VERY serious.

Man, the MCU is by far the best franchise that exists at the moment. The one to take down is all that Star Wars bullshit.

Frederik B otm.
im looking forward to Black Panther. i've had a good time w every Marvel movie so far, even the forgettable ones. it is good on them to have been able to maintain such a high level of quality across so many films.
other studios do not seem confident in their material, hence all the lamp-shading, all the hyping, all the fascistic consumer propaganda & iconography. we have the constant re-iteration of how important the iconography is. DC/SW films are about collecting action figures. Marvel movies are more in the vein of Big Trouble in Little China.
last Marvel film i saw was GOTG2 at a drive in (it rained through the bit where they were flying in spacepods, which was kind of cool actually) and it was so much fun. the first one is great too. i think the two GOTG movies are worth the entire mess of it and are so far the best of the bunch. GOTG1/2 probably better than any Star Wars since ROTJ.

Yeah there was word about that going around the other day, if not these screenwriter specifics. Presumption is that with the Inhumans having been botched they're switching over to this.

The poop is that they may already be making plans for X-characters, in much the same way that they apparently charged headlong into Civil War before the Spidey deal had been finalized.

Honestly, in 2-4 years, I think the right X-adjacent ensemble storyline to adapt is going to be New Mutants / Alpha Flight style - what do you do when you’re just A superhero, not THE superhero? I’d much prefer that over spending another dime on watching Wolverine or one of his GMO offspring get turned into pasta and then turn back into a person

I mean Warlock is a PERFECT way to step up the Groot game. Get H. Jon Benjamin and a vocoder and get it done.

I'd crack up if we got an Alpha Flight movie. Just watch, someone is pitching a series to CBS All Access or some other online network right now
New Mutants is coming out this summer! (with Dark Phoenix... Again? in the fall)

And I think Warlock is in the New Mutants movie? Young me is very excited, old me is dubious.

Saw 98% of Deadpool 2 today (had to slip out a hair early). It's been a while since I saw a totally plotless movie, but there we go. Obviously wildly indulgent but also sort of surprisingly boring, which both add up to (generously) about 1/10 gags being amusing/funny, which I suppose was to be expected.

Comedian Scott Adsit is a recurring character/SHIELD agent in the Deadpool comic, if this tells you anything.
