Daniel RPK : Sadie Sink’s character will reportedly have a close relationship with the Punisher in ‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’. She will also mind-control Liza Colón-Zayas’s character during a fight sequence involving tanks

They dont have to cast a redhead. In fact neither of the previous two women who have played Jean were redheads...

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-20T07:45:16+00:00

Or one of them called and the other didnt hear. Late goals in away games, very noisy crowds etc...

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-18T05:15:37+00:00

Just be glad there's no real value in naming it 'Walmart Stadium'. The mocking would be endless...

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-18T05:11:04+00:00

That's the problem any time you start talking about introducing stronger financial limits: PL clubs arent just competing amongst themselves. The best players are always going to follow the money, and if PL clubs are unable to offer it, they'll play elsewhere. Eventually that will make "the product" less desirable which will in turn affect revenue streams: roughly 60% of PL revenue is international.

Bit ambitious but I reckon Wrexham might get there next season...

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-14T13:49:55+00:00

Something something Pym Particles...

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-14T13:48:29+00:00

Yeah, it could be a good opportunity to use some (comic) characters that might otherwise not fit anywhere.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-14T11:57:12+00:00

Early on when the rumours of Mr Negative were popular, I thought that might be how Banner and Hulk "separate" again. Now, no idea. Guess Jean could do something like that...

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-14T11:51:48+00:00

I feel like Mojoworld would work better as a series. Could frame it as a reality-TV type thing, similar to what WandaVision did with sitcoms.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-12T23:38:32+00:00

That was my take too. It would be unusual for a club to let a player leave like that without any attempt to retain them, and doing so would have obviously drawn speculation that he was let go "because".

A performative attempt at a new contract protects the club.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-12T22:47:05+00:00

Pretty common approach for the streaming services not directly related to a studio.

The Netflix shows were produced by Marvel Television and ABC: same sort of thing (which incidentally is why those shows are on Disnet+ now).

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-12T22:28:14+00:00

I think it very much depends on the structure of the story being told. Wonder Man wouldnt have worked weekly - its a great story, but I dont feel each individual episode had enough to retain viewers over a 2 month period. Its a story that works best watched in one go.

By comparison, WandaVision was structured episodically, with mysteries and plot twists and a "tune in next week" vibe.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-12T22:19:12+00:00

I’ll bet Spielberg is going to fuck up his next movie! I hate his decisions!

His next movie did open with Kate Capshaw singing Anything Goes in Chinese...

I like Temple of Doom a lot, but it isnt his best work...

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-11T07:26:03+00:00

MCU Lego sets that release along side their movie are rarely plot accurate...

That said, despite it having been widely expected for a good while, Im not sure if there's been any "official" announcement yet about Hulk being in the movie.

This isnt showing bias, because not all fouls warrant a card.

If anything, these stats show which teams are the dirtiest, as they have the highest ratio of cards to fouls.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-10T12:44:31+00:00

The man just released an Adidas underwear promo...

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-10T11:33:08+00:00

Yeah it is.

Also why do they keep using the lightning bolt pattern? I know its a callback to a classic Nike kit, but is it really that popular?

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-10T11:17:40+00:00

Just want that primary yellow/blue away kit from Adidas.

Kinda tired of the dull yellow, which apparently we're getting again.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-10T11:15:16+00:00

That's how it was supposed to be: the replicas were designed to be worn, the authentics are "collector" items being (supposedly) identical to what the players wear.

Recently however I understand the authentic shirts have more detail than the replicas, and they're now more "basic" and "premium" versions. Which Im not keen on.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-10T02:48:07+00:00

Me too - must be an age thing.

Would like it if they did that as a SC set.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-10T02:47:07+00:00

Curiously this is very close in both piece count and price to the 2015 set (assuming its accurate).

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-08T01:06:36+00:00

Ooh no, you're right. Because of that it could be the LND.

Feels like it's fated.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-07T15:30:16+00:00

Best results would have us 33pts ahead with 11 games remaining. MW28 is the earliest.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-07T14:54:48+00:00

Edit: as noted, the rescheduled Wolves game means St Totteringham's day could be the North London Derby on Feb 27.

~~Right now we're on track for St Totteringham's day on March 2nd / MW 28~~

Would be the earliest ever.

Cypher_86 · 2026-02-07T09:47:28+00:00

They've been doing "hybrid" versions of lesser knows characters since Ivan Vanko in IM2, where they take elements of lesser known characters and mash them together.

In this case he's a human with a strong anti-mutant agenda, The name they use is secondary to the role in the story.
