  1. The Rock is one of the most money making celebrity right now. From the XFL, acting, commercials, Wrestling,...the man is doing everything. In the same note, so is Kevin Hart. You give them money and they'll do it... ...basically, I'm getting sick of seeing them (and I'm a fan of them both). Their buddy buddy schtick is getting old. Nothing against the movie because the trailer does look funny. I just need a break from them. ***Add Tom Holland to that list
  2. But can he act??? ***If it was all looks Victoria Secret models would make up the Avengers team
  3. So I don't understand what change is considered acceptable and what changes aren't (not calling you out specifically...just in general). So his origin is now Aztec/Incan...so what? - Nick Fury is black - Spiderman is played by a bunch of different people (also an animated pig) - Nobody got angry with Fat Thor - etc. I'll be more upset if the movie doesn't do him justice as a character...which I'll wait until I see it. I understand nostalgia and holding onto what we grew up with but I think we need to be more flexible with change (whether we like it or not). ***Multiverse...I'm sure the perfect Namor exists in one of the universes
  4. Fair enough. So let me change my answer...I'm just glad they didn't make him Chinese or African American (to a point when he showed up I didn't say "what??"). ***Personally, I thought he looked great
  5. Eh hem...I'm going to take this opportunity to pat myself on the back. ***Since nobody else will LOL
  6. Really? When I first saw him I was like "that's Namor"!...it was undeniable. ALSO...I'm glad they didn't go with the hulking muscles chiseled look to differentiate him a lot more from Aquaman. ***I'm just happy that Namor is still recognizable in the movie adaptation
  7. X-Mutants. ***But some people might mix that up with Mutant X
  8. I'm not sure. I try buying my books before they cross the $100 mark. ***I bought SW #1 because it was one of my favorite covers of all time
  9. Since there's a chance that he's coming to the MCU (with the announcement of Secret Wars)... I'm definitively saying (and supporting) Secret Wars #1 is his first appearance. ***Now go run out and get the book
  10. If my calculation is correct...1 standard with 3 sig = 1 newsstand. ***Don't ask...this is high level math I'm dealing with
  11. Whether you like the MCU or not, they stomped on the DCEU during SDCC. Marvel basically locked down everything until 2025. I don't even know how the DCEU will compete after that once the X-Men start up. I'm not a Marvel or DC person...I just am happy to see comic book movies being successful. But if the DCEU isn't going to keep Marvel in check (competition for them to keep striving) it is bad for everybody. They need another Zack Snyder Cut Justice League like movie! ***Can't just keep relying on Batman
  12. I got my copy ready... ***Avengers #8...1st appearance of Kang
  13. Looks fantastic. I don't even mind the change to Namor's origin/roots. So many things to look forward to... - How the Ironheart armor will look like - How they explain the death of Black Panther - Who will be the future Black Panther - How Namor with impact Aquaman (in terms of fans, if they do, choosing one over the other) ***Visually stunning trailer
  14. I would love to see Esposito at Professor X also. However, my bigger concern with his age isn't his longevity...it would be with Magneto. I don't want to see a 60+ year old Magneto (since Professor X and Magneto are the the same/close age). ***I'm assuming they have to have Magneto in the MCU
  15. That book is already way over priced. This isn't going to make it more overpriced. Now it really is looking like an all female cast. ***Plus I think everybody knew she was heading to the big screen
  16. It would be silly to have Native American's in an Predator origin story. With their technology we'd have to go back thousands of years...not decades/hundred. ***It never once crossed my mind it would be an origin story
  17. People need to stop saying the trailer looks awesome. This is a LOTR series. Of course it's going to look awesome!!! Galadriel is my new Daenerys (before the final season)... One gripe...I'm not a fan of Cynthia Addai-Robinson. Her role in Spartacus really turned me off. Obviously, my opinion is pending on how this new role will go. ***Looks awesome
  18. I stopped watching (more of paused watching) after the first two episodes. So I'm happy to hear these modestly positive reviews. Might have to binge the rest this weekend. ***YouTube kinda spoiled some reveals/revelations from the last episode
  19. Fair enough. Instead of "saved" I should have said "made lots and lots of money". Nothing in the MCU needs to be saved in the literal sense. Everybody knows that. ***Thor 1 is the best Thor...I do agree with that
  20. I'm going to come to the man's defense (albeit, hesitantly)... - What We Do In The Shadows (I even love the FX show...hilarious) - JoJo Rabbit (great/weird movie) - Ragnarok (Changed the direction of Thor and saved it) ***Prior to this misstep I've heard nothing but (mostly) positives about him
  21. This movie will make enough for them to justify continuing doing what they are doing. We need to see BIG MAJOR flops in multiple MCU movies for them to finally acknowledge what they're doing isn't good. I'm getting tired of being over hyped only to be let down (Moon Knight, Boba Fett, Kenobi, Ms. Marvel...and to an extent Dr. Strange MoM). ***Or hope that the DCEU get their @#$%$ together and give the MCU some competition
  22. I have more faith in UF4 hitting $10K than ASM300. Not saying it will happen...just saying if I had to make a bet on one or the other. ***Add UXM 129 to that race
  23. Well this review was a downer. I can handle the MCU comedy thing but I was hoping there'd be less...not more. I don't know who in the movie focus group said "yes, more stupid comedy please". Maybe I'm getting old a losing touch with what people want. ***The Infinity War scene where they were talking about Ben & Jerry Ice Cream during an impending doom...that was my line in the sand.
