I'm just going to state without verification that Thor is absolutely airbrushed on the side of a van somewhere.

I keep saying that this '#vanlife' scene is sorely missing is murals.

Man, that poster suggests they're either drawing from the Hyperion stuff (from the Odinson era) or some Ultimate Thor with Thor's characterisation. Though, I suppose the trailers were a bit suggestive of that.

But, yeah, it's ugly/

What' the over/under you think on Captain Marvel showing up in Ms Marvel? Or, actual scene or post credits scene.

This really isn't a spoiler. Since they name dropped Kingo...

...Kingo ain't showing up. It was just the 'we live in the Marvel world' moment. (on top of aaaaalllll the other moments like that since the premise kind of hinges on her being a superhero fangirl.

Ooo...will it be Kree still?

Michael Keaton is the best batman because he's the perfect balance between comic book campiness and realism. On a scale of Adam west to Robert Pattinson, Keaton is right on the middle.

If you're not interested in Marvels, the next Captain Marvel movie probably not. She'll probably be part of a young Avengers squad. But you know she exists, so...

I find it charming. Not that it matters, but I do.

I'm sure it's well done, but I dunno. Like I couldn't get into "Turning Red" for the same reason. As a soon to be middle aged male with no kids, the life of a tween girl is so divorced from my reality I have no frame of reference to find an attachment.

While there are plenty of gay superheroes*, movie superheroes can't be gay*. So, that'd be a no.

*Though, in Marvel's case, they have a strong tendency to be mutants or pitched at younger readers (cf Young Avengers, Viv).

**Well, obviously America was in DSMoM but I haven't seen that and also that movie came out this year, in any case.
