Is that what that was? I didn't get the whole flaming sword thing.

Now both Andy and Lauren are going nuts. Thank goodness Lorna is regaining her senses. And OMG, Reeva is working with that TV guy Ryan?

Mori

Hard to imagine why Reeva and Ryan could possibly be working together. Do they both just want power? Do they want to start a war so they can wipe each other out?

I've read on wikis that in the comics after Andrea died, Andreas had her skin made into leather for his sword so he could keep using their combined powers. Between that and the twincest, Fenris are messed up.

PhoenixRising

Oh, okay. Well then that might be the deal with the sword. But in the comics, the Von Strucker twins weren't mutants, they were genetically engineered by Hydra.

I think Reeva and Ryan are working together for mutual interests, to start a war between humans and mutants.

Mori

That seems to be the case. Can't wait to find out more. I certainly don't think Ryan is secretly a mutant, like some people are theorizing.

I'd like to see more backstory on the von Struckers. Maybe even an appearance from their dad if the merger goes through.

PhoenixRising

Yeah, I don't think that Ryan is a mutant either. I think there's something more sinister going on here with him and Reeva.

Wow, if the merger goes through then I don't even know what's gonna happen with the show. Once they're open to the entire Marvel universe, who knows? And I still say keeping Alex Summers out of Lorna Dane's storyline is a mistake.

They're not going to include any of Fox's stuff in the MCU. There's going to be a total reboot. The only thing that might survive is the Deadpool franchise, but then it probably wouldn't be part of the MCU.

PhoenixRising

Yeah, that's why I'm putting everything on this show into question, sum1. I have no idea what's gonna happen.

sum1

After the rumoured cancellation of X-Force, it's not looking good. I hope we at least get Dark Phoenix.

PhoenixRising

Well that sucks.

sum1

It does. Not entirely surprising though. It fits Disney's pattern. After Disney took over Star Wars they axed the existing Clone Wars show.

It's ironic that Disney was at one point part of my childhood, and now they're doing everything they can do ruin my childhood by desecrating the Star Wars franchise. I hope they don't do the same to Marvel.

sum1

All they care about is money. They're the reason I'm no longer a Star Wars fan.

Mori

So much damage has already been done to beloved franchises these days, but if it sours your love of the originals, that's the real tragedy.

Harry Potter is going through a rough patch very similar to Star Wars. Two of the recent entries, Cursed Child and Crimes of Grindelwald, were fanfiction-y garbage that ignored preexisting canon, and a recent game, Hogwarts Mystery, was entirely built around shamelessly predatory microtransactions. So my feelings toward HP haven't been great lately, but I still have fond memories of the original stories. I'm not going to let them ruin that too, otherwise that's final victory of these greedy corporations.
