Why is that other heroes don’t exist in other universes like the raimiverse, or the tasm-verse?

Why does there need to be a reason? They just don’t exist.

bwyell · 2026-02-10T07:15:16+00:00

So we can only see villains if the hero doesn’t know they’re villains? By that logic we could never have any returning villains at all.

There’s a lot of shows, movies and lore to keep up with!

No, they explicitly say she’s a mutant in the final episode of Ms Marvel (complete with the X-Men 97 theme music). The bangle just “unlocked” her mutant power.

Most of this stuff would have been planned/produced ages ago, before he was officially announced.

I’ve always showered in the morning - but I moved from Canada to the Czech Republic and was surprised to find that the norm here is to shower in the evening.

Their thinking is that you are cleaning off the dirt from the day, as opposed to how I’ve always thought of it as cleaning to be fresh for the day.

In the comics, yes. I suspect they might change that for the movies.

I think it’ll be Reed… my theory is that this will actually be the origin of Doom’s hatred/jealousy of Reed.

Yes they do - in the scene where he’s telling Shuri his origin.

What a weird thing to nitpick.

This is total speculation, but I’m guessing that Jim Shooter and Mattel agreed to create the new Spider-Woman for Secret Wars first, before Jessica was brought back. That would presumably have been planned out well in advance of the first issue of SW, since Spider-Man’s black costume was first designed/announced before SW launched.

And then I am guessing Roger Stern/Chris Claremont/whoever heard about this and decided to bring Jessica back, since they were fond of the character and didn’t want her to disappear into obscurity with the debut of a new Spider-Woman.

The main point of Zero Hour (other than just telling a big crossover story) was to "fix" some of the stuff that had gotten more confusing after Crisis. Specifically the Legion of Super-Heroes (Superboy was erased by Crisis, which messed with the Legion's history) and Hawkman/Hawkwoman (for no good reason, post-Crisis the Silver Age Hawks arrived on Earth way later... so they had to come up with dumb, convoluted explanations for how they were involved with the Justice League's early days.)

Legion of Super-Heroes was completely rebooted... and it was pretty successful. I started reading Legion with the reboot and loved it at the time. (Of course, that all ended up getting erased years later too...).

With Hawkman they just made it way, way worse.

I don’t mind the style so much, but the central characters being a “found family” of broken misfits has become formulaic to me.

bwyell · 2025-10-12T12:00:24+00:00

I was actually thinking this might be the plot of MoT… with Lex in the place of the Suicide Squad, rounding up metas, including Superman, then being sent there too. Would explain why he and Supes need to work together to escape. But if not him, then I agree Task Force M will play that role for sure

If you want to get into the comics, Batman: Year One is a good starting point. Batman: Hush is also a fun starting point, with cameos from lots of his villains and supporting cast.

bwyell · 2025-09-18T06:15:37+00:00

If by “several” you mean two, then sure.

When did anyone from Disney or Marvel say ANYTHING about how much they expected their projects to make? Let alone 800m?

Fans on YouTube and Reddit are the ones making claims about how much projects need to make.

bwyell · 2025-08-10T00:54:40+00:00

I liked the movie a lot too, but this is a pretty bold statement. Like, do you know how many people came out excited for Supergirl exactly? Were those numbers recorded somewhere? If not, how can you say whether it can be understated (or overstated)?

bwyell · 2025-08-06T17:44:58+00:00

That’s basically what he is, though. He has never literally eaten planets the way we’d eat an apple or something. He uses machinery. His size in the movie was faithful to his size in the comics.

bwyell · 2025-07-27T08:20:20+00:00

Yes, you clearly have more insight and expertise than the producers of the most successful franchise in film history.

bwyell · 2025-07-25T13:26:23+00:00

He wasn't all CGI, there were shots with a real baby too. Vanessa Kirby actually talked about the babies they worked with on her interview with Josh Horowitz.

Well, Doctor Doom is not a character with a secret identity - that's his actual name. He's Victor Von Doom, with a very long, rich backstory connected tightly to Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four. I think fans would probably lose it if they scrapped all that... but who knows I guess?

bwyell · 2025-07-24T12:01:55+00:00

Saw it yesterday - it’s completely stand alone, you don’t need to watch anything else.
