Caved in and picked up Taskmaster via eBay, but still managed to keep it under 30 bucks so I didn't feel too bad about it. Sharon Carter arrives tomorrow! Whoot!
The loose Morbius is fodder for a custom project that I've decided to take a crack at after spotting a custom elsewhere using his body for the formula. I'll be sure to let people know what it is, and how it turns out when I finally get to working on it...

Yay Scarlet Witch! I loved that she was in AoU but that was just her introduction so I hope she has plenty more to do in the MCU.
Potential SPOILERS supposedly somebody on Iron Man's team is actually working with Cap. In the comics both Vision and Black Panther are actually on Cap's side but for the film they'll apparently be with Iron Man, though the exact setup is different in the first place so it could mean nothing. I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, as soon as that plot detail was revealed I had my theory on who it would be, based on interactions in previous movies, and I'm sticking with that. The poster only solidifies my theory.

I wonder if the Legends Scarlet Witch goes with her look from the end of Age of Ultron or her slightly tweaked Civil War one.

I would really prefer the one from AOU. The more leathery look. The one from Civil War looks like a rip off of X-Men The Last Stand Jean Grey....

I'm Team Cap all of the way. I don't agree with Tony's assnine views of super heroes having to register themselves to the government to pay for damages.
Whoever told you Supergirl sucks only watched the first two episodes. Supergirl has been down right excellent since the fifth episode. It is well written, the characters are lovable and most of all, it knows it is a super hero show. It is colorful, hopeful, and Kara is what DC wishes their cinematic Kal-El could be. Quote:

Arrow has gone through some rough patches. You say you stopped at episode 6, but come on, no show can find its footing that quickly in the first season. The only reason Supergirl and Flash are already near perfect is thanks to Arrow starting first. Arrow's first season got better around episode 10, the second season was fantastic, the third season was average, and the fourth season has been as good as the second thus far.

Jessica Jones though, is a mess. Jessica is the first character I really wanted to see [spoiler]die at the end and have the villain win.[spoiler] I hate her as a person and I really don't want to see her again taking up that much screen tie. I did enjoy teh Neo Noir aspect of the show, but it did not need to be 13 episodes long as it felt really padded out. It would have worked much better as an 8-10 episode series.

/complaints about Jessica Jones and other characters in the series being whiny
Mmmm-hm. Let's see how y'all fare with having your brain overridden while you're aware but unable to do anything about it, and suffering PTSD (among a number of other mental issues, I'm sure), and I'll bet there'll be plenty of 'complainers' there, too. |

It needed nudity not just nypd blue esque side boob and such. And honestly whos bright idea was it to give Jessica " who the bloody hell has heard of her aside fom basement dwelling nerds" jones a tv show anyways. I can think of a bazillion other characters who should be headlining their own show.

I'm not totally sure but I think the Defenders in some type or another recently were Jones/Iron Fist/Luke Cage/Daredevil. So the plan is to make each one their own series and then do a Defenders series.

Maybe....but at this rate all the actors are gonna be senior citizens before that happens. They should just do a defenders series with maybe an episode dedicated to a brief history catch up of the character rather than dragging out seasons of each character. Granted i am jonesing for an iron fist series providd they dont cock it up by race changing danny rand, a rumor goin round, but seems doin the defenders series would make more sense.

Actually the main rumor/news about an Iron Fist show for Netlfix is that there won't be one and he'll just be the main supporting character on Luke Cage's show.

I could care less about Danny Rand's race. I have no idea why this subject continues to draw so much controversy.
I wouldn't count on those being accurate, tbh. The marketing posters show Sharon Carter and no Scarlet Witch when the trailers and Super Bowl spot make it look like it's the other way around. |

It's way too late for that. Luke Cage is already filming.
I wouldn't mind it since Jean stole it from Wanda anyway, LOL. Red flowing stuff was her thing. |

What about his Whiteness is so critical to Danny's character, exactly?

Is the name 'Danny/Daniel' somehow tied to him being white? Is 'Daniel' an exclusively Caucasian name? No, no it's not. Jesus, that's some extremely flawed reasoning. That he couldn't be called 'Danny Rand' just because he's not white. Hell, actor Daniel Henney? He's half-Korean, and looks like it. So get out of here with that nonsense kind of logic. Yeesh. That's seriously dependent on how strongly a character's cultural identity/ethnicity/etc ties into their motivations, origin, and personality. For instance, using your same examples, Superman wouldn't be all that much affected by being changed to Asian, provided he was still raised with the same kind of morals and ethics. Wonder Woman, on the other hand, is very closely tied to the culture of Themyscira, which itself stems from ancient Greece. Thus, her culture and cultural identity is very important to her character.

Mexican isn't a race, Superman was played by a 1/4 Japanese man for 4 years and no one batted an eye, and Wonder Woman's being played an Israeli. None of that makes any difference to their characters.

Because danny rand is long established as a white male. To counter point why not have a NEW character made to be an asian iron fist? New character as ironfist instead of lazily doin the whole race change thing. To your logic we should have an illegitamte white son for black panther, since they did it for nick fury.
