Okay. Not watching this. Well, maybe not. 😉
And boy, have fan newsletters become fancy in the 21st century! LOL!
In other “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” news (or, more appropriately, rumor): So Skye’s an Inhuman? A lotta folks on the Interwebs think so! Hmmmm……….
This is really good. I never forgot reading a history of American superhero comics that told the story of a tearful Jack Kirby taking his young kids to the toy store in the 1970s to get action figures of superheroes he created–in boxes with his art on it!–and would have to deal with the knowledge that he would never get a dime from any of it. Similarly, it must have been hard for Kirby’s family to go to the movies for the past 14 years, watching characters Kirby either created or co-created make millions, if not billions, of dollars.
WOW! This episode had

But I still gotta stop watching it. What makes it easier is that they still want you to be confused at the end of every episode. I think I’ll wait a while.
Looks good! But I gotta write a book, so I know I’m gonna watch all these comicbook superhero-ish shows online.
Enjoyed last night’s special thoroughly! Boy, did “America Rock” have some straight-up hegemonic thought in it! LOL!
I liked how the producers skirted that no Black cartoons made the Top 5 by including “Verb! That’s What’s Happening” at the end as a bonus, saying it just missed the cut! But I didn’t care: any excuse to watch it I will gladly take! LOL! 🙂
“Gotham!”
“The Flash!”
“Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” Season 2 and “Agent Carter” (the hard-as-nails love interest from “Captain America”)!
“Arrow” Season 3!
WOW! Good thing I’m co-writing a book, because I would not ever leave my house! LOL! 🙂
I get why this kicked ass, box-office wise. This movie is what the critics say it is: fun, fun, FUN, FUNN-IE! (RT gave it a 92, the equal of “The Avengers” score.)
This movie just shows that there’s no overuse of clichés, just a lack of imagination on how to use them.
As someone who read, and once owned, all 146 issues of The Silver Surfer’s 1990s series, I was real happy to see a bunch of characters I knew–in the villain category! Thanos! Ronan! Nebula (played by “Amy Pond!”)! And was that the Supreme Intelligence I saw for a minute?!? I’ll double-check when I go back to see it again! All that and classic Jackson 5 and anti-hero Howard the Duck! WOW!
AUGUST 6th UPDATE: As a kind of writer I always find this stuff interesting.
Lotsa buzz about this on the Web.
With a “Black Widow” film starring Scarlett Johansson too obvious to even mention (and assuming Marvel will pick Ms. Marvel), here are my votes:
Do a solo movie where she meets and marries The Black Panther! Two birds, meet stone! Cast the villains with famous white actors, and Bob’s your uncle! (I’m sure everyone is too afraid of another “Catwoman,” but still……)
A “Heroes For Hire” movie, starring Misty Knight!
Big fan of Sif in general and particularly movie Sif, but she would need some great backup stars (and maybe Loki?) to make people show up!
Illyana Rasputin! One of my favorite X-Men stories of my adolescence was when Colossus’ younger sister feel into a warp and emerged as a teenage witch. A “Magik” movie (coming out of an “X-Men” movie adaptation of the original story) would work on several levels.
