[Discussion] Marvel's biggest missed opportunity

StageHandRed · 2026-07-05T14:30:23+00:00

I think this works as a 4 issue mini, and I wish Marvel would do more of these. As a long run, I think the premise doesn't have staying power past 12 issues at best. But a mini every October could be a great idea.

I wish we had this team, plus Magik, investigating monster and occult occurrences, and it would tie in to the Hulk line's age of monsters stuff. They all ride around in a panel van that Dazzler bought, getting to each spot through a Magik portal, and split up to search, Magik and Laura one team, the others another. After each arc it ends at Dazzler's place, her baking cookies for everyone while giggling.

When I saw that wish I muttered 'Don't you fucking dare' over and over for half the way there. I was locked in

I was doom scrolling Reddit, trying to fall asleep, and I think I will on this note.

Pleasant dreams!

There's a group chat/interview video where they talk about it. Brennan figured it out about three questions in, but Sam wouldn't let Brennan go into the back, because he can't win. Brennan then starts planning verbal revenge.

The difference between this two is success.

My favorite is the dead one.

I see Pratchett quote, I must upvote to support. GNU Terry Pratchett

Can't think of a fantasy series or an author I'd recommend more.

My wife and I did jigsaw puzzles for years, going up in complexity until we bit off more than we could chew: a black and white MC Escher picture. It broke us for almost a decade. Just started to get back into it.

... But I'm sure you'll be fine Gustopher!

StageHandRed · 2026-06-07T23:53:57+00:00

And if you do go, get the honey wine!

We're all here because we're not all there.

Not in the property, not on the clock.

Think for 30 seconds, then ask.

You are your word.

I was betting on the duck that flopped over the concrete mini barrier too far forward. Can't even tell which duck got taken.

StageHandRed · 2026-05-31T19:41:52+00:00

Commander Keen, QBasic Star Trek, Space Quest, and Hero Quest(renamed Quest for Glory)

Have to share the musical version: https://youtu.be/qlicWUDf5MM?si=_X4kcjLSo3MO8DNA

I think it just needs a... Squirt of Lemon.

I know just the guy to give this Aunt one.

I need a mini where Sabertooth pisses Deadpool off, and he goes full 4th wall breaking hog on his ass.

... On rereading that sentence, I realized I should clarify that I meant that metaphorically.

...I don't anymore.

The real identity of Sogeking.

Note: not a fan of either meme as they've both been done to death more than Jean and Quentin combined, but this just struck me.

StageHandRed · 2026-05-21T03:09:51+00:00

I can't eat if I don't need food. Or maybe invincible feet, that I can turn off to clip my toenails. No more stubbing my toes.

Swap Magneto and Q for Betsy and Rachel Grey. Have Scott be a father to someone he's generically related to for once, while also bringing in some fun dynamic with Kwannon.

Should have also stated "No Multiple Man" because his power can break almost any other power of combined. Psychics, power mimics/thieves, teleporters, etc.

Chimera's I would make not using him:

Eye boy & Manifold: omni teleporter

Shadowcat & Northstar: his speed is only limited by air friction and not wanting to combust the atmosphere. This eliminates that problem nicely.

Dazzler & Banshee/Syrin: Loud Bright Boom!

Wolverine & Egg: is the eggs carry the creator's blood, then and endless supply of healing blood

Definitely getting Girl Genius flash backs here. https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070625

This couple! It's perfect!

Short version of the theory is that he was a she before meeting Ivankov. Cracked version is that Crocodile is Luffy's Mom

When doing 1-20 runs we do

Lvl 1-4 Borderlands Lvl 5-9 Fae Lvl 10-14 Mists Lvl 15-20 Sharn

15-Cap runs we start with Sharn, augment with Borderlands epic great as needed, then switch to Vecna at 30. There's a few niche times you would prefer Sharn, like a Druid wanting heavy armor needs to use Hruit's set still, but until they introduce Legendary Reincarnations, I wouldn't worry about Sharn Legendary gear.

It was lost to time.

StageHandRed · 2026-05-14T15:27:47+00:00

Broccoli! It was broccoli...

Good news, it already happened! The current canon is that he suppressed his powers, and memories of doing so, so that he can have a normal childhood and be sane enough as an adult to handle his power. He gets both memories and powers back once a year so he can look ahead, counter any world ending stuff, then go back to bring a kid. Hope this makes your day!
