No problem.

Really? I just checked and I can see it.

Yep. Oh, I been expecting that, and same for the X-Men which I see no problem with it but I know that's just my opinion.

I'm actually glad about that. Recasting would mean ignoring what happened in real life. Like instead of pretending with a recast, the movie can reflect the reality.

Thanks for the links, dragonfire. And never mind, I can see it now. Interesting design on the 4.

Of course you see no problem with it. You've spent your entire youth being told you shouldn't have a problem with it. But it's still disrespecting the vision of the writer who created the character, not to mention it often defies logic. Remember the last FF reboot? They made Johnny a black character for no good reason, yet his sister Susan was still white. WTF is that about? How does that make sense? I say, just adapt the characters to the screen as they are on the page. It's not necessary to alter all the characters to "represent" because the characters are reflective of the writers. You should respect the writers' vision because the characters belong to them, and altering them for reasons that have nothing to do with storytelling is bad storytelling. If people want diversity they need to write their own stories and create their own characters.

Movies shouldn't reflect reality, they're meant to be an escape from reality. And the actor died, not the character. You can't kill off the character just because the actor dies. There wouldn't be any superheroes left if they did that.

No problem. Good.

Okay. I guess that's just gonna be your answer.

Oh, so Santa Claus is a mutant now?

[dragonfire]

Yep.

It seems Santa as a Mutant is from the 1991 Marvel Holiday Special.

You know it would be ironic if they do what you said about MCU F4, but they don't do the same to MCU X-Men.

Like can you imagine people's reaction if the cast of MCU X-Men isn't like what people are expecting?

Ok, the new Spidey 3 rumor is so hilarious that it's probably true.

Spoiler:

Seems instead of having the other Spider-Men help to clear his name, Peter will have Strange to cast a huge spell to wipe everyone's memories including MJ's, and it'll cause big consequences like seems Mephisto appears, and he's the big bad villain for Strange 2.

Also seems the heart of the movie is Peter and MJ's relationship, and her knowing he's Spider-Man puts her life in danger which I guess helps make him have Strange wipe everyone's memories.

Man, I just can't stop laughing that they could be doing some One More Day/Brand New Day, Superman II stuff in this.

[sum1]

Oh that sounds like crap.

[PhoenixRising]

Oh, that 1991 thing. Thanks for reminding me.


Well, they can't do One More Day unless they have Mary Jane Watson, not "Michelle." Look, dragonfire, if Zendaya's character doesn't exist in the comics, then I don't care about her. She's not there for storytelling purposes, she's there for political correctness crap.

No problem.

Ok.

It's also rumor that

Spoiler:

William Defoe is in talks to return as Norman/Goblin for Spidey 3 and Strange 2.

Hmm if it happens I wonder if Defoe's Norman/Goblin return will be similar to the Emperor's return in The Rise Of Skywalker?

It does Sum but this is the MCU Spidey movies we're talking about here.

For now I expect the MCU F4 will be like the MCU Spidey movies.

Bored to hell of the MCU. How could it be "immersive"?

[dragonfire]

I forgot to mention that it's also rumored that

Spoiler:

Thomas Hayden Church is in talks to return as Sandman for Spidey 3.

[PhoenixRising]

Feige is an idiot. "More immersive?" Try oversaturated. Again, this guy is no storyteller. He's a studio executive who likes to think he's an artist, but he's got no training or experience in writing or directing.

Sounds like a multiverse MCU, dragonfire.

Maybe more like a Spidey verse.

I agree, sum1.

Thanks, dragonfire. I think a Spider-Verse would already complicate the MCU.
