Good reminder that we need to be cool on dropping quotes and other spoilers in here.

I'm soooooooooo close to be clicking those spoilers since yesterday. It's kinda like promising not to touch the bbq food before the rest comes ^^

Blame Universal for not allowing World War Hulk to happen. Would be pretty badass though.

I blame everyone XD I just want my badass Hulk to rip everything apart.

lol I mean I know where you're coming from with that. I'll stick with one aspect of excellence in a sea of it.

Yea that's fair, but I don't blame him for loving the performance so much lol.

She's pretty much the best version of the offbeat weird girl character trope and that's pretty much one of my all time favorite character archetypes. To put it in perspective, my favorite character in Harry Potter is Luna Lovegood.
Its also really close to my personality: really weird yet amusing and ridiculously intelligent.

World War Hulk would be a better plot for the Avengers than the Thanks pot and Infinity Gems one they are shooting for.

I don't think we'll never see a Hulk at the power level required to make that what it actually needs to be. They'd also need to make entire series of films or shows around it to have it be even flirty with how massive that event was. The biggest problem is that they would have needed to established everyone by the time that event happens, and that would take forever to get to. They'd have to switch Sentry with Captain Marvel or some shit. Strange isn't established yet either. Daughters of the Dragon I don't think is even on the books. So much more that would be wasted if they didn't get around to it.

The Illuminati haven't been established too. That was one of the biggest reason that Hulk was mad, to begin with.

It's easier to move pieces of the board with Thanos.

Marvel's big problem is that the Avengers exist. For example, IM3. Love the movie, but why in thee fuck didn't Tony call Cap when government officials were in play? SMH did a good job of making it a Spider-Man focused story, but IM still shows up. Hulk is in Thor, IM was in Spider-Man, and the whole damn cast was in Cap 3. Even stuff that's way down the line like Ant-Man is "and The Wasp". They don't seem to be able to tell single character stories any more unless it's a new character like Strange and that's a shame.

Though if they wanted to really shake things up, they could have everyone surviving the Infinity sequence only to die via Scarlet Witch going crazy. Imagine ending a movie with that.

Also, Hulk still has rights issues.

Pretty much the root of the problem. You can't create a massive multi movie and tv show event (and it would HAVE to bleed into the Netflix and ABC shows) with rights not tucked away. Otherwise it's just hulk and crew came back and had to get busted up by even better Stark tech. They don't have the players in place.

I don't require much to be satisfied.
Just have the the story up to it and during it be flashbacks from the Hulks or the others perspective so the audience can get a glimpse into why his rage is getting fueled.
You don't need more than the current rooster with Stark standing in the middle making the announcement and asking for different opinions and if no. Hulk is shot into space.

Man gonna sit down and read some old issues now. I need it.

Checking work mail. The old world wide dudes really liked me. Wasn't expecting anything until the end of the week but got a mail now that want me to show the benefits of educating the workforce. Heh, now to order a translation of the recent study. All other, already established, studies prior to it apparently aren't good enough.
But hey progress. Talking to a friend and this LOVA education they had for all their workforce, management as well, really helped. Not everyone took to it but apparently the environment is better and they managed to cut their sick days with 28% the first 6 months. I'm still mad but I'm also a bit excited again BCT. Even hopeful.
 
Yeah, it doesn't have to be beat for beat perfect to the comics and he'll they've got Hulk already on War World. Just leave his ass there and show how he got there late, all the TV show heroes are low level anyway all they'd needed to show it's then laying low and helping civilians and wounded. It's not that damn hard but what we get is a villain that requires both huge amounts of force to beat but compassion because he's their friend and they did it to him.

Hell, the SHIELD council and Nick Fury did it, it doesn't have to be another Tony fuck up.

He would have to be Banner brain in Hulk body as well. Because his life off world and his return was not just dumb brute force.

The most interesting stories in WWH where about the shit he brought back with him, and how they utterly fucked NY. Could make a knock off Brood I guess.

True enough. I just don't like IM. He is a fuck up and the one to make him is Robbie... Also I really dislike it but man I was so on IMs side in Civil war II. Thus I dislike Danvers so much more for forcing me to even take a comic book stand 😂😂

Oh btw Preacher, you've been along a while. You have anything that you believe is a must read?

Well from my understanding it was both of them together during PH. They finally went at it together. Banner realised that he couldn't survive without big green on Sakar and big green needed Banners smart.
So after PH and during WWH Banner was as pissed as Hulk was. Finally stopped holding him back as much....ok ok I just wanna see the Hulk smash everything XD
 
Y'know, thinking of zombies...

I thought i'd really be into them, seemed like a cool concept to make a story off of.

Turns out I only really like the Dawn of the Dead remake and kinda 28 Days Later. I think other zombie movies are boring as hell. Zombies are only scary to me when they're running.

Watch Shaun of the Dead if you haven't.

Fury did say that the jet went down in the water. Not out of the atmosphere. But I don't think they're going that route with how he ends up off world. And WWH only really works because he's coming back to fuck up the Earths finest for their betrayal. Dude has to have that anger and that loss to fuel the absolute damage he does. That also only works in a real Hulk movie which we ain't gonna get. When he comes back he might tear something up until they get him to sniff Black Widows wrist or some shit.

