Finally got around to finishing Remender's Secret Avengers.
Was pretty ho-hum overall, but those last issues? Grim as fuck. Came outta nowhere too. Shame the rest wasn't anywhere near as solid. Quite surprised to see it end on such a negative note.
Onwards to v2.

I thought she falls back into the coma after the real Meme asks Hope to just let her die.
What I meant earlier is that they (Marvel) havent done anything special with the character after the whole AvX ending where she basically becomes the new Phenoix and is about to be trained in the arts of the Iron Fist. Ever since Jean has come into the picture, they have been more interested in using her in that role instead of Hope and she really hasnt been given a chance. Hope has way more potential imo since she could basically learn from the past and the future to become something more than just another Jean. Have they even confirmed who her parents were? Her whole story was a huge breath of fresh air when she was traveling with Cable and all throughout Messiah Complex and Second Coming. Now with the Terrigen Mists threatening the mutant race now would be a perfect time to bring her back into the picture as an actual Mutant Messiah.

ehhhh maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I've never liked Hope at all. And I like young Jean, which I know is an unpopular opinion.

President Trump will not stand for this sort of thing. He'll make sure the US gets every movie first, even foreign films. And those damn ferners are going to foot the bill, too.
This shall prove most accurate.

All the Young X-Men rule. Except Young Beast. Dude is hell of boring without outer beastness to contrast the inner breh.

I'm pretty sure Meme just dies. Hope is alive and well and running things. That's what happened post-AvX. Hope should have been on Extraordinary X-Men instead of Jean I FUCKING HATE YOUNG JEAN.
I don't think the writers like Hope and they simply prefer Jean lol.

I liked Young Jean for awhile. Her story arc was refreshing for the character and her dynamic as pretty much the leader of the O5 was interesting. Problem is that nobody ever checks her on her shit, especially now that Emma and the Cuckoos are nowhere to be found and Kitty is...off in space? I dunno. Now she's just an annoying, invasive girl that everyone loves and gives free passes to no matter what. They tell her that mutantkind needs her. For fucking what? You have better trained psychics off floating in the ether, and Hope was the literal Mutant Messiah.
Young Jean can go straight to the Vulcan bin.
His current arc with him realizing that he used to be one of the smartest and now no longer is, considering he's basically decades behind on the way he thinks, is fairly interesting, is decent. But yes, he is the most boring next to Bobby.
It upsets me daily

Cap and Bucky playing a terrible game of pass the shield in the trailer soured me of any remaining desire to see it.*
*I had no desire at all anyway. It's civil war for christ sakes people. The original was the comic equivalent of turdy pissy toilet water.
Wake me up when they announce a Squirrel Girl movie.

You expect a 1-to-1 adaption on that even though everything speaks to the contrary?
Nope but I'm not a huge Captain America fan and the trailer did nothing for me. It probably would help if the source material wasn't rubbish.
Of course I enjoyed Batman Vs Stupidman so you shouldn't really listen to me.
Why do you have to ruin everyone the movie?
not yet! deciding whether I should get it now or once again break my moratorium of No New Collections until I finish the stuff I got
He is. Him, Kylo Ren, D-Man, Penance and a cyborg Gwen Stacy are the as of yet unrevealed third faction that just don't give a shit.
Don't forget Thrawn.
C'mon now, I didn't wanna spoil the whole thing!

The source material is bad for reasons that aren't the base concept. The movie really only takes the base concept and adapts it to the MCU.
I also haven't seen BvS. Urge to do so wasn't that strong, and the mixed reception didn't help. So I'm not going to discount your opinion just because you like a movie that I haven't seen.

So much this. It was the execution that the comic missed. The concept was great.
It pains me to say this, but so far every version of Civil War outside comics has been better than the comic. At least until the current Marvel cartoons do their version anyway.

Well it looks like Marvel isn't going to let me update my password. Oh well I didn't need MU anyway.
Because of the secruity thingy?

You won't be spoiled if you can resist the urge to click the spoiler tags. They aren't even Freeza'd, so it's all on you.
I'll probably end up going to see it. Though I'm not actively excited about it like I have been past Marvel movies. I think I'm just getting tired of all these Superhero movies. The only one at the moment I'm actually looking forward to is Suicide Squad.
Who?

You can't keep a good Chiss down.

Anka seems to consult on a lot of the Sideshow Statues. I see his name in the credits a lot.
Have they shown Chiss in the new Canon/TCW material?
Freezasaurus

I don't know for sure, my guess would be maybe the appearance of random Chiss characters in Star Wars Rebels or something.
WadiumArcadium

No, I don't think so.
I looked it up and apparently a few feature in the Star Wars Commander mobile game which is canon.
They should do this, I loved the design.
But then again, I have the feeling that it looks stupid in Live Action...

SO MANY THINGS look stupid in live-action. I hate to say it, but nine times out of ten, weird skin colors look so bad in live-action. Green skin for sure. Blue skin can be alright. Nebula was pretty good in Guardians.
But Chiss have also red eyes and everything. Really depends.
Nebula looked cool because she wasnt all blue, she had that metallic thing on her head
Having seen both movies Civil War handles the same subject Matter as Batman V Superman so much better. Batman V Superman is 6.5/10 and Civil War is 10/10.

Secret Wars taught me that One More Day could have been avoided if Peter just hand a hamburger on him.
