But those rarely bust the box office. R-rated marvel movies always would have been able to make as much as your average R rated horror movie. Deadpool and wolverine DOMINATED the box office. It's actually part of a wider trend with things like the first Joker, Oppenheimer, etc- R-rated movies are starting to be able to become box office hits that rival PG-13 heavy hitters. As for thunderbolts specifically, while again I know the movie is PG-13, I highly doubt this is going to be the movie that introduces the next big bad. I also highly doubt that Deadpool and Wolverine will be left out of secret wars. I'm not saying something like "the marvel movies should all be rated R", I'm saying we're starting to see that R-rated marvel movies can make serious money, which means it's much more likely that we'll get more of them.

A rap sheet is slang for a document listing someone's crimes, used in police stations. There's no formal groups to accept you into, it's all just jokes from the forum. The DC rumors and discussion thread is where we're all making the jokes from. Yes he is, as is Novabricks. They don't have cells but are in the render walking into the building. Yeah exactly counting turtle is cheating he's not a mere forum member he's the physical embodiment of the alsume. I agree, that's one of the reasons he got the coveted Tower of Fate as his cell minibuild.

Look man I gave you Kallus and Dr. Who already I was running out of aspects. Britain is a big part of the aslume lore, you're one of the main proponents of it, I made a judgement call. Yup, that's fair, I agree it's the best post and he deserves a spot. Alright we've moved from a prison van GWP to a new wing of the prison with the following members: PGBQW, thephantasm, Iloveseatron, thebatstan, max_lego, and calebcold. "What are my crimes" as if you weren't the one who leaked the Seatron prototypes. C'mon, man. (This is also a joke, but it will be on your "rap sheet" in the joke set)

Let TheLegoBatman express his love in peace, nobody's disputing she's a villain (except him of course but love has blinded us all) There have been Andor S2 trailers shown at conventions for over a year, I believe. Though with a release date in April one HAS to be coming soon, right? Unfortunately the most likely scenario is lego just hits us with Plo and his astromech. After Yoda's starfighter I trust no one. I'd have to guess there's more secrecy around the licensed themes. And hey, a lot of people like those themes! It's just that their target audiences tend not to be the ones scouring the internet for leaks.

"A small price to pay for M-tron." Not that lego should bring them back in the same way, and obviously that's a horrible and tragic thing, but TBH, who eats a magnet, waits for a bit, and then goes "man that sucked time for another"? (Or more realistically, what parents are letting their kid sit there eating multiple magnets with a time gap in between) Same. When I was 7 or 8 I tried to get two apart with my teeth and a 2x2 round boat stud went flying down my esophagus. Like the next wave Brick Seperators returned I felt like a prophet. I still can't believe Luigi's pizza was an actual canon thing, even in as small of a capacity as it was. See this fits with my idea that some of the stranger aspects of Turtle came from a language barrier or other potential reasons wherein he didn't fully know what things he was sending meant. That final thing HAD to be him just looking up "funny turtle love images" or something and not knowing what the caption meant. The obvious climax is we all spend our life's savings to fly to denmark, break into the lego house, and attempt to get arrested in such a way that we're somehow in prision IN the lego house.

This illustrates my main issue with what if, which is just that there's a lot of focus on characters I just don't care about in a what-if situation- Kahhori is an OC, Captain Carter was a neat idea for one episode but she's being heavily overused, Birdie's another OC, (Goddess of Thunder Storm works she's an exception), Shang and Kate I just want to see the NORMAL versions of again, and Ironheart's someone I just don't care about. If her show's good that could change, but this comes out before her show. I probably would pick up a Red Guardian figure to use as a normal one, but as for the show he's not a character I want to see alternative versions of. This show was the perfect opportunity to give us more of the infinity saga main players without undoing their sacrifices or giving us functionally identical variants, and they really didn't use them nearly as much as they could have- the OG six rarely show up in a significant capacity, and when they do they're often not very different (Party thor, age of ultron widow) While I agree it likely won't be R-rated, I think Deadpool and Wolverine shows that it is possible for marvel to bust the box office with an R-rated movie. Obviously thunderbolts doesn't have the name recognition of DP&W, but I think after it did so well they'll be open to more r-rated projects.

