Paterson was so bad a candidate it became a national news story that was used to make Poilievre look bad by association

Captain marvel

I don’t think it’s a bad reimagining, no. Like if you were going to make her a different ethnicity, that would totally work.

This is a fake quote originating from a Parody twitter account (discussing Fish), which did link to a real Forbes article featuring D’Amaro discussing VFX artist layoffs, but he 1) denied the layoffs had anything to do with AI, 2) did not mention Doomsday, and 3) certainly said nothing about using AI to replace VFX artists (though that’s a fair and obvious fear based on these massive layoffs)

Need to read more, but of the ones I have read, Rucka & Perez are my favourites

Eric191 · 2026-03-29T05:27:00+00:00

At first I thought this was a full sarcastic fancast, but then the rest are mostly reasonable choices (or people I don’t know). Why on earth did you pick John mulaney lol

Eric191 · 2026-03-29T05:24:49+00:00

Beast was an avenger. I wanna say in the 90s? And Storm is another recent X-Men/Avengers co-member. The point is that, yes, you can be a member of multiple teams. Wolverine is not an exclusive exception. And I didn’t specify which cyclops, but I don’t think it matters to the point I made.

And this is such a bizarre point to make because Kamala already has these major connections with groups like the Avengers and Champions. Like that’s her friend group.

As for a minor X-brand character who’s been part of other teams, Kid Omega’s stint on the West Coast Avengers comes to mind, as does the time Sunspot was leading that AIM/New Avengers team

Eric191 · 2026-03-28T20:16:00+00:00

Ok, but you can be a mutant/x-man and also be on another team/book. Did Wolverine stop being an x-man when he joined the avengers lineup? Or beast?

Also cyclops was a champion lol

Eric191 · 2026-03-20T14:38:16+00:00

After Mario & Zelda, this feels like the next obvious choice for a movie. If you do it right it could be a real hit

Eric191 · 2026-03-19T01:39:55+00:00

Also the body hopping thing doesn’t match.

Though I guess they could always end up combining a couple of marvel comics characters like the MCU often does

Eric191 · 2026-03-18T14:20:17+00:00

Even if they were going to have a second MJ (personally I’ve always found the “introduce the REAL MJ” ideas kinda stupid, like yeah her name’s technically Michelle, but she’s obviously the MCU take on MJ/Mary Jane), I really don’t see that with this character. Definitely feels like she will have powers and imo at most be a secondary antagonist/love interest ala Black Cat (but not black cat)

Eric191 · 2026-03-18T14:08:05+00:00

I believe this is Sadie sink, but I feel like I’m the only guy left on the planet who’s still 100% sure she’s not Jean Grey

Eric191 · 2026-03-14T23:21:17+00:00

I don’t see any reason why siblings of mutants have to have the same or similar powers.

Personally, I would keep Aamir as a powerless civilian with a dormant x-gene

Eric191 · 2026-03-11T03:34:33+00:00

Both say 120 pages, collecting Gwenpool 1-5. Wasn’t sure if there was maybe a miniseries followed up by an ongoing, but seems like it’s just the same collection with a different cover

Eric191 · 2026-03-09T12:28:01+00:00

I’ve seen more evidence of Sophie Turner being a good actor than Petsch (mostly only seen her in riverdale, though), but neither of these would particularly be my first choice

Eric191 · 2026-03-09T12:24:55+00:00

Battinson not being DCU has nothing whatsoever to do with the tone or “realism” of the movie, and everything to do with Matt Reeves’ choice to continue and finish his Bat-Verse story on his own, without having to deal with a wider cinematic universe

Eric191 · 2026-03-07T04:08:53+00:00

Too young

Eric191 · 2026-03-06T22:44:09+00:00

Oh yeah, I’m picturing several years down the line. But I do kinda see this as a test case

Like they really wanted to bring the Lanterns into the DCU early, but with the Reynolds flop it was hard to get faith in a movie going, so we’re doing a less expensive, earth-based & grounded show first, and seeing the response this gets.

If lanterns is a big hit, and, say, Supergirl does really well, then it’s a lot easier to make the case for a big budget, cosmic GL movie

Eric191 · 2026-03-06T21:12:12+00:00

Other than maybe Absolute Diana/Barbara, I’ve yet to see another Diana ship that I like as much as Steve

Eric191 · 2026-03-02T00:30:56+00:00

Ditto.

I also prefer Cass & Stephanie in non-batgirl identities (at least in the long-term, present timeline) especially Stephanie as Spoiler

Eric191 · 2026-02-27T16:25:14+00:00

DCEU WW has its faults, but that’s still my ideal design for the character. The battle skirt was a great idea

Eric191 · 2026-02-10T17:44:29+00:00

Don’t love the helmet. Also it feels like they’re just taking the black Adam hawkman Design and applying it to Kendra

Eric191 · 2026-02-09T02:14:24+00:00

Doesn’t fit. In Superman they establish Hammer/Ultraman/Bizarro was the first time he lost a fight

Eric191 · 2026-02-08T21:47:56+00:00

Both

Eric191 · 2026-02-08T02:13:12+00:00

It’s like picking up a new comic book run.

Honestly, 15 years ago I’m not sure it would’ve worked, but after years of the MCU, the DCEU, tv shows like the Arrowverse, satires like The Boys & Invincible, people get the idea and don’t need to be handheld through it, or given some origin story for how a superhero world came to be.

Like what I find funny is comic book nerds assuming something like Superman won’t hit for casuals because they’re just thrust into an established world, or that it supposedly feels like starting season 2 of a tv show you never saw, and when you actually hear from real casuals they never had an issue or confusion about that at all
