#she considers keeping the name 'wade' because she likes it and like all wades/wandas she's a lil genderfluid

After seeing this I had a head cannon.

First, there is no way Clint is leaving the store with one box of Natasha's cereal. It would be more like he would leave the store with 8 shopping carts full of all the Avengers different cereal because he's a dad and know that one box of cereal last about 2.5 seconds; Tony gave him, his credit card so it doesn't matter the cost; and there is no way all those personalities will agree on eating the same cereal; and half of the Avengers members consume 2 to 3 times the number of calories the average human does in a day.

So this sparked head cannons on what the different Avengers favorite cereals are:

Bruce: Panda Balls (actual name is Panda Puffs, but we always call them Panda Balls at my house) they're organic, gluten-free, peanut-butter flavored cereal, similar in shape to Kix cereal.

Clint: Cocoa Puffs, and when he's done he puts the milk from the cereal in his coffee.

Steve: Frosted Mini-Wheats any flavor, because he does have a sweet tooth, although if he had to choose he'd pick the blueberry ones, or Grape Nuts. Both of these are more filling than most cereals so it only takes one box to fill him up instead of three boxes like other cereals.

Valkyrie: Shredded Wheat Biscuits. The old school original ones. When she see Steve eating Frosted Mini-Wheats, she asks him why he's eating kids cereal.

Sam: Lucky Charms.

Bucky: Hasn't figured his favorite one out yet, and usually just grabs a bowl of whatever is handy, trying everyone else's favorite to see what he likes. Except for Lucky Charms, which he spends an equal amount of time telling Sam are the most disgusting type of cereal he's ever tasted, and sneaking in to eat all the marshmallows out of before Sam can get to the box of Lucky Charms.

Steve doesn't approve of this, but ends up helping Bucky because those little marshmallows are just so good.

After a few times of this Sam gets wise and won't even eat the cereal if the bags already open. So Bucky enlists Bruce's help to reseal the cereal bag, which he does because all of the Avengers are trolls, even Bruce.

When Pepper finds out what's going on she buys the Lucky Charms marshmallows by the case for Steve and Bucky to just eat, and hopefully leave Sam's cereal alone. But Pepper doesn't give it directly to them she gives it to Darcy to give to them.

Darcy doesn't give them the marshmallows, she doesn't even tell them they exist, she hides the bag, and after Bucky and Steve have eaten all the marshmallows, she sneaks in and replaces them. Bruce reseals the bag for her as well because if Darcy of Natasha ask you to do something you just do it, no questions asked.

Thor and Jane: Pop-Tarts cereal. Both can put away about 4 boxes in one sitting. Everyone is in constant amazement that Jane can keep up with Steve, Bucky, and Thor's appetites, and wonder where she puts it all. Darcy's theory is all the calories Jane burns with the crazy Asgardian sex.

Darcy: S'mores cereal, because it's like campfires and dessert for breakfast every day. She also uses the milk from it for her coffee.

Carol: Trix. Which Steve hates because while he does have a sweet tooth that is too much sugar in the morning, and all those flavors mixed like that you can't tell what is what, it's too much. Carol tells him he just doesn't get it, because Trix are for kids.

Scott: Eats whatever Cassie's current favorite cereal is.

Wade (Deadpool): Only eats breakfast burritos in the morning. He does eat cereal, but only as a snack or for dinner. And then he just grabs whatever is left over from the others boxes.

(Also because my son asked why I included Deadpool when he's not an Avenger, because he's Deadpool and he does what he wants. Including eating breakfast with the Avengers at the Avengers tower, in the alternate timeline where everyone lives happily together and the last couple of movies never happened.)

Strange: Actually doesn't eat cereal, only egg white omelettes or equally healthy options, except on Sunday's, when the Avengers have brunch with a spread of every breakfast item you could possibly want. Then he eats a little of everything.

Pepper: Oatmeal and Fruit, or Yogurt, granola, and Fruit.

Natasha: Gets up super early and makes Blini with fruit and cream sauce. If you're awake she will make you one, but once she's packed it up for the day no one else gets any. Bucky gets them if he's struggling with his nightmares. Steve occasionally grabs a plain one on his way out for his morning run. Tony, Jane, and Darcy have all had one after late night science benders. Parker eats his with Nutella when he stays at the tower. Loki is the only one who consistently eats them with Natasha because they remind him of Frigga's cooking.

Tony: As a result of poor supervision as a child eats a bizarre combination of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cookie Crisp, and the left over fruit from Pepper and Natasha's breakfast, all in a giant bowl mixed together. The only other person who is even willing to try this mixture is Bucky, who surprisingly also thinks it's amazing.

Parker: Oops All Berries! Which Steve and Tony are constantly trying to hide from him, and convince him to eat any one of the more healthier options available to him. Which is a little ironic considering what Tony eats for breakfast.

Vision: Does not eat food.

Wanda: The first couple of years after joining the Avengers she did run the gambit of cereals and other unhealthy super sugarfied breakfast options. But then she started to miss home. Her mother loved to cook and experiment in the kitchen. Now most mornings find her getting up, just as Natasha is putting away her Blini breakfast items, and making super healthy, fancy breakfast options. Which she encourages the whole team to try instead of the the cereal, but most of them turn their nose up at. Except, of course, Steve, Bucky, Thor, and Jane, who of course can all put away a helping of Wanda's healthy breakfast, and then eat their preferred cereals; Loki who again is reminded of Frigga's cooking; and Strange because Wanda's meals might be the only healthy option in the tower.

Which leads to such scenes as this:

Tony walks into the communal kitchen in the tower, seeing Wanda, Strange, Steve, Bucky, Thor, Jane, and Loki, all sitting around the breakfast bar: Oh God! What is that smell, it's disgusting.

Wanda: It's a spinach, Gouda, and egg white quiche.

Tony looks at the plates of the diners at the breakfast bar: It looks like vomit.

Jane: It's delicious.

Thor, slams empty plate onto the ground, which is plastic because they've learned: Another!

Steve: Thor. Buddy, we've talked about this.

[artemisegeria]

Post-Endgame AU. Pure crack. Also kind of meta. Please forgive me. Inspired by this and this. T for language and innuendo.

 “Damn it!” yells Steve, smashing his spoon against his cereal bowl so hard that it cracks and milk flies everywhere.

Sam, Bucky, Tony, Natasha and Thor rush into the kitchen of the new mansion. Bucky, in the middle of putting on his assassin eyeliner, pulls out a small gun. No one knows where it was hidden because he’s wearing only a hastily thrown on bathrobe. And no one will ever ask. “What’s wrong?” Sam pulls himself together first, not as shocked at his friend’s cursing as some of the others.

“I got suspended from fucking Twitter again. Guess I’ll just have to log in to one of my sock puppet accounts.” He starts typing away furiously on his phone, oblivious of the mayhem he has unleashed in the new mansion.

“What did you do now, punk?” Bucky asks, calming down as he realizes Steve is just being himself.

“Nothing I wasn’t justified in doing. I just made a little joke about playing football with some neo-Nazis off of the roof of the mansion.”

Natasha sighs. “Not again, Steve. I keep telling you you can’t make these threats without following through on them.”

“I wasn’t really going to hurt them, unless they do something really awful.”

“They’re Nazis, Cap. Of course, they’ll do something awful.” Tony goes to put on the coffee. He can already tell it’s going to be a long day.

Heedless of the commotion in the kitchen, Wanda and Vision roll in on their heelies. Wanda is wearing a long shirt that falls to her knees, but it is Vision who arrests everyone’s attention. Thor even pauses in middle of biting into a Pop-tart™. Vision is in a bright pink crop top with a silver sparkly message on the front that proclaims, “Real Men Get Pegged.”

