Symbiote Spider-Man Borr Cosmo the Space Dog Darkhawk The Disir Executioner Lady Sif Lyra Malekith Mysterio Nebula Quasar The Hood Ulik

My significant other felt the same way, but she hasn't seen the movie, she just thought that based upon the action figure we got for our daughter based upon the movie. I don't think ANY of the Marvel films have sexualized female costumes, do they? From X-Men onwards, they all seem to cover up all Marvel hero stomachs, thighs, and usually show no cleavage, or if they do only a little. I think Scarlet Witch has a little bit of cleavage, and that's all I can remember.

I knew her from Spawn in the early 90s. Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane co-created her in 1993, much later sued each other for her rights, and Gaimon won, sold her rights to Marvel, and Marvel introduced her as the sister of Thor and Loki. She first appeared in Spawn #9.

In retrospect I've probably got over a dozen characters whose powers I barely understand yet I still like them. What does Silver Surfer do again? Err, he, uh, surfs, and shoots something cosmic-y from his hands. I'm sure authors over the years have defined his powers better, but Stan definitely didn't define them in the early FF appearances, yet he still became mega-popular.

Just saw trailer 2 and generally enjoyed it. I didn't have much problem with the girl replacing Gage as the dead kid, what's the big deal? I agree with their reasoning that an undead toddler is nowhere near as scary as an undead older kid. Every time I saw Gage in the first film I just thought to myself how easy it would be to punt him. In retrospect I love the cheesy camp of the first film, but I doubt I'll end up missing it in a remake.

I've been to 15 to 20 Walgreens in my area and NEVER saw Silver Surfer or Thing once so that's a great pickup! The way Walgreens distributes figures to stores seems to be more random than anything. I've seen 50+ Medusas, Magiks, and Namors though. I have Medusa, and the main thing they needed to have done was make her hair articulated in some minor way, or at the very least a softer plastic that would bend a bit. Making it stiff and super-heavy means you can really only do one thing with it--use it to prop her up so that her heavy hair doesn't tip her backwards. The paint job is spectacular though, particularly her hair, it has a great red sheen to it, and the purples of the suit blend really well with it. My $13.99 Walgreens sale pickups have been Mystique, Valkyrie, Angela, Magik, and Sub-Mariner. I didn't think I'd like Sub-Mariner, but I do, the sculpt is really spectacular. I still like Angela the best of that group, just an amazing sculpt and paint job on her. The figure reviewer Anthony's Customs made it his 2017 Marvel Legends figure of the year, and I'm not at all surprised.

Same Tesseract as we've already seen in half of the Marvel movies already. Apparently Mar-vell somehow had it in the 90s.

I completely forgot she was in Kong: Skull Island with Mace Windu and Loki until I heard her mention it in that interview.

Avatar is definitely the only film I've seen where I felt that the 3D enhanced my experience. Seems like a gimmick every other time I've seen it and I try to avoid it when I can now, although I do like IMAX and if the only IMAX option also includes 3D I'll concede to it.

I need to figure out what the heck Space Venom even is. He looks interesting, but I don't know a single thing about him. I'm guessing it's some new person the symbiote bonded with but I have no idea who.

I find it even more wild that Cameron has been working for nine years on shooting four sequels simultaneously. If it were anyone else but the most successful film creator of all time I'd have to wonder what they're smoking, yet I still find myself wondering what he's smoking.

I'm pretty certain I know why they do it, but I find it annoying and distracting I'm not a fan of mohawks, but I'm impressed by the design of the helmet to force her hair up into one while still allowing her to have long hair.

Related yet separate question--Thor said in Infinity War that he's over 1500 years old, or something like that. But the events of the first Thor movie happen in modern times, right? So in the MCU Thor doesn't become known to humanity as anything other than a mythical Norse god until whenever that movie takes place, right, which we might assume is the same year it took place for us, i.e. 2011?

She doesn't know who he is, what Stormbreaker is, or that it would be flying towards his hand, so why would any of that matter to her? It's a puzzling scene.

What was Thor doing to Carol--trying to see if she'd flinch when the hammer flew into his hand?
