This a lolwut situation. This is, in fact, a special lolwut situation. I’m not even angry; just sort of of… [DOES NOT COMPUTE]… bemused. To quote Eric Flint: Who ordered this?
Wait… Magneto, A Holocaust Survivor, Is Now a Nazi in the Marvel Comics? What?! https://t.co/bKfXfOQCo6 pic.twitter.com/H4rE65gvi2

The preparations are complete. Now Marvel prepares for the next stage of its machinations. Which will be awesome, because a Defenders series probably means… yup. Squirrel Girl. At the bare minimum, there’ll be a cameo.
(Iron Fist drops March 17th.)
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.
This looks very cool. Both the show, and the ‘motion poster.’ The future has its points.

…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?
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.
Still looking pretty good. I do like the idea of smart bricks. This continues to promise to deliver on that.

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:
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.
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].
