    Well, you're probably right. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have convinced me that the worst-case scenario always happens with Wanda (and a lot of weird things do happen with her...

    I'm going to regret talking about this, but seeing this new cover for an Avengers reprint reminds me why I'm still worried by the new color guides for Wanda's skin tone. It's more obvious here than...

    Sure, and the MCU movies often soft-pedal (or is it soft-peddle?) that aspect of superheroes and play up the other side of Marvel, heroes as self-absorbed bunglers who do the right thing in the end....

    I mean among other things, the importance of solidarity, breaking the cycle of violence and foreswearing revenge, not turning a blind eye to what is going on outside your country... I don't think...

    “Girlboss” is too vague I agree, but Wanda definitely is not a girlboss, for the reasons you mentioned. She’s an old-fashioned character and so it never occurred to the MCU people that she could...

    If they had had Doctor Strange get corrupted and run around murdering people to get Christine back, that might be a point, but we were mostly just told about it. What we saw onscreen was the same...

    Disney is terrible, just not because they're too progressive.

    If we say a patient is sick but pick the wrong disease, we're wrong even though we were right about them being sick.

    I can't believe there are still people who think the MCU problem is being too woke after they built Doctor Strange 2 around the old "women can't be trusted with power because motherhood makes them...

    Also (sorry to repeat this) it was never announced that way but both relaunches were probably inspired by "X-Force." The New Mutants had the same problem as the West Coast Avengers, they were both...

    So to say something positive for once, I enjoyed Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver 2. It feels like Orlando and his editor are doing a good job of offering some of the things fans have been asking for, but...

    Yes, it comes from one of those "leaker" Patreons where someone with industry sources passes along rumors, though their sources don't know everything.

    I can certainly believe Iger wants to focus...

    I didn't really think it went anywhere, like a lot of story ideas in the comic. The idea of fusing Tony's tech with Wanda's probability powers to figure out where the next problem would be was fun,...

    I thought Abnett and Lanning's writing of the Scarlet Witch was mostly great. It's hard to take an old-fashioned, girly-girl heroine like Wanda and make her a tough early '90s character but I think...

    Faith in minor characters is pretty much the core of the MCU, though. Feige realized that characters most of the public didn't know, like Iron Man, could be just as successful as the A-list...

    Poor character work, repetitive story points and forcing characters into the overall narrative of the MCU.
