Hummingbird was easy for me, she's got too squiffily defined powers, and that bugs me. (Plus she's associated with Huitzilopochtli, the 'left-handed hummingbird' and god of war, which is cool AF,...

IIRC, it was one of those names that got dumped on her by the press, like the Hulk or the Thing. In her case, she was in fact a Captain. (Coast Guard, I think?) And some crewman she saved said,...

That comic scene of the boys exploring the house where 'mom lived with the Vision' annoys me if only for that single line. They'd spent, to that point, far more of their lives in the presence of...

Still my least favorite part of that movie, teasing me with the death of Hawkeye, and then killing Quicksilver instead. And then they stomped on my heart again by doing it in Endgame, with Black...

Just as Wanda's origin has gotten some extra layers of context to suggest that the Mind Stone just unlocked something that was already there, I think it's entirely possible that Monica's origin might...

I wouldn't even mean that as a joke. :) I thought the other three Netflix Defenders were excellent, with Cox really owning the role, in particular.

Ah, Ultragirl and Debrii!

That was one of my boggles with making a team, is that they had so darn many cool ladies. I kept ending up with something out of a harem anime with one dude and six...

I don't even mind Ezra Miller. He's no more or less Barry Allen than Grant Gustin (both of whom feel more like a Wally West sort of starting out speedster character than a growed-up forensic...

Clearly the kids reappeared in Westview and are being raised by auntie Agatha, who remembers them as her neighbors kids and vaguely important, for some reason she can't quite put her finger on.
...

Exactly! She doesn't have to grow wings to fly, she doesn't have to turn into a cheetah to run like one, she doesn't have to grow physical gills or turn into an aquadynamic shape with pebbly skin to...

Great post. It's really easy to overstate things and get all worked up with fake outrage over this fictional character and her fictional actions, but, at the end of the day, it's not terribly...

Nova feels like he's really leveled up and beyond the others, at this point, so he's right out. Justice and Firestar as well, to a lesser extent. Namorita, kinda, also she's still got some...

The real reason, they aren't done milking the story yet.

Elixir has *already* repowered a mutant who had lost her powers, by accident, like a week after he discovered his powers. They've got...

And the Champions aren't the 1975 Champions and the Defenders aren't the original Hulk/Dr. Strange/Namor Defenders and the Marauders aren't those Marauders and Agents of Atlas aren't those Agents of...

Yeah, she's got absolute scads of interesting and useful potential powers, and it feels like some writers just invent whatever crap they want and come up with some lame 'oh, it's the proportional...

Goodness, that would be a fun team. Mockingbird, Songbird and Diamondback, hit a lot of the same beats when on other teams, so it would be fun to see how very different they can be playing off each...

Did not know he was dead, but definitely would like to see him again!

There aren't nearly enough prominent black male mutants, and one with a power that is not reactive/passive (like Darwin,...

I'm fairly certain I saw someone this week in Van Dyne branded shirt in some comic. Runaways perhaps?

Agreed. It's super-annoying that she got replaced by Black Widow, the *third* woman to be an Avenger, *11 years* after the Wasp was a member, as a founding Avenger, and all because some dude was...

Yeah, Rise of X, Powers of X, House of X, Days of X, Twilight of X, Fall of X, Crisis on Infinite X (okay, probably not that one...), there's plenty of potential without necessarily using 'Men' in...

That was probably my favorite bit. So true to MCU Vision's character, to try and resolve this conflict with his big ol' brain!

The art turnaround was so amazing. I always go back to read this and the first few issues I'm like, "I don't remember it looking so bad..." and then I get to these last few issues and I totally wish...

Ditto. Exodus is the one Council member who has yet to get any focus (other than to basically be Sinister's foil), so him being set up as the Serpent in the Garden is fun.

I did kind of like his wife. She got some good snark in at his expense and did a good job of giving a vibe of having known him and them having a special connection. (Him, not so much. She'd made...

Depends on whether or not the actor can keep his big yap shut and not say something bone-headed like 'Black Widow's such a slut!' in interviews. :)

As for the character, Hawkeye was struggling...