Before anyone can ask the numerous questions that are floating around their heads, a man in a tight red and black body suit with two swords strapped to his back crashes into the kitchen. The Avengers’s mouths, minus Wanda and Vision, all fall open when they notice that he is wearing an identical copy of Vision’s shirt over his suit and heelies on his feet. “Damn right, they do!”

“Who are you?” Tony demands.

“Name’s Wade Wilson. Maybe in a few years I’ll be one of you.” He then pauses and looks outward before he goes on monologuing. “Nah, Disney will never let my R-rated sensibilities invade their cash cow beyond a couple-second cameo. Is Wolverine around anywhere? Oh, wait they haven’t gotten around to making those yet. Nevermind.” Wade does a loop de loop around the kitchen walls and ceiling, blowing a kiss at Vision and Wanda before leaving the frame.

Steve finally looks up from his Twitter trolling. Natasha turned to the two latecomers. “That guy sounded really familiar. I feel like I know him from somewhere…” Natasha thinks for a moment before returning to her interrogation. “Anyway, he seemed to know you. What’s up?”

Vision begins, “Well, it is a bit complicated to explain, and you all may want to sit down. Mr. Wilson is a fictional character. As are all of us. Most of us have no idea, but Wanda and I realized something was odd when we started acting differently for no reason at all or making completely irrational decisions in a way that would most certainly cause unnecessary problems. With my advanced synthetic brain and Wanda’s access to the nexus of all realities, we were able to discover the truth. We met Mr. Wilson when we were exploring various realities.”

“Wait, how many realities are there?”

Wanda replies, “Infinite. Some are considered truer than others. That’s called canon. This particular one is fanfiction. It’s often looked down on, but so many times fanfiction is better than canon. All the scenarios are real and they’re all valid. They just bring out different aspects of the material. They are an outflowing of so many fans’ love and passion, and that is not to be mocked.”

“Uh, Wanda? You okay?” Sam asked. Wanda was growing redder, and her voice was building in volume as she prepared a true rant.

Vision wrapped an arm around her comfortingly. Wanda calmed down almost instantly, nuzzling his shoulder. “All is well. The author of this piece just could not resist putting a defense of fanfiction in Wanda’s mouth. Since the author has all the power in this universe, Wanda started getting very excited about the topic. Feel better now?”

“Yes, much.”

“Good.” They started to gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes. They only broke out of their trance when a number of throats cleared around them.

Bucky looked on thoughtfully. “So this author really ships Wanda and Vision, I guess.”

“Absolutely,” Vision replies. “And the author is even going to post this on the internet. Though their reasoning for doing so is unclear. So everybody wave at whoever may be reading this.” Everyone faced the front of the room, waving and smiling. They figured they might as well make the best of the situation.

[veliseraptor]

it’s time for our good friend the 150 words meme! namely: send me a number for one of the excerpts below, and I will write 150 words in that fic. 

you don’t actually get anything out of it immediately except me usually making a fair amount of progress on a number of different projects, but that’s something? (I’ve legit finished chapters because of this meme, so there’s that.)

thirteen options this time! aaaand go.

1. It had occurred to Loki, lying on the couch with his eyes closed, despair a crushing weight on his lungs, that he could have done it himself. But there would have been no guarantee of success. They would try to stop him, and the moment he fell unconscious any spell he cast would break.

Or perhaps he was just a coward.

Hydra had taken everything from him, now. His life, his death, his body, and now his mind. The depths of the fractures just now coming clear. The extent of the destruction. (Steve Rogers’ Halfway House for Notorious Supervillains)

2. “My name is Wanda,” she said. “Wanda Maximoff.”

“I gathered,” Loki said evenly. She frowned at him, almost relieved by the faint irritation. It was something to focus on other than her grief. All of this was something to focus on.

“You don’t need to be rude.”

“I don’t need to be anything,” Loki said. “I’m dead.” (Dead Superheroes Walking)

3. Loki’s jaw worked. “I will be rid of you,” he said. “And all your hateful lies.”

“Not lies,” it said. “Never lies. I would never lie to you, Loki.” This time he was certain of it: a smile, and it looked entirely wrong on the shadow’s not-a-face. “I don’t need to. You think I am trying to wound? I am the only one in your life who will be honest with you.” (Mirror, Mirror)

4. Consciousness was slipping. Exhaustion, blood loss, magic backlash, cold...he was dying by inches, and bringing Yfandes down with him. They’d somehow escaped a quick end only to die in the snow.

He was starting to feel warm again. Deep down, he knew that was a bad thing. But it was still a relief.

Yfandes struggled forward. She didn’t speak again. (no more halos on evergreens)

5. Taking a deep breath, thinking dreamily of a hot bath, jets on that would pound some of the knots out of his shoulders, Loki let himself into his room.

His knives were in his hands before he thought of summoning them, and he threw one at the occupant of his bed, who reached up lazily and caught it, then smirked. His own face regarded him, eyebrows raised as he sat up.

“Hey, now,” said a familiar voice out of his duplicate’s mouth. “Is that any way to treat yourself?” (Double Vision)

6. She was hot and shivery at the same time, thoroughly undone, and when Valkyrie finally let up and raised her head, wiping her mouth off with the back of her hand, Loki didn’t think she was ever going to move again.

“Ha,” she said. “You should see the look on your face.”

Loki covered her eyes with one hand, opened her mouth to try to reply, and gave up when the words wouldn’t come. She heard Valkyrie laugh again, though it didn’t sound like she was mocking, exactly. (bad decisions)

7. “What, then, are we to keep wandering until we happen upon some secret grotto?” I could not quite keep the sharpness from my voice, and regretted it a moment after. It was not, after all, Mildmay’s fault that we were here.

“Got any better ideas,” Mildmay said after a beat. I said nothing, and he tightened his grip on the mule’s rein and continued leading us forward. I bowed my head, wishing I had a heavier coat. Wishing I was under a roof, in a warm bed.

Wishing, very briefly, that I was back in the Mirador, in my comfortable quarters.

As well wish to go to the moon. You’re never going back there. (the last glimpse of winter)

8. The next day, Gideon wasn’t dead yet. Neither was Mildmay. Neither was I.

That didn’t mean anything. I’d managed to delay things before, one day, or two. Never longer. Though one day of inaction had done me better than my other choices recently; it seemed as good an argument as any to indulge in another. (In Another End, In Another Life)

9. “All right, Mr. ‘I-Don’t-Get-Sick,” Steve said, trying to keep his voice teasing and not betray too much of his own worry. “Let’s get you into a bed.”

“I’ll make some soup,” Wanda said. “And bring it by later.”

“Stop fretting, witchling,” Loki said, lifting his head and trying to push himself upright. Steve didn’t let him go far. “You worry too much.”

“I wouldn’t have to if my friends didn’t do things worth worrying over,” Wanda shot back. To Steve, she said, “I am bringing soup.”

“Thank you, Wanda,” Steve said, calling up a smile that he hoped looked reassuring. He turned toward Loki and shifted him around to support him against his side. “Soup would be great.” (Tremors)

10. Bucky was giving him a little bit of the hairy eyeball. “Hey,” he said. “You okay?”

“Yeah,” Steve said. He climbed out of his bedroll and started packing up. “Yeah, I’m fine. Just...weird dreams.”

“Me too,” Bucky said. “I dreamed my scrawny best friend turned into a real he-man overnight. Oh wait.” He grinned, and ducked out before Steve could find something to throw at him. When he was gone, though, the disquiet came back, the sense of something very slightly off. Like he’d forgotten something he was supposed to remember. (the wreck of our hearts)

11. Hela’s new little brother, at least at the moment, was less a threat than an irritant. Small and weak and noisy, mostly she noticed him at meals taken with the family when he began wailing for some obscure reason or another, waving his fists and screaming at the top of his lungs. And yet her father adored him.