I'm laughing way more than I should but I can definitely see it.
Hulk smashing everything within sight and there comes BW whistling some tune, Hulk calms down, she stretches out her hands, palms up, Hulk breaths in and calms down.

Castlevania was pretty alright. Definitely interested in seeing more, so I'm glad it got a quick confirmation for a season 2.

Makes me want to play SotN or Aria/Dawn of Sorrow.
 
Biggest issue is that Fox IIRC still owns the rights of primary distribution for a standalone Hulk film. It's why Thor is a "Thor" film but we all know it's a damn Hulk movie.

If they didn't, or hell if they even had the F4 in their back pocket, the MCU would be infinitely more interesting IMO.

thanks for reminding me I have a couple more hours left to drink before work tomorrow.

alky-pops though, not the hard stuff on a school night
 
That was my actual first thought. It was the one attempt at being responsible the entire ordeal would get out of me.

Wanna see a human being vomit black liquid? That's what happens to me every time I drink too much. It's like the Penguin in Batman Returns. Daniel Day Lewis could have used me as research for There Will Be Blood.

I think you and I SHOULD road trip.

We should vo6on a road trip.

Boy you know those wine coolers knock you on your ass

Who drink wine coolers? I can't stand them 🙃

We shouldn't drink to much on that road trip.
 
So, I've been doing some genealogy research, and I found Scottish rapist slave owner who due to his moral failing is one of my ancestors.

Not sure what to feel/do about this.
 
Zendaya was the best part of the movie *by far*. She fucking killed everything. Oh and in case anyone was wondering, what happened in the last scene before credits is happening. They aren't gonna head fake or roll that back.

And seriously? How fucking refreshing was it to have such a diverse cast?
It took me out of the film to not have everyone in NYC and DC be white. Maybe if they were criminals it would be believable in this superhero film

I realized that I asked my question a few pages back but didn't do the questionnaire. Sorry about that. I don't wanna take up much space, but I'll periodically post as I go through my list of media I was recommended through the thread I made before about important pieces of Black media.

Where you're from - US
Where you live - Japan
What is your age? - 25
Your cultural heritage, lineage and genealogy - Mostly German and Irish
Do you know your roots - Pretty much as far back as my family came to the US. One of my ancestors founded Salem, Mass.
Favorite musical genre - Favorite? That's tough. Probably Rock, because that's extremely general, but on a daily basis I mostly listen to Indie Rock, Prog, Melodic Death Metal, Jazz, Rap, and Experimental stuff.
Your profession/major/career interest - Music is my main interest.
Your religious affiliation - Nothin'
Hobbies - Playing guitar, reading comics (Japanese and Western), gaming, drinking whiskey
KFC, Popeye's, Churches, or Bojangles? - Only KFC in Japan, so KFC.
Marvel or DC? - Both, but mostly Image.
Favorite superhero? - Another hard question. Batwoman or maybe Gambit? I really don't know.
Anime or Nah? - Very rarely. I don't like most of it.
Favorite sport and team? - If I had to choose... Baseball: Red Sox. I don't follow sports at all, though.
What's your favorite Disney movie? - Mulan.
What's your favorite video game and genre? - I probably like Action RPGs most, but my favorite game is either Resident Evil 4, NieR Automata, or Taiko no Tatsujin.

Thanks for having me.

doing a entire Phase of depowered heroes via Scarlet Witch ala how Jubilee had to use tech when she got depowered and before vampism

I need more self-loathing in the next Spider-Man movie. That and more fuel for my Peter/

How's everyone doing this beautiful morning? The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the skies are clear. My gosh I just feel like singing a jolly jingle all all day. Peace be upon you fellow children of the earth. May all your days be blessed and celebrated.

Finally worked out my medication schedule

I want to call out sick today. I woke up this morning feeling more content and comfortable than I've felt in months.

It would stand out as another team is hosting a lunch to congratulate me for helping them out in a project, though.

Morning, y'all.

Any particular heroes that you are interested in? With that I and Slauven could probably get you straight.

Actually interested in everything to broaden my horizon. Hulk, Spiderman(PP/MM), Black Panther, Thanos, Deadpool and Luke Cage I've got down. Asked a few years back and Slay recommended Priests run and boy I was not disappointed.
Atm I'm looking at the Karnak Saga but something feels wrong just from the onset so I haven't bought anything. Also looking to get back into X-men but after the Phoenix five I've just lost interest. Was not a good place to start reading after a decades hiatus so gone back to read random arcs...yes I look at the cover and decide that way XD

So whatever, I don't have any favourite outside of Hulk, Power Man and Spidey. Read something of everything Marvel and never really detested anyone outside of Danvers and old Iron Man. Outside of their drinking problems they never where interesting.

DC on the other hand....I'm blind. I remember loving some old 80s run with Darkseid and actually enjoying it a lot. DC never really got established here outside of Supes and Batman so I never asked for them or cared much. Ready to change it.
Recommend away, I'm free today and tomorrow from work anyway. Still have 25 vacation days I must get rid off according to HR.
 
Happy Monday. Spiderman was too lit. The more I think on it the better I feel about it. Great personal villian. And finding out the truth about Gambinos character had me so hyped.

well at 3 am in the morning on my ass is probably where I need to be :p

I'm not bringing out the whisky and lemonade when I'm just going to sleep on it.

Aizo: your question was a good one, i just don't have any answers that wouldn't come from long discussion.
