I'm not into Stephen King's works, but wasn't there a show about all his stuff being in the same New England town or something? I like that as an idea. Not actually tying all of them together 'Glass' style, but just a side setting where that's the case.

Hnh. No movement on mine yet. Have to chalk it up to you being a better shopper than I am.

There were a few hobby groups I was in over on Facebook that recently started using AI engagement boosters. Just random posts like "what was your favorite moment in the Star Trek movies" or something. I dropped out of those groups so quickly.

I was just having this exact same conversation with the missus. I'm dazzled by the things you can do with art and video using AI, but I'm uncomfortable with how they just took artists works without permission to train them to do it.

I know you've made peace with it, but I still wish (and might do it myself) that the engine was at least a darker red, like the tires. That's a pretty big chunk of plastic to be so monochromatic even if it is detailed. Buuut, I'm so chuffed about a classic Ghost Rider coming, that i went back...

It's a self-correcting issue. Let's say they only get 10 pre-orders for Mangog. They actually make 30 of him and secretly sell the other 20 for 5x the price on eBay to people who "missed" the preorder window.

So excited they chose to release Blaze Ghost Rider with a bike. Technically he's outside the specific time slice I'm basing my collection on, but I'm willing to say he's time traveling.

I thought everyone was just rooting for the Dutch team.

I'm not familiar with Mattel's WWE lines to know if I should be excited about kids' versions vs. deluxe versions. But I am encouraged by a list that has 6 out of 8 characters I want. I guess that's an easy bar to meet when you haven't made anybody yet, though. I'm also very 80s in my costume...

Eternals re-vamp I don't have a lot of changes in mind for my version of the Eternals. There's a part of me that doesn't think the movie should've been made at all, though, and I've debated just swapping it out for a new stab at the Inhumans (a secret, super-powered society that I find way...

Report back to me when you're done. Do not fail.

My Secret Wars Iceman just showed up and I'm a little underwhelmed. I guess I never paid attention to how translucent it was going to be. And while I thought I was prepared for just a naked, monochromatic figure, I really wasn't. And the ice blast effects fit weird and I can't figure out how...

I just rewatched Eternals for the first time since seeing it in theaters, and it's actually a little better on a second viewing than I would've thought. The flaws are still flaws, but it does a better job of setting up the midpoint reveal than I remembered. And they did a really good job of...

More like Big Boob Workshop, amIright? But yeah, that JScott guy is a bit of a sourpuss. Like "maybe there will be enough non-awful parts in this wave to make a single decent figure." At least when I say that exact same stuff it's with respect.

That part makes sense. Like Marvel would not want any part of the story getting out, so them not telling Yvette Nicole Brown that the 1970s Army base scene she shot with Chris Evans was from an Avengers movie makes sense. Of course, Robert Downey Jr was in that scene too, so I'm starting to...

It's crazy to me that an actor would film a scene and not know what movie it's for. Nobody wants a call from their Nana asking why they agreed to be in "Up with Hitler!"

I can definitely see it. We've had Surtur destroy a planet, and seen Celestials walking around blasting people, but those were other places. Earth is supposed to be our bastion of recognizability. Something that only deviated from our real world in minor steps like a vibranium meteor striking...

Completely fulfilling. I'm not even bothered that they invented a problem that could only be solved by making a callback to an event they only told us about. That's just "world building." I remember many many years back reading about a Fantastic Four proposal that was more modeled after the...

How so? Too big an idea for a down-to-Earth Earth?

I don't know. There was definitely some magic in seeing characters with their own stories and supporting casts teaming up every few years. While I can't say I want to see a solo USAgent movie, fer instance (and he's my favorite Thunderbolt), having all the characters who would become 'Bolts...

From what I could pick out of the dim rooms and backlighting, it looks like they *exactly* understood the assignment. I'm not the biggest Street Fighter fan, but even I recognized the car smashing bit. Speaking of which, has everybody seen the videos where Pete Holmes is auditing the tournament?

I very disagree. I think the Multiverse era needed to start establishing its own identity early on. I really did enjoy (most of) those transition shows where we have the Phase 1's leading a show that introduces the Phase 4's, but there's real value in hitting that first year with brand new...

My position, though, is that I only get one chance to be surprised by a Baby Yoda and I'd rather it be in the show. Contrast with Giant Man from Civil War being revealed in a Lego set before the movie even comes out.

I really think the value of Kang would've been in the totality of it all. Imagine going into a Kang Dynasty after we've had: He Who Remains and Victor Timely in Loki Immortus in Quantumania (BIG fumble by making that Kang himself) Rama Tut in Fantastic Four (and a reveal that Reed is an...

Just lamenting that I missed the 30% off pre-order in what I thought was an exaggeratedly humorous way.
