Hey, how's your Vision?
Still the coolest superhero, sweet.
If you haven't already, you should go see Avengers: Age of Ultron! It has Vision in it and some other chumps.
Here's a list of upcoming superhero films! Some of them have Vision in them, and the other ones probably aren't as good!
Superhero TV shows are also pretty good right now! Arrow, based on the Green Arrow, is in season 3. Flash has had a wonderful inaugural season, and Agents of SHIELD is still doing pretty well for itself in season 2! And then on the Netflix side of things, there's the first season of Daredevil, which is rad as heck, even if it does have a
complete lack of Vision.
In other superhero news, there's also a
crazy superhero tournament thing going on over in Graphic Violence, organized by our very own
The Geebs That Knows Everything About Animorphs Son of Beyonder!
Ooh, last thing! Our wonderful
@Mr. G has put together a
list to rank all of your favorite MCU movies! Contribute, so that we may all judge you when you admit you like the wrong movies! Plus it'll give
@Vivixenne more data to work with for her
mad experiments statistical analysis, and who doesn't want that?
Without further ado, let's talk superheroes! Mind your spoilers, folks!

Still more to come! As you can tell I spent a fair amount of time just looking at the Iron Man trilogy. :P
It makes me wonder who on earth thought it was the bright colours that made that movie fail and not the fact that it was just a shitty adaptation based on a misunderstanding of who/what Green Lantern is.
are the Guardians going to show up in Infinity War?
We don't know yet, but it'd be a wasted opportunity if they didn't.
the real problem is that they both placed Winter Soldier at #11
which makes even LESS sense
Yeah, I'm pretty sure those guys are just backwards.
So who the heck do we think Martin Freeman will be playing?

Then #6 by 4 people.
One of them said he did actually put his in backwards
I forget who though
that's super specific
I wanna know if he's going to be a goodie or a baddie
At first I was all:

Seriously guys, everything was starting to be all right and we're getting ground underneath things, but you just HAD to yank the rug out, didn't you!?!?
.....I might be channeling my inner Kyle MacLachlan here....
I think they'll make an appearance at least.
They already know about Thanos too, so they might go after him when he moves against Earth (or try to warn the Earth heroes before he attacks).

I mean seriously
this has nothing to do with him being my Old Man Crush, he just looks the part and in my brain he even sounds the part
there is about a 100% chance they'll show up in either part one or part two
I'd wager most characters they've introduced find their way in there at some point
He sounds the part probably cause you heard him voicing Dr. Fate on Justice League and JLU. Which isn't to say it's not what we all wanted...
AoU spoilers
Dude should stay dead
These movies need to have some kind of stakes and every major non-villain death has been either reversed or revealed to be a lie
I have loved him since seeing him in the Mummy movies
I didn't know how badly I wanted him to be Dr Strange until the Dr Strange movie was announced
(I've only seen a handful of episodes of Justice League and JLU)
oh god yes me, too
it's the only reason why I haven't installed it
If he does come back somehow, it could be as a resurrection-gone-wrong and he turns out to be a villain or something and ends up dead again. Which is only slightly less lame than him coming back whole.
However, so does literally everyone else
That's kind of the point. Everything dies and then Battleworld is born.
I always felt that there was an odd tension there. It seemed like Whedon himself wasn't sure if he agreed with Mal's mean-spirited jokes or not. I felt like Inara was characterized as generally having the moral high ground, but at the same time nobody in the show seemed to really take Mal's mean-spirited jokes very seriously.
ONE OF US ONE OF US
Do it do it do it do it
Shame. It was a nice ship.
Why I fear the ocean.
Well I mean I kind of assumed that was the case based on Deadpool #45.
Well I was thinking about trying it out this evening since I have some free time then, but that's off-peak time in the US which means I will be pretty much playing alone. Orrrrr I could just park on the couch and finish Ori and the Blind Forest first.
We'll see.
It is that the dude is so hellbent on getting people mad at Marvel that he completely ignores context
You need to watch the ones where Oded Fehr is Dr. Fate. It'll make your night, trust me.
