Okay gang, I’m looking for new stuff to read, so if you don’t mind, could you tell me about your favorite book please?

This gif cracks me up.

I was thinking about a marvel and Harry Potter crossover. I mean not exactly but yes. That. Like where the characters are from Marvel but the whole universe is the wizarding world from HP books. I like the thought of that. Idk why?

Marvel Unbound - Series 1 (2021) #1 Ant-Man

[nerdby]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there were bad MCU films prior to Phase 4. If you go into a MCU film expecting every film to be a blockbuster masterpiece cause you haven't been around since 2008 to see the piss warm reception the first and second Thor movies received along with Iron Man 3, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and the first and second Ant-Man movies then welcome to the fandom and get your head out of your ass. Because it is statistically impossible that every Marvel project or CBM in general is going to be AMAZEBALLS.

That's just how real life works. So get with the program, and stop ruining shit for everyone else with your negativity.

It's not the movies or superhero fatigue that's the problem. It's the fandom.

Ms Marvel found out she was 3 months pregnant in issue 197# of the Avengers, cover date July, 1980. It would later be revealed that she had been abducted and raped by Marcus Immortus. ("Prelude of the War-Devil!", The Avengers 197#, Marvel Comics Event)

“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” Spoilers Without Context

In a time where so many writers get Carol wrong, how refreshing it is to go back and see Taskmaster (disguised as Captain America) recognize Carol Danvers for her stealth and espionage abilities.

The Avengers (1998) #26

Another bit from Scott's book that I must point out:

"Not even Doctor Strange can tell me, and believe me, it’s not for my lack of asking. Once the purple dust had settled from the Battle of Earth, I tried bonding with the guy. Let’s just say, he was either unwilling or uninterested in filling me in about any of my 14,000,605 possible pasts."

What exactly does "bonding" mean in this context? I need to know.

And by "I," of course, I mean the tiny AntStrange gremlin in my brain.

((*still crying* Scott, you did so right by her.))

*sincere and soft* It was the absolute least she deserved.

HI AGAIN BABES

I don't remember if your event said I could send more then one but if not then please feel free to ignore this

‘fireplace - send in a cute winter date idea and fandom, and I'll tell you what character would most fit it!!'

For this l'm gonna ask for the prompt to be ice skating on a lake while snow gently falls around you 🥲🥲 maybe marvel for the fandom??

winter wonderland event !!

HELLO!! yeah, sending more than one in is fine!! I just added that to the post after seeing this, sorry for not specifying!! <3

I think ice skating would remind me of Scott. He would be SO fun to skate with?? like he would just make it all very light hearted and it's fun to watch him slip because he does it constantly.

Fleer Ultra Avengers - Series 1 (2022)

#62 Ant-Man

[secondaryartifacts]

Hot take: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania may be the perfect CBM. Near perfection.

You may not agree if you don’t read comic books. This film will be very polarizing. Lots of folks don’t know what to make of it. There are lots of critics who are comparing it to other MCU films as they have recent Thor sequels but they are not paying attention to the right things. Maybe this film is not for them. Or you?

Stan Lee in his With Great Power documentary: “I want to do more. More writing. More movies. More lecturing. More everything. The problem is time. I wish there was more time.” This is the crux of Quantumania.

The dilemma of Scott Lang and Hope. Lost childhood of Cassie. Regret of Janet and Hank. Menace and banality of Kang. One supreme axiom that dogs the little guy, parent, teen, lover, super hero, and super villain alike, on all levels. Time.

Few understand this.

Least of which the critics of the 31st film in the MCU. The start of phase 5 is about time. Inevitability. Futility. Perspective. Cycle of life. Cause and effect. This is not your regular CBM. But it’s exactly like a good comic book story arc in the four color pages by Stan Lee and his peers from the early days of Marvel story telling.

Time is the ultimate currency. If you are Gen X like me, you think a lot about time, right now. The debates of boomers vs millennials and those upstart, digital native Gen Z kids are all around the fringe of a self importance debate. Gen X are the ones in charge of this story because it’s our place at the center and we are reflecting on being stuck in the middle as referees and self made protagonists who were never given recognition for our role in the first place. This is Kevin Feige. This is Scott Lang. This is Hope van Dyne.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is bizarre and strange and weird and alien – because humanity is alien here – and skewed perspective is the main foil in all of the character dev, relationships and the action itself. The commonality at play is empathy or lack thereof. Morals and best intentions vs failures and mistakes. Balanced vs imbalanced against time.

I loved this film and I’m excited for what’s next. Paul Rudd is a national treasure. Jonathan Majors is one of the most interesting actors out there. Make mine Marvel.

Excelsior!!

Did you see the latest Marvel film? What did you think?
