Its not midnights edge who is a Chud.

Mr Sunday is two Aussie blokes and some of their best running jokes are ripping on dumb chud takes like the reactions to Captain Marvel and Rey

I recommend the channel and their podcast, they're really organically funny and have a distinct left lean which is refreshing for comedy movie takes

I get Disco Elysium vibes from this.

Am reminded that WandaVision almost at times seems like 'that Twilight Zone episode from the perspective of the kid with godlike psychic powers', complete with wishing someone to the cornfield when they get inconvenient.

Also have to shamefully admit to identifying with the wacky comic relief who started out investigating something weird and later admitted they'd gotten invested.

loving people falling over themselves with Johns silver age obsession to make Hal Jordon the greatest ever and then Jeph Loeb wasn't written a good story in ever and went more and more insane

I didn't realise both of them had been pushed out hard and really really want to know what happened to both of them because it sounds reeeeal bad

I think it came up earlier itt, but Geoff Johns was apparently a huge rear end in a top hat on the set of Justice League and racist as hell towards Ray Fisher, while I dunno about Loeb but I'm guessing people eventually realised he was a crazy rear end in a top hat who turned everything he wrote into murder porn and wore out the sympathy points from his dead son.

Loeb is also racist, most notably with Iron Fist and Daredevil actors.

Loeb is just a awful human being all around. He was inappropriate to interns to the point where there was a huge chance of a lawsuit. He would get into fights with other employees. He got asked to leave a Marvel retreat once because of his behavior as well.

There are certain people whom you never hear a bad thing about and then some that you never hear a good thing about. The latter is who you need to watch out for. They are in every industry and sadly seem to fail upward.

You say that, but I'm honestly kind of shocked to see so much ragging on Loeb in this thread because while I hadn't even heard of the guy in years, I used to see almost nothing but positive chatter on him on other forums and in various Hollywood rags and chatter; though I imagine a lot of that was sympathy points for his dead son. Which it sounds like has worn out.

my memories of Loeb were he got good will with Dark Victory and Hush (which was essentially a retread of Dark Victory) and then his son died and he just lost his mind and had a breakdown that bled into his work and because he couldnt retread Dark Victory forever he instead pumped out some of the worst comics ever and yet kept getting more high profile work and promoted. Also he managed to sabotage Heroes.

He was protected by Joe Quesada which is a whole other load of poo poo

I've never even read Dark Victory or Hush, and my only real knowledge of the guy is that he kind of shat up Ultimate Marvel and destroyed what was left, and then killed Richard Rider/Nova to make an analogue of his son the new Nova. Which irritated me, because while I'd never read Nova as a stand alone or anything prior to the Annihilation comics, I really enjoyed pretty much everything in that event and it made me like Nova and the Nova Corps quite a bit as a more mundane take on the Green Lantern Corps.

Brock! Oh, man, I'm sorry about your...

...tooth?


I've been watching through the 90's Avengers cartoon for an article I'm writing (namely how it's inadvertently relevant for MCU Phase 4). Some random thoughts:

- The "oh, remember the big three!" split second reminder at the end of the opening credits will never not be funny. For those who haven't seen it, the cartoon is supposed to take place far enough along the Avengers' existence that the founders (Cap, Iron Man and Thor) had already left. Cap and Iron Man each show up for one episode. Thor doesn't. They still appear extremely briefly at the end of the intro.

- Ultron sounds exactly like the "Powered by the Cheat" ugly flash cartoon version of Strong Bad.

- Vision is hilariously overpowered compared to most of his teammates, so of course he just hangs out in the background most of the time.

- This is the last show in the 90's Marvel cartoon universe (X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Hulk, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man Unlimited). I like the irony that for this media expanded universe, introducing the Avengers is what kills that continuity.

- There's an episode where Wanda and Vision fight Salem's Seven and when facing Nicholas Scratch, Wanda's repeated, high-pitched, incredulous reading of "Nicholas!" keeps making me think of Nick Swardson's stand-up routine about impressing his grandmother with his average strength. Every time she'd yell "Nicholas!" me or my wife would just yell, "You should fight crime!"

- We should count our lucky stars that Wolverine was as cool and likable as he was because cartoon Hawkeye was THE WORST. Angry at everything for no reason and constantly whining.

- Tigra was obviously just Rogue... but a cat.

- The explosion effects are a special kind of terrible.

Most I'll say is that the guy is just an absolute raging douche bag every single time he and I crossed paths which fortunately was not very often.

Jim Lee always seemed to be a really nice guy as did Dan Didio, though I never had to sit in a meeting with the latter. I did hear him ripping some heads off on a couple of occasions.

Was the 90s X-Men cartoon really in a shared universe with the other Marvel stuff? I mean, wouldn't surprise me too much, but still. I do remember the Silver Surfer cartoon being interestingly weird.

Reminds me of Captain America's cameo in X-Men Evolution, which had an interesting take on Project Rebirth; that it grants humans great physical power which is slowly killing them (and in this version Cap is presumably voluntarily cryogenically frozen til they find a cure) while Magneto seeks it out because it actually reverses ageing and lengthens life for mutants.

Eh, theoretically. A lot of those cross-overs felt more like easter eggs or cameos rather than a legit attempt at a coherent world but like, the Iron Man from that Avengers cartoon was ostensibly the same one from the Iron Man show with the kickin' rad intro, right? I had no idea the Hulk show had any connection to the rest though.

...goddammit I just wish Spectacular Spider-Man and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes got longer runs, those were both loving fantastic. Best Tombstone ever. Were those two shows supposed to be connected?

Yeah when I was a kid it blew my fuckin mind when Spider-man met the X-men. Peter was all "oh no i'm mutating but there is an expert i can visit" and I was thinking "... Curt Connors?" Then the X-men showed up and I was like... holy poo poo, THEY CAN DO THAT? This probably also cemented my love of crossovers in general and is why I'll even watch the Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover despite only ever seeing one and a half seasons of one.

(thanks for the compliments on the painting, by the way; I wasn't ashamed of the painting so much as I was reluctant to self-promote in a TVIV thread)
