    You spell dumpster weirdly.

    The dumpster is also in the art gallery

    Art is weird

    So it's Dadaist?

    One of the huge reasons I found The Winter Soldier is awesome is because it's maybe the best film I've seen at keeping the action clear and concise

    It felt like a definitive end to the awful Bourne shaky-cam-fight bullshit and I was so welcome to have it, it was like oh hey, a fight I can follow clearly onscreen, without having the camera shaking every two seconds so as to "immerse me in the spirit of the fight" or whatever bullshit justification they came up with for not holding a camera steady

    It looks like two different pieces of art, like he'd done the body and didn't have time to do the head, but he had a floating head he'd done earlier that wasn't quite right in size but fuck it. Like, the hair is blowing to the right but the string on her hooker-outfit is hanging straight down.

    Oh, Frank Miller. We'll always have Daredevil at least.

    Hmm, the variant cover for ASM #12 seems to have Peter sporting a new Spider-suit, perhaps for the story that's starting in this issue. I'll put it in the spoiler box just in case.
    ASM2015012-DC31-d6128.jpg

    It reminds me a little of the new Spidey-2099 suit. Hopefully they'll draw it again in some regular lighting to get a better idea on the suit's colors.

    The actress playing the Megyn Kelly role in these is really good! Al Madrigal also nails it. Love the production value they're throwing into these things a whole lot and hope we get some before Dr. Strange, as well.

    Kristine Everhart is actually a character from the first two Iron Man films.

    Also, I just discovered that WHIH news is the organization who scored the scoop on the Hulk attack at Culvar University.

    Some deep cuts on these things.

    It's also been the main news show on DareDevil, Jessica Jones and so on.

    Their twitter and youtube followers have significantly increased since they started this campaign (compared to last year when they started with Ant Man), so I hope they keep the youtube stuff as a regular pre film release thing, maybe with some twitter stuff to fill the gap between shows/films.

    Civil War update is out for Avengers Academy, though the event doesn't start til tomorrow

    Update text says Black Panther, Winter Solider, Madame Hydra, Crossbones, and Agent 13 (are we still hiding who that is) will be recruitable

    And apparently people looooove to datamine these updates for stuff coming later, so here's the kind of things they've found

    - Skins for basically everybody, and it sounds like one of them is the Cap outfit for Falcon?
    - Red Skull and Wonder Man will also be recruitable
    - There's a dating system coming

    This truly is the CW update

    we've known there's a dating system coming ever since the game was announced

    the devs said that there may be gay relationships allowed, which made tumblr people very happy

    It was also the News Network covering the Stark Expo in IM2 which Olivia Munn's character was working for.
    And the news network covering Fisk in Daredevil Season 1.
    And the news network covering Ward's brother in Agents of SHIELD.

    Basically, just check this page out to see how often they show up, because oh my god I had no idea.

    you tell your dudes to fight some dudes and then an animation plays of them exchanging blows and then you get items

    Why is there no cancel action button in this marvel academy game. I was screwing around with it to see what it was, and I accidently put Loki on a pointless action for 2h, because I thought it said 2m.

    The nuke was the World Security Council, wasn't it?

    Not the UN strictly speaking

    I really dig Villalobos!

    His Wolverine as a boxer thing was astonishingly great.

    Him and Stokoe are up there for me in terms of modern artists.

    Oh yeah Stokoe, he and villalobos are the 2 artists that I really don't care for. That hyperdetail thing just looks kind of....gross? I dunno if that's the right word to use, but it's like kind of fundamentally unsettling, and inhuman.

    So what you're saying is she really bought into Derek Zoolander's "Derelicte" fashion line? Or was she the inspiration?
