Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

In the UK, new, repressive rues intended to "protect the children from porn", have ended up with Spotify requiring facial recognition to ensure that children aren't listening to adult lyrics. A cycnical soul would suggest this is going to end up with a sharp spike in VPN usage and/or pirating having a second heyday.

It's getting hard and harder to ignore the increasingly desperate attempts by the US administation to deflect from the ongoing Espstein scandal and possibly from the upcoming diplomatic car-crash which will be the (likely) US/Russia-only discussions about the invasion of Ukraine, which are taking place later this week.

The chosen distraction this time is the mobilisation of the National Guard in Washington allegedly to combat rising crime (Which has actually been falling for several years)

Speaking of hostile infestations (too subtle a swgue?), Alien: Earth lands this week.

And speaking of macabre scenes... okay, I'll stop now, the first part of "Wednesday" season 2 arrived on Netflix

To end on a happier note, shooting for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has started in Glasgow, and Tom Holland has been being utterly delightful with a small fan who showed up to watch. Media stunt? I don't care, a small child met their hero, and that's always going to melt this shrivelled walnut of a heart.

Long time no see - Plus the MCU I have seen meme

Hello, hello, hello. Long time no see. I have been lurking on DW, reading your posts in silence like a creep and maybe sometimes commenting, but I haven't gotten round to posting in ages.

I should probably do a RL update (spoiler for those who don't follow me on Instagram: rerember how a few years ago I mentioned that one of my bucket ist items was getting into a gallery show? Well, I've had art in three group exhibitions in the last year and two more plus a small solo exhinition scheduled for next year), but I'l just start off easy with a meme ganked from [personal profile] muccamukk:

Bold = Watched Entirety
Italic = Watched Part
* Watched more than once.
† Watched in the first few weeks of release (at least initially, for TV shows).
(I'm skipping the watched more than once thing because I literally can't remember)

long-ass list of MCU movies and shows plus some musings )

Now, the reason why I'm even thinking about MCU again is because I actaully finished watching a thing when I went to see The Fantastic Four. The only reason I did so was because a) I really like Pedro Pascal and he hasn't let me down in anything yet, and b) I was promised it would be 100% stand-alone.

Non-spoilery review: It was 100% stand-alone (except for a brief mid-credit scene), and I can wholeheartedly recommend it even to people like me who have completely lost interest in the wider MCU, and have no interest in going back to it. And Pascal was very good in it, as was the whole cast. I really liked all four members of the team, and they felt like a real family (the humour was also more like the kind of stupid injokes that a family would have than Whedon-like quipping that a lot of other MCU movies have).

The plot was very predictable, but it was still very entertaining. In a weird way it reminded me a lot of early 00's superhero movies like the first two X-Men and Raimi's Spidermen. There was just something very charming and nostalgic about how simple it's story was. Also, visually the movie was very unique - not just the retro-futurism, but also the kaiju-imagery they used for Galactus.

On a more spoilery note, spoilery spoilers )

But in short, I really enjoyed watching Fantastic Four (even if it was a bit too heterosexual in general for my taste), and would watch a sequel if they ever make one, but as much as I liked the characters, I doubt their presence will be enough for me to want to watch The Avengers next summer.

Jubilee Takes Out the Trash



Despite what the cover may tell you, no, it's not Deadpool. His appearance I attribute solely to a marketing gimmick to justify putting him on the cover. No, this is really an overdue follow-up to what happened in last year's FCBD issue, and sometimes it's nice to see anti-mutant assholes get what's coming to them...

Have you Seen the Yellow Sign?



In far Carcosa, beneath a pallid mask, the truest servant of H****r is... Loki?!? Given the prominent 'bad guys' label on the cover, a slightly more sinister take on their title of 'God of Stories'.