The warm glow in his face when he held Thor in his arms was foreign to Hela, and she stared at it with narrowed eyes, wondering almost if there was some enchantment being worked on him - by Frigga, perhaps, to bind her husband more tightly to her and her offspring.

If such it was, she could find no trace of it. No, it simply seemed that the All-Father, who had waded through blood knee-deep on the field of Nithafjoll, had gone soft. (swords into plowshares)

12. Rogers huffed in evident frustration. “Nothing about this feels right. You know that that’s - addictive, too, right?”

“Well, yes,” Loki said, before Valkyrie could answer. “But gradual weaning from this is much less likely to kill me. Also you actually have it on hand, which is really more relevant. All things considered, the other thing wouldn’t actually be that important-”

“Okay,” Valkyrie said. “And that’s enough. Loki. Shut your mouth and take a nap.”

“You can’t tell me what to do,” Loki said. His head lolled to the side and he found himself looking at Rogers. “Neither can you,” he informed him. “Thor could. But he’s not here.”

“Is he okay?” Rogers asked, sounding downright concerned. No, that wasn’t right. Loki must be mishearing it. Hallucinating, possibly. He didn’t know why he would be hallucinating Rogers, of all people, but the world was just full of surprises. (the first steps stumbling forward)

13. Loki had started out his time on Sakaar with a number of rules. He was down to two: don’t think about anything that came before this and be ready for everything. He was managing the first fairly well, barring a few carefully chosen anecdotes he managed to spin into entertaining stories. The second…

It turned out that for all his adventures Loki had still had a somewhat limited understanding of the word everything. (Anticipation)

Previous Part

Series Masterlist 

He stood at the door with a dumbfounded look on his face. He didn’t speak for what felt like forever. Just standing there staring at you. He was probably trying to figure out if you were really there or of he was just dreaming. You where the last person he expected to see when he heard a knock at his door .

You stood there staring at him he jandt really changed much over the years. He still wore flannel like he lived a double life of a lumberjack. The only noticeable thing was he was buff more buff than before and the stubble the lined its way across his jaw. You said his name again.

“Dean” you said simply. It seemed to knock him out of his trance that he seemed to be in. You shifted on your heels waiting for him to speak .

“Y/N…” he said your name with such wonder. He probably was trying to figure out why you were here at his front door. After everything that happened during freshman year he never thought he would see you again. He never thought you want to see him again.

Dean had did a lot of soul searching after he got out of the hospital. He saw a therapist regularly and became devoted to his mental health and getting better. He never considered reaching out to you. He figured he had done enough damage. But here you were at his front door. He always wonder what he would say to you if he ever saw you again. Of course he thought about apologizing to you a million times. But he didn’t know what he would say after that.

He noticed he hadn’t spoken one word yet. He moved over to the side and let you into his home. You didn’t know what would happen from there.

Bucky’s POV

She hadn’t stopped by or talked to me since she moved her stuff back to the compound. I honestly feel like crap but I need her here. I want her here. I know it’s not right for me to depend in her so much. But… but she’s my everything what would I do without her. I don’t even try to entertain the thought.

The common room someone had to know something hopefully I can find someone with answer in there. Wilson was bound to know something but then i heard a low muffled voice almost like they didn’t want anyone to hear their conversation. Wilson.. One of Y/N clients what was he doing here. I heard him utter your name. And I only saw red after that. He already seems like he couldn’t take a hint and continued to flirt with you even when I was around.

“What the hell are you doing here asking about Y/N?” he growled out. Bucky was already feeling insecure because you left without a word. But you managed to tell Wanda and even Sam you were going.

“Calm down Barnes, Wade is here because we know each other. Hhes not the person you want to egg on.” Sam’s voice was hard and stern. But Bucky didn’t back down. He opened his stance and stared Wade down. Not believing a word Sam had just spoken. Wade scoffed and headed towards the elevator. Bucky charged after him.

“What was the scoff about Wilson?” he spat at him.

Wade kept walking towards the elevator muttering under his breath. It was too quiet for anyone to catch. But his words would gut Bucky if he had heard them. Bucky charged towards Wade fully intending to figure out what he had been muttering only seconds ago. Sam chimed in and try to calmly talk Bucky down about what he was about to do. Sam had known Wade for years everyone assumed they had meant at the V.A, but that was not the origin of their friendship.

Wade had stopped walking. Bucky charged on and reachged for his shoulder. Fully intending on yanking Wade back and welding down on him. But his hand never meant his shoulder. Instead Bucky found himself with the air knocked out of him on the floor. A shadow loomed over him and grabbed him by his shirt collar.Not able to recover from a hit like that Bucky was forced to be at Wade’s mercy,

“So you want to know what i said?” Wade hissed loudly his voice alone made Bucky uncomfortable.

“You want to know what I said huh?’ the tension in the room could be cut with a knife.

“You want to know why i’m asking about Y/N I see well listen then!” his voice was filled with so much rage it could have shook the compound. Sam looked at Wade like he was pleading with him not to speak. But Wade was past the point of no return.

“After Y/N moved out the compound to get away from you. She contacted an old college does the name Davina ring a bell to you.” Wade all but spat out.

Bucky remembered you talking about Davina. Her job was similar to yours but she worked ait another department at sheild. She worked with highly distressed soldiers. Well that was the nice way to put it she worked with highly trained soldiers the previous assassins of shield before they first fell and showed they were actually HYDRA. Wade was an ex assassin with a forced mutant gene he was still trying to work through.

It finally clicked with Bucky that Wade was from Task Force-2. A group of assassins who were injected with different serums that would make them indestructible. They couldn’t die, they didn’t age. They were basically immortal. Davina was Bucky version of you. Assigned to a group of distress people to help them.

Bucky didn’t speak still trying to process everything he had just realized.

“Davina asked me to watch out for Y/N. after she left this compound she stayed with Davina she was a mess falling apart because of you.” Wade didn’t yell he let the anger laced in his voice speak for him.

“She left her place a mess. Because of my past Davina asked me to keep an eye on her. Make sure she was eating, leaving the apartment, interacting with others. Not shutting down solely because of you and your pure stupidity and selfishness. So I did as she asked. I watched out for her since you couldn’t. When I noticed she wasn’t in her office and wasn’t running her sessions I called Sam and came by to make sure she was okay.” The room was silent after the secret Wade just reveled. Wade released Buckys collar and got in the elevator. Sam telling him he would call him after she had a chance to calm down.

Sam walked over to Bucky and stood waiting for him to snap out of his trance.

Bucky’s voice was hoarse barely audible. “ Sam.. what have I.. what have I done.” his voice began to crack his emotions taking over him from top to bottom. But he knew he couldn’t break he had to find you and make things right… Even if the ment letting you go.

“She went to see Dean. She’s broken Bucky and she trying to fix this on her own. But it’s not her burden to carry on her own.” Sam gave Bucky a sheet of paper with an address on it.

“That’s where she is what you do with this is up to you. I hope you make things right even if that means sacrificing yourself.” Sam walked out the room and left Bucky alone with his thoughts hoping he would make the right decision by you.

Alright tell me what ya thought my dude HERE

The History of Author & Deadpool

Hia Awesome Adventurers! So now that Deadpool is back to his schemes in my WoW novels, I decided to post some of our old confrontations in one of my old...disgraceful Marvel Fanfics. Where the Avengers adopted a turtle called Bromine and Iron Man’s and Black Widow’s (not romantically involved) adopted daughter, Catwoman, goes off with Deadpool and Quicksilver into space. Needless to say, the best thing from this novel were the Author’s Notes. Please enjoy the weirdness.

