The Less Blob

Don't they call this an "ink transfer" rather than stain, as in it rubbed the back/front of another book and got that way?

OK, but in TV shows and movies there has to be a reason, I'm not sure Marvel is gonna go there. But maybe, I forgot what her origin was in the comics, typical nonsense from 35+ years ago: "Monica was introduced as the second Captain Marvel and she gained super powers after being bombarded by extradimensional energy, produced by an energy disruptor weapon." So someone zaps her and, instead of hurting her she gets super powers? OK, I guess Wanda did that to her, maybe. I assume Marvel has give up on the idea of Inhumans running around with latent genes ready to get activated (OK, if later seasons of SHIELD deal with all of that don't spoil it), so in the current MCU you either get your powers through tech, genetic engineering, being an alien/born a demi god, infinity stones, magic ... oh forget it, we'll find out what her deal is within the next month! For the sake of my 10 copies of Spiderman Annual 16 I hope it is good!

Wanda super powering everyone she gets mad at doesn't make sense. Maria was near the tesseract, maybe she touched it, blood transfusion to Monica after a childhood accident. The exposure gives Maria cancer in the long run, but powers monica?

I mean by the last episode. A lot of folks were not down with the early episodes. But in other fora most of the people who kept watching got on board. I wonder if there was a drop off in viewership?

Dottie not hot enough to be Emma frost

You might be the only one dude!

Because he is one of the x-men people like, particularly kids. He is my kids' favorite out of all the kids.

Jackman has said a zillion times he is done with wolverine.

Seems like Bad Idea has some bad ideas! Just produce a good comic and sell it. Why all this B.S.? If it is a hit, then fantastic. If it fails... well, I've seen a lot of companies with good comic production values fail and not fail after a couple of good years like Crossgen. A few years ago at NYCC there was a company giving away tons of free product. They were coming in strong and had like 6 or 7 titles. They all looked really good. How long did they last? (I need to go find them.)

Those rules seem like a good incentive not to carry their comics at all. What you order for #1 is your forced order for the rest of eternity? You need to put these comics in the best sport in store? What's the big deal about this comic? Are they just trying to create buzz and perceived scarcity?

And no way that was on 47th street. First off, no way anyone could pay by check or whatever he is doing. It would be cash.

He is a crappy artist though. I imagine he must be good at meeting deadlines? If so, why is he wasting time with weird extraneous background ?

Yea, nobody else looks at this stuff before it is published? Back in the 70s when 85% of the editorial staff at Marvel was Jewish, they would have caught this.

One might chalk it up to a Brazilian not really understanding why this is offensive by U.S. standards, but he has been here a long time, he should know.

A lot of Jews are in that business here in NYC, I don't see it as necessarily being antisemitic, but all the other stuff is just bizarre, and points in that direction. Maybe he thinks Jewish owned Jewelry stores put giant Stars of David in their windows? And, of course, it is now being listed for $30-$50+ on ebay. Maybe he put it in there on purpose, got 500 copies for himself on the cheap, and is now selling them on ebay? Of course, I buy 2 copies of the earlier, the diner cover, because I liked it... the attempts to paint that cover as racist kind of failed though

Given that Agnes is seemingly somewhat aware of what is going on and is not under complete Wanda-control (if at all), my theory is this..... Agnes (Agatha) meets Wanda post End Game. Perhaps Wanda becomes interested in magic, maybe at a grief counseling group, who the heck knows. And Agnes/Agatha helps her to manifest her powers to create her happy reality and gets sucked into it. Which is sort of House of M, kind of. And maybe there is Mephisto working behind the scenes with Agnes, I dunno. And yeah, Mephisto is not going to be played by a red creepy guy. We might see a 1 second flash of that, but they'll have a creepy looking actor playing him. That's my guess. Unless Loki is just messing with everyone. As for who our braniac scientist is. my guess is Reed Richards. He can pretty much do anything, Stark is dead, and I don't see them bringing Banner into the show. This is the slow burn for getting other Marvel properties into the MCU.

