    well, they didn't upgrade it yet. These are just some stock they had left over and are allowing OTHER stores to sell them. Not to mention, it's sold out in a lot of stores right now so people do want it. 

    I remember it was a real hassle getting it in the first place. I felt extremely lucky when I found mine, QC issues non-withstanding. Never saw it again

    Well it's a little blurry but the costume certainly reads as Diamondback to me. And Diamondback is a compound word which I don't believe really has a translation to English. I believe the direct translation would be Espalda de Diamante or Espalda Diamante. Similarly Spanish has their own compound words or words with multiple meanings which don't translate well to English. I think the appointment of Cascavel is most likely due to the fact that it is a shorter word and it just sounds cooler than Espalda de Diamante. And in the end a diamondback is a type of rattlesnake. And while I am partly of Hispanic descent I find that the Spanish we speak here in the good old US of A is a chopped up slang of Spanish proper. I think our guy @memocromatico has a better handle on it then me.

    Ey oh! Native Spanish speaker from Mexico here. This is Portuguese, but I believe that Cascavel is for Cascabel (I know, huge difference) which is just rattlesnake… I am assuming that’s the name they’re giving Diamondback too. The costume looks to have diamond shapes and is similar in color to her comicbook counterpart (though, if I’m honest, I only know her from her appearance in Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance 2)

    Not going to bite on this. Not going to get into another Hulu show only to have it abruptly cancelled for no reason.

    As a stand alone thing, the first season worked wonderfully. It's a beautifully animated show, the characters are interesting... If you have the time I'd tell you to bite it. It's good, however long it lasts... this is one of those shows that I really recommend

  4. This is interesting, I really love Silver Surfer and had no idea that this was a thing! I think it's really cool when they pull stuff like this out of left field. It doesn't always work, but I have faith this will.

    We also have to remember that these aren't made for the fans, they're made to make money and the way to make money is to appeal to as broad an audience as possible while also catering to the source material. If the source material also has this character be Silver Surfer, we're just complaining it's not the version we wanted. I'm keeping my mind open and hopeful that this will be a good movie

    I honestly never loved the original cartoon. It just never quite got it right, and bad dialog. I'm gonna just watch this as filler. But I'm certainly not mad about that one thing people are mad about. I'll judge it on my own without worrying about what the haternet has to say. 

    I loved the OG as a kid, rewatched it a couple of years ago... and it made me cringe more than not. This feels similar, but somehow better. Like the animation is similar, but more fluid. The design is similar, but Jubilee looks teen and Asian. The dialogue is corny at times... but somehow earned? I dunno, I'm really enjoying the soap opera ish drama that the 90s had and this one seems to be adapting incredibly well. 

    Plus, the fighting sequences are top notch. If the MCU does these guys half as good as this show, the action is gonna be fun.

    Kinda ridiculous that reviewer can show THREE different versions of the same figure. Cmon Hasbro, let's branch out.. plenty of figures still to do....

    And even if they’re just retools or repaints or even just repackages of the same figure… there’s plenty that are due being available again (I’m looking at how the First Avenger Captain America is not on my display)

  7. Loving Sue's and Ben's casting choices. Not entirely sold on Pascal as Reed, but I love the man. Quinn was super fun and endearing in Stranger Things, but he doesn't look like Kirby's sibling... my only gripe if I'm being nitpicky. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with! FF was the movie franchise that got me into all of this so, bad as they are I like them.
