John Reilly Dies: Veteran Actor For ‘General Hospital’ And Other Soaps Was 84
Relevant because he was also the voice of Hawkeye on the 90’s Iron Man animated series.

Sounds good but runs the risk of a story based around Doom hacking into the Four’s social media to discredit them and boost his own follower numbers.
And in the end, Reed outsmarts him and Doom is deplatformed.
DOOM insists that cancel culture has gone too far!

Kevin Feige Confirms ‘Deadpool 3’ Is an MCU Movie; Teases R-Rating and When It’s Filming
I felt like the Deadpool schtick got worn out pretty fast in the second movie, but I wonder whether the MCU might give it the material it needs to feel fresh again. A roast of the entire franchise might be quite fun.

Namely, people are used to movie-level presentation for these characters. How do you do that on a TV budget? Shorter eps.
Feige says the first three are all about 30 mins, but it starts to vary after that.

Kevin Feige talks Disney+ episode length:
“Well, we’re looking a little differently. We’re looking at it as developing them as either six hour-episodes, or nine or 10 half-hour episodes,” said Feige. “So, for instance, WandaVision started that way and Falcon and the Winter Soldier as 30 minutes, but because it’s streaming, it’s Disney+, and the rules have blurred over the years, yes. Some can be 23 minutes. Some can be much longer than that. But She-Hulk, for instance, is being developed as 10 30-minute episodes. Some will be longer and some will be shorter. Loki, Falcon and the Winter Soldier is being developed as six 40-50-minute episodes.”
Moon Knight will also fall into the 6 x 40-50 minute format.

I mean, I don’t mind the variable lenght, it’s a good idea to adjust your runtime according to your script instead than to a hard lenght format… the problem is 20 mins is rather short for that type of show. It kinda worked with the mandalorian ’cause that show is just filler sprinkled with fan service, but unless they wanna do something as trite as that show, I don’t know if it’s gonna work all that well.
We’ll see I guess…

We’re heading into multiverse territory, so anything goes. May as well throw Matt Salinger’s Cap out there while they’re at it.

Chris Evans just tweeted “news to me!” so it’s possible it was a false alarm.

I assume it’s like Maslany on She-Hulk or Steinfeld on Hawkeye where they contractually can’t confirm anything.
I hope it’s not true though, I’m perfectly fine with his ending.

The new Captain America’s uniform !!
A leak from the toy line of “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier” shows Sam Wilson’s new uniform.
Ugh, so they’re really gonna do that shit, huh? Bummer… I’d really prefer if they made THE FALCON a more prominent/important character, instead of giving him a white man’s left overs… specially since he’s getting a pretty sweet costume update. Like, you want him to have the shield? Fine give him the fuckin shield… just let him be the Falcon, not second-hand diveristy mandated Cap… u_u

Uh, okay, I doubt they’ll be using a villain called “Bushman”.
Maybe they’ll try to be relevant and call him “Trumpman”.

After WandaVision’s slightly offbeat concept, it occurs to me that the Lemire run on Moon Knight would be a great basis to play around with different TV show genres within the series. That could be fun.
Yeah, the whole Steve Gerber line of Man Thing, Howard the Duck and Omega the Unknown really could use a much more eccentric approach.

How Chris Evans Could Realistically Return as Captain America in the MCU
Disney agrees to pay him a ridiculous amount of money and he agrees to let them?

Look, shut up trying to get him to tell you all about himself, okay? He’s said he isn’t in it, and that’s that.
…now would you like to know about his current projects, by any chance?

JR, you’ve really gotta be a little more selective about the links you post.
Like this one for example! (WARNING: contains multiple uses of the word penis.)
We talked to Paul Bettany about #WandaVision and ended up with a story about how Joss Whedon wanted Vision to look when he first appeared in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’.
“He was like, ‘He has to have a penis.’”

Which is the better Hulk film?
I preferred Leterrier’s standard direction over Lee’s stylistic (comic-booky) one, and I preferred the Tim Roth antagonist over Nick Nolte’s “bad dad. On the other hand Jennifer Connelly is a better Betty Ross than Liv Tyler. Overall, I’d choose INCREDIBLE HULK over adjectiveless HULK

Yeah, me too. I didn’t like Lee’s Hulk back then. I don’t remember all that much, but I do remember I felt that Lee didn’t do himself any favours by oedipal-ising it all, and that his attempt to use comic point aesthetics completely missed the point of how comics work. (Hint: You don’t take in all the panels at once.) It was taking itself too seriously in a lot of the wrong ways.

