For a brief, wonderful moment, wasn't Wolverine Australian?

Which is where my opinion starts to fall apart. I have loads of respect for Perez both as the un-laziest artist I know of AND as someone who is aware of the issues with cultural stereotyping (his hatred of Vibe is legendary). So when I say ethnic designs like this are lazy and exploitative...

Oh God. Your best man wasn't, like, MCU Iron Man or something, was it?

Okay, Boomer.

I'm actually not bothered by American Eagle's costume, which is a bit of a surprise to me considering how much I didn't like that Scarlet Witch one. Maybe it's the totality of her look. Just all-in in the cultural stereotype while AE is wearing a superhero costume with Native American...

What the actual fuck?!? I LOVE it, a Nutcracker horror theme figure that reimagines the Mouse King as a rat king? I want it so much.

Can't say I care too much for this costume. It felt kind of exploit-y to me both in terms of sexualization as well as leaning way too hard into her Eastern European roots. I don't know, maybe this was much needed Romany representation in comics, but it just felt like stereotyping to me. I...

Better that then a regular priced regular-sized Volcana.

I grew up in suburban Ohio in the 80s and I am distinctly aware of how homophobic we were as teenagers. I hope that's not an indicator of my being a bad person. I think it's fair to allow some understanding for the time they were in. Like, you don't get a pass for owning slaves just because...

Hopefully. Of this wave, I only want that weapons pack, and BBTS shipping is at least half Vala's.

A lot of catching up, so yay for multiquote I disagree, I think the mystery *is* its strong suit, but I don't actually mean that as a compliment. Even before the series started it was the Rashaman element I was most interested in seeing. It's what kept me engaged the most the whole show, but...

How does someone just walk away with Kickstarter money? Isn't the whole system designed as produce or refund? Urmmm... asking for a friend.

He sounds like someone who  wishes he was from Mothman Prophecies.

He kind of made it work in Avengers Forever, but had the benefit of a poncho and deep depression. Clint also had the advantage of, as long as it's not a purple miniskirt, it's awesome. He set his bar pretty low, really.

Awkwardly, the best Giant-Man look was Clint Barton.

AbsoLUTEly not. Jack has a tabard type thing with wide shoulders, but Yellowjacket has big ol' back fins. Back fins that start at the front. If they cheaped out and gave him just some shoulder points, I'd be so mad. This era of Marvel comics was my formative comic-reading years, so I take...

The Black Knight always triumphs!

For no reason, I was expecting them to be expanding out kind of "universes." Like the space lady and aliens seem kind of pulpy sci-fi, but this robot doesn't really fit in to that aesthetic. The price is terrible, but the lack of a promise of a growing lore is strike 2. Nothing gets me...

I don't have 10 that I want, but looking at my wishlist, I can see a few easy pairings: I'd buy a new Whirlwind if he was the shirtless version and came with the era-appropriate Wasp I've been wanting since the start. Now that Phantom Rider has opened the gate, let's keep going on the Rangers...

Not sure how you're going to recreate that 6-minute segment at the end of one episode in Season 1, but you do you, I guess.

I think I'm with Rick on this. The lip needs to be...pointier? It really looks like a Cabbage Patch stitch.

My dying breath will be to argue that the Thing is no taller than a regular person.

I don't care what the official stance is, Mummies and Gargoyles are in the same universe. I'd leap at some NECA Mums.

I guess I'm late to the show. I only want the Mace Windu. "The Senate" would just get chucked in a bin. If I'd felt like spending $60 on a Windu, I mean.

I thought the smart thing here was that I didn't need nostalgia for these specific characters. Draculas and werewolves bring familiarity without the burden of lore. Add in gonzo designs like an invisible man hitman and a Tesla-punk Caligari and I'm immediately hooked. It requires that...
