- I am sorry to hear this, regardless of my personal opinion of his career/show, no one should have to deal with that. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 12:13 3
  - I won't go so far as to say I'm gladdened by the news, but won't say I'm sorry to hear it either cause I'm not. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 3, 12:38 1
    - This is where I am. Also, what Twug said below. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 3, 12:44

    - The Canadian Community Service Program -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 11:27 1
      - Bery 4 Dollars -- nm - budice Feb 3, 11:36
So, besides Top Gun and In The Heights, are there any other movies coming out this year I should be irrationally excited about? -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 3, 11:23 7
- Tenet, Mank and Dune are my top three. Ghostbusters, Godzilla vs. Kong and Blonde are a tier below. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 14:35

So what do MCU fans on here think of the Disney + ad showing clips from the new shows here it is if you haven't seen it -- (link) - eag Feb 3, 11:20 [youtube] 31
- Looks fun. That Wandavision looks terrific. -- nm - Remlik Feb 3, 11:34 17
  - Comic people: Does Falcon eventually get enhanced? He must if he's supposed to be the new Cap. - Shaun Feb 3, 11:36 16
    - Batman is just a "peak human". -- nm - TWuG Feb 3, 12:01 7
      - Yeah, more like a "super soldier", just not a "Super Soldier". -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 12:10
      - With money and.fancy toys -- nm - eag Feb 3, 12:07 5
        
        The Falcon has access to Avengers money and tech. So he won't be hurting for backing -- nm - TWuG Feb 3, 12:11 4
        
        That might depend on Tony's will. And he still won;t have a genius making the gizmos. -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 12:19 3
        
        Spidey? Bruce? -- nm - TWuG Feb 3, 12:25 2
        
        Lets not forget Reed -- nm - eag Feb 3, 12:48
        
        It takes a certain kind of genius. Pete has a little of it, but I also think not having powers is a good motivator to come up with the stuff. -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 12:32
    - Nope. Which is why it worked. He is a mutant, but not ability or strength enhanced. -- nm* - Remlik Feb 3, 11:48 5
      - What's his mutation? -- nm - Shaun Feb 3, 12:01 2

        So the Aquaman of the air ? - eag Feb 3, 12:09
      - um ... not MCU, though? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 12:01 1
        
        They can now -- nm - eag Feb 3, 12:04
    - Nope. One of the reasons it never rang true to me. Why not Bucky? -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 11:46 1
      - it did ring true. Bucky was Cap and for a minute it worked. Until it came out he was an assassin -- nm - Remlik Feb 3, 11:49
- Maybe it'll be good, but I have negative interest in WandaVision. -- nm - Shaun Feb 3, 11:27 9
  - I like Vision, and I like the theatre of the absurd and surreal, so I am curious. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 11:28 8
    - There pulling from The Vision which was a 12 part comic book which got rave reviews - eag Feb 3, 11:32 7
      - Well, I think there is a lot more than that. Wanda is *nuts*. - Spawn Feb 3, 11:34 6
        
        Well rumor spoils is - eag Feb 3, 11:37 5

        you're not hearing anything for the movie. There is nothing to hear. No one has confirmed anything -- nm - Remlik Feb 3, 11:51 3
        
        I hear things. - Spawn Feb 3, 11:53 2
        
        wegothiscovered is a b.s. site. stop reading them. -- nm - Remlik Feb 3, 11:53 1
        
        I don't think I have. But twitter, on the other hand. -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 11:55
- I'm excited. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 11:23
- I think I might maybe subscribe to DPlus when they're out. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 11:21
- Everything I had hoped for. - Spawn Feb 3, 11:21
Also, zeitgeist, thanks so much for finding Andy's post. -- nm - loosilu Feb 3, 11:19 2
- *waves hi* -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 3, 13:10

      - spoiler - Spawn Feb 3, 12:14 1
        
        I also thought it might be a Janet Jackson Rythym Nation biopic -- nm - Beaker Feb 3, 12:15
- *NEVER* heard of this movie until now. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 11:29 2
  - I saw the trailer four of five times in front of movies. -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 11:32 1
    - I also saw the trailer on TV or Amazon -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 3, 13:06

  - I still want to see it, maybe this week. The trailers looked very cool, and she is so damn hot -- nm - mud Feb 3, 11:47 1

    - No, that's too h .....{checks his conversion table again} No, you're right -- nm - prayformojo Feb 3, 11:30 2
      - The quick and dirty conversion they teach in school now is 2 1/4 oogies to the million. -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 3, 12:01 1
        
        Sorry that’s too hard. 2 oogies to the million. -- nm - Indiana Feb 3, 12:08
  - I kind of thought it was pretty bad. I thought Blake Lively did as good a job as she could with it, but the plot was and the overall script was just - pmb Feb 3, 11:15 3
    - I agree that she was the strongest thing in the movie. Think I was just glad to see her nail it. Might have helped that I liked the book. -- nm - Spawn Feb 3, 11:18 2
      - I had no idea it was a book. -- nm - pmb Feb 3, 11:18 1
        
        1999 was book one of a series of four (did not know it was a series). -- nm* - Spawn Feb 3, 11:20
