Yeah, I noticed it was a little ghostownish around here.

So, I used to post here regularly about 5 years ago. Then, due to the recession and other assorted upheavals, I was unable to continue collecting figures and stuff, and following the news of cool stuff I was no longer able to afford just seemed like twisting a knife. But, I recently got a new job that pays well enough I can begin indulging again. I primarily collected Marvel Legends, MotU Classics, DC Classics, and Lego, but I dabbled in anything else that looked cool like various movie figures and stuff. The problem now is, I've been out of the loop for so long I don't know what I've missed and I could totally use your help in catching up. Anyway, it's good to be back.

Avengers 2 will be "Cap's Kooky Quartet" with Cap, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver!! (I'm kidding). Once Edgar Wright gets off his duff and makes AntMan, I'd like to see Ultron and Vision in the sequel(with Thanos still pulling strings) and then have Thanos as the big bad in A3. Also, as much as I love Cap, IM, Thor, etc and all the storytelling possibilities sequels can afford, I want to see the Marvel U expand. Give us Namor, and Black Panther, and WonderMan, and Captain MarVell. Give us Deathlok! Luke Cage! Iron Fist!

If Fox and Sony were smart, they'd jump on the bandwagon and start working more closely with Marvel/Disney to unify the Marvel Movieverse. Then EVERYBODY makes a buttload more money with each film. Then when they do big crossover films like AvsX they can defray the costs by splitting it between two studios. Sadly, all Studio heads are big idiots with bigger egos and would have all of NOTHING, than 50% of ALL the money, ever.

I love reading nitwits comments on other forums. One guy was saying the purple guy at the end was Kang.

Finally saw it today. I literally-not figuratively, not metaphorically-LITERALLY cried tears of joy at The Avengers. Tears. of. JOY. :-D The reason it was Chitauri and not Skrulls is because Skrulls were part of the FF deal with Fox, so Disney can't use them. Hulk kicking Loki's ass got the biggest laugh. I too didn't hear what Hulk said at the end because everyone was LOLing, but I'm pretty sure he said "Puny God." "He's adopted." got the second biggest laugh. Cap saying "Hulk? Smash." was probably my favorite scene in the film. At no point was I thinking about Superman or any other DC character during the film, and I sincerely doubt the director was either when making it. Why would you crib from inferior material? Concerning certain people's opinions about the film, I remember that they thought Green Lantern was good, and at that point, in my universe, your credibility on what is good and what isn't drops to ZERO. I am super excited for them to expand the Universe with sequels to Thor, Cap, Iron Man, and add stuff like Ant-Man and other heroes into the mix before coming back for a sequel. I would even be happy with Thanos being the behind the scenes villain for a second film before being the big bad in Avengers III.

Ironically, since Schism, Wolverine's new school has been attacked umpteen times and his students have been put in constant danger, whereas Cyclops' Utopia island fortress hasn't been attacked hardly at all.

I might've bought them if they'd thrown in an extra head sculpt for each figure that was less cartoony/anime and more comic accurate.

I'm not on Facebook OR Twitter.

Warren has had the ability to heal people for awhile now. It's his 'second mutation'. Not saying whether it's dumb or not, just saying its not a new concept. The idea had been around for about a decade.

Happy Anniversary, this thread!!

They hold up better as Tim Burton films, than they do as Batman films. Mask of the Phantasm is an awesome film though. You make me want to rewatch it.

I read Hunger Games on Friday afternoon. And saw the movie yesterday. Both were decent. The film was 90% faithful to the book. There were some minor changes, but as far as adaptations go, it was pretty faithful.
