I'm friends with a person at one of the major special effects shops that works with Marvel all the time. I always ask which Marvel picture they're working on and have never gotten any response until the movie is out and then he's like "yeah I wish I had more time to work on deaging SLJ". It is incredibly serious business, like no cell phones in the office levels of serious.

I have a weird question. How does one get the job to make the fake CGI for trailer? Like is it a prestigious job? Is it like, "Johnson, I think you're ready to work on the fake Hulk."

This. It's not that she's sexually attracted to men and women, it's that she's in a relationship with the woman her ex named new leader of Asgard. Makes you wonder if Loki would've had a shot had he not tried to enslave Earth.

Then again, Thor dealing with Jane and Valkyrie in a relationship seems like something Waititi and Hemsworth would milk the poo poo out of.

I would be surprised to find a woman that doesn't want to gently caress Loki into a coma.

It definitely fell victim to the pattern of the main series being okay at best but having amazing tie-ins. But the tie-ins were so good it was really stand out.

My fanboy dream would be to see the MCU go full Battleworld for a phase, but that’s not likely. Then again I never thought I’d see a big screen adaptation of Infinity Gauntlet so who knows.

I will kill and eat anyone that doesn't think original costume Blade teaming up with Howard the duck isn't the best thing ever.

Whoever has access to it could have edited the footage to be a propaganda film with only the best clips of heroes

I wonder if in the MCU, crazy alt right people believe the battle and Thanos were fake. They might claim the all female bit is clear proof. Tony Stark is at the heart of the conspiracy theory instead of Bill Gates. They could blame him for half the people disappearing.

In Squirrel Girl they had this guy that was a super hero truther that believed it was all faked.

Dracula has basically been a Marvel villain for years, Blade and all, and has fought everyone from the X-Men to Luke Cage.

I've got a signed Clairmont X-Men issue that features Dracula. Also if the new Blade movie features him in his original costume it will be the greatest movie ever and I will kill and eat anyone that disagrees.

It's not a line, though. It's the reason why Jimmy, who is based out of San Francisco, found himself in New Jersey in time for Wanda's shenanigans. Especially if part of the point is setting Jimmy up for future movies/shows, it'd be strange for him to end the show without actually coming back to his original motivation.

How do you know Jimmy is still in San Francisco? Also, if you want to get super technical the FBI doesn't run the witness protection program. It's supervised by the US Marshals.

Iron Man is the reason I don't drink. I was 12 and reading a comic where Tony had a flash back about how his dad was an alcoholic too. I knew that my dad had drinking problems so it would be best if I don't drink. This is a major reason that I have such an emotional attachment to Iron Man.

Disney owns marvel. Marvel thinks they can make money with a show that addresses prejudice. That’s why any show is made.

For the sake of storytelling, we see how racism is a social issue that being one of the most famous, powerful people on earth doesn’t save you from. Comic book writers have been addressing this since the 60s, earlier if you consider that Superman was an allegory for the golem of Prague/the immigrant protector. Black Lightning has been on the air for 51 episodes, made by Warner Brothers.

I’m sorry if you find the show insincere because there isn’t a five minute sequence of Sam Wilson smashing Dumbo DVDs.

True Story. I didn't know the crows were racist caricatures till I was well into my 20's.
