now this is a booty

Yeah, that's definitely not for me. 

I think she's got a nicely sized butt there. *shrugs*. Horses for courses.

most people's favorite part was the end.  kinda like a root canal.

Yeah, I was relieved when it was over. I wasn't even looking forward to the after-credits scenes.

 No booty to speak of  

Pert and pretty. Perfect, imo. 

No snack debris inside?

When they had the museum display here of all the costumes and props from the films, they had a room with a heap of important comics, from Captain America's actually first GA appearance and other GA keys, onto important SA keys, and so forth. Everyone I saw just moved straight through that room, with no idea of the history and value they'd just walked past. 

Edit: There was also original art. Ditko Spidey, some Kirby stuff, it was amazing to see in person. Nobody cared.

It was a great opportunity for me though. I wasn't hassled by people wanting to look at the same stuff I was looking at (everything else was quite busy), I could really take my time there and soak it all in. It was my first time seeing all these books in person. Strangely, they had a IH181 there, and this was a few months before the release of Thor:Ragnarok. I took my mother with me, as I've watched all the MCU films with her, and without her encouragement when I was young, I'd never have gotten into comics. It was fantastic being able to explain what each book was, and why it was so important, and then having her take a guess at it'd value for a bit of fun. She swore I had some of the books in question, bless her. If only. 

I showed her the art, explained it all to me, who had done it, why that artist was important, what they were known for, the eccentricity of Ditko, just little factoids I knew. She liked a few of the pieces once she started to understand them a bit, but overall, it's still comic art, and just not her thing. But she tried, for me. 

I think I had more fun in that room than the rest of the display, though comparing myself to the life-sized Hulkbuster was rather awesome, as was Tony's small Hall Of Armours.

Yeah... I guess that's true.  With new release comics often selling fewer than 100k copies, I guess we forget how truly minuscule demand there is for this product.  To be honest, I'm not really sure why they still produce new comics.  The old argument that they need them for intellectual property doesn't hold water anymore.  You can develop new characters in video games, on YouTube, or introduce them in the movies and TV shows themselves and generate far higher public awareness.  And frankly, with the thousands of characters already developed, and the constant rebooting and retooling of those to fit changing times and/or story concepts, is there ever really a need to develop a new super-hero or villain for mass-media audiences?

I'd like to think the different media require different artists (used here in a general sense to refer to all involved in the creative process) and that gives drastically different ideas and ways of thinking and approaching characters and stories, as they deal with the challenges of 2D vs 3D and vice versa, just as a quick example. It unlocks different ways of thinking and approaching the characters, and all can be potentially beneficial, and all can achieve certain scales by design(limited generally) and how that's incorporated can really test the creatives and force them to produce some great work, or they fail miserably. 

I think each has merit for what it can bring to the table. Each has something unique it can do, and can't do, that can be covered by another part of the conglomerate of creativity. 

Isn't AOS not even canon anymore? 

Advaaaance Austraaaaaaliaaa Faaaaiiiirrrr. 

I went and watched it on YouTube. Thanks for the alt link @Bosco685 but I didn't want to sift through 11 minutes of chatter to find the trailer (I appreciate it though). It looks a LOT better than I was expecting. And I'm pretty sure that was Gwendolyn Christie we saw there, right? Aka Brienne Of Tarth and Captain Phasma. She's PERFECT for this show. She IS a Spartan.

It'll take me a while to get used to Chief's voice, and the very different look for Cortana, but bring it on! 

Wort Wort Wort!

That's weird. Because it is coming up on my side. Wonder if they accidentally limited it to domestic market viewing?

It just says 'video unavailable'. Usually if it's region-restricted it'll say something like 'video unavailable in this region', so I don't know. 

Video unavailable @Bosco685. 

Low Cost Cosplay Guy's take on the Moon Knight Teaser Poster:

Exactly. Bloody yanks and their 'sleep'.

I have no idea.  But I've wondered, now that Disney owns all-things Marvel, why they haven't opened up a museum of Marvel history at Disney World.  They could fill it with key comics, posters, and original art (such as this), starting with early history and moving up to the modern mega-film era.  Of course... gotta have a gift shop at the end.  Even if they spent $50-mil. in content, it's a drop in the bucket to them, and might pull in an audience to the park that otherwise doesn't care about rides or meeting Goofy.

That's a lifelong mid-life crisis if I ever saw it.
