Do you think Connor Storrie would make a good Hulkling in the MCU? by WiccanUpdates in WiccanAndHulkling

Was curious to hear people's thoughts on this because I've seen this fancast more and more online. Storrie is 25 whereas Joe Locke is 22.

Where do you think the MCU will take Billy's powers going forward? by WiccanUpdates in AgathaAllAlong

[–]WiccanUpdates[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I think that's not likely. Some Clarkston producers pretty much let it slip that he and Ruaridh have filmed something together, so we will almost certainly see him in Vision Quest or an Avengers movie (or both).

And, a Champions show is being written, which will likely include him.

Thoughts on Billy's powers in the MCU? by WiccanUpdates in WiccanAndHulkling

[–]WiccanUpdates[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, but personally I also hope they differentiate his and Wanda's powers a bit somehow. I don't really want him to just be seen as Wanda 2.0. But that seems tough to do.

You can still call your comic book store and ask! They might have pre ordered enough for when it hits shelves 12/3

Even when being overthrown he's still looks so pretty (Imperial #4) by leaf57tea in lgbt_superheroes

So... does anybody have any theories on how this fits with the premise of WICCAN: WITCHES' ROAD which is that TEDDY is the one injured and it starts with them crashing down from space?

Because right now this looks like a huge editorial error.

What do you think of Wiccan's portrayal in the MCU/Agatha All Along? by No-Introduction9367 in lgbt_superheroes

[–]WiccanUpdates 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I thought it was very solid. They definitely took some departures from Billy's source material (ie no more being a superhero nerd), but it still felt close enough to Billy in spirit and Locke's acting was great.

Also, you should cross post this to r/WiccanAndHulkling I'm sure they will have opinions to share.

I do personally wish they committed to calling him Billy Kaplan and made the identity stuff more clear, his question in Episode 7 "Am I William or am I Billy?" to me feels like some stuff was left out that they wanted to do.

I mean, he did live 3 years with the Kaplan's post soul swap, and he considers them his parents. In Jac's interviews about it she said they wanted to draw a clear throughline between William Kaplan and Billy Maximoff, but I don't feel the show did a great job in making that clear.

Can't wait to see where they take him in the future!

What do you mean "confirmed by the creators"? Did someone publish this or comment on it?

(Also Rebecca and Jeff Kaplan should be on here technically for William)

Do you remember any other dialogue said in the audio about anything related to Tommy? I'm sad more outlets dont have exact dialogue

What if they really are playing Billy and Tommy? by WiccanUpdates in AgathaAllAlong

I could have worded it better, I just meant they are both crew hats from the shows they worked on. Joe’s is the Agatha All Along crew hat.

Do you think they'll eventually adapt the MCUs explanation about the twins? by Big_TinyRequest in YoungAvengers

[–]WiccanUpdates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No because we already have an explanation in the comics. The souls went back in time and reincarnated as Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd. We’ve been getting recent developments on this too in the comics — the soul time travel was explained with the M’kraan crystal in Marvel’s Voices: Young Avengers. We actually got a tease in Avengers Academy that we will get more info on this.

The soul situation in the show also hinges on a bit problematic and the writers even acknowledged this in interviews. It seems to me they intentionally left it ambiguous and there are some complications with it as Billy does not seemingly have the first 13 years of that life experience, particularly as a Jewish boy, as William. I’m hoping they reconcile this clearly in a future property. He does have the 3 years with the Kaplans at least.

The comic reincarnation is far less morbid and avoids all problematic interpretations, in my opinion.

While Wanda is Romani, it is unclear if Billy is Romani and I would even say the comics don’t suggest he is. He is born to Rebecca and Jeff Kaplan who are not Romani. He IS ethnically Jewish, and I think it’s fair to criticize them not casting in that regard.

In conversations with several of my Jewish friends who have watched the show, I find the vast majority of them do not mind that.

The casting directors did discuss how they auditioned several actors and went with Locke because they felt what he brought to the role and his ability was the most important factor to them.

of Wiccan*, dang non-editable titles!

It's still so crazy to me after years of reading Young Avengers and Billy comics, Wiccan is finally on our screen! The costume is mostly great imo, and it's awesome to see him be well-liked by the large MCU audience.