Of course, magneto would be in his late 80s if not early 90s now. so sir ian looks the right age, but not to be their father (I guess anything is possible, of course). otoh, who says magneto ages like a normal human, so why not fassbender?

"But I think he hex-bubble has torn a hole in reality or weakened the barriers, and now we're getting a bleed-thru - ergo 'New Pietro!'" She cannot reanimate the dead (vision being a synthroid is another story), but she can pluck a multiverse version of the dead and suck him into her's, apparently.

Then there's the other small handful of shows that don't quite fit elsewhere, Cloak and Dagger, and Runaways. Cloak and Dagger is really ambitious for a young adult show. It hits some serious themes like mental illness, murder, drug abuse, and human trafficking. It's a VERY slow burn through most of the first season, but I dont think it kills it, and when they start using their powers more frequently things get going. Season 2 is far superior with a lot of cool action sequences and set pieces and a decent villain. There are direct references back and forth between it and Luke Cage season 2 on Netflix. Runaways is good, it definitely plays like a teen drama. The ensemble cast is decent, and in the third season theres a crossover with Cloak and Dagger, so that's a bonus. There's also a connection to Agents of Shield, so it really ties all the shows together. Lastly there's Helstrom which got abandoned, so everyone says it doesn't count. I enjoyed it and if the rest of the horror based shows for Hulu hadn't been scrapped it would've collided and connected with all the other Marvel tv shows too. ----- One of these days I will watch Cloak & Dagger. I tried episode 1 and fell asleep. I'm not sure i can do multiple seasons of RUnaways though. I like Hellstrom thus far. I am about half way through. I am pissed off my wife refuses to watch it because it is based on a comic book when it is in line with Supernatural and a million other shows she enjoys. Sticking it off on Hulu was dumb. I know they wanted to bolster Hulu, but Disney+ was content deprived already. If they had put it on Disney+ it wouldn't have been cancelled. Yes, it is a slow burn. Was it considered to gorey and scarey for Disney+? I dropped out of Legion after 4 episodes. I tried watching it again the other night, but fell asleep again. I didn't think it was bad, per se, just a tough watch late at night.

clearly Agnes has some control over things, at least her own role in it

The resurrection has a 2 season fallout on the show. .. it has big ramifications.

It is fine. They had to figure out a way to stretch out plots for 20 or whatever episode seasons of a nearly hour show, so there is a lot of forced confluct and cliche, but it moves along, at least thus far

Wanda is 26 if you have her at 31 in the present day. She was dust in the phantom zone or whatever for 5 years. Fassbender could easily be 50 and her dad.

Or maybe just Matt Murdock as it sounds like Peter may need a lawyer.... (Let's hope it is better than the time Daredevil teamed up with the Hulk to defeat the Kingpin in that great made for TV movie from the 80s...)

SHIELD is happening in the world with the movies. It is referencing events in the movies. It has multiple characters in the movies and the show played by the same actors. Lady Sif, played by the same actrerss as in the Thor movies, shows up on earth and hangs out with Coulson while dealing with some undercover Kree! They are watching the events of Age of Ultron on TV while it is happening! ... at least through season 3 it seems pretty apparent that they are a sideshow to the movies...don't spoil the rest for me if that disconnects!!! (OK, I will admit that SHIELD does deviate from the movies a little at this point because Nick Fury is not out and about on the show, while he is in the movies) I know, the Netflix world is different, maybe, though they also refer to the events in the movies, so, while not cannon per se, the Netflix shows exist in a world where all the events of Avengers 1 occurred at the very least and we have a Spiderman swinging around the city. And, frankly, nothing really happened in them that has any impact on any of the Marvel movies timelines or plots. Hellcat is sent to the Raft at the end of Jessica Jones, which does seem to imply some connection to the MCU as well. update: ok, sorry, i see others pointed this out
