Word on the street is that Feige sees it as a great contender for award season which is why it swapped release with Shang-Chi and was pushed back to November.
This sums up how I feel really well. I'd much rather the MCU be a stepping stone for up and coming actors to go on to do great work than a way to prevent great actors from doing more interesting work
So, between Apocalypse & Moon Knight, is Oscar Isaac just super into Marvel characters with ties to Egypt? Also, not directly Marvel related, but since rumors/“scoops” are posted here a lot, especially recently: Used to list Jeremy Conrad as one of the slightly more reliable online nerd scoopers, but... guess not anymore!
Followed him for about a week about a year ago. He was a sarcastic dick to so many of his followers and not just the dickhead know-it-all nerds who deserve it. Makes sense now.
Have a question about Thor: Ragnarok that I think about every time I watch it. Towards the beginning when Thor returns to Asgard with Surtur’s crown, Skurge is there and thinks Odin is still king. Well when Thor exposes Loki as Odin, Skurge arrives and Loki tells him he had just the one job to do. Skurge doesn’t seem surprised to find out Loki was parading around as Odin. Surely he didn’t actually know and if he did not, why or how was he not baffled to find out it has been Loki this whole time?
Old convo, but... And there’s even precedent for their existence actually being in history books and people writing off as some sort of weird quirk of the time and not evidence that they’ve been around in large numbers for thousands of years. See: The Greeks getting very very gay with each other lol. And of course all of the bachelor historical figures with a “very good friend” that was by their side at all times and lived together and etc.
100%. And then, when people discover or try to reclaim queer historical figures, right wing reactionaries always get mad & have trouble wrapping their minds around queerness not being a new thing (just some of the language around it is). I’m pretty sure some mutant (or similar) stories have casually suggested that particular figures from history, or mythology & folklore, were actually secret mutants, so not like that strategy is a new idea! Take that history of queerness irl, plus other examples of marginalized people being erased (from black people in historical contexts, to various ignored genocides & the like). Throw in some influences from mythology, folklore, & urban legends. Boom. An explanation for mutants having always been around that’s 100% less of a stretch than all sorts of things these superhero films already ask us to buy, lol.
Love that they’re doing the Hawkeye series but dying for a recast or for Renner to immediately get phased out
Well this series will probably serve as the handoff for a Kate Bishop Hawkeye right? On a somewhat related tangent, around the release of Endgame I had a hairstylist tell me that I looked like Jeremy Renner. I don’t know what she was smoking cuz I’m a dark, fat Mexican dude so i don’t even know what to say to that
