    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    ... Huh. Well I mean. This is surprising. And kind of... The writing's on the wall here. This site doesn't really need to exist for me anymore. It was a nice hub, but everything's basically gone now. A real shame. Bob WAS the last holdout reason I came here. Guess I'm gone now. Last one...

    Why the Marvel Movies Should Ditch Peter Parker

    Sure are a lot of people that are offended by the idea of a black spider man in here. But of course, us annoying social justice warriors are the overly sensitive ones.

    Spider-Man Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Update

    Oh! Oh! Another good idea: Spider-Woman! The new Gwen Stacy version. Have Peter Parker as the VILLAIN. Not an intentional one. Use the same story of Peter Parker morphing into the Lizard as in the comics and dying tragically. Maybe have him turn into a giant spider beast instead since we just...

    Spider-Man Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Update

    Heh, last I heard Wasp is killed in Ant-Man's story before it actually begins. The girl who becomes Stature is in it though, albeit at the age of like five.

    Spider-Man Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Update

    I always held the assumed to be controversial opinion that the X-men should remain seperate from the rest of the marvel universe in all its forms. The "Powered people as stand ins for marginalized groups" metaphor works better when there aren't a whole ton of other powered people running around...

    Spider-Man Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Update

    Hmmm. On one hand I'm happy, because Spider-Man is great and deserves... Y'now... GOOD movies. On the other hand, I was kiiiind of hoping that Disney's lack of Spider-Man would force them to be a bit creative to find a stand-in. Sort of like how the Inhumans are getting a push because they...

    Spider-Gwen Preview Art Swings Online

    The hood just looks awesome. Hell, the whole costume does. That one pose she's making with the mask off is dumb, but overall her design is good. And yes, we have THREE Spider Ladies running around with their own series now. Spider-Woman, Silk and now Spider-Gwen. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THIS...

    Rosalina Amiibo Will be Exclusive to Target

    Holy flying crud have some Amiibos been hard to get. Little Mac and Diddy Kong sold out INSTANTLY. These exclusives? NOT helping the matter. Doesn't help that I really WANT Rosalina, and Meta Knight... And Shulk and Lucario... I believe Nintendo vastly underestimated how popular some...

    Movie Comic Covers Cast Aquaman in Free Willy, Wonder Woman in 300

    Wonder Woman looks freakin' badass in that pic but "Tonight we dine in Themyscria" is kind of a lame tagline.

    Nostalgic Trading Cards Announce New Star Wars Character Names

    Finn and Rey. Huh. "Kylo"... Doesn't sound particularly intimidating actually. Maybe he is the anti-luke. Even stuck with a backworlds name.

    Benedict Cumberbatch is Officially Marvel's Doctor Strange

    EEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhh. I'm somewhat interested in the Doctor Strange movie, but this isn't selling me on it. I'm sure he'll do a fine job... But the number one selling point on actors in the MCU so far has been ENTHUSIASM. Both on and off the set. Benedict doesn't really feel to me like...

    favorite type of melee weapon?

    Put me down as yet another Halberd man. It's so FREAKIN RARE that you get to play with one in games though, mostly because polearms aren't considered "Heroic" enough. But I squeal like a little boy whenever I get the chance to use one. Champions of the Halberd: Dynasty Warriors and Dark...