[furederiko]

Sheeesh!!! It's happening again. All these huge news came out just a day after I posted the last Random-News-Digest. I could've included them in that post instead!!! Personal ranting aside, let's get right through the news then... PS: Yeah, this one arrives a little early than usual, because I have to go off the grid for a while. At least until I return from embarking another exploration to the far off galaxy this week... ;D

Disney Live Action

Guy Ritchie is doing the live action adaptation for "Aladdin"? I'm sure you've already heard about that. The movie is going to be an action musical with Middle Eastern leads who have natural talents in singing and dancing? You've heard this before early last month? Well, it's a first for me, but of course... hell yes! That's GREAT news. But did you know which actor Ritchie is currently approaching to play the magical Genie? The answer is... much to everyone's surprise: Will Smith!

Okay, this casting? I'm not too sure about. The last time we had an African-American as a geenie was Shaquille O'Neal in "Kazaam", and that was... uhm, how do I put it? ODD? Not saying I don't like the idea, or that Smith's a bad actor, nor that I'm being racist or anything. I guess I just can't see the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" in this role. And if we're indeed going about race, why couldn't we get another Middle Eastern actor, or at least an Indian for the job? Someone who's more 'racially appropriate'. Of course Smith's appeal is understandable. He's an actual singer so he'll nail the musical part nicely, a natural Oscar-darling for dramatic moments, and has comedic chops that might rival the late Robin Williams. Even if I feel Williams is pretty much irreplacable in this role.

The problem with Smith however, is that he has turned down Tim Burton's "Dumbo" before. That was due to scheduling issue with "Bad Boys 3". That Michael Bay movie had just lost its director, thus putting it on an uncertain delay, yet Smith hasn't walked back to "Dumbo". Thus suggesting that he's probably just not 'keen on' the project. If that's any indication, could we even expect Smith to take a higher coveted role like the Genie instead? Many seems to doubt it. Beside, the current situation is, he's just in "early talks" for this role, and we know that in Hollywood, that means 'nothing is yet set in stone'. Or legal papers, if you prefer to be more modernly accurate. LOL.

If I have a voice in this movie's production, I say just let Genie become a fully CG character. You know, like those household members in "Beauty and the Beast"? Thus they can get practically anyone who's NOT Will Smith to voice the role. Someone who has strong comedic timing, and is equally masterful at singing. Hmmm... why am I suddenly reminded of Seth McFarlane? Perhaps, because he was a standout in Illumination's "Sing!" last year? He can even be a prolific Broadway actor. What about Jamie Fox, Hugh Jackman, Nathan Lane, or... LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA? I think those names are much better choices than Smith. Here's a completely random suggestion though: Timothy Omundson, or Ben Presley from "Galavant"!!! They live in UK, have worked with Alan Menken before, for a Disney's ABC series, and CAN totally sing. Anyway, we can expect confirmation to this pretty soon, because apparently the casting call explicitly stated that: "Rehearsals begin April 2017. Shooting July 2017-January 2018 in the UK.". And April is about to end pretty soon! LOL.

DC Films

Here's a quick one from Warner Bros and DC! Because as we all should understand by now, they won't ever let Marvel take the whole week of spotlight onto themselves, right? They just need to sneak a completely random news of development here and there. This time, it's from Joss Whedon, whose name has been kindly talked about recently thanks to Kevin Feige kindly mentioning him during Marvel Studios' open house. And this news came from a very ironic place too: The red carpet premiere of the new Guardians movie! LOL to that.

The news was, well, Whedon is NOT looking for a big name to fill in her lead actress for "Batgirl". He said clearly, "I don’t have my eye on anyone. I’m creating this character, I’m in a dialogue with her, and then we’ll see who joins that later on. I doubt it’ll be a name.", which means she can be anyone. Whedon had a soft spot for Oscar-nominee Saoirse Ronan before ended up going with Elizabeth Olsen for Wanda Maximoff in "Avengers: Age of Ultron". And his TV works have always involved a strong female lead, like Sarah Michelle-Gellar in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". So he can practically choose any actress for the character, including a relatively unknown. The big question though, how does WB feel about this? And considering the studio's really BAD habbit of pointlessly putting reference, will this actress debuted in "The Batman" before her solo movie? Which means she needs to be cast right away. We'll have to wait and see how this develops.

Wait a sec... turns out this news didn't really come from WB after all. But due to Variety asking Whedon about the project, when they bumped into him at the premiere. So not WB's intentional spotlight-hogging trick this time around. LOL. Sorry WB, my bad. This is why you shouldn't do that to other studios, as people would easily assume you're doing it again and again eventhough you're guilty of charge. Ahahahaha... *sigh*.

Fast and Furious

"The Fate of the Furious", which is a dumb title albeit a nice little twist on 'F8', raced through the box office and conquered the winning lane ever since it debuted. It has even amassed a record breaking global opening of all time, beating 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens"! But with the franchise started getting a little... tiring, the question is, for how much longer it has the engine to keep on running? If the latest statement by producer Neal Moritz is to be believed, we're going to see this drug race-inspired movie - at least - up to "Fast and Furious 10". Which might be dumbly named "Fasten Your Seatbelt". Get it? LOL. That's already one more than the previously reported "Fast and Furious 9" by the way. Remember when Lucas Black was approached to do it until 9, but ended up a no-show in 8?

It certainly ain't stopping anytime soon though. Why? Because already, a plan is in motion for a... spinoff. Yikes! Yes, because apparently, due to the much publicized rift (is it real or fake? That has been settled though, I think... *sigh*) between lead actor Vin Diesel, and new regular Dwayne Johnson, it seems fans are now shipping Johnson's Luke Hobbs with Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw. Yep, the bad guy who killed Sung Kang's Han Seoul-Oh. Seriously, will Han's death ever be avenged? I haven't seen the eighth movie yet, but it sounded like Hobbs and big bro Shaw (while lil bro Shaw was singing his way in "Beauty and the Beast") actually had... great chemistry together?

It's currently 'in talks' stage for now, but I can already see it happening. Particularly considering The Rock would do any film, while Statham is in need of another franchise after his participation in "The Expendables 4" is put into question. Chris Morgan is expected to write, and the timeline would put it between the 8th and 9th movie. I'm not too sure about this idea, but perhaps, somewhere along the line we might be seeing a Han and Gal Gadot's Giselle "Mr & Mrs Smith"-esque movie along the way? Especially after Gadot's profile will get another significant boost following this year's "Wonder Woman". I'd certainly would watch that.

X-Men Universe

Now here's what I consider a rather 'dumb' report serving the headlines for "Deadpool 2". Actress Leslie Uggams is set to reprise her role as Blind Al in the sequel. Why is that dumb? Duh... because she's an important element of the first movie, stealing scene every single time she showed up. It would be a crime to not have her back! Not to mention, he's Wade's roommate. What I'm curious to know however, is whether Morena Baccarin will indeed reprise her role as Vanessa as well. I sure hope she will, otherwise it would mess up continuity... not that FOX have actually cared about it. Then again, Deadpool could've gotten away with it by turning it as a mockery excuse towards FOX. While at the same time, punching jabs towards Marvel Studios' case of Pepper Potts and Jane Foster. Ain't that a good idea, right?

Oh yeah, by the way, FOX has announced the official release date for the movie! Eventhough the first movie opened in February, its success has apparently warranted this sequel to change gears into a Summer movie. Yes, it will now open in June 1st, 2018. Which is a rather crowded spot, since Disney has "Han Solo: A Star Wars Movie" to open in the previous week, and the following week has WB's all-female "Ocean's 8" and Paramount's "Bumblebee" movie. Is this a wise move, then? I doubt. That's the way it is with FOX though, they don't give a damn about things like this. They've also set up Josh Boone's "New Mutants" to arrive on April 13th, 2018. Which is, a few months... AHEAD. Huh?

