I'll be looking forward to this season of #ThePunisher even though it may be the last. https://youtu.be/DwpFmqf--UM

The Captain Marvel trailer dropped the other day and I didn't share it because ... meh . But this, this is Avengers: Endgame where we will see the culmination of 10 years of MCU. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA6hldpSTF8&feature=share

Well, that's a damn shame. If any shows made it I would thought Daredevil would have sauntered past the Netflix / Marvel Disney squabbles. https://comicbook.com/marvel/2018/11/30/daredevil-season-3-cancelled-netflix-marvel-season-4/

Finally had a chance to see Venom . It was ... not good. I still don't see how you can have the symbiote in the Spider-Man mythos without first having it attached to Peter Parker. The acting was sub-par. The plot was silly. The symbiote named itself Venom ? Because outer space goo-aliens have English names? The symbiote considered itself a loser? Since when? Eddie Brock's and the symbiote's undying hatred for Peter Parker are what fueled their bond, not some sort of genetic match. The symbiote survived for years on Spider-Man without having to eat people, but now it can't go days without human kibble? There was just so much wrong with this film. https://youtu.be/xLCn88bfW1o

The first trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has over 30 million views. Of course Sony is already greenlighting sequels. If 30 million people go see the first movie that's a pretty big paycheck for Sony's Spider-Man investment. 30 x $12 (average ticket price) = 360. Add a bunch of zeroes and that's not too shabby: $360,000,000. https://geektyrant.com/news/theres-a-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-sequel-in-the-works-and-an-all-female-spinoff-film

Reading Stan Lee's works for free isn't a bad way to spend an afternoon. https://www.marvel.com/articles/comics/read-these-landmark-stan-lee-comics-for-free?linkId=59703008

Stan "The Man" Lee: the personification of Americana. _2. He Was the Quintessential American  His was a purely American success story. He was born to Romanian immigrant parents in 1922 New York City; his name was Stanley Lieber, and by the time he was a teenager, he was working odd jobs from newspaper sales to writing obituaries in order to help support his family in their one-bedroom, third-floor Bronx apartment. After graduating from high school, he started as a gofer at a small comic-book publishing company and then worked his way up. His career took a side path when he served in World War II, making training films and manuals with other soon-to-be luminaries, from Charles Addams to Frank Capra to Theodore “Dr. Seuss” Geisel. When he returned to the public sector, he continued to work in whatever he could, from comic books to Hollywood take-offs. Then came the Marvel revolution — a thing that, if not of his own design, was at least his own responsibility to publicize — and...

Everyone is sharing their memories and condolences for the death of Stan Lee. Even Stephen Colbert. https://comicbook.com/marvel/amp/2018/11/14/stephen-colbert-late-show-tribute-stan-lee/

The world really does need more Firefly . “It’s a huge tribute to the creators of the original show that their rich, intriguing world and hilarious, compelling characters could inspire so many additional stories,” Pak told EW. “We’re getting the chance to reveal essential truths about our heroes’ pasts and put them through experiences in the here and now that they’ve never fully dealt with before. As a fan of the show who adores these characters, I can’t wait.” You can't take the sky from me ... ! https://io9.gizmodo.com/a-new-firefly-prequel-comic-will-reveal-the-full-story-1827294071

I thought Winds of Winter was the final book. The good news is that the fire that’s perhaps been flickering these past several years is now burning brightly, as Martin says he’s making the book a priority. “The Winds of Winter is next,” he said, “then I’ll decide what comes after that – whether it’s to go on to A Dream of Spring, the last one, or whether I switch back into Fire and Blood II, do another Dunk and Egg story or two. But I’ll worry about that one thing at a time – that’s too far ahead.” https://news.avclub.com/george-r-r-martin-admits-hes-struggling-with-the-win-1830382987

We all knew this day was coming. RIP, Stan Lee.

Disney said they didn't want to work with James Gunn because of an old Tweet so DC scooped him up to write and direct their next #SuicideSquad film. https://io9.gizmodo.com/james-gunn-is-going-to-dc-and-will-write-the-next-suici-1829631777

I think "morbid curiosity" best describes my interest in Venom . https://film.avclub.com/a-new-venom-movie-still-isnt-sure-what-to-do-with-spide-1829475348

Can we ever have too much #Spider-Man? (hint: The answer is no ) https://youtu.be/tg52up16eq0

Looks like Sam Raimi's Tobey Maguire's #Spider-Man will be on the big screen once more. Yay. https://www.cbr.com/into-the-spider-verse-peter-parker-is-tobey-maguire-spider-man/

I'm still a little annoyed we haven't seen a live-action #Robotech movie yet. He'll, I'd even settle for another anime, or CGI-style, Robotech film. The science fantasy nature of Star Warsblends with the 1980s era anime character designs and invokes many older space-faring anime franchises like Macross, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and Mobile Suit Gundam. Fans can see the anime take on Obi-Wan's final stand against Darth Vader, Luke meeting Han Solo and Chewbacca for the first time, and even a quick glimpse of Princess Leia watching her home world of Alderaan being destroyed. https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/09/23/star-wars-80s-anime-makeover-fan-trailer/

My comic book experience with #CaptainMarvel is extremely limited. When I started reading comics back in the early 90s the character was already dead and Rogue was flying around with her strength, invulnerability and flight powers. Other than a footnote in history Carol Danvers was never really there. Now she is and, for better or worse, Marvel is betting the second generation of it's MCU on her character. “Carol falls down all the time, but she always gets back up,” DeConnick told the video game website. “We say that about Captain America as well, but Captain America gets back up because it’s the right thing to do. Carol gets back up because ‘Fuck you.’” https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5ba69380e4b0375f8f9d878d

These are not Luke Skywalker's final word, but his final thoughts. And while they are a fitting poetic end, I had kind of hoped he hadn't died, that we'd see the Jedi Master in full form one more time. #StarWars https://www.esquire.com/uk/latest-news/a23350422/star-wars-the-last-jedi-luke-skywalker-final-words/
