Comics/Graphic Novels

Not to brag... but I was an OG Sonic comic fan back in the day. Probably started reading before issue #5 even came out.

You may touch me, but not too much. My magic is finite.

Regarding the movies, i gotta say, im on board with what DC seems to be doing. I saw that new Batman Vs Superman trailer and i liked the fact that Superman and Wonderwoman are played by relatively unknown actors.

It's refreshing not to see the same old hollywood stars you see in every goddamn movie, that's ok for other movies but with superhero movies the character themselves are already great so you don't always need a trendy hollywood star to play them.

Some are great like Downey playing Iron man but for other characters it's not really necessary because just cause you have an A-List actor that doesn't mean you'll have a good movie, the Green lantern painfully proved that.

Oh, and while I'm only halfway through the Ant-Man movie, I'm pretty sure Wasp is both an old lady and dead in the MCU. So... I imagine that's a no on Janet.

Death hasn't stopped her before, why start now? She's been blown up, eaten by the Blob, jettisoned into a microverse, put into a coma, and more, but she always comes back.

Did she ever come back from back from being roughly the same age as Michael Douglass?

Oriphiel · 12-09-2015, 07:06 PM

That shit was just for the movie. Which I haven't seen yet.

But you know Marvel. If the fans want a dead/old character to come back, they can just rejuvenate them and explain it away later. So here's hoping the Wasp eventually gets her due.

I don't think Wasp is popular enough for her for Marvel to care. I'm totally down for an Ultimates movie, though, so we get to see Ant-Man vs. Wasp (an actual name of one of the ****ing issues).

Remember back in the Secret Invasion when Pym thought he was such a badass bossing Wasp around, but then Wasp exploded and he got all mopey and tried to become a man-Wasp?

Haven't read Secret Invasion. I find it incredibly difficult to maintain the attention span to keep up with those big-as-**** mega-events.
