I’m surprised how quickly the Muse storyline seems to have wrapped up.

Also Vanessa betraying Fisk, but he seems to know about it and not care. I feel like a conversation between them could clear things up without the killing, but maybe that’s just how villains say <3.

Excited to see more Ventress and get more Cad Bane storyline.

Sure, but that isn’t my question. Remove the Multiverse from the equation and look at a character like Phil Coulson.

When a character dies in a film, but lives on TV, and then TV gives them a bunch of backstory and character development, how do you bring them back to films?

I’m most curious to see how Loki is introduced to the film. It’s rare that TV shows have guided the canon and the films were left out.

In the films Loki is dead. He died at the start of Infinity War and Thanos said “No resurrections”.

How do you properly introduce the character again?

TL;DR Are there too many characters for one movie?

People said the same about Infinity War and Endgame and the answer was “No”. Is it a little different this time? Sure.

But these characters aren’t all brand new. Maybe it’s been a few (dozen) years since we’ve seen some of them, but it’s not like people forgot who they are. Blue dude who poofs, give him one scene and everyone will know who they are again.

With so many villains we get to see what they’re up to and maybe understand why they do what they do. With Muse… They just kill people. Maybe they have a message against Kingpin, but they’re just killing. Two people show up and appreciate your work? Dead

I get that with a short season it feels filler, but honestly I had fun. Maybe this is the advantage of long seasons, the ability to just have fun for a minute. Alternatively maybe this episode will pay off, although I do think a deep tie in is unlikely.

I love when things are tied together. When the world crosses with others. Plus if all characters, why Kamala Khan? If it turns out to just be a one off bottle then I still had fun.

Everett K. Ross (Martin Freeman), from the Black Panther films.

Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), from a few things but ultimately Thunderbolts.

Although these are both secondary characters, and many secondary characters aren’t listed in general.

Monica Rambeau

Captain Marvel

Maria Rambeau is missing. Technically she is dead, but if we’re getting Kelsey Grammer and the X-Men universe, last we saw Beast he was with Maria Rambeau (as Captain Marvel).

Any space hero

Does that include The Eternals? Either way they’re all missing.

Lol, that was unfortunate timing. I just assumed they were (roughly) evenly spacing our the Fantastic Four and that Pedro would receive near top billing. So once he appeared it had to be someone big, either a big surprise or RDJ.

Robert Downey Jr! (DOOM)

Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards), I’m guessing we’re nearing the end.

I think there is still a chance he pops up next/soon.

I assume we’re just picking up from the adult timeline, the question is more of when. I’m guessing after X3, but in a timeline where Charles has returned.

It’s also possible we’re picking up after Days of Future Past in the “fixed” timeline, and the fixing done in that film is why they are involved in multiverse shenanigans.

The rumors I’ve heard is that Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) is the one who died early. But it’s also possible that the reveals here include a lie and/or we see another universe characters.

I thought that was a remixed X-Men theme at first.

Super Metroid is definitely the gold standard. Zero Mission definitely feels like it uses Super Metroid as its base. The same is also true for AM2R.

I think if you are getting into the series for the first time, Zero Mission, AM2R, Super Metroid & Metroid Fusion is the order to go in. They all share a similar set of gameplay & graphics.

I think the 3DS Metroid II remake is great, but in terms of cohesiveness, it’s going to stand out among the four games.

That being said it’s made by the same developers who will then go on to make Metroid Dread, which is probably my favorite Metroid game behind Super Metroid, which is the best.
