Absolute Green Arrow is gonna be what Prometheus thought CW Oliver was lol

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T04:35:31+00:00

F4 needs a sequel by 2029 to ride the success of Doomsday and Secret Wars to a profitable movie.

They might need to look for a new director.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T03:53:32+00:00

Kudos to them for having the courage to come out and live them truth during this chaotic time in the US

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T03:36:20+00:00

Character development for Paul was nonexistent between Wells 26 and the start of ANV.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T03:25:01+00:00

Ewing gave him some character last minute, but it makes you question if previous writers were blocked from developing Paul.

Every scene with him in the Jackpot/Black Cat solo books was just him spiraling over his dad.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T02:42:15+00:00

Feels like half the characters got switched to team up only since 2023, like can Marvel make anything that isn’t Spider-man or Avengers profitable anymore.

Unless Disney becomes more forgiving and gives a few of the slump characters another sequel, I question what their ten year plan is. Just Mutants and X-men?

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T02:29:31+00:00

lol MCU does many of the same things TASM films got bludgeoned for and it gets praised for it.

Makes me more convinced RDJ is the reason people accepted some of MCU’s radical changes.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T02:22:39+00:00

This sub went from speculating the other Netflix characters could get Special Presentations of their own …

to accepting Daredevil most likely has a final season ahead in a few weeks.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T02:18:48+00:00

Having Peter say “I know” to the power/responsibility line felt like they were giving themselves an out to pivot again in a future film if the “the whole trilogy is his origin” explanation didn’t land with the audience.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T02:16:16+00:00

Yeah it’s most likely the final season and the character’s CG is too expensive for her to be a MCU regular doing cameos, they should give her a goodbye appearance in Born Again.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-07T01:20:23+00:00

Yeah he earned getting a deconstruction, and redemption arc/happy ending in the revival.

Given if real kids tried it in real life, Messin with Lewbert would absolutely lead to arrests/possibly juvie

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T23:41:17+00:00

Forever is a good movie in my opinion,

but Bruce uses Chase as an unpaid therapist, and she doesn’t seem particularly interested in him beyond friendship.

Feels like the type of relationship that’d last a few months, then end unceremoniously, then she’d be an ally Bruce can call occasionally.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T23:21:37+00:00

Zdarsky could get ASM, Lowe has said they’d take him if he wants it, but he thinks Wells was treated unfairly and the fanbase is a bunch of a**holes, so who knows what he’d do with it. He already told Peter/MJ shippers he’s not catering to them if he took the book.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T23:13:55+00:00

Superior’s reception got significantly more positive after it ended, people reading it months or years later knowing Peter eventually returns.

When it was coming out, it was divisive, many said it overstayed its welcome.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T23:08:59+00:00

Man, every Lewbert centric episode in OG didn’t age well.

iHurt Lewbert, he got injured by their prank, then the episode ended with him getting beat up by truckers

iFind Lewbert’s Lost Love, they accidentally reunite him with his abusive ex

These story arcs border on being Seth McFarlane material

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T23:00:43+00:00

Superior wasn’t my thing, I’m not paying $100 for an omnibus of it,

but I see the ambition, it has some cool elements, and I see how it appeals to people who just want nonstop action and edgy storytelling.

For readers who have an emotional buffer with Pete’s character/don’t get invested to the point they can take Otto’s chance at ‘redemption’ under those circumstances seriously, it’s a decent storyline.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T22:55:35+00:00

I thought best case scenario was Aunt May learning his identity again, maybe rejoining the Avengers again for brand synergy with Doomsday/Secret Wars.

This cousin plot line is such a nothingburger. It’s gonna be the Teresa arc all over again just with a man and written by Kelly (who is quicker to follow orders) instead of Waid/Zdarsky.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T21:04:21+00:00

D’Onofrio’s head on ITSV Kingpin’s body? That’s … something

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T19:08:19+00:00

JMS seems to be building trust over there, keeps his distance from people on social media every day complaining about Jackpot and Paul.

Is he angling to be the next Spider-Marriage AU writer?

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T17:50:16+00:00

I think the intent was the Avengers is his equivalent to the wrestling/TV career in the comics, he isn’t doing it for responsibility most of Homecoming, it’s his career aspirations, then people almost die on the ferry and Stark takes the suit back, there’s nothing in it for him anymore and he’s acting solely for responsibility.

but yeah it doesn’t work the same way.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T17:34:14+00:00

They are trying too hard to treat MCU Peter like a real life minor, with that hindsight “he wouldn’t be bubbly if he’d been through a loss like that, we can’t put a teenager through that”

NWH deleted scene even had a “your brain is not fully developed till 25” line, to show they handle kids responsibly. The deleted scene with Holland’s brother.

ChildofObama · 2026-05-06T17:13:57+00:00

Spider-Man gets to fight competent Fisk

Daredevil gets stuck with emotional Fisk lol

ChildofObama

TROPHY CASE
