[Stab You in the Back]

That is true, but it was both 43 year old Magneto, and 93 year old Magneto. 62 year old Magneto still looking like Fassbender makes less sense, when he's around 70 in X-Men (2000). Yeah, I know, timeline rubbish, but Erik and Charles were still born in the early 1930s, and Erik always suffers from Holocaust crap, then his abilities get triggered by personal trauma and puberty. P.S. Taylor Kitsch's Gambit is underappreciated.

Magneto uses his magnetism powers to take control of the iron in his blood and keep his skin from sagging.

Where's my No-Prize, Stan?

 

[Overly Serious]

Sure. My point is that Acolyte witch would make for a better Storm than Frowny Wicked lady.

Isn't the Wicked actress tiny? That doesn't seem like Storm to me.

 

[Your Starter for 10]

To be fair, Storm was a mutant, so it seems like good casting to me.

I know it's been a long time, but does anyone know whose dick Brie Larson sucked to be pushed so fucking hard? Her movie had to be the worst of the old MCU before all the other trash came flooding in. I unfortunately saw that in theaters because my cousin didn't want to watch it alone. We both thought it was a waste of money afterward.

When I saw her movie back in 2019, the back of my mind I was thinking that the MCU was on track to death already but I was kinda in denial.

Looking back now, it was definitely the start of its downward spiral.

Man, was What If disappointing. I didn’t even need to watch the newest episodes—just reading the titles and seeing a clip of Agatha Harkness, of all people, defeating and stealing the powers of not one, but two Celestials, and all the eternals, was enough to make me roll my eyes and avoid it altogether.

I loved the concept of an anthology exploring crazy, different Marvel universes. Some ideas, like Strange Supreme, were great. Some had potential like Marvel Zombies. And it was nice to see Storm. But it basically ended up being the MCU again, just with more girl bosses and Mary Sues.

I’m not even exaggerating how often they regurgitated the MCU with a new coat of paint. Want to know how Agatha defeated one of Marvel’s most powerful cosmic entities? With a reference to WandaVision! (Never mind the fact that the rune thing, which stops witches, shouldn’t work on cosmic beings.) And of course, each season ends with a team-up to defeat a bigger villain, except with constant Captain Carter shilling, as is tradition with MCU team up movies.

It didn’t feel like limitless possibilities, it felt like you were thrown constant memeberberries of other MCU projects. Member Black panther? Member Thor’s girlfriend‘s silly friend? Member Wandavision? Member the Grandmaster?

I’m not going to be weeping over its cancellation.

Storm being a mutant made her fuckably hot for everyone in spite of being a Sub-Saharan African.

If it's any dark consolation, the showrunner lost her house in the fires.

To be fair, Storm was a mutant, so it seems like good casting to me.

But even 2029 Caliban looked vaguely handsome, underneath the chalk white skin and pale eyes.

@Stab You in the Back True, although, that's only in the comics and animated series(s), where he's ridiculously powerful, and can kill someone by pulling the iron out of their blood. Maybe since Apocalypse, where En Sabah Nur made him more powerful, well, more like helped him unlock the full reach of his power, he has those two traits, but, as for the blood thing, it hasn't been used in the Movies.

Another (half-jokingly) point I'd like to make: I doubt Magneto, looking like Ian McKellen, fathered Polaris, but he was somewhere in his 60s at the time. Although, and I'm being a nerd here, I'm thinking The Gifted follows the same timeline continuity as post-Days of Future Past, so it'd be Fassbender with a dash of white hair, I dunno...

The sad thing is that some of the writers DID have good ideas, one wanted to do a team-up of Captain America and the Rocketeer! I woulda killed for that! Disney was the one constantly hobbling any attempt at a unique story, usually because a character hadn’t been formally introduced in the MCU yet and they didn’t want “What If…” to be the general public’s first time seeing them.

Remember Black Panther outperformed Infinity War at the US box office. It proved that all this progressive shit could be possible.

Denying the film's success would be retarded, but without First Black Hero or a fresh grave to market itself with I'm curious if it'll have any momentum in the future.

Marvels was a billion dollars because First Woman and hints it would bridge the gap to Infinity War, but it's sequel sunk like a rock.

I remember when it flopped internationally. $650,000,000 vs. IW's $1.3 billion.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Yeah the MCU did this because they want to add prestige to their movies to make it look like "real films", I imagine they considered doing it more since the Disney/MCU execs and a few actors (like the lead of Shang Chi, and others who never won awards) are still butthurt over Martin Scorcese's comments.

Anyway here is some good news

Doubt Sony is really going to improve (as this is a wait and see type of thing), but good riddance that there's one less clown there.

Of course he is a Pajeet.

I'm considering it for _not_ getting that!

Late, but I don’t think Brie was the factor.

Kevin Fiege wanted to push more female heroes in the universe as DC caught Marvel lacking and took home gold with Wonder Woman being the “first” female hero movie. Even beyond Captain Marvel, you had the Endgame all female scene where Marvel tries to act like they totally set up a large variety of female heroes people care about. There is also all the new age female character and especially Agent Carter shilling.

The entire thing is just Marvel compensating over DC, which aught to be the saddest thing imaginable given the state of the two at the time.

Daredevil: Born Again trailer is out.

They're really leaning on the "look, guys, it's violent" angle.
I hope it's good, but it's a cautious hope.

Still, nice to see Frank and Bullseye and Karen and Foggy back.

So, how quickly does everyone think Marvel & Disney will shit the bed on this one? My vote is for the second episode... (I know, I know -- I'm giving these idiots too much credit that they'll be at least semi-competent in the first episode...)
