    Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

    Yeah, bad times don’t last forever, but Bad Guys do. RIP Scott.

    Huh, seems like they're giving her a different power set. I'm ok with that.

    Well, they messed up the Inhumans, so that aspect is out.

    And stretching powers, generally, do not resolve well in live action.

    This feels like the right call. Looks like some version of the quantum bands, I think?

    I saw someone guess the Nega bands, in order to connect her closer to Captain Marvel

    Honestly I don't feel bad about Scott Hall passing so much as I feel happy for him having made it as far as he did, because he by all means should have died 15-20 years ago

    DDP really gave him a new lease on life. Same with Jake the Snake.

    Kind of trivial in light of Hall’s death, but have you seen any of the Guardians of Justice on Netflix?

    DDP plays the lead (a Batman analogue) and John Morrison / Nitro / Mundo / Impact / Hennigan is also in it.

    I mean it’s tragically terrible, even as a parody, but it’s a thing that exists. Probably the worst Justice League analogue I’ve ever seen.

    I have not, but will soon. Few things better than a bad parody.

    Some of the thinking might be, too, that the energy powers also probably tie better visually-thematically to Captain Marvel herself.

    They could have just given her general shape-shifting like she originally had when her powers first triggered, but I guess it would depend on how they want to do the action scenes. Or they could have done the giant/shrink thing, but they probably felt it too similar to Ant-Man.
