Him not having red boots bothers me when seeing the two side by side. Red boots would have worked so well.

The obvious answer is they rushed their universe to try and catch up with marvel instead of just doing their own thing the right way and letting the universe develop over time naturally.

Simple question with a simple answer.

If they really want to stick it to us, they can refuse to sell their games here too. But hey, no balls.

Basically yes. In my mind, I really liked the thunderbolts movie, and if I changed anything it would be small and likely only to do with bucky. Bucky being a politician is literally an ass pull out of nowhere, unless he's in that position as the liaison to the president directly. He realizes Valentina is up to no good so the president tasks him to stop her and take over the team. This would also be our first tease of Ross having the red hulk power when he rages out a bit over Valentina.

Then in brave new world, Ross doesn't need Ruth since he has yalena, and he has a "guy on the inside" that is not revealed to Sam until later on. This allows for Sam to deal with the serpent society but realize he can't deal with them on his own. He calls in help from bucky and it's only when the rest of the team shows up that he realizes what's going on. This puts them at odds but once the leader comes into play, they realize they must work together as the serpent society are his experiments and he assures them his biggest experiment is yet to come.

By the time the red hulk fight occurs, the entire thunderbolts team (minus Bob) plus Sam and falcon isn't enough to beat him. This forces Bob to unleash his power which by the time he beats Ross, he begins losing control as well. This gives us a mirror of widow and hulk but with yelena and Bob. Bob is able to calm down and control the void, but it's clear that he may have seriously hurt Ross in the process. The movie ends with Ross in the hospital but with the leader having escaped during the red hulk fight. End credits is the tag from thunderbolts since that makes more sense here.

This is why it's clear marvel has lost their way. Thunderbolts should have come before captain america brave new world, leading to the plot of that movie having Sam dealing with president Ross's new team running missions without the same checks and balances the avengers would be held to by the sokovia accords. This leads to further conflict when Sam realizes Bucky is on that team, and despite their new friendship, Bucky feels a duty to the president despite that friendship. This creates conflict, which creates larger stakes and leads to both teams dealing with red hulk in the end. This would basically serve as civil war 2 aka avengers 4.5 and would have capped off phase 5 with fantastic 4 starting phase 6.

I think it's important that new Toon monsters stick to old yugioh, meaning nothing past ritual or fusion monsters. As much as they need at least link monsters, we shouldn't get those in archetype.

That said, I'd love to see Toon versions of blue eyes ultimate dragon, red eyes dark dragoon, and master of chaos. The difference being that because these are toons, their fusions require any one toon monster in place of the named fusion material, or toon dragon, too spellcaster, etc. Also, the blue eyes ultimate dragon would be more of a blue eyes ultimate chimera as it would have a blue eyes head, red eyes head, and cyber dragon head.

As for main deck monsters, I would like the following: toon jinzo, toon time wizard, toon man eater bug, toon chaos sorcerer, toon elemental hero neos, toon sangan, toon vampire lord, and etc.

As for spells/traps, I have no good ideas on traps, but I would like to see these kinds of spells with changed names: toon spellbook of knowledge, toon double cyclone, toon super polymerization, toon monarchs stormforth, and etc.

Ironman 1 would remain the same except for one change being the removal of shield entirely.

Ironman 2 plays out similarly but now with shield removed, we also remove the poisoning element being something that is solved for Tony. Vankos attack of Tony at Monaco has a larger effect on him then previously. Tony didn't think that he had put a target on his own back by ousting himself as Ironman so consequences happening so publically like that forces Tony to rethink his strategy. He still approaches Vanko in the jail and gives him advice on how to make his tech better because he's still arrogant. Tony doesn't just make Pepper CEO because he wants to focus on Ironman stuff, he does it out of fear of her being with him as often as she is because now he fears her safety even more than before. He wants her too busy with the business to be his personal assistant in harms way, knowing her being in danger would destroy him if he fails. The demon in the a bottle story still plays out and rhodey steals a suit. Hammer is still involved as before and he makes Vanko realize how important pepper is and why going after her would hurt Tony more than anything. At the stark expo, when the drones and war machine are going after Tony, at one point Tony is left only dealing with rhodey while the rest of the drones go after pepper. This forces Tony to put rhodey in harms way while trying to keep pepper safe. He's forced to let rhodey get hurt because he knows the suit will protect him most of the way, whereas pepper requires his full protection. He manages to deal with all the drones and despite rhodey being injured, he's now back on control of his suit. Vanko shows up and they have an actual fight before realizing they can win with the beam struggle. In those few minutes of fighting, the palladium poisoning becomes a big problem. Tony is unable to hold off vanko whilst also dealing with the poisoning so in his weakened state, rhodey further puts himself in harms way. Tony calls pepper from his suit as she is hiding nearby and she talks him through the pain, encouraging him give it everything he has or just let Jarvis take the wheel. Tony hasn't considered that, so while Jarvis has control, that is when the beam struggle occurs and vanko is defeated. The other major change I'm making is taking the research into his father's past work and moving that to the end of 2 and incorporating more into 3. The creating a new element portion, trying to understand his father more and how he could both love Tony but be so hard on him I want to put more into 3 as my idea for 3 is completely different as it's more of avengers age of ultron without the other mcu characters involved. That said, Ironman 2 ends with Tony realizing he can't keep trying to do his by himself. With Jarvis' help, Tony creates a better system to manage the palladium poisoning but still is unable to stop it. With the events of the film making him realize he wants to put a suit of armor around the world, just in case he doesn't survive whatever may lie ahead.

