I hope this means they abandoned that awful, terrible, atrocious white Capitano Americana outfit they had for him earlier.
yeah, that'd be nice. it's very comic book accurate... in the comics it looks pretty decent but it looks like trash in real life

Black Widow(s) not having a watered down version of the serum and any Cap replacement being power-less is always going to be questionable.

Even The Boys had to cave in and juice up because there's only so far you can go with normies vs supes no matter the writing. Eventually their heads would get exploded or spines snapped.

in the boys comic they give hughie the serum almost immediately (the rest already have it or dont need it ) but they just have stregnth/toughness enough to brawl with supes and didnt have any other powers

mackie will be marvels batman who will have the right plot armor / gadget / support to get whatever done - not as if they really ever gave a shit about trying to make sense

plus his main opponents are going to be what? standins for trump supporters?
i should say his main opponent will be low quality writing

mackie and stan are a good combo that is wasted on that show

I, for one, cannot wait for Captain America to talk about how oppressed he is and that the America he fights for hates him because he is different. Do you know how I know it will happen? Because writers are fucking awful these days AND Anthony Mackie is a terrible actor.

I will donate $100 to the forum if there is are 0 mentions of him being black in this movie.

I will also donate $100 to the forum if that's the case.

Why did they change the name of this movie? Was "New World Order" too on the nose with current events re: World Economic Forum, so they decided to name it after the Huxley novel where everyone is forced to take a medication or be ostracized from society?

One of the wilder things I've heard about the production of that movie (which also would explain some overlap with the themes of Wandavision and 2 steps forward, 3 steps back with Wanda in it) is that, due to Marvel's iron fist of attempts at plot secrecy, the writers for Wandavision and the writers for MoM were never allowed to talk, and the MoM crew was never allowed to even see or get any hints about what was going to happen in Wandavision.

Don't see how that makes any sense. They had to know about the kids and the book which are the only things that mattered outside of Vision being alive somewhere

Because of the link to Qanon apparently.

Looks like Marvel is going to stop publishing the Punisher. So probably no new appearances in the MCU going forward? No comment from Disney on their future planned show. Media is reporting that it's a casualty of the culture war:

That ZeroHedge article at the end is really good.

Shit like Charlottesville and the Jan 6 fracas are convenient excuses for these woke people to co-opt shit to "fight back", but they don't seem to have anything else to fight back against. That doesn't stop Newsweek up there from going on about "far-right extremism" being behind every rock even though we can't see it.

It's like if the Bush Admin had done the whole "War on Terror" thing with the alerts and everything from 2002-2004 without there being any kind of 9/11 beforehand. Would have been pretty brazen to push this "threat" without any sort of proof of concept.

Newsweek is a gov propaganda rag. It's like reading the Kremlin Times. Every single piece in Newsweek touches on some government talking point or just pushes "exclusives" of propaganda events I.E. Bin Laden. If the Pentagon wants to get something out, it goes to Newsweek.

I liked That the punisher guy decided to stop making money because he wanted to spite right wingers. That didn't work for Pepe and it's not going to work here. People will keep using it as long as they like. Even making their own comics. But now you don't get paid.

When was the last good Punisher story anyway? Are they just cancelling yet another non-profitable character (because of their own ineptitude) and trying to virtue signal while doing so?

He isn't really the Punisher anymore. He has super strength and shit now. Also he looks like this:

Completely change a character to erase and shit on multiple decades of story and fan interest?

Working as intended!

Right so this pisses me off about as much as the retcon that Professor X had enslaved the Danger Room or the Captain America actually was Hydra all along and this is totally the real Steve Rogers for really realz.

i.e. not at all because its just so stupid that my brain struggles to even acknowledge it.

Notice all the tranny terrorists doesn't stop them from pushing all the LGBTQIA crap in their comics.

Its so weird how all the straight white male superhero actors keep avoiding sexual harassment charges.

Must be that white supremacy I hear so much about.
