Co-worker earlier today was talking about the X-Men 97 trailer and asked me because I read comics, what has been going on in X-Men comics the last few years.
Wandavision
Captain America and the Winter Soldier
Black Widow
Loki
Shang-Chi
She-Hulk
The Eternals
Hawkeye
What If
MODOK
Spiderman No Way Home
Ms. Marvel
All this year
I think its really neat that the CW era of superhero shows begun with a Teenage Superman and will bow out with an older Superman who has a family and Teenage kids of his own.
The circle is complete.
Sonny Chiba passed due to COVID. many will probably know him as Hattori Hanzo from Kill Bill, but he had such an accomplished film career spanning over 50 years of awesome king fu films like Golgo 13 and Shoguns Samurai
RIP
Poe: Hi, I'm Poe.
Rey: I'm Rey.
Poe: I know.
Not only is this line iconic in the Star Wars universe, it also establishes that Rey is not the nobody that she believed she was. Poe let her know that she is somebody.
cannot WAIT for dudebros to go on about how much they fucking love Midnighter cuz he's so cool and kills and looks cool and then fly into a rage when the first thing he does in the Authority movie is kiss his husband
This is a little bigger than it looks since the Siegel/Shuster families have sued DC several times in the past (rightfully so) regarding the creators credits so for them to come to Gunn with this is pretty cool.
They gotta trust what he's doing.
James Gunn has been gifted a reprint of Action Comics

signed by Jerry Seigel from his grandsons Michael and James Larson.
“It’s been great having Mike and Jim around keeping Jerry’s spirit alive in the birth of the DCU!”
Two days ago, on June 8th, my husband, Ben Potter, passed away in an unfortunate accident.
To many of you, he was Comicstorian, voicing stories from across multiple different mediums. To his loved ones, he was one of the best and most supportive individuals anyone could ask for.
So the movie that had its production go well, feature a new young star, Brendan Fraser, JK Simmons and Michael Keaton and was testing well gets shit canned
while the movie that's been in development hell for almost a decade whose star is currently playing irl GTA gets released.
Here's what the fascinating new Marvel comic 'The Ultimates'

can tell us about Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom and the upside of 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.'
"I sense much fear in you." said by an old wise Yoda to a youngling Anakin. And now many years later, Ahsoka Tano, apprentice to that same scared kid, repeats the line to a youngling of Yoda's species.
exec 1"so the robin in our show will be hard edged and be morally grey about how he treats criminals"
exec 2"oh so its going to be Jason Todd? excellent!"
exec 1"what? no! it will be Dick Grayson!"
One of the things i find so intriguing about Chris Chan is that no matter the year or the gear he uses, his camera quality is always has the "serial killer" filter on.
this is a pic from somewhere between 2015-17
Imagine taking everything made by Jack Kirby and then stripping out all of the cool and interesting things that made his work a standout in favour of lifeless and generic monster designs.
If you wanted that Zack Snyder has you covered.
Just woke up to the heartbreaking news that Stan Lee has died.
Stan created and co-created some of the most memorable comic book characters of all time. Characters that have and always will fill the lives of their readers with joy, excitement and thrills.
RIP Stan.

Somehow Disney wanting 30-50% of the profits from a movie their people conceptualize, write, design, produce and edit makes them "evil" while the company that just sits back and gets the whole lot is the loser.
IG-11 Speeding through town on a Speeder Bike with a baby strapped to his chest, blasting Stormtroopers left and right is the cinema Scorsese spoke about.
>Phil Lord & Chris Miller write Spider-Man movie with parallel universes, a team-up of different Spider-Men and a mentor-ship between a veteran Spider-Man and a novice Spider-Man
>Phil Lord & Chris Miller were set to write and direct a Flash movie in 2016.
Makes one wonder...
I am enjoying how much this line in an MCU movie is making all the self proclaimed "cinephiles" mad.
if this was in some black and white Korean drama movie they would be frothing at the mouth over how amazing it is, but because its the MCU, its bad.
