OK, yeah, this looks like it’ll be all right. Got hatchet-fighters in it, which is always nice for your martial arts flick. I don’t know why, though: it just does.
Not until March, though.

The Iron Fist ‘Motion Poster.’
This looks very cool. Both the show, and the ‘motion poster.’ The future has its points.

Hollywood does shocking cast picks in Black Panther movie!
…They’re still casting black people* for all the major roles. Can Hollywood stand the strain? The sheer insanity?
Marvel has added a new villain to the mix in director Ryan Coogler‘s upcoming film Black Panther. Person of Interest actor Winston Duke will be taking on the role of Man-Ape. That means there are three villains in the film so far. The other two are Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger and Andy Serkis as Ulysses Klaw. Duke also joins Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Danai Gurira, and Lupita Nyong’o.
Yeah, I’m being sarcastic. But less than I’d like. Even for a, you know, African-themed superhero story it’s still mildly noteworthy that they’re going to cast accordingly…

*And Andy Serkis. Soooooo… I guess we now know which character’s going to be mostly motion-capture?
Wait, just how many superheroes are going to be in Infinity War?
Is this number correct?
Perfect. Squirrel Girl is in! Of course that means that the number of characters in Avengers: Infinity War just increased from 67 to 68, and Joe Russo said of his brother Anthony that he’d “die from exhaustion” if one more character was added to the film.
I would imagine so. Look, I’d love to see a Squirrel Girl movie, obviously – I’m fond of the character – but that’s a heck of a lot of capes that are going to be in that film as it is. Maybe they could let just her show up in the Luke Cage series? I mean, Squirrel Girl is the nanny for Luke and Jessica Jones’ kid.
The full ‘Luke Cage’ trailer.
Still looking pretty good. I do like the idea of smart bricks. This continues to promise to deliver on that.

…Also, Marvel’s bringing Iron Fist to Netflix.
2017, because… well. Because they apparently cannot … because it’s… because I don’t know how they’re doing it, man. Oh, I know the basic reason: it’s because Marvel keeps winning. But that doesn’t explain the why. Still, they’ve earned at least a look-see:
Hey, do you want to see the Luke Cage trailer? …Say “Yes, Moe.”
Because… yes. Yes, this will do nicely. Wow. Yeah.
Bring it. #LukeCagehttps://t.co/J04pZrEGPQ

YES. YES, THAT IS HOW YOU PLAY A BRICK. A SMART BRICK. ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW TO CLEAR A ROOM.
Dang *straight* Chris Evans wouldn’t do that.
I mean, I recognize that comic book companies are going to pull dubious PR stunts sometimes, but the rest of us aren’t obliged to let them [pretend that it’s fine and dandy to do so].
somebody asked chris to write "hail hydra" on their picture and he flat out refused

The ‘Doctor Strange’ teaser trailer.
Because Marvel will not be constrained by your puny limitations, mortals! You will have a Doctor Strange movie, and it will make hundreds of millions of dollars, and it won’t matter that he’s not a top-shelf Marvel hero! None of them ever are! It doesn’t matter! The X-Men and FF franchises are trying to figure out right now how to emulate Spider-man’s example and get themselves crammed back into the MCU!
Plus, it has Benedict Cumberbatch in it.
So, I watched the first episode of Jessica Jones last night.
It’s not bad – in fact, it was pretty good – but there’s just something about it that I can’t put my finger on. Not so much off, as different. And I don’t even know if it’s bad-different. Anybody with any thoughts on this, or should I just watch a couple more episodes and it will all make sense suddenly?
