the funny thing about she-hulk


fans: "why doesnt marvel follow the comics faithfully"

Marvel "I present to you She-hulk"


people bitch about it.

personally i loved she-hulk for what it was. an introduction to a character and their new found powers

ms marvel was enjoyable also

i think what is bothering secret invasion to most is it isnt a superhero show. at best its a weaker bourne identity. i like it as it fleshes out Nick a lot more than we ever got to see.

This probably should’ve been a 90-120 minute movie

This could have been a movie, and Ant-Man could have been a series. New adventures in the quantum realm every week.

They couldn't pull off a single good adventure in the quantum realm, what makes you think they could make a whole show's worth?

Because they tried to cram too much in the movie. Let it breathe. Take off the panic, and there's lots of crazy shit to do down there.

Three enormous missed opportunities in Episode 5.

1. Why does Fury get in a car with Olivia Coleman and never ONCE suspect that she might be a Skrull?
2. The news shows a "shape shifting alien" saving the President, and then immediately reports that Nick Fury shot Maria Hill, without ever once asking, "could THAT have been a shape shifting alien?"
3. Why didn't Nick Fury shoot Rhodey in the hand and expose him as a Skrull?

No one in this show is acting like they live in a world where anyone can be an evil Skrull.

All that shade you’re throwing on Fury seems very racist.

I'm only 2/3rds racist. That puts me in the top 10% of Americans.

It blows my mind that anyone would see Quantumania and come away thinking "man that movie had too much going on!" To me it felt straight-up barren

I wouldn't say there was too much going on. There were too many unexplored opportunities. You could have them drop into the Quantum Realm and then have a bunch of episodes with Kang being the big bad sprinkled throughout until the finale.

1. Enter the Quantum Realm.
2. Meet/Fight/Resolve the Rebel People
3. Evangeline Lilly Side Quest
4. The Bill Murray Episode
5. The Ants Episode
6. The MODOK Episode
7. Cassie Learns to be an Ant-Man
8. Michael Pena Episode
9. Kang Wins Cliffhanger
10. Kang Loses

A gunshot is pretty triggering
