  1. But isn't Surtur getting released in ragnarok? I wish we could get Anya or someone else for the Spiderverser. Big 90s Kaine would be a nice dream that'll never happen. Or recent Ben jackal. If only Chuck could make this a set Edit: also maybe it's just cause he's my favorite but I think classic Scarlet Spider Ben could use a redo. Minimates have come a long way since the FYE exclusive. I mean if they made red suit jackal Ben all they'd need is a different chest block and mask head for Scarlet Spider... but alas I think Barton is probably right :/
  2. Dang it now I want Skurge, Spider head guy, red/silver helmet guy, AND new Heimdall. That design is sick. Hopefully with DST finding another place to have exclusives we can fit all these in
  3. Decathalon Jacket would have gone a long way in making it a set that doesn't feel like a cheaper version of the Walgreens set
  4. Probably because he was cocky and talking and was younger @TENIME_art. We've seen him dodge stuff from behind so I have no doubt he has it. Remember this a YOUNG spidey. It takes people years to master the first 5. Just my reasoning anyway.
  5. Spoilers but this is about the Spider sense and how I see it @winkerbean @Gmonkey2k @stack32
  6. I definitely understand reasony. I wait for trades since you basically get 3 or so issues for free at about $15 a trade and 7-8? Issues in a trade usually. i mean marvel charges more per comic don't they? Most likely because they're pedaling a subpar product nowadays and need to charge more for every issue they're able to unload to try to make up for all the money they're losing printing and distributing. Unless it's the comic stores taking the hit for stocking em.
  7. Yeah it's clearly aimed at our demographic or younger but I can't stand it. Like just write the characters as people not as generic millennial stereotypes or stereotypes of quirky kids from when my age group was in middle school it's just sad. It's like if Steve Buscemi was an author
  8. Believe me I know >.< I'm a teenager and I'm totally smarter/a better archer/stronger/faster than (insert who they're replacing). Like a whole universe of Wally West's to their respective flash's. Except without the character development.
  9. Not to mention they're continually pushed even after the interest is shown not to be there. I don't understand how the people at marvel still have jobs. It's like hmmm maybe you could take some time to really sit down and plan a character, think of some character flaws, and map out their story and focus on building them slowly and piquing interest instead of a 1 shot origin, miniseries or "look who's taking over!"
  10. This was just about as perfect a Spider-Man movie as could be for me. Holland IS Spider-Man to me. We got a whole movie of a very realistic young Spidey. So much of what gets glossed over in the last two origin stories gets expanded on here. You get to see him develop as Spider-Man and it's glorious. A few questions for others who have seen this and my ONLY Criticism(s) spoilers
  11. Oh yeah... I think my brain automatically omits Miss America Chavez >.<

  13. Jeez :/ X-23 was one of the legacy characters I actually thought had... character lol. It's bad enough replacing all the A-listers at once but to replace them with more than one person at a time Is just silly. Who are the multiple replacements for Cap? Sam Wilson is the only one I know of and I think that's one that actually fits. I dig Sam Cap, Jane Thor, and X-23 but the others not so much.
  14. I've been waiting to watch them till I can buy them all and binge those and the alien movies, but my time and wallet have not been too forgiving. To this day the only one I've seen is Prometheus.
  15. Ive never even seen the movies but I know I want 10 of those ships
  16. I'd rather have it based on the actors than the comics for AoS but I agree I'd rather have that than a Spider-Man with kinda more accessories than the Walgreens counterpart. Cause that's what this set feels like.

  18. Jeez I was at least hoping for suited up shocker. This set is boring indeed.
  19. I'd be a big fan of that Rogue/Mrs. Marvel pack that was guessed. I think classic Mrs. Marvel needs an update.
  20. The 2 army men pack are one of the only packs I'm super interested in. If there were a hall of armor type pack full of just marines I'd buy like 3 just cause I like to troop build.
  21. Like I said, a lot of other comic fans I know, around my age group, have their gripes about inhumans already. So not only is there no support from casual fans, there are comic book fans that don't care for the inhumans already because they're perceived as trying to replace the x-men. Im not complaining at all about them trying to make the inhumans into a show or movie, I guess I could why you thought that though. Of course them making b-c list movies is what I want, obviously. I was talking more so about the cheap looking special effects, bad costuming choices, just overall low budget look from a corporate juggernaut. I want to see more comic related stuff on the TV but the shows look like their budget is not up to par. One of the main complaints of Iron Fist was that the budget couldn't even support showing Shou Lao. The Cloak and Dagger trailer looks like it'll focus on them becoming Cloak and Dagger, possibly to get out of using special effects as much as possible. Agents of Shield is about the only network show I can think of where it fits because they don't NEED as much of a budget. My main point was that it looks cheap and like not enough work went into it. I definitely get what you mean about Disney being "too big to fail" and of course I think they'll try to milk the superhero genre as much as they can or as long as it's profitable. The thing is that They're obviously skipping out on putting the money needed for this show and I think it'll bite them in the ass.
  22. I think the problem with Marvel trying to push properties like Inhumans that already doesn't have a big casual fan base or is divisive within the comic community because of the whole "replacing mutants" thing, is that for one it looks like they just don't know what they're doing. (At least in my opinion). The effects are cheap- LockJaw doesn't even look like he has a tuning fork on his head it just looks like some flat piece of metal stuck on him. Trying to push these properties and then playing fast and loose might be what finally kills the whole superhero franchise. Marvel/Disney is probably gonna take a hit on this and it might cause them to reevaluate their whole strategy with these movies. Especially with Downey and Evans hanging it up soon. I'm a huge fan of Carol Danvers but even in the comics she struggles to hold a solo series, do any of us really see her leading the movies? Holland could but there's already immense support for "kill him after 3 movies, kill him, kill him" not to mention the whole Sony thing. Boseman could help lead it but he's already 40 so he might have another 10 years or so. I don't know. Just worrisome cause I want more good comic entertainment and this just doesn't look good. I'm looking forward to series that could never happen otherwise like the defenders or even a midnight sons show and that won't happen if stuff like this tanks.
  23. I definitely get the argument against redos and if I could get the Hellfire Club in one wave with Jean instead of Selene I'd take it because I think that Jean face would be a lot better nowadays and since one was a variant. I'm always up for remakes though. The portraits are ALWAYS getting better and I know what it's like to see minimates of 90s era X-Man and the like that you grew up with going for more than it'd cost to buy 2 marvel legends. (Like seriously $40 for 2 inches of plastic?). I was really saddened that the best of and greatest hits was killed off before they rereleased everyone on that poster.
  24. First X-Men comic was something Fromm onslaught This was my First comic!