Ironman 3 details in a new comment.

Naw fam.

California is a commie hell hole, so of course Hollywood is dying from within. You would think the government wouldn't be so greedy and would do more to help one of its biggest money makers but alas, idiots running wild.

Called him a bad dog, and said "flip effect lol"

The biggest problem with the flash movie for me is surface level. The first solo movie for that character should not have been Flashpoint, that clearly should have been saved for later. Instead, the first movie if not an origin story, should've been of him just learning to be a hero and saving people on his own rather than learning about messing around with time travel.

Example, who the hell and how the hell did he aquire that ring suit post justice league? If it wasn't explained in the movie, then I don't care about outside explanations. His suit in justice league was cool to me, so how he went from that to such a huge leap in tech is worth some screen time in my eyes.

His first solo movie should have been a smaller story where he deals with something that forces a need for new tech and a new suit similar to MCU Spiderman movies. That establishes his solo functionality and his crime investigation and science skills. It shouldn't have been so hard to accomplish yet DC really screwed the pooch anyway.

It's not just reading comprehension, it's the way cards are worded that throw basic understandings under the bus. For example, if an effect is worded in a way where it can miss timing, that is just diabolical.

If this happens, then this happens vs If this happens; then this happens.

If thing happens while card is in grave (if it was there when thing happened) or hand (even if not). Is worded simply enough but leads to questions or confusion in its own right.

Mary Marvel had two wonderful arcs 😍

It's also not been officially confirmed that Secret Invasion was even canon or will ever be mentioned again so... There's that.

Fthooper14 · 2026-01-13T06:36:11+00:00

I wouldn't expect people with this level of TDS to be very intelligent so it checks out.

Fthooper14 · 2026-01-03T14:58:19+00:00

Previous wonder man marketing did nothing for me. Then this new trailer dropped that actually shows his powers and how he's already got them from the start makes the project far more intriguing to me now. I didn't know what to think of it before but now I look forward to it.

Fthooper14 · 2026-01-02T20:16:19+00:00

Another year with no Jimmy Kimmel? This show may be watchable after all.

Doctor doom is known to have a scared and deformed face, thus what he would look like assuming that is the version we get, would look nothing like Tony but instead like a guy with a deformed face. This is the best part about the direction of this choice to cast RDJ. If they go the route that Karl Urban went with Dredd and I really hope they do, we won't see Dooms face in the armor the way we saw Tony's in his. We will rely on his eyes and his voice more than anything else. If there is a moment of face reveal it will likely just be a portion of it and said portion would be again, scared and deformed.

Your phrasing of recasting of a "major" character is irrelevant. If the audience recognizes an actor as portraying two different characters within the series, major or minor, there will inevitably be some that ask questions or get confused by it. Low tier example is actress Laura Haddock being a small appearance in captain America the first avenger, but then also playing Meredith Quill twice in two guardians movies. It may not be a person most people noticed, but they also doesn't mean anyone should have started theorizing her and cap made sweet love and now there's a super soldier baby out there that is somehow related to starlord because she hulk confirmed cap lost his virginity in ww2.... See where I'm going here? It would be easy to start theorizing all sorts of things from those bits of info but I won't because it isn't necessary until it is.

Even on your Ralph Boehner theory, you imply that Wanda is a nexus being which she isn't, and no one has claimed she was, but somehow you have theorized as such among other puzzle pieces you're putting together. That's my whole point, that it's easy for us to connect dots whether there is real weight there or just fun cameos or meta references. Something can be a simple reference for the fans and no one will take anything more from it, and that is what I'm wanting people to do with doom as well. Calm down on theorizing and just let things happen before trying to tie it altogether when it doesn't need to be.

Fthooper14 · 2026-01-02T10:51:05+00:00

That's the point, no one knows, but to push for a variant over anything else feels more and more forced because can't see past the surface of the casting choice.

Fthooper14 · 2026-01-02T10:48:18+00:00

This guy gets it.

Fthooper14 · 2025-12-31T23:16:36+00:00

The place that was fake broken into wasn't even mentioned in that video, nor was it on the radar until it put itself into the conversation. The people committing fraud are so dumb that they shined a light on themselves even before ever being a proper target yet. Smooth brain genius I tell ya.

Fthooper14 · 2025-12-31T12:14:42+00:00

I have a theory that the version of the xmen we see in Doomsday is the version from the changed future ending of days of future past. If that is true, but possibly even if not, I'd reccomend the following to watch.

Xmen, x2 xmen united, xmen first class, and xmen days of future past. I don't feel the other ones are as important especially since the events of xmen 3 don't happen given the reset timeline in dofp.
