Finished X-Men '97 - what an epic finale 🤯 Tolerance is Extinction – Part 3. Best tv show I watched this year. Can't get enough of the Newton Brothers banger tracks - is there a full OST release already? Couldn't find it on Tidal yet.
🕸️ #NaData de hoje, mas em 1989, o Brasil vivia as crises econômicas do Cruzado Novo, e as revistas da #Marvel na Abril passaram a ter 68 páginas, exceto a do Homem Aranha, que em sua edição 71 manteve as 84 páginas e estampou na capa a chegada do uniforme negro.
I came up with a better way of how Wanda could've been handled in the MCU. She retains all the things she learned in WandaVision while still going on a path of villainy as her character so deserved. 1/n #marvel#mcu
The film will focus on Doctor Strange more than Wanda. The main villain will be Nightmare, with Mordo as a secondary antagonist. This comes after Spider-man: No Way Home, and Strange will deal with the consequences of the multiverse opening up on 616.
He will ask for Wanda's help to defeat Nightmare and Mordo, as well as closing the gaps between multiverses that were left open. 3/n #marvel#mcu
Early on in the movie, Doctor Strange warns Wanda about the dangers of the Darkhold; Wanda assures him that she is the only one powerful enough to keep the Darkhold safe.
Later, in a desperate attempt at resolving a very serious incursion, Wanda uses the Darkhold's magic. In a post-credit scene, Wanda's hands will be shown to turn darker and darker, signifying her slow corruption because of the Darkhold. 4/n #marvel#mcu

So yeah, in summary, I think the early MCU films are great cause they are full of character.
That they would go on to choke the life out of all mainstream cinema is unfortunate.
I had a moment of "Hey Tom, are you being unfair?" and no I don't think so. If a studio comes to dominate the cultural output of a medium, then they are open to all the criticism that comes with that.
It's so weird seeing people pleased to see Charles Xavier back saying his immortal line.
In the comics, just as Magneto has been on the side of the angels for the last twenty plus years, ol' chuck X has been a moderately unrepentant asshole, soundly shunned by his one-time "Son", Scott Summers and even given lessons in morality by Emma Frost, the White Queen! And lately he figured he could save Mutantkind from eternal dominion by shooting child Moira McTaggert in her past. He was prevented from doing so (thank you, Rachel Summers) but only after he pulled the trigger.
The Onslaught storyline in the early 90s was among the first to really take the shine off his character, Onslaught's revelations re: Xavier's secret 'love' of his underage student, Jean Grey, serving to shatter trust and cast him in a much darker light. Subsequent stories, such as revelations he knew all along Scott had another brother, simply pushed him further away from his original portrayal os a moral guiding light for the X-Men, undoubtedly leading to their wholesale departure from him in the Utopia era, Cyclops' ascendance as the mutant driving force ("Cyclops Was Right") and Magneto's welcome into the fold as a more or less permanent state of affairs. There was a fair amount of revisitiation of earlier decisions too; looking at how he talks a very noble game but in practice he oversteps moral boundaries almost as a matter of course, wiping the minds of entire towns to protect the X-Men's identities, leaving people to believe him dead (as he just did in the cartoon...!) and more besides.
He's also a fairly crappy father to his son, David a.k.a Legion. I have one of those so it's less easy to forgive him that. Even in the Krakoan era (Krakoa is for ALL Mutants) where the likes of Apocalypse and Mr Sinister were made members of the governing council, he mistook David's peaceful reconciliatory overtures as David seeking revenge, and -get this- struck back first. Even when he's Winning at Life he's still a jerk (Thank you for that immortal insult, Kitty Pride).
And going purely by the cartoon let's not gloss over his arrogant presumption in calling for "his" X-Men when his Will handed them wholesale to Magneto, and he's subjected them all to the pain and grief of his loss for MONTHS.

That's right: In honor of May the Fourth, we have a very special Star Wars edition of Dollar Bin Discoveries!
Apparently #Marvel retired the original skull logo for #ThePunisher because it was being used by alt right extremists.
Are they really that surprised that a pro America white terrorist is relatable to alt right groups? I've only watched the #MCU#Netflix shows, but he was never portrayed as any sort of hero.
@icedquinn@vriska@sun Well, he doesn't really make sense in most superhero contexts. He has no superpowers beyond being "really good". I kept having to pinch myself while watching #ThePunisher because it didn't feel like it was #Marvel-related at all, even with #Daredevil cameos.
I don't think that the #MCU could or would do anything without characters who have superpowers. I think the only time they've done this is #Hawkeye.