And a little movie called "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" that will arrive in November 2nd, 2018. Squaring off directly against Disney's "Mulan" live action revisit, this news just came in several hours ago (thank Jesus I can add it before this post goes up *sigh*)! Nope, don't be mistaken, it's not "X-Men: The Last Stand" that practically ruined the franchise the first time. It's a... reboot of said movie? Meaning it has the ultimate potential (same story, same WRITER) to do the same? LOL. Need I remind you, these are 3 different movies, set in an entirely 3 different timeline/universe, right? Once again, LOL to that.

Aaaaanyway. With the uncertainty of WB to produce any DC Films earlier than December's "Aquaman", looks like FOX is snatching all the empty superhero slots, eh? The only empty space is in January, March, and August to October, with SONY's "Venom" already dated in the last one. So NICE move to FOX....!!! I guess? *sigh*

Avatar

This is a direct follow up to the above paragraph. Remember the James Cameron's sequel that was supposed to open on December 2018, but got delayed and thus became occupied by "Aquaman"? Yep, I know what you're thinking. This whole release date business already sounds like a confusing game of chess! Well, brace yourself, because "Avatar 2", the sequel we never even asked, will now open on December 18th, 2020. Eeeeh? Not kidding. But what took Cameron so long to get one done? The answer is, because he's doing all FOUR sequels altogether. Yes, "Avatar 3" has been scheduled to open on December 17th, 2021, while "Avatar 4" and "Avatar 5" are coming in December 20th, 2024 and December 19th, 2025 respectively. Ain't that a mouthful to write! Those, if there's any among you, who are waiting for these... sequels, should be really happy to hear this news. You have 5 years of Avatar-time! You've got to hand it to Cameron though. This here is risky business. VERY risky. I can't even imagine what would happen if the 2nd movie is a bomb.

Marvel Studios

Let's start with the juiciest part! Just last week, I speculated that Marvel Studios will announce the female director for "Captain Marvel" when they return to Hall H of this year's San Diego Comic Con. Well, this is Marvel Studios, a studio known for catching people off guard, and they've done it again. Not just for one, but a double surprise at the same time.

Yes, the director for their first female-led female-centric movie has indeed been selected. And it's not one, but TWO of them! Marvel Studios officially announced (first reported by Variety) that Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have been assigned to helm the project. So to you who wanted a female director, you get one. And those who prefer a male director, also get one. Fair and square!!! Intriguingly, their names weren't even part of the frontrunners list, so it certainly caught almost everyone by surprise. According to The Hollywood Reporter, apparently Marvel Studios met with several female directors since last summer; from Niki Caro (who has been hired to do "Mulan" instead), Lesli Linka Glatter, Lorene Scafaria, to Lucia Aniello, and Quicksilver's real life wife Sam Taylor-Johnson, with Jennifer Kent and Jennifer Yuh also in the early mix; before ultimately settling in on this "Mississippi Grind" duo. Turns out, they've managed to impress the studio with their vision for the movie, which put focus on elevating character's journey beneath all the spectacle. Sounds like something right up on Marvel Studios' alley, huh?

Just like the Russo Brothers, Boden and Fleck have done more TV based project, instead of big features. Does the similarity to Anthony and Joe feels more than mere coincidence? Clearly Marvel is taking their first female-led superhero VERY seriously. I wouldn't be surprised if Carol Danvers will be taking Steve Rogers' important role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward. To be honest, I'm not at all familiar with the duo's work, not on movies ("It's Kind of a Funny Story", "Sugar", "Half Nelson"), nor TV ("The Affair", "Billions"). But I'm hearing good things about them, and considering Marvel Studios has a powerful knack in choosing who they partnered with (particularly ever since they no longer serve under Ike Perlmutter), I've completely put my trust in their decision. Lest we forget, people doubted that Joss Whedon, James Gunn, and also the Russos would deliver before. And now their movies are considered among MCU's best. With the smart and loveable Oscar-winner Brie Larson more than excited to front, a script currently in progress by Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve, and an official production targetting a February 2018 start, "Captain Marvel" will arrive on March 8th, 2019.

After debuting their first worldwide tour in Tokyo, Japan, the Los Angeles Red Carpet Premiere for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" has been held on Friday. As always, the glamorous event took place at the El Capitan Theatre. Unlike previous movies, I couldn't catch the live stream of this premiere, because I'm running out of data charge on my internet! After all, when you're saving up money to watch the movie (tickets' pre-ordered by the way, yaaaay! XD), you have no choice but to wait until early next month to get it reinvigorated. Whoops, let's get back on track. Most of the cast attended the celebration. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, co-president Louis D'Esposito, VFX producer Victoria Alonso, and director James Gunn were obviously leading the pack. They were joined by returning actors Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, and Sean Gunn, as well as new cast members Pom Klementieff, Chris Sullivan, Elizabeth Debicki, and Tommy Flanagan. Veteran actors Kurt Russel and Sylvester Stallone were also in attendance, with a surprise appearance of one David Hasselfhoff! Okay, I didn't even know he has a part in this movie. I thought his name in the recently released Original Soundtrack was just pure coincidence. By the way, said album's tracklist could potentially be considered spoilerish, so you might want to avoid it the way I do.

Another press junket was held following the premiere, and the folks behind this movie has been spilling additional details here and there. The kind of information that you would want to steer away and avoid, if like me, you don't want to be spoiled ahead of the game. This could range from the simplest bit like: - Various critics' reviews as well as the first accumulated RottenTomatoes score can be expected to arrive very soon. So check your favorite entertainment sites in the next 24 hours or more, to see what their journalists have to say about this movie. I'm personally avoiding the internet after this to avoid spoilers, and will get back once I've seen the movie. 3 days from now! YAAASSS!!! \(^o^)/ - The fact that the movie's core theme is about family. Sean Gerber of Modern Myth Media, even said that the movie was "pure love", and something that should be watched together with their family. Gunn even dedicated this movie to his parents during the LA premiere. - That baby Groot is the star of the movie! Even fellow Marvel Studios director Peyton Reed thought he could win an Oscar! - New official images released on Entertainment Weekly that hinted towards various plot points. - A supposed Nathan Fillion's cameo that got edited out. Complete with proof by the actor himself, that turned out to nothing but a... prank? LOL. Though it's possible he's indeed the actor that Gunn openly admitted had to cut during post production. - About "the collector’s museum"-level Easter-Eggs-filled scene that went out in the cutting room... and might not be available as the Deleted Scenes. - About a surprise pop star cameo. - To the more complex one, like the removal of one character by the name of... *drumrolls* Adam Warlock!

Yes, turns out the Warlock was originally a major part of "Vol. 2"! Confirming that it was indeed his cocoon we saw in the first movie, but was decided to be saved for later movies. Once again, Gunn has been pretty open about this before, as he said that the script originally had 'one other' member of the team that he unfortunately had to let go. Yes, he WAS talking about Warlock, as the decision to omit him was because "it was one character too many and I didn’t want to lose Mantis and Mantis was more organically part of the movie anyway. So I decided to save him for later.". Gunn expressed his love for him though, eventhough we also shouldn't expect to see Warlock in "Avengers: Infinity War" as well, much to fans dismay. Nevertheless, Feige gave assurance that we will definitely see this important cosmic being in future movies.

