    Most of these I knew, but there were a few that I didn't

     

     

    Cool video.  Definitely didn't know a few of those.  Didn't care about others (like who the fuck cares about other controllers lol).  But yeah good stuff. :thumbs:

    For anyone who is apparently as dense as I am:

    They brought them back nearly 20 years later in Young Avengers and are Speed and Wiccan. They were presented with different last names but went through a storyline discovering they were brothers and who their parents are. I apparently completely missed that but have read stuff with them after that point and never realized.

    Oh that must be what Children's Crusade is about.  Hah.  I have that book but haven't read it yet.

    Not that this sentiment is exactly the same thing, but I don't get all the people upset about the fan theories that didn't pan out. Personally, I just enjoyed the ride. 

    Oh definitely.  The outrage over that online is why the internet is fucking cancer. :rotfl:   OH GOD MY PERSONAL PET THEORY DID NOT PAN OUT THIS IS TRASH I HATE IT WORSE SHOW EVER CANCELLING D+.  Okay guys.

    I was under the impression that the "friend turned enemy" it refers to is Mordo. Strange has never had any real direct contact with Wanda so it seems unlikely to mean her though she is supposed to be in the movie. Actually a little disappointed that there was no real mention of him outside of Agatha's offhand comment at the end since that much magical energy being thrown around to make the Hex should have drawn his attention.

    I'm going to assume Wanda is in the movie because Strange is going to help her save her kids from hell or some other dimension of some kind.

    So the friend the Skrull woman told Monica about has to be Talos, right?

    I assume by friend she meant Captain Marvel/Nick Fury like Kyle said.  Looks like the setup for Secret Invasion stuff (which I forgot was going to be a TV show) and I'm thinking it's going to be Fury/Talos and the good Skrulls vs a rogue group of Skrulls or something.  Fury definitely has a bunch of the good ones embedded deep.

     

    Definitely enjoyed the series.  Last episode did a great job buttoning things up and all was not just forgiven like it never happened either.  I really enjoyed how the story really gave Wanda a huge bunch of character development that there is just no time to do in an Avengers movie because they're huge events.  These TV shows could really go a long way to really letting us learn more about some of the characters that aren't big enough necessarily for their own movie.

     

    I thought the red herring with Pietro was fine but it seemed kind of mean spirited. :P

     

    I'm also really glad they expanded upon Wanda to have it be legit magic and not just that "miracles" shit from the stone.  Fleshes her character out a lot more and gives her more shit to do.  Retcons like this I am always down for.  It's well done.

    Yeah, I thought Birds of Prey was really fun.  It wasn't like a perfect movie (the other characters might as well have not been there), but damn it...it was fun.  I'd watch that again...the original Suicide Squad movie...I'd rather not have seen. :P

    Yeah I'm in the same place.  I don't like the shooting (it is unsatisfying like most 3rd person/cover shooters) and even the powers are...iffy.  The story actually seems interesting but I'm definitely not feeling this the same way I do for Borderlands or Destiny 2.  Might play through story when it's 20 bucks later.  Don't see myself getting into online but I WILL play with Kyle during the beta (probably). :nod:

    The stand in character threw me off but the rest of it seems relatively solid. Excepting no old school theme. Don't fix what ain't fucking broken. >:| 

     

    Hard maybe.

    Stand in character definitely gives me pause.  There are like 100 MK characters and you couldn't find an existing one to use as your boring everyman character for the movie? :rotfl:

     

    Also...no Johnny Cage??? :sick:

     

    I dunno I feel very much the same.  VERY hard maybe.

    Just finished it the other night.  Man what a rollercoaster. 


     

    Spoiler

     

    I was kinda less hot on this season just because it was all of them split up doing shit that was more dramatic than it was cool sci fi.  That said as we got closer to the end, shit really ratcheted up.

     

    Alex's death sucks and it sucks even more because it was due to the actor apparently being a shit.  It was KIND of cool how they made this happen from something most shows would totally ignore and they heavily foreshadowed it in retrospect when he talked about how they need to do shit and might stroke out from all the juice. :lol:

    She's always been one of my least favorite characters just because she always makes these impulsive decisions that she never seems to learn from

    I definitely feel this sentiment.  She isn't my least favorite character per se but she does dumb shit that annoys me for sure. :rotfl:  I really didn't love how they reduced her to a quivering crying mess several times on her stint on that ship with her kid.  I felt like that whole thing was kind of unsatisfying with her kid just going back to hating her at the end too.  Curious to see if there ends up being more to that.  She definitely didn't learn any lessons though. :lol:
