    A lot of spoilers. I skimmed and skipped most of it. Sounds like it's going to be awesome though!

    Marvel: Phase Two

    I forgot all about that One Shot. It was one of the weaker ones, to be honest. I think they even said in an interview that they blew their budget on all the others, so they just basically had to be sitting in a cafe talking for the most bar. Yeah, X-2 and Spiderman 2 are the "best" of those...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    Hulk, no. Incredible Hulk, yes. Incredible Hulk is officially part of the MCU. You should see IH, it's quite good. The one with Eric Bana was awful. I think as far as the films go, though, the MCU is mostly avoiding IH for the most part, unfortunately. Probably due to the Norton/Ruffalo...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    I think 1998's Blade and 2000's X-Men films kickstarted the modern "film world" franchise opportunity, but at a significant loss to Marvel Studio's available character roster later. If I'm not mistaken, the films alone were what pulled Marvel out of Chapter 11 and into the success it has become...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    Almost all of those things listed as problems of the medium of "film" are equally just as bad if not worse in the comic format, though. We may not have "recastings" in the comics, but they kill off characters, replace them, have the heroes go bad, etc. Not to mention reboots, retcons...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    It's moving fairly rapidly for as many people and characters as are involved. Sure, I'd love to get them much faster, but at the current pace there's roughly a flagship film every 6 months or so. In the last year we've had Iron Man 3, Thor 2, Cap 2, and GotG by the time a year rolls around...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    Yeah, lame. I'd at least expect them to drop a featurette for GotG on there instead. I assumed the home video would release a week or 2 prior to Guardians, with at least an inside look or first 10 min of footage or some shit. I was honestly expecting SOME one-shot, though. That sucks.

    Does anyone else get a weird "blocked due to virus" message when going to screenrant?

    Marvel: Phase Two

    It could be cool to somehow tile them and frame them for a home theatre room one day. Like if you had 2 or 3 real vintage movie posters framed, and then that? I used to keep all my stubs too, then lost them in my fire. So since then I've said fuck it, since they're all digital and not as cool...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    It holds up on the second viewing. I think I enjoyed it even more, to be honest. I caught little quips and one-liners that I missed the first time around, plus little details like the shield, etc. One thing I thought of after the second viewing, is that Arnim Zola is no idiot and surely isn't...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    I was bored after barely leaving the house since I got back from Hawaii, and decided to hit up the movies to catch a second viewing of Cap2. Was the only one in the theater! :thumbsup: One thing that I missed during the first viewing is when Cap's in the hospital at the end of the film, his...

    Marvel: Phase Two

    Wonder if somehow Ultron gains control of the Iron Legion and that's part of who they have to fight? Can't wait for Avengers 2. The first one all but skullfucked previous notions of what a comic book film could do at the box office, and who knows how much more A2 will escalate that.

    Anime trash. Yeah, I said it. Trash. I haven't seen a single anime that interested me one bit. :thumbsup:

    Marvel Legends

    I have half a Sentinel in pieces, then 2 complete ones that I bought off eBay. I have a leg, but I think it's the left one (his left, our right if you're facing him). Pretty sure it came with a carded Angel, and then I got Sinister off eBay loose, without the Sentinel part. (This was like 5-6...

    Marvel Legends

    Fucking finally. I heard it had been put on hold to rejigger the actual figure assortment, but that's completely new, no? And what the fuck is with the distribution? one tiny arm, one tiny head, one tiny arm, and then a whole goddamn torso and legs with Storm, and then Wolverine doesn't even...

    Agent Carter

    I don't, you retards! I was saying that's one way to tie the series together (or some other lame way). I hope they don't tie together other than maybe a villain or MacGuffin gets introduced in Carter and picks up in SHIELD or something of that nature, versus something cheesy like time travel.