By future, I believe we can expect this important character to show up later in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3", or even earlier in the UNTITLED 2019's Avengers movie. As I've always said, Adam Warlock is an amazing character because he's basically serving as both protagonist and antagonist due to his alter-ego Magus. And the prospect of having him playing a crucial role in future Marvel cosmic universe is enough as an excuse for me. Gunn stated to EW, that the "the three movies work together as a whole, they’re going to tell one story,". Which is exactly the reason why he agreed and excited to continue with "Vol. 3". Don't forget, we're getting Warlock's comic-book's 'sister' Ayesha and her golden-skinned race in this second movie. It would be very obvious, if Warlock will indeed take the follow up spotlight on "Vol. 3". One more thing, Gunn's collaboration with Marvel Studios won't be stopping after "Vol. 3". Birth.Movies.Death speculated, that Gunn is basically the architect of Marvel Studios' future cosmic universe, and I'm inclined to agree on that. Which his role important going forward. After all, Feige himself stated that Gunn "could easily oversee additional stories beyond Vol. 3.". I honestly can't wait to see what we can expect next in the massive galactic side of MCU, considering some of its more popular properties like Galactus, or Silver Surfer, are owned by FOX.

With one movie of 2017 out of the way, when can we expect the 2nd one then? The Los Angeles premiere for "Spider-Man: Homecoming" has been set for June 28th, 2017. Similar to the case of "Vol. 2", we can expect first screening reactions, critics reviews, and all the information dump related to Tom Holland's solo movie, beginning on early June. Or perhaps, much earlier? Yep, L.A. Times shared a new official photo of Spidey inside a pipe, accompanied by a breakdown of what his VERY convenient suit can do. After all, it's Tony Stark's creation! LOL. There's another one from EW, included in an article that focused on director Jon Watts' and Holland's experience with the production, considering the two "were in the same boat". In case you forget, "Homecoming" is the only MCU movie this year that takes place on Earth! So in that sense, it could be considered an important movie, because it's one of two that will directly lead up towards "Infinity War".

The other one is of course, Ryan Coogler's "Black Panther" that will arrive February 16th next year. A movie that had just wrapped production in Atlanta, but already sounds stunningly promising in many delicate ways: first female cinematographer in Rachel Morrison, dashing 'tribal-modern fusion' costumes by Oscar nominee Ruth E. Carter, fully imaginative high-tech metropolitan Wakanda, and stellar supporting cast, among others. Both Holland's Peter Parker and Chadwick Boseman's T'Challa debuted in "Captain America: Civil War" to critical acclaimed last year. We know that the two has officially joined the MCU's shirtless club, that even the bigwigs at Marvel Studios thought as something brag-worthy (LOL!!!). Yet the biggest question for them, is whether their stand-alone features will perform as good, or even better as the hype. Whether the directorial visions of Watts and Coogler are the right ones to catapult each solo title into their own franchises. Because if they are, then they will be joining the likes of Peyton Reed and Scott Derrickson who are moving forward with their second MCU movie.

Meanwhile, production for "Infinity War" is still ongoing in Scotland. And the latest sighting will make fans of the comics glee with joy. Why? Actor Paul Bettany was seen filming a romantic scene with Elizabeth Olsen, confirming that the relationship of his Victor Sha... I mean Vision and her Wanda Maximoff actually have progressed significantly since their encounter in "Avengers: Age of Ultron". There's something more to the scene though, because Bettany is NOT in his thick Vision makeup! Thus many have been assuming this could be either a dream-scene, or an alternate reality caused by one of the Infinity Stones. In fact, it makes sense to be the movie's happy ending too.

Speaking of 'happy ending', don't assume that this scene is part of the 2019's UNTITLED Avengers movie. Why? Eventhough the Russos DID plan to film both movies concurrently, apparently what might have sounded possible in theory, didn't work out so well in practice. Feige revealed to Collider, that the studio has decided to change course, and film both movies as back-to-back but entirely separate productions. "It became too complicated to cross-board them like that, and we found ourselves—again, something would always pay the price", he admitted, which might point out various issues like technical requirements of making sure both movie would be different from one another, actor's scheduling, and others. Which means, every behind the scenes candid images we've seen so far, are all part of "Infinity War". Feige then confirmed that they expect filming for the first movie to wrap in July, before moving on with the next one in August. Think of it like how Peter Jackson worked on his "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Hobbit" trilogies.

Last but not least, Feige also teased that while they are focusing on the seven ongoing tasks at hand, the MCU might be 'evolving' into a different form/route beginning in Phase 4. If... it can even be called that way, of course. "Certainly as we get to Infinity War there is a sense of a climax if not a conclusion to, by the time we’re at untitled Avengers 4, the 22 movies that will have encompassed the first three phases of the MCU. And what happens after that will be very different. I don’t know if it’s Phase 4, it might be a new thing.", he openly said to Collider. Intriguing, because if we observe closer, two of the confirmed titles ("Vol. 3" and "Homecoming 2") have their own separate and unique timelines; one probably mere months apart, while the other taking the "Harry Potter" yearly approach. A third that has been unofficially confirmed, the next chapter to "Doctor Strange", isn't likely to be bound by time and space either. Feige summed up that after 2019's Avengers movie, the MCU is "gonna be very, very different.". Hmmm... let's just say, I won't be at all surprised if the official title for Avengers 4 is called... "AVENGERS: SECRET WARS"! *wink*

Marvel TV

As Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." closing in on its 4th season finale, the fate of this ABC network series remains a huge question. Will it be renewed for a 5th year? And will it serve as the final season, as Entertainment Weekly has predicted before? Fans of the show, however small and numbered it might be, are anxious to find out. But while we're waiting for the answer, Marvel TV isn't stopping anytime soon. Instead, they are moving forward with their two Freeform projects.

The first one is Marvel's "New Warriors", as the former ABC family network officially announced its main roster! As speculated, it's a combination of actual "New Warriors" members from the comics, as well as ones from "Great Lake Avengers". The characters were revealed last week, complete with a catchy comic book art to accompany the announcement. They are (in list, because I love one): - Doreen Green, or Squirrel Girl. Well, duh? Obviously she's part of the show! Because it's the character that Freeform has always wanted to get from the beginning. According to Freeform, Doreen is an empowered girl, and a natural leader. Fitting to her power of acrobatic, and as such, she is bouncy and energetic. She will be accompanied by her pet squirrel Tippy Toe, everywhere she goes. - Craig Hollis, or Mister Immortal. True to his superhero alias, he's practically unable to die. Problem is, the lazy guy hasn't made use of this ability at all, and tends to be cocky and grumpy instead. Freeform calls him as the team's troublemaker. Or as I would see it... the jerk whom I would easily hate. - Dwayne Taylor, or Night Thrasher. He doesn't have any super ability, but he's a... Youtube artist? Huh? Ain't that something that the millenials would dig, right? He's rich kid who's pretending he's not, because he's a local celebrity 'hero' who is... shamelessly full of himself. Wow, our first two guys both sound annoying already. - Robbie Baldwin, or Speedball. His ability is to launch kinetic balls of energy, which of course would require CG work. His character description is kind of important, because it confirms that the show takes place in the MCU. Yes, because he's a fan of the Avengers Tower. Unfortunately, he's "impulsive and immature people-pleaser with a misplaced sense of confidence". My oh my, why do all the guys are characterized like this? - Zack Smith, or Microbe. This guy might already be my favorite, because he's a shy and sweet big guy who... talks to germs? Huh? Yep, his ability practically turns him into some kind of telepath, as he can tell everything from the millions germs scattering in the planet. Considering the MCU has very few people who can be categorized as an actual telepath (Scarlet Witch, and Mantis?), this is a good excuse to make Zack be another one. Judging from the character design, it seems like an Asian-American is going to be cast for this character. - Deborah Fields, or Debrii. This lesbian African-American is proud, and has a sharp tongue. Always unafraid to say what she thinks, and calls out people on their BS. Sounds like an amazing frenemy to either Craig, Dwayne, or Robbie, right? She has the power of telekinesis, and also acts as some sort of trickster.