Was it “oedipal”? I don’t remember it that well, but I thought they just stole the fact that his dad was emotionally and physically abusive from the comics. (Which incidentally, Bill Mantlo stole from a graphic novel that Barry Windsor-Smith was working on.)
I hated the comic-panel thing though. It was such an obvious and stupid thing to do, and like you said, it showed a complete misunderstanding of the medium.
I may go and re-watch Incredible Hulk now. I watched a whole bunch of MCU movies a while ago, of which Iron Man 2 is the worst by far, but I didn’t watch Incredible, so maybe that title is still up for grabs.

This is all you need to see of Iron Man 2. I actually felt physical pain watching the rest of it.

I found Leterrier’s Hulk to be enjoyable but nothing special.
This is the closest I’ve come to seeing Ang Lee’s Hulk:

If nothing else, you get to watch the great Sam Rockwell stealing every scene he appears in.

Surprisingly, I don’t agree about MoS… it has enough meat in there for it to be worth watching. Or well, at least I thought it explored some interesting (even if not necessarily new) concepts in a clever way.
Ang Lee’s Hulk, not so much… there’s some stuff there, but they decided to bury it under that asinine plot with his father… everything related to Bruce’s father is kinda boring and shit.
About Thanos, well you could say he actually wants people to remember so that they do better next time, but it doesn’t work either, because just a handful of people knew what happened and why…
Also, I’ve changed my mind… well, sort of… I now believe the best MCU movie, when considering them as “stand alone” movies, that is, is Doctor Strange. Close second being GotG1. I’d love to put Winter Soldier up there, but you really need to watch Cap1 first… bummer…

By the way, in INFINITY WAR, if THANOS could erase half the people of the universe from existence,why didn’t he simply erase the memories of those people from the survivors with the mind stone while he was at it? Seems like an obvious option. Let people get on with their lives.
Oh boy, don’t get me started on the problems with “The Snap.” Okay, well you did so…
Here’s my big problem with Endgame – not so much Infinity War, which I loved; it exceeded my expectations in fact – but Endgame? Hooooo boy…
The problem I have is this; why did Cap decide to leave the 5 years after The Snap happened intact? Billions of people suffered a loss that day, and then they mourned their loved ones, and most likely got on with their lives – for the next 5 years. Many of those who lost spouses etc. may have started new relationships, remarried, had children, built a new life for themselves. And now – thanks to the dumbass Avengers, the people they lost are back!
Think of the carnage that will have caused, the heartache! Should they stay with their new partners, get back together with the ones they lost? What about the people who were snapped back into existence? I bet they’re REAL HAPPY they’re back and their wife is married to the next door neighbour who didn’t get snapped that day!
And all of this could have been avoided if they’d just snapped everyone back like they were never gone – but Cap explicitly states that those 5 years should not be erased. So why?
Because Tony Stark had a kid during those 5 years, that’s why. And Hollywood logic states it’s WAY SADDER when someone dies if they have a cute little kid.
So the Avengers caused worldwide, easily avoidable mayhem just so we’d be sad when Tony died. What a bunch of assholes.
Don’t even get me started on the sub-Star Trek revisiting-old-moments-from-MCU-history bullshit, which is nothing but cheap fan-wank.
So to summarise, Infinity War = great, Endgame = festering pile of sewage.

My better half has been watching Bridgerton on Netflix. Not exactly my cup of tea but Regé-Jean Page seems like he would make a fine T’Challa should Marvel go down the recasting route…
-
-
…does Cap explicitly say to not revert the snap? I think I simply interpreted the way it went as, well, that was the best Tony could do.
I just checked and it’s actually Iron Man who says it to Hulk. An hour and one minute in, he says “Everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago, you’re just bringing them back to now, today. Don’t change anything from the last five years.” And Hulk snaps. And then Clint’s phone rings because his wife’s back.

So Tony says it to keep his kid in existence, because, well it’s Tony. And Bruce does it because he’s messed up by Natasha’s death and not thinking things through clearly at that point. Nobody else really has chance to say, “Bruce, stop and think,” because it happens so fast.
It’s a terrible outcome but it’s not a plot hole, it’s all in character and understandable.
Edit: ok, the phone bill thing is a plot hole :D
