Red Mosquito

Other than being a little gun shy about re-arranging the forums, I don't feel strongly either way.

Maybe a better solution would be to merge the Disney Plus shows into a thread and/or merge sequels into each other (ie 1 Captain America thread, 1 Black Panther thread, etc), there would be questions about whether something like Ms. Marvel goes into the D+ thread or the Captain Marvel thread, but since her whole thread is a single page, would it really matter?

I enjoy popping up new threads once a year for ComicCon, but that's mostly b/c it triggers the A&E snowflakes, not b/c I think they're necessary.

Just combine all superhero movies with the star wars forum. "Star Wars/Marvel, etc."

There's the solution.

We'll make a "Grown Up Stuff" subforum. Of course you'll have age verification to enter. Just to keep the kiddies out.

i assume this will include porn

And cigarettes

We'll call it the "Booze, Boobs and PT Anderson" subforum

We could just split A&E into 2 subforums:
Serious Arts and Entertainment
Fun Arts and Entertainment

Smart Arts
Dumb Arts

Movies, TV, and franchises

I like it.

Why do frat boys always have to come up with cutesy names for everything?

I'm not anti-marvel or Star Wars or dumb shit in general. I grew up on shared fictional universes. I post in the rastlin' thread. But whatever Disney is doing, it's its own thing.

There's just so much of it

A subforum called Superhero Media or Marvel/DC makes sense, sort of like we have this thread

Good idea

Ben Kingsley to Reprise Trevor Slattery Role in Marvel Studios’ Wonder Man Series at Disney+



Ben Kingsley is poised to reprise the role of Trevor Slattery in the upcoming Wonder Man series from Marvel Studios at Disney+, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

The show was first revealed to be in the works back in June. It will focus on the Marvel character Simon Williams, a.k.a. Wonder Man. In the comics, Williams is the son of a wealthy industrialist whose company falls on hard times due to competition from Tony Stark’s Stark Industries. Williams then accepts an offer from villain Baron Zemo that gives him ionic superpowers including super strength and durability. After fighting the Avengers several times, Wonder Man ultimately joined their ranks.



Kingsley returning as Slattery lends credence to reports that the show is intended to be a Hollywood satire, as it has been established that Slattery is a failed actor and Wonder Man has been an actor and a stuntman in the comics. Exactly how Kingsley would factor into the plot of the series and how many episodes he would appear in is being kept under wraps, but sources say he will play a major role.

Reps for Kingsley declined to comment. Marvel Studios does not comment on projects in development.

Kingsley first portrayed Slattery in “Iron Man 3.” In that film, Slattery has been hired to portray a terrorist leader known as The Mandarin, but his true identity is revealed in the end and he is arrested. He then appeared in the short film “All Hail the King,” which shows Slattery in prison before he is broken out by someone working for the real Mandarin. Most recently, Kingsley played Slattery in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” He was taken prisoner by The Mandarin, Shang-Chi’s father Xu Wenwu, who kept him alive as a sort of court jester. Shang-Chi and his friends eventually help him escape and he in turn helps them defeat Wenwu.

The role reunites Kingsley with Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed and co-wrote “Shang-Chi” and will serve as an executive producer and co-creator on the Wonder Man series.

Andrew Guest will serve as head writer on the Wonder Man show. Cretton will executive produce and possibly direct on the series in addition to serving as co-creator with Guest. Cretton is currently under an overall deal with Marvel Studios and Onyx Collective, the announcement of which coincided with the announcement that Cretton would return to direct and write the sequel to “Shang-Chi.”

We should make a Wonderman thread.