If you ask me, I think these characters are good, and also wise choices because they represent diversity. No actor has been announced just yet because the casting process is said to commence very soon. But considering how fast this show is moving forward since it was greenlit, I wouldn't be surprised if we're getting cast announcement next week! I'm still not sure if I can see this show, considering it's airing on Freeform, but the idea of a 30-minutes 10-episodes only live-action comedy is too good for me to miss out. Obviously, if there's one main concern I have for it, is whether they can nail the VFX for show or not. And how much practical effects that will be utilized. Like the case of Tippy Toe, will an actual squirrel plays the rodent? Or a completely CG character? Of course, having characters like Mister Immortal, Night Thrasher, and Microbe is a beneficial cheat, considering their abilities can all be done practically. Even Debrii's power can also be done through simple camera tricks. The biggest challenge would be Speedball's, and the appearance of Squirrel Girl. Let's hope showrunner Kevin Biegel, and Marvel TV can work these out. Marvel's "New Warriors" is expected to arrive in 2018, which means, plenty of time to get the VFX done.

The first trailer for Marvel's "Cloak and Dagger" has been released! I did NOT see this coming. After all, the series won't premiere until Winter 2018, right? Unless, that literally means January or February, since both months are still regarded as winter. Hmmmm. Anyway, as soon as I'm done with the trailer, I'm 100% certain that this show is NOT for me. Not saying it's bad, because the whole teenage romance thing is, well, certainly new for Marvel. So a 'good job' for them is at hand? I don't know why, it just doesn't work for me. The lack of special effects, perhaps (that practical one looks... weak, and fake)? Too soap-opera for my taste, probably? Or is it because a conservative soul like me and some others just couldn't get the charm of it. Maaaaan, I feel old *sigh*. As I said before, as much as I liked the characters in the comics, I'm going to give this series a pass. It's definitely a no go for me. The only thing I liked about this is the logo... and that's saying much.

I can't help but wonder if these lovers would somehow, in some way, have a crossover with the "New Warriors". Both are running in the same network, and the age gap between their characters aren't too big. Of course, we must not forget that "Cloak and Dagger" takes place in New Orleans, while "New Warriors" will be in... hold on, they haven't mentioned where the setting will be, huh? Character description for Speedball mentioned 'Avengers Tower' though, so it likely takes place in New York. If that's the case, now I'm wondering if Squirrel Girl and her friends will bump into any of the Defenders, or Doctor Strange, or even Spider-Man? Aaargh.... this whole #itsallconnected thing is confusing.

Netflix

Would you look at that! Marvel's "Luke Cage" has... begun production for its 2nd season? Wowzers... Marvel is certainly firing on all cylinders, attacking on all front last week, huh? However, just like Marvel's "Jessica Jones", this report didn't arrive from Marvel, who usually posted an official announcement for a start of production. Instead, this silently came into public's attention through some keen-eyed fans who spotted the working title of "Luke Cage" being set up in Port Washington, New York. Add to that, Simone Missick's tweet about her training for the new season, and many can easily come into the same deduction.

Intriguingly, assuming this report IS true, "Luke Cage" going into production at the same time as "Jessica Jones" feels a little suspicious, eh? If I recall correctly, "Jessica Jones" showrunner Melissa Rosenberg did teased about Mike Colter's Luke's appearance in the series. So I'm secretly wishing this is the case, because his presence did wonder in the 1st season. Don't forget, Colter was cast due to his chemistry with Krysten Ritter! As for "Luke Cage", we need to remember that showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker actually wanted to do a "Heroes for Hire" show. But we all know how it turned out right? He was hired to do the solo series instead. With Scott Buck being occupied with Marvel's "The Inhumans", and the uncertainty of his Marvel's "Iron Fist" getting another season (sad to say, it's Netflix and Marvel TV's worst-reviewed show so far), could we be seeing Finn Jones' Danny Rand and Jessica Henwick's Colleen Wing entering the world of Luke Cage instead? I certainly hope so, because that would be the WISEST decision for both series. Coker would get what he have always wanted, and Marvel fans can finally see these two lead characters turning into that charming best buddies we've always seen in various other medias. Not to mention, Missick's Misty Knight can pair up with Henwick's Colleen as well. Once again, just like in the comics! To be honest, I don't have any interest to see new season for both series at this moment, but a pleasant twist like that would totally alter said plan completely... XD

Of course, that's merely a random speculation on my part. And a wishful thinking too. If the recent exclusive on MCU Exchange is also true, then well, such fantastic crossover already sounds unlikely. Which means, there goes my excitement level...

As for Marvel's "The Punisher", Tyler Bates who has done work for James Gunn's MCU movies, will be lending his hand to score the series. Possibly hinting towards a more rock and roll, or heavy metal vibe to the music. One more thing, actress Rosario Dawson had openly stated that she won't be showing in the series. Not really a surprise, because her Claire Temple never really interacted with Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle before. I think her role will specifically be taken over by Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page this time. She did remark that she would love to be in it, but scheduling conflict somehow prevented her from doing so. Marvel's "The Punisher" is expected to premiere this Fall.

Kamen Rider Shally

Tokusatsu scooper Dukemon, posted some reports regarding the next Kamen Rider season following "Kamen Rider Ex-Aid". According to him, the rumored title will be "Kamen Rider Shally", and as previously hinted before, is a SUSHI-themed. Shally will be using the Shally Driver, and Neta Units to transform. He added that Shally will have three forms, obtained through the Neta units: Maguro, Ika, and Tamago. These are all obviously named after variants of Sushi that uses tuna, squid, and roll-egg respectively. For now, we need to consider this rumor with a huge grain of salt. But Dukemon is reliable, as many report he posted ended up becoming a fact. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Persona

"Persona 5" is still taking the main attention of many Persona-fans until now, but it seems Atlus is already moving forward with new projects for the franchise. According to Gematsu, Ryu's Office, the company who worked with Atlus to register domain names, has submited several Persona-related ones on April 18th. These names include: P3D, P5AG, P5D, P5R, P5U, Persona-Dance, PQ2. Three more were submitted on April 4: Persona8, Persona9, and Persona10.

Since they have created a crossover title between "Persona 4" and "Persona 3" before in form of "Persona 4 Arena", it seems likely that one of said domain might be a continuation to said title. Perhaps, the P5U one stands for "Persona 5 Ultimax/Arena"? I hope that's the case, because the possibility of the Phantom Thieves of Heart crossing path with the Inaba Investigation Team is too good to ignore. The notion of a Persona title from 8 to 10 is also intriguing. I don't recall we have heard any rumble of a "Persona 6" just yet, but they already book the spot up to 10! That's... WOW, right? Nevertheless, if Atlus can continue building better and better game like what they have done with P5, I don't see why there can't be a "Persona 10" somewhere in the franchise's bright future...

What’s in a name (pt. 2)

Bucky x Reader

Warnings: swearing, alcohol, idk anything else someone might not like

This is an OC series I’m working on. I’ve connected it with the X-Men stuff and it takes place after Civil War, but it all works out.

pt. 1 here 

---------------------------------

E stood in front of her mirror in her room the X-Men mansion. Dresses scattered on top of her bed made up her discarded pile. Beside that pile, sat Jubilee scrolling on her phone. She was called in to help E find a dress for the party and auction tonight at the Plaza Hotel.

“What about the shimmery orange colored one? Put that with some nude heels and you’re set.” Her gummed snapped as she asked.

