Jessica Jones will be in something. (this time for sure re:the link)
(I haven't actually read the article yet, I jumped ahead to my never gonna happen fantasy sequence.)

With the Defenders coming back and settling the annoying 'canon' issue, the sequence I wished was in Endgame.

The Defenders come through a portal, Jessica does her thing (cracks a beer or joke or both about how this is messed up) then actually up up and aways and Iron Fist asks if they knew she could fly. At some point Daredevil pulls an outlander or whatever they're called (forgot...) and Coleen and Misty punch it roboarm/ki style. Power Man cracks some skulls. At the end when Iron Man snaps Punisher has already switched to using his empty gun as a club and is screaming and punching Outlanders who have to gang up on him to get him down before they turn to dust.

It really would have added nothing and probably seem out of place in Endgame (even though every time Wong says "What, you wanted more?" I always go "YES!") and they made a sound decision to leave them out, but as a flashback to a part of the battle we didn't see...


...probably just as extraneous and definitely not going to happen. Just a thing that will exist in my head canon.

EDIT: Removed garbage link, I'll try and find one that works.

Edit the second: This should work.

I mean theoretically this could also work for F4 and X-men

It could, but why? They have yet to make a F4 movie worth the photons it takes to watch it, and the only X-portrayals I'd have any interest in seeing brought back are Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen, and I think they're all getting too old for the roles.

They could just skip X-men

Oh dude. Read the House of M.

Oh dude. Read the House of M.

Preferably the one from the Secret War/Battlezonea (whatever it was called) in 2015 which is much superior to the original in many ways.

They did it twice.

Echo, I'm calling it right now.

House of M

Okay yes, my original statement was that the Battleworld House of M is superior to the original, was there confusion about that?

[Free Algerstonia]

All these new clips have me so excited for Ms. Marvel. Imam Vellani seems so interested in the character too- she knows her comics as shown by this clip https://mobile.twitter.com/DEADLINE/sta ... KI68QqAAAA

Stewart says a "reappearance" is possible in the MCU after MOM, but personally I don't think he'll be 616 Xavier, he'll probably show up in another alternate universe or something. Jackman is done tho.

Don't know if you've run across this or not, I lost the place I just heard it from, I think Everything Always and notably, not confirmed by Marvel but I guess a report from the actor re:Namor.

It's not the first time I've heard this but he's not gonna be from Atlantis. The new thing shines light on what the change up will be and, well, set your shield for "waah marvel gone woke".

The actor, who is Hispanic, has been learning Mayan. I mean, I don't know how much of that language still exists, but he's learning it.

I don't know if there's a ''sunken city" myth in Mayan mythology but the sea figures into their mythology with the coastal Mayans trading big in shark teeth/jaws etc. It would seem coo coo to suggest that the city was founded at the arrival of the Conquistadors to establish an entire underwater community during the 'age of discovery' just doesn't seem long enough ago, but who knows.

Oh there we go, it was from Vice...this is another source reporting about what was written in Vice.

It's buried in this article which is not about Black Panther 2 but mentions it including flatly stating that he's Namor.

Not a Marvel announcement, though.

Well TIL there are two House of M

That is explicitly what I was aying to begin with - and that the second one is better

What happens in it? I can't remember it at all.

Tenoch Huerta still seems a terrible choice for Namor.

And Namor still seems a terrible choice for a Black Panther 2 movie and especially a Black Panther 2 movie without T'Challa.

The Battleworld/Warzone one? Mainly Pietro & Namor attempting a coup at the same time the last of the human resistance tries to kill Magneto.

Hmm, doesn't ring any bells... I must not have read it. Which surprises me. I thought I'd read all of the Battleworlds. At least, all of the ones revisiting stuff I'm familiar with (Runaways, the Maestro, 1602 etc).

Dammit, I’m confusing my stuff - it’s Warzones, that might be why.

Apparently Sony re-released Morbius and it bombed again

Has anyone here watched it? Is it actually as bad as people make it out to be

At least according to Box Office Mojo it was only on 84 screens...where it averaged just north of $400 (for context, Top Gun Maverick averaged $33k-ish over memorial day weekend.)

And also, why bury that in the opening weekend of Top Gun: Maverick?

But also maybe Box Office Mojo isn't telling the whole story because they show screens dropping to 83 and staying there, not getting more screens. So maybe that data is off.

Finally got around to watching the CW Gotham Knight trailer. I assumed they were joking about how bad it is but good lord it's bad! "Your Father is dead, did you know he was Batman?" They're not known as The Crappy Writers Channel for nothing. So apparently Bruce Wayne's Son who's not one of the countless pre existing Kids joins some villain kids and race swapped Karri Kelly to find out who killed batman. What kind of Crappy Fan Fiction Disney Channel Original Movie rip off TV show is this?

Things are very rarely as bad as people make them out to be.

I watched a complimentary screening of BvS at the movies after weeks of reading "this movie makes no sense" and "it's completely incoherent" takes. My overwhelming response was "if you couldn't follow this movie you're a fucking idiot". Of course, it's worth noting I saw it (a) for free and (b) informed by all and sundry that the movie was a steaming turd.

Now, I think people wanted Morbius to be bad, so there's unlikely to be a sense of disappointment a la BvS' hot takes but the kind of person that goes to watch a film that they think will be bad is going to have... a strange take on the film.

That being said, I haven't seen Morbius so maybe it is how people say it is.

Wikipedia has informed me that the only worse reviewed Marvel movie (in any relation) is the 2015 F4, so there’s that - or looking at numbers, it’s barely at break-even (BvS for instance still managed decently over that, just less than expected).

I am surprised to learn Howard the Duck indeed scored higher

I think they forgot about that one with the comparison (it’s still close on the critic level)
