    That was a Dwayne McDuffie brain fart right? I'd have expected something like that from Reginald Hudson.

    Who remembers Black Panther during Secret Invasion and his magical joint strikes or whatever

    That wasn't terrible at all and was written by the excellent Jason Aaron.

    How do joint locks matter to a shapeshifter

    Silver Surfer's not a shapeshifter

    I'm not an expert on the character

    but in his first appearance in Fraction's Defenders, he had turned himself into snowflakes because he wanted to know what it felt like

    Saw Iron Man 3 last night. I enjoyed it, perhaps not as much as I expected or wished to. Maybe I was hyped too much? I'm not sure because it seems like all the things that people say they liked about it, I wasn't as impressed. I dunno, I think I just liked the first two so much that it became difficult for this one to live up to it. Sorry.

    One thing that bugged me that perhaps I can get some clarity on:
    When Stark and the boy are having their scenes, Stark is continuously referred to as a mechanic. Sure he can be a mechanic, but I've always felt he was an engineer first and foremost. Is this just a move toward humility or a misunderstanding of what a mechanic and engineer does?

    Good movie though, definitely worth the price of admission, and I love seeing these things on the big screen.

    McDuffie wrote Panther and Storm in Fantastic Four, and it was the only time that their relationship read like an actual relationship instead of an editorially-mandated team-up event

    the only other comic that ever made their relationship work was the one issue of Priest's Black Panther that guest-starred Storm, though in that case it was more like mutual wistful longing for The One Who Got Away rather than the foundation for a functional long-term relationship

    So did Feige recently tease a Hulk movie

    Because Ruffalo was tweeting about it just six hours ago

    Though he's essentially debunking it, saying he doesn't know anything

    But now I'm wondering what Feige said

    For what it's worth, I doubt we're getting Planet Hulk either. The amount of time the Hulk is in it, on top of all the alien stuff, would make the CGI costs too prohibitive.

    Something that is really kind of bugging me about Iron Man 3.

    Where the Hell was Shield? Tony's house gets demolished, and he's M.I.A. You'd think that would warrant at least a call from Shield to Pepper, or someone.

    And then you'd definitely think they'd get involved when
    a head of state is kidnapped by superpowered weirdos.

    no, I mean I'm down with that sort of thing, it would just be a different feel than what we've gotten before. sorry, I just spit incomplete ideas out in sentence form.

    basically, (avengers spoilers)
    Banner has had his character development. he's in control, he can change at will. All the solo movies so far have had their characters develop out of weakness. I just don't know how they would move forward with a non-bixby hulk without making it have very low stakes for Banner, personality wise. I guess you could have him in danger of losing himself to the Hulk personality by using it too much, but even then it kinda seems trite to do. If they do decide to go just all out Smart Hulk Kicks Ass I'll be damned happy, though.

    I don't think it was editorially mandated though, that felt like Hudlin's baby all the way.

    True, true, the main character isn't CGI.

    But everything else about that movie in terms of set pieces is basically Planet Hulk.

    Well, they could just rewrite movie Planet Hulk to have more Banner involvement than comic Planet Hulk.

    Well, we know SHIELD was pretty fucking terrified of the hulk pre-Avengers, though "blasting him into space" seems like an odd method for them at this stage of the MCU they could definitely want to be rid of him somehow.

    Another key different from the movie versions is that Hulk can talk and has a personality, like in the comics.

    The Avengers are fighting Thanos aboard his starcrusier. Thanos uses the mind gem, or some other piece of tech, to make the Hulk rage out uncontrollably. With no other option, the Avengers lure the Hulk onto an escape pod and jettison it.

    So Robert Redford is hinting that his character
    is a villain

    Which I had honestly kind of guessed, given that someone's gotta be controlling Winter Soldier, and while Zola's gotta be involved, I doubt he's the final boss fight

    Looking at the cast list, there just isn't an obvious main villain in there