“Nah I wore that a while ago, plus I think Meghan (Pixie) wants to borrow it for a date. The open back is good with her wings. I don’t know.. I want the right dress! I haven’t gone to a function with the Avengers in a long time. Hell, none of us have in eons! I wanna look good.” She huffed as she pushed back some silver hairs from her face. “Juju bee what about the dark green one? I’d put it with my black corset heels and some gold accessories?” She turned to face her friend on the bed and looked at her with a questioning expression.

“You look good in anything! Ugh you could have a feed bag on your head and be a goddess.” She huffed while dramatically dropping her arms on the bed. Then she calmed down and gave a serious reply. “The green would look good. You managed to get a date with James Proudstar with it.”

E titled her head to the side and slightly nodded in agreement. She smirked and said, “You’re not wrong. And those were a few good months of dating him. Til he left me for Blink. I can’t even get annoyed or upset because they are so sweet. Plus, it wasn’t going to go anywhere.. Anyway! So green it is. Hair up or down?” The friend replied up and went back to her phone.

“Any other reason you want to look so good tonight? Finally going to let Sam Wilson think he has a chance with you?” She stayed to keep her friend company while she got ready for the event tonight, but couldn’t help but tease her a little bit.

Blushing, but rolling her eyes, E played defense. “No, no reason at all. I just want to look good. That a crime?” She played back, but her mind flashed to a certain someone. “It’s nice to be noticed.”

“I’m not saying it isn’t, but the Avengers are hot and we don’t see them all the time like the guys here. Not to mention, you need to get some.”

“Says who?” She gives you a look and a snap of her gum. “Fine maybe I do, but as much fun as a hook up is, I’m looking for a more secure, long term type thing here.”

“Well if you want that, then a bolder eye look; and straighten your hair. Really get someone’s attention tonight. But then it’ll be the ones who aren’t intimidated by you.” The pyrotechnic mutant grabbed the silver-haired woman’s shoulders and put her chin on her head while twirling a few hairs.

*fast forward to the evening*

Music and chatter swelled as guests mingled around the Plaza’s grand hall. E found herself at the base of the stairs, talking with some political head honchos. She was three cosmos in and only feeling herself being barely buzzed enough to deal with them. Some of them were still condescending towards mutants, despite the fact that they’ve saved the world’s ass more than a few times. She was here to have a good time and not to listen to people drone about the real world, let alone politics.

“You know what gentlemen, lady, I have to… walk away now.” She stepped away leaving stunned high-powered figures. As she approached the bar again she heard Tony laughing.

“Those people will be pissed at me now because of that.”

E rolled her eyes, “Please, they barely like me anyway. Plus I’m sure one of them will drop a fat and impressive number and win something at the auction. That and the drinks will help them forget all about it.” She turned to the bartender and ordered a shot of silver tequila and another cosmo. “Thanks for the open bar by the way. Want a shot?”

“I’m good. Thanks though, and I know it takes more than the average amount of booze to get you toasted but umm any reason you ordered a shot at a charity auction?” He wasn’t judging, but genuinely curious.

“Oh you know, having one for Wade. Plus I’m preparing for Sam’s next pass at me.” She smiled at the man in front of her with the rose-colored glasses. “Now if you excuse me, I am going to go mingle and find a cute man to dance with.” She strutted away to scope out everyone present, starting with the auction tables. That way she could made a bid or two in the meantime.

While E was conversing with Tony, others were having their own fun. Off to the other side of the bar, Thor was pouring Steve and Bucky some of his industrial mead. The three men, Wanda, and Sharon Carter were talking amongst themselves, waiting for the party to kick in a little bit more before going out to the crowd.

“Hey Buck, if you stare at her anymore I think you may either go blind or put a hole in her.” Sharon spoke up from her brandy while Steve suppressed a laugh into his new cocktail. “Go ask her to dance or something. She clearly is here to have a grand time. She just downed that shot like water.”

The long haired man almost glared at her, but he was too busy watching the subject of conversation indeed take the shot like a champ. And he was a bit impressed. He noticed Tony and her laughing as she followed her shot with another cocktail. He was curious about how she was handling herself. It must have showed on his face, because Steve spoke up beside him.

“It takes a bit more than usual for her to be effected by alcohol. She can get drunk, quicker than us, but about five shots of Everclear to her are equivalent to one or two shots of any average liquor to any average person. So about three shots of Thor’s stuff. Maybe though, since she’s never actually had any. Sam and Clint learned that the hard way. E drank them under the table! Now, go ask her to dance. She’s heading towards the auctions.” Steve nudged him in her direction as the others egged him on.

With a grunt and small glare at his friends, he approached the woman whose purple eyes were permanently burned into his brain. As she’s glancing at every item up for bid on the tables. He takes not of her elegant stance and the way her hair stands out against the dark green of her dress, and sparkles from her gold accessories make her shine. An idea however, pops into his head. So he makes a detour towards the DJ. Once he walks back towards the woman, La Vie En Rose begins to play. His pride boosts a bit when he sees her perk her head up and smile. He did have the right idea!

“Would you like to dance?” He asks simply to gain her attention. When E smiles and nods yes, the words begin to play. The metal hand Bucky is known for grabs her own and his hand places itself on her waist, and hers goes to his shoulder. However, it is the English Louis Armstrong version that begins to play. With a scoff he says, “Damn I meant for the original to play.”

Her eyebrows perk up and she thinks it’s cute how he put some thought into the song. “It’s quite alright. I may know both versions, and the original is a classic, but there is something beautiful about this one.”

“At least it’s long enough for a proper dance. Especially with someone who knows how to genuinely dance.”

“People nowadays know how to dance, just not the classic manner we grew up with. I will say, I do appreciate that you know how to properly lead. Last time I had one of those was in the 80s.”

He instantly wants to know more about her past, to know everything about her unique history. “Someone special?”

“He was actually.” E takes note of his slightly surprised answer, not expecting that answer. “He was someone from my past, but he’s gone now.”

“Damn I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring something like that up.” Guilt washes over him, despite her reassurance that everything was fine. “Alright I’m going to change the subject now in a not so smooth manner. How many dances or drinks will it take for you to tell me what E stands for?”

The chuckle she lets out makes him feel like he could float. “More than you may think. But you’re cute, so I will tell you that it is a nickname. Both for my powers and the fact that my first, middle, and last name start with E. Wow.. Either I am becoming a lightweight or I don’t know because I have not revealed that much to someone I just met in a long time.”

“I consider myself lucky then. Although I will tell you that one way or another I will find out your name.” She appreciated his teasing tone, it was sweet and made her really smile. “Also, thanks for callin’ me cute darling.”

They kept dancing until the song and the next one was finished. After they made a few bids at the auction, they went to the bar where the others were secretly watching them interact.

Thor was the first to greet the woman with a bright smile and fair question. “E can I offer you another drink?”

“You know I can never pass you up on that Thor. Vodka gimlet please. So how is everyone?”

“Emma Ester Edwards. My guess for the month.” Everyone turned to Wilson who looked confident in the name he just blurted out. Everyone laughed as he pouted after E simply shook her head no with a sassy smirk on her face. “Oh come on! I have been at this since I met you girl. Will you even tell me if I get it right?”

“I take offence that you think I would lie to you. I promise if you ever somehow get it right, I will tell you. But that day will happen no sooner than you lifting Thor’s hammer so I’m not worried.” She looked proud of herself for that one. Confidently she sipped her drink, flipped her hair, and leaned her arm on Bucky’s shoulder. He seemed to get the hint right away and put his arm around her waist. She felt good, looked good, and knew the night ahead was going to be worth the time spent getting ready.
