    Veil is depowered. Mettle is definitely dead. Reptil's fate was left uncertain. Finesse, Striker, and Hazmat are all alive and well, but obviously not appearing anywhere now.

    Yeah, though the costume is the updated one that debuted in the Falcon series, rather than the original one from Spencer's books (which had more blue). They changed the costume after only a few months. I assumed it was Falcon's artist redesigning the characters, but this movie may have been the real reason.

    So, looks like this might be the last 'gift' from the Alonso era. More of the same failed ideas but too far into production to stop now.

    Can't say that I've been impressed by the declining quality of Marvel's cartoons ever since the Disney takeover. We've fallen a long way from the 90s X-Men cartoon.

    I can’t say I’m too interested in the line up. I’m also probably not the target audience.

    The only thing I love about the line up is how diverse it is and how the “SJW hunters”and “no more diversity” people will tear their hair out.

    I'm just hoping the animation and writing is a step-up from the regular cartoons.

    And then if it is I'm going to complain about why the normal cartoons don't have this quality .

    No mutants.
    It's definitely a legal/rights thing with the Bradleys. In varying capacities, Kevin Grievoux wanted Isaiah for a Blue Marvel mini, Kieron Gillen wanted Eli for Young Avengers, and Coates wanted Josiah X for The Crew. All were told no. I have my own theories as to why, but it is what it is.

    It's a really unexpected choice indeed. My theory is that Marvel is doing with Rayshaun everything they've wanted to do with Eli, but since it appears they just can't use him anymore, they've moved on. From Spencer's Captain America run to being the Falcon's new sidekick and now this new animation, I think all of this would've been Eli if it was possible.

    I don't think they are mixing the actual characters, but just the hairstyle. I really doubt Stacy is going to resemble Poole's personality in any way. They are very, very different.

    Not really. America just does the star-spangled style for show, as she's not even american. She's not even human! It's a Wonder Woman kind of situation. Patriot is the one who truly carries Captain America's legacy in a meaningful way. Not sure how much of that they will explore in this animation, though.

    So, it's a theatrical movie with a few prequel web shorts? Or are the "shorts" just the first act of the movie? And is this going to be a regular release or one of those special night/limited screening deals?

    Seeing as the movie hasn't even released yet, we have no way of knowing if it's a failed idea or not.

    Maybe. On the other hand, this one could be a turning point (esp. if it is getting some kind of theatrical release).

    Didn't you hear though? It's full of "failed ideas", ergo, it's a failed movie. Logic.

    Anyway, a lot of characters I like on here, plus my #1 character, so I'm on board.

    Daisy has always been a younger hero in the comics. It's only AoS that bumped up her age to mid-20s to early 30s.

    Well, when these same characters can barely sell a comic the failure of this movie all but a forgone conclusion. Captain Marvel's comic gets cancelled seemingly every 18 months, despite constant relaunches from Marvel. While America might just be the most hated comic a mainstream publishers has produced in the last decade. These are not the names you wanted headlining the big push for Secret Warriors. Heck, if anything they'll probably just drag down Kamala with them.

    Well Captain Marvel was doing strong pre-Secret wars and at the beginning of ANAD then CW2 happen and well we all know how that went.

    Good thing they are targetting a wider public than the couple of people who still read comics, then.

    Yeah that's what I was asking. Is it a big hero 6 release or a killing joke 2 nights only release?

    I'm sure kids of all ages will line up to watch the movie and buy toys of Inferno and America Chavez.

    If they are seeking the Superhero Girls audience they are doing it wrong, even reusing the plot, characterization and designs of the Avengers Academy mobile game would be a better option.

    You know why they didn't? That would mean pushing the Janet van Dyne version of Wasp. Which doesn't match the MCU or cartoons, of course.

    Yeah, wasn't she director of SHIELD at only 18 years old, just a few years ago? Even in the current Secret Warriors comic I doubt she's older than 21. The original Secret Warriors, except for mentor Nick Fury, were all teenagers. AOS aged her up to match Chloe's age.
