What X-Men heavy hitters do we have left?
mako replied to Benn's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
I can kinda see what they were trying to do with Quietly's art, I just don't think it was a good fit for the book. Personally, I like his stuff . . . just not there. -
Hasbro Announce Pulse-Con 2020 For September 25-26

Not a good move Hasbro. Now is not the time to explore new venues. Now is the time to buckle down and put all your efforts into making sure your meat and potatoes lines are running smoothly.

Given the alternate realities we'll apparently be seeing, and Wanda's comics history, I'm pretty sure it'll be revealed (maybe as an eleventh hour twist) that Vision really is dead, and the entire life they appear to be leading is all an illusion manifested by Wanda's powers. Sort of like what John Anderson's character was doing on the "Survivors" episode of ST:TNG.

Well, at least you're not bitter. Unfortunately, you ain't wrong either. While we're at it, anybody else feel that tinge of anger when these cut-and-paste publicity releases name drop masters like Lee and Kirby only to make a ham-fisted segue to whatever low-rent wannabees are doing a given book?

Okay, that resume doesn't exactly fill me with confidence, but its She-Hulk, so I'll give it a shot.

Knull Overtakes Your Favorite Marvel Heroes In December Covers

So this story-line sees the Marvel universe being taken over by a dark entity who perverts its characters into dark fun-house mirror versions of themselves. Who knew Marvel was getting into nonfiction? -
The Black Widow Movie Gets A November 2020 Release Date
mako replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
Yeah, it'll come back, and probably do better business than ever, just because people will be itching to get out and have some fun. Same goes for the restaurants, bars, cons, etc. -
The Black Widow Movie Gets A November 2020 Release Date
mako replied to JayC's topic in Marvelous News's General Area
They may very well delay the movie, but I seriously doubt they'll release it to streaming. From what I've been reading, even if they adopted the same micro-transaction model they used with Mulan, Disney wouldn't make a fraction of what they lost not opening in theaters. Just their piece of the concession stand take alone would be a fortune. -
Worst Toy Buying Experience.
mako replied to EUPHORICVIKING's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Wow. My dealings with Mgalopolis were usually pretty positive, but that was quite a wile back. I basically stopped using them because between the scalper mark-up, the extravagant shipping fees (In all fairness, unlike Amazon, they didn't go cheap on the shipping supplies), and tax, they just weren't worth my time. -
Marvel Legends Sightings and Hauls thread
mako replied to aaozz9's topic in Marvel Legends Figure Discussion
Grocery day. Went to one of the nicer Walmarts in the area (God, that's such a low bar), no love for Marvel Legends, just a couple of Gamerverse left-overs and two of the Movie Cable figures. Nothing for me. -
I watched all the Marvel 'toons of the 90s, and I used to live for those "random cameos," X-Men on Spider-Man, Spider-Man on X-Men, X-Men on Fantastic Four, etc. Bless their hearts, sometimes I think those old cartoons were the last time writers actually understood these characters.

King T'Challa DIDN'T die. Chadwick Boseman did. He was a man, not a cartoon character.

My niece just showed me a video from Tic-Toc of Stan Lee meeting Black panther at the Pearly Gates, and the two walking in together. I thought it was sweet, but at the same time, I feel kinda sorry for Boseman. Be honest, how many of us are heart-broken because a talented actor has died, and how many are upset because "That Who Guy Played Black Panther" died? Would this thread even exist if Boseman's biggest role had been the male lead in a Lifetime Rom/Com?

You can't get it early.
