They could've just called her "Spider-Woman" and saved everyone and themselves all the trouble.

I've noticed in recent years when the "not forced" and "natural/organic" buzzwords are used when women take charge in a media project, especially a Marvel one, it never feels that way. Keeping my expectations way low for this one.

I was intentionally excluding Inferno and Kamala because they're not iconic Secret Warriors. Kamala's on too many teams to count and Inferno is on his first stint. Quake is the only classic Secret Warrior on this team. I apologize if I was not clear.

Yeah that's what I've heard too. Apparently Eli, Isaiah, and everyone and everything related to them is off-limits for Marvel to use. I don't know how or why rights issues could come up (perhaps it's something similar to the infamous issues that plagued Archie Comics' long run of Sonic the...

None of this means anything if the writing isn't up to par. Marvel animated productions since 2012 have run the gamut from mediocre (the current Spidey, Guardians) to bad (better USM episodes, Where Monsters Dwell), or just awful (Agents of SMASH, worse USM episodes, Avengers Assemble in...

This pretty much killed any slim chance this show might have had at making it Stateside. Disney isn't gonna touch this aspect of Ms. Marvel's origin with a ten foot pole. It is annoying they won't even let it stream legally, especially since it looks a step above Disk Wars.

For the last few years, it has been my pleasure making this talkback threads for Naruto Shippuden. Unfortunately my busy-ness has become such that even taking the few minutes to make these have become more difficult than its worth. So with this episode, I will be taking my leave from making...

This episode adapts a chapter that to this day remains controversial among the Naruto fandom. I for one think that Kishimoto had good reasons for doing what he did here, but I also do think those who disagree with it have a point. At the same time, in a weekly manga, it is all too easy to write...

LEARN THE ORIGIN OF PAIN. PAIN IS LIFE. PAIN IS ETERNITY PAIN IS WORKING RETAIL EVERY SINGLE DAY OF YOUR LIFE WITHOUT ANY RELIEF OR RELAXATION AND IF YOU MISS ONE DAY YOU CAN'T PAY THE BILLS Life sucks and then you die what can I say. Official Naruto: Shippuden Talkback Thread Opening 7...

Tonight, Naruto gets to meet Konan and Nagato as they truly are, and not as the enemies who have made his life a living hell for so many episodes. Official Naruto: Shippuden Talkback Thread Opening 7: "Tōmei Datta Sekai" by Motohiro Hata Ending 14: "Transient Fireworks" by Supercell You...

To be honest, nothing. If they use the "Ultimate" moniker in the current context while Peter lacks one, it just makes him sound superior to Peter, and that attaches an egoism that runs contrary to Miles' personality.

I've noticed this trend and it's frankly disappointing that current gag/comedy cartoons are playing the longer game better (or at least making more of an effort) than modern superhero cartoons. I had no trouble paying attention to longer, ongoing plots when I was a kid, and I don't think modern...

The second half of this questionably timed and themed filler mini-arc continues and concludes tonight. Official Naruto: Shippuden Talkback Thread Opening 7: "Tōmei Datta Sekai" by Motohiro Hata Ending 14: "Transient Fireworks" by Supercell You can find some of the OPs and EDs on the...

They're really rushing through things, aren't they? Peter gets the Black Suit before all other Peters do, Miles gets empowered before the 10th episode, thus turning the title of "Spider-Man" obsolete before we're even through the first half of the season. It's clear they don't want Peter to be...

Sorry about this being late again. There's a reason why I'm giving these up after episode 175, and my life isn't going to get less chaotic. Anyway, we're flashing back to right before the Chuunin Exams for a quick two-part filler arc that tries to expand on the Fourth Hokage's legacy and what...
