    Jake Gyllenhall is Moon Knight

    Having just watched Enemy

    Yeah

    Yeah this is fucking perfect casting
    Just imagine beardy, wide-eyed Gyllenhaal standing over a thug yelling WHAT ARE YOU and he just gets a slight smile and says

    I'm not real

    And then decks him

    I guess the main problem with casting a known and famous actor is that all of Moon Knight's best costumes feature full-face masks

    You wouldn't get to see that smile

    Iron Man gets that neat close-up-against-black to represent him in the cockpit, Spider-Man takes off his mask at every opportunity no matter what movie he's in

    Even Dredd has a mouth to scowl with!

    Eh they'd do what they do with Cap and Spider-Man and have him wear the costume a lot but lose the mask in a fair amount of scenes

    Sources close to the matter say that one Blank Zilla is in fact Marvel Studios. All of it.

    I don't think he's Bronx enough. He's too straight man for it.

    Ben is a different sort of gruff.

    I think he's got more range than you're giving him credit for

    He played a gentle stoner in Bob's Burgers and a ridiculous pirate in the Lego Movie

    I think he could put on a Bronx accent and mannerisms

    This week's AoS was better than last week's but it still feels a bit like filler. I wish they'd hit the ground running.

    Still, it was a pretty damn fun episode.

    I would expect MCU Civil War to be as close of an adaptation as Winter Soldier was

    that is, outside of basic themes and a few moments not really one of much at all

    Finally got around to Moon Knight 7 and 8

    7 left me kinda lukewarm, and I hate the way Smallwood draws Mr. Knight's white mask--he looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost

    I liked 8 a lot more. It felt like the 8th issue of this series, instead of the second issue of the current creative team.

    Well, the only way I'd read that thing would be if a licensed medical doctor told me I'd die if I didn't, so...

    on point, DC?

    I'm watching tonight's Flash right now

    I love how silly and comic booky this show is

    Stuff like
    "Oh no! I forgot to change into my street clothes before heading to work!"

    is perfectly old school

    Jeeze Superman eat a sandwich.

    Seriously though that looks great. I came around to Lex being a good guy when in the Robin Reborn issue the JL fight fight Apocalypse dudes and Lex enters by blasting a guy yelling "I'm Lex Luthor, Welcome to Earth!".

    Wish I could find that panel.

    I'm gonna be real honest

    After the medicinal use joke, my eyes slid completely off the image and I didn't see that it actually explains what's in the bag. I'm still kind of confused.

    She is! I haven't read how it resolved but the first post Forever Evil arc was about her and how she turned it into a force for good

    Well, that's something. I guess if you're going to kill off a bunch of old characters no one remembers you might as well do something interesting with the remains.

    Now I'm watching Agents of SHIELD
    I'm kind of impressed with the Fitz storyline so far. There's something I appreciate about hallucination-Simmons being as positive as she is, it would have been such an awful cliche if she were constantly telling him to isolate himself, because none of the others understand you, man, and you'll show them!

    In general I feel like Fitz's arc has been handled pretty well, so far. I really hope he doesn't just get magically cured or something.

    I am surprised that fitzSimmons have become the most interesting characters on the show

    But the other parts of the show are not very good

    I've always liked FitzSimmons, personally, but they have definitely only gotten more interesting

    I'm also really enjoying the rest of the parts too, though

    In general the show feels a lot more focused and I'm really digging it
