PC games coming in those big square cardboard boxes with a jewel case in the middle was one thing but what I liked was how all the Lego games came with a minifigure.

I am not ashamed to admit that I liked the Spin Doctors and that was the coolest thing I've never seen. I guess I'm too old to have seen that episode (I'm 39) but it was awesome. The lead singer of the Spin Doctors is just the right age to have grown up with Sesame Street so he'd have seen the puppets as real like I do. Very cute. I miss Sesame Street. My kids used to watch it, but it just doesn't have the same charm as the old stuff. Now, they're 11 and 10 so they aren't interested any more. I used to play them the old stuff when they were really little, but now they're only into Anime and live-streaming gamers. Sigh... Now I feel old.

Since Toys R Us is going down soon, they should let people run through there with a cart for five minutes and go to town. I always wanted to do that. I always wished there was one kid who made a b line for the action figures and just grabbed the whole isle. But they wanted bikes and video games. Pfff.

Nah, they're going to use one of those awful liquidation companies that mark everything up to full price, and then tag everything like it's a fire sale, slowly bringing down prices over a month until the sadness hanging over the store is so palpable it permanently and invisibly stains anything you might have bought for 5% less than its President's Day sale price would have been.

This, right here. My wife and I went to the local Babies 'R' Us "everything must go" liquidation sale and only as handful of items were marked down, and even then, only an astounding 10%.

Clothes were 20% off so we did end up getting some non-Carter’s sleepers since we needed more for our daughter. I think the Gerber ones ended up being $8 for 2.

The only thing about those images is that I don't see a lot of them actually being likely in the 90s. (I know, it's a fan casting thing) I would probably say that some things should be flipped around, though. The Falcon and War Machine castings, for example. Cruise probably wouldn't be able to have the snarkiness of RDJr, so you'd probably at least want to pair him with an actor who could channel that, and that might be Murphy. Meanwhile, Pitt's Cap would probably prefer a more friendly neighborhood Falcon in the form of Cuba. I don't think Keanu would have worked as Strange in the 90s, but Giancarlo Espisito probably would have been great in the part in the 90s. He wasn't doing Harvey Dent anymore, so just picture if you will Billy Dee Williams being Sorceror Supreme in the mid-80s or early 90s. edit: Early 80s Billy Dee as Dr. Strange with the effects and energy of that era of fantasy-adventure-action film. drat it. I really want this now.

(I know, it's a fan casting thing) Also as a comic nerd, the Nick Fury thing also makes me laugh because the whole reason Samuel Jackson plays Nick Fury is because of a series of popular Marvel alternate universe comics that were published in the early 2000s. There's literally no way they cast a black man as the head of a high-tech spy organization in 1991.

Mu Zeta posted:Colin Powell was like one of the highest ranking and most prestigious military guys in 1990. Yeah but casting wise...black people were still often regulated to kooky sidekicks unless there was a "reason" for them to be black, such as the character being black in the comics (Steel and Spawn come to mind) In the 90s Nick Fury would totally be a middle aged white dude because thats how the comics still represented him at the time.

There was always a fan thought in the 90s that Charlton Heston could have been a good Nick Fury. Even at his age at the time, if he was just given the range of stuff to do that Jackson has been expected to in the films, he'd probably have been okay.

NorgLyle posted:In the 90s there's also no way that Arnold takes second (if that) billing to Brendan Frasier. I was about to bring that up, too. I'm trying to think of really buff or big muscular actors in the 90s, though. Hulk Hogan was having some fluctuating film roles and doing a lot of it with a comedic tone, so I could see him more being Drax. Bonus points when they'd finally do Infinity War and Hulk Hogan/Drax has to interact with whoever is playing Hulk. Goldberg and Stone Cold were both doing some acting in the 90s, so one of them likely could have been Drax. In the 90s, a CG Hulk would either look really bad, be too expensive or they'd have to do a TV series gimmick of switching actors in and out of the role. Tim Robbins might have made a good Banner in the 90s, but he's maybe unfortunately way too tall at 6'5". On the plus side to that, if they filmed Banner scenes to intentionally make him look smaller, by just putting him in some prosthetics, a bodysuit and make-up he could possibly play the role of Hulk as well and tower over a lot of the other actors. Tom Hanks in the mid-90s as Reed Richards, too.

I feel like the true lost bit of casting perfection is Peter Weller as Reed Richards.

Trouble is it would've been 90s Drax who was a big green and purple guy in a cape with the mind of a child.

Ah yes, right alongside the "Marvel Illustrated Swimsuit Issue" annuals, which were peak 90s cheesecake and beefcake pinups with bad puns and cringey captions ("Domino delivers, eh, Cable? Remember, if she takes more than a half hour, it's free!") I'm pretty sure Jim Lee never needed an excuse to draw She-Hulk one-handed, but at least this stuff had a theme.
