We’re getting the gang back together!
Trish Walker coming too? Luke Cage next? Return of Rosario Dawson to the MCU? Misty Knight? Do we recast the Iron Fist?
So many opportunities. I’m excited.

The Red Hulk early reveal is fine… if it had happened at the halfway in the film. You’re absolutely right everyone goes “Where is Hulk?” and that’s especially true when halfway through the movie he hasn’t shown up.
The final team up villain should have been Sterns, or a lackey of his, or Sidewinder.
We essentially got a 2 act film, the long winding act 1 conspiracy, then Red Hulk the end act 2.
Yes, it is worth it. It’s overly a “kids” show to start, but it matures as it goes along.
There are lists of various essential episodes, which is fine, but even the unessential episodes can still be fun. Of course if you’re calling Jar Jar torture then maybe an abridged version is the way to go.
After The Clone Wars I recommend Rebels & Bad Batch. Also if you’re looking for lore the, “Tales of ____” series are worth your time.
If anything it was a misdirect.
When the world/news goes crazy, it’s probably not actually that bad. Surprise mothetfucker!
Whenever I hear a new term I have to figure out if it’s really that bad, or just made up nonsense.
Yeah. So it’s already confirmed that the Fantastic Four we’re going to meet in “Fantastic Four: First Steps” are in a different universe. So the retro future 60s is unique to that universe. So none of the heroes we’ve come to know exist in that universe.
There is a scene in the latest Fantasy Four trailer that looks like the Earth blowing up and a Fantastic Four ship just outside the Earth.
So the obvious setup is that the Fantastic Four will fail to save their Earth (from Galactus) and end up in the main 616 universe, which may be what we saw in the Thunderbolts* post credits scene.
Of course it may not be that simple.
There is also a question of Dr Doom, where is he? Since a lot of the Fantastic Four trailer seems to be about them already being saviors of the world, maybe Dr. Doom is on the ship we saw in the post-credits, and The Fantastic Four will show up later in a different ship.
This is the second Polygon article I’ve seen do something like this, since OP is just using the title.
Should Andor have killed [redacted]? Let’s discuss
The article title, which while not technically giving anything away, I agree is a spoiler.
We talk through what to make of Vel and Cinta in this week’s Andor
That’s a huge spoiler since now you know which character is involved.
We then get one quick paragraph of mostly filler text, then this beauty,
[Ed. note this post discusses events in episode 6 of Andor season 2.]
Yeah, way to fucking late you’ve already spoiled 90% of the discussion.
They should have had the guinea pig in the New Avengers tower during the post-credits. Cleaning the cage could have been one of Bob’s duties.
FYI Spoilers for “Thunderbolts*” in the subtitle/opening question of this article. The article has a spoiler warning, but AFTER they’ve already spoiled it.
Note: this article has spoilers, but isn’t full of spoilers. If you’re on the fence and don’t mind spoilers, you might find this review helpful. Although, having seen the film, I don’t think it’s the most accurate review.
Though its story dabbles in reflections about grief, it’s mostly a straightforward action flick.
So I won’t disagree that it’s an action flick and it is action heavy, I don’t think “dabbles” is the right word. Grief and mental health are a core part of the film. The bad guy is defeated by a group hug and the power of friendship.
Is it the best execution? Maybe not, but it’s done well and it’s a new idea to explore within the MCU.
While waiting for the post credits scene I noticed the “Fantastic Four Main Theme” during the music section. So the credits spoiled the post credits.
But, does that mean Fantastic Four is going to end with the Fantastic Four universe collapsing and our heroes escaping? I sort of assumed that would be the case, but weird to see another film confirm it.
I agree. I actually did think it was a little rushed at times, but overall no big issues. Great movie.
So I have lots of thoughts on what did happen, but for a moment I want to ask about B2EMO.
Do you think we’ll see Bee again?
Bee definitely isn’t cut out for the rebellion. So maybe Andor is keeping him safe by leaving him behind, but it just seems odd.
Ah, so this is what MC meant. I’ve enjoyed my time here.
Knoppix. I didn’t see it listed yet so I had to chime in.
I saw it and was confused that computers could run something that wasn’t Windows and wasn’t Mac. Then I was handed a Knoppix LiveCD and suddenly MY computer was Linux. Absolutely blew my mind.
I then explored Mandrake (now Mandrivia?) for a while but it never really stuck.
A few years later Ubuntu was handing out LivdCDs to everyone running Warty Warthog and soon after window managers started to use Beryl (?) which let you have a fancy cube desktop. Absolutely pointless but that’s how it all started.
Thanks for the heads up.
To everyone else please don’t make me do work and have to ban things. :)
Cinta & Vel.
I don’t expect the show to do flashbacks (although we got them with Cassian in season 1), but I have to wonder how they first met.
It’s obvious Vel would give up on the whole rebellion right now if she and Cinta could settle down somewhere. Conversely it’s clear that Cinta can give up Vel in order to advance the rebellion even a little bit.
Was Vel a “spoiled rich kid” who picked up the rebellion “for fun” and found Cinta, and now that she’s found love wants to get out?
Did she find Cinta first? But lose her to the rebellion? Did Cinta use Vel and her money/connections to further the rebellion?
So many characters in this show seem reluctant to be rebels. Luthen is 100% in. His assistant is likely 100% in. Cinta is 100% in. Is Cassian? Is going back for Bix and friends a weakness or a strength?
TLDR Yelena & Bob are the standouts, which is good to hear.
I think that’s a pretty great summary. When it comes to unnecessary/years later sequels most are just garbage. I think Matrix 4 is still bad, but I have to give it credit for trying something interesting. It doesn’t work ultimately, but it tried something.
I’m not confident they do, it’s just sort of an open question. We had a light reference to a “new” Iron Fist in an episode of What If…? But not one that would interfere with the current one.
I think Finn Jones can still do it, but I would in if we got a new one.
