    That whole thing was fucking awful though. She should never been Madame Web in the first place.

    Yeah it's reductive. There's no character there it's just being a plot device because that's all you can really do with an unreliable seer.

    there was an arc in USM where Sable is hired to (and does) capture spider man, but then her team aren't sure it's actually him because he's a kid (and aren't sure they want to kidnap a kid anyway) and shenanigans ensue

    that'd be good fodder for a spider man film

    Like, that story was all about Gorr saying "Gods are shit! Gods abandoned me! Gods are a blight on the universe, and must all be killed!" and Thor proving him wrong by being everything Gorr says Gods aren't. By being brave, noble and willing to sacrifice himself for the good of others, by being humble and seeing the worth of every being regardless of status or circumstance.

    Why the fuck would Nick Fury saying that Gorr was right to Thor make him suddenly lose his confidence and worthiness? That doesn't make any sense!.

    Huh actually...isn't that also the exact plot of the recent issues of
    Dr.Strange End of Magic

    he never really proves Gorr wrong, though
    he beats Gorr, but if anything Gorr is proof of his own argument that godly power tends to make people capricious and cruel

    also a lot of the reason that arc works is that it introduces a lot of gods you aren't quite sure don't deserve to get knifed anyway

    That was also a good hook for Ultimate Black Cat.

    I guess since Sable is a mercenary she could be hired to stop Black Cat, so instead of a teamup the movie would be a cat-and-mouse, spy vs. spy type thing

    Would be a good fit for Chameleon to show up

    It's a better idea than a Venom movie that skips the Symbiote/Parker storyline

    Honestly I'd be pretty into a spy-v-spy movie with those two. Either one trying to stop the other or, better yet, they're both after the same job and when a third party makes things difficult they have to team up but both plan to also betray the other at the last minute.

    Iron Fist #1 was pretty good

    Not mind blowing or anything, but it set the stage of the book's first (and probably only judging from the utter lack of buzz I've seen about it and the general response towards Iron Fist right now) arc well enough. It's got a near rock bottom Danny Rand but it doesn't feel like the grim bullshit of Living Weapon. It also immediately goes "hey, come with me to mystical hidden island for a magic kung fu tournament" which immediately makes it better than anything to come out of Living Weapon.

    Also, the letters section is named Everybody was Kung-Fu Writing

    This face seems like it totally sums up Iron Fist on a production level and a response level.

    I dunno man, it's not their fault their big break turned out to be for a last minute cram that they didn't have time to prepare for or have an adequate script. I bet they were super excited about it! And a few even turned out decent performanc.
