Ant-Man was a big let down for me. They could have done so much more. Probably my least favorite MCU film to date.

I, uh, went a little overboard last night and used Comixology to buy most of the recent "Prelude" and "Infinity" comics that tie into the MCU. Surprisingly, they're all pretty good.

     Saw ANTMAN

     Fun little thing. Good to see MD back in action. Everyone did a good job with it.

     Nothing overwhelming. Some humor and passing the torch. I wouldn't mind a sequel.

Yeesh. It's been confirmed that the writers of Vacation will be penning the script for the new Spider-man reboot:

Daley: We can finally acknowledge that.

Goldstein: We've been saying no comment for the last week.

Daley: This is the first time that we can say that we are writing it.

Goldstein: We're thrilled.

Daley: ... He's a sharp kid and witty and kind of deals with the fact that he's an outcast and a geek through humor. It is sort of the safety net for geeks like us, so I think we can totally relate to where he's coming from. As well as the superpowers, which we also have.

Well there was a lot of will they won't they but it looks like....

Marvel’s Mockingbird Series Starring Adrianne Palicki Lands ABC Pilot Order

Despite putting a halt on the “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” spinoff, which was proposed earlier this year, ABC is closing in on a deal to order a pilot for a project centered around Mockingbird, Variety has learned exclusively.

Titled “Marvel’s Most Wanted,” the drama will focus on popular “SHIELD” characters Adrianne Palicki‘s Bobbi Morse (also known as Mockingbird) and Nick Blood’s Lance Hunter. The two actors will topline the pilot and prospective series.

“SHIELD” producers Jeffrey Bell and Paul Zbyszewski co-created the project for Marvel and ABC Studios, co-writing the pilot. They will serve as showrunners and exec producers together with Marvel’s head of television Jeph Loeb also exec producing.

Insiders say the series is not a spinoff, per se, but rather an entirely new project solely focused on the two characters to continue their story. Though plot details are scarce at this point, “Marvel’s Most Wanted” will follow the pair and their adventures together.

At this time, ABC has not made any decisions regarding premiere date or a path of introduction, such as introducing the new show as a planted episode during “SHIELD.”

An “Agents of SHIELD” offshoot was originally reported in April, but was soonafter shot down with the network deciding not to move forward. However, during New York Upfronts this spring, ABC president Paul Lee alluded to the possibility of the series being resurrected, teasing, “It certainly is a possibility of spinning them off.”

Lee added that “SHIELD” had hit its creative strive, suggesting that the net didn’t want to mess around with a formula that was working — which includes Palicki and Blood’s storylines. “We absolutely love those characters on ‘SHIELD,'” he said, at the time.

But with “SHIELD” coming back for Season 3, in addition to “Agent Carter” returning for Season 2, there’s still a large Marvel appetite at ABC. Also in the works at the network, is a top-secret Marvel project helmed by “American Crime” creator John Ridley.

Anybody want to take bets on when this MCU thing will crash and burn? My fingers are crossed that it will happen in 2017.

 As much as I am disappointed with some of their movies and am kinda angered at them for taking away my favourite superhero series, I do not want to lose another favourite. 

The Amazing Spider-man movies brought everything I hoped for and more. They brought me THE Spider-man that I was waiting for, especially after the boring, dumb Raimi trilogy. (Almost) everything about these movies was better: The acting, the action, the special effects, the scripting, etc. The only thing that was actually better in my opinion was the music score, but the new films still had pretty close ranking music to them too 

Seeing the ideas they had here for the 3rd amazing spider-man makes me even more sad we lost this series. I do not want to lose another and would never wish anyone to lose a favourite of theirs either. Not to contradict my claim, but not everyone loves something that is supremely successful or well received, be it Star Wars, Harry Potter etc even if you may love it. To others, these not as popular series are Star Wars and Harry Potter to them, giving them inspiration, hope and support.

So, did anyone catch the Spider-Man reference in Ant-Man?, around the end when Luis is telling the story about Falcon talking to that girl about Ant-Man, Falcon says "Yo I'm looking for this dude who's new on the scene and who's flashing this fresh tack, and who's got like Bomb moves right?, Who you got?" ,The girl says "We got everything now a days, we  gotta guy who jumps, we gotta guy who swings, and we gotta guy who crawls up the walls you gotta be more specific",

Pretty cool right?

PS: Sorry for all the writing :P

I've honestly grown tired of superheros. The market is over saturated as is. 

I give the Daredevil series a high score but that's about as far as I go anymore.

I thought I was going to tire of all the over saturation as well, but yet I find myself excited that Agents of SHIELD is returning for series three tonight.

Why would Whedon be the one blocking the references to his brother's show, the one that he wanted to run but they made him run Phase 2 instead? From what I understand the real issue is kind of like Star Trek's: the movies and shows are run by different companies/divisions, and they don't play too nicely together.

He was very vocal about the fact that he hated that they revived Coulson and publicly stated that Coulson would never be mentioned or brought up again in one his films. 

The latest statements from both camps(TV & Film) have stated that now its just a matter of timing.

I forgot about that. That's really weird. You'd think he'd have more input over the family show.