Oh, I'm joking about the going insane. Others have given specific pages- though to be honest a lot of it really just didn't have context and was us just being nuts. I think they'd get on well. Both green, both like batman, though Turtle might take offense at Riddler's enjoyment of Superman. I'll do my best- I have nothing planned at the moment, but I'll likely expand in the future. Glad you like it, I'm sure all of us have some people who would enjoy letting us sit in a cell for a bit to wear out some fandom chatter. Ah man IIRC you just had like the captain carter shield because Britain. (Did I miss any user wedding guests? I thought I got them all) If my computer behaves I'll try to get renders of the cells out, as well as a prison van GWP with some missing inmates and our new Seatron friend. 1. Yeah I just couldn't find anything on you, I was even like going back and reading your comments and they're all just too reasonable. 2. That was a joke about your avatar being an all-black spaceman 4. This will be fixed in the future 5. thanks! Thanks! So turtle is the (animated series, not TPM) Maul to your Palpatine. He will be included in any potential expansions for sure. Thank you! I wish we could (I mean, if I removed some of the branding, I guess we literally could- though you and nostalgia's figures would have to become different- it just wouldn't win) One of us escaped already, they'll never stop us once Absolute Batman escapes! Clone-O-Patras. His profile picture's clones look like noblemen or councilmen to me, so I gave him some armored up guys as guards based on the armor one of his profile picture characters is wearing. Thanks! Though aside from the CloneOpatras any SW aesthetic is completely just from me being a creature of SW habit, and not intentional. Shh... don't let the mods know! AGH! I kept scrolling through trying to make sure I didn't leave anybody out- Nova and Murdoch snuck in as recently picked-up inmates- but I knew I was going to forget someone. They'll be in the prison van GWP (Funny that I've gone from "I don't have future plans for this" to a specific GWP in mind). Turtle's already made it out. Perhaps a future expansion will include TheRiddlerDC in his cell. Oh man it's worse than that this is all just ingrained into my head, I looked through a couple people's posts to make rap sheets for them but pretty much everything else was just living rent-free in my head. Am I stupid?

Ah- the 13th @ is the moderator of the thread, who's profile picture is of the characters I made the wardens. The 13th and 14th inmates aren't users but batman variants and as such don't have @s, they're listed between the 12th and 13th @s You're welcome to join us over there, but I do not reccomend trying to read through it. It may actually drive you insane.

1) he's actually going to be brought in where Turtle's cell was 2) look man I didn't want to snitch I just listed what they already got you on. Dude you should've seen the render of your individual cell, almost every availible stud was covered by a dunny microfigure. The twelve who are called out with the @s are eurobricks members, as well as the two gentlemen being escorted in. The two large cells are batman varients that are community memes- Absolute Batman being drawn like an absolute brick, and the iconic Man meme from the arkham games' fans. I've got 14 listed- the 12 members, Absolute Batman, and Man. You might have missed Man as he's just got a little blurb. Thanks - especially for writing your rap sheet, I couldn't find anything on you.

GUYS! I found this leaked image of the Arkham set! "ANAKIN! Let her go!" 1984 from a toy stat sheet, 2007 from everyone's favorite face-ripper, or 2021 from my boy Wheeljack, depending on which continuity he enjoys.

This was originally going to be a CMF series set of 12 Aslume members, but as the Arkham thing becomes more and more legitimate I thought it would be funny to make it an actual set, and add two non-member inmates as well as our faithful wardens. (Something's up with my computer, so I was only able to get one render out before everything started crashing. I might try to add more later.) Inmates: @CloneCommando99: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: identity theft, High Priest of the Church of Mara Jade, former member of the Black Lanterns - Clone Commando attempted to steal a turtle's identity during the Battle for the Shell and later joined Nekron's forces in the Brickest Night. Comes with a Lantern Ring and blaster rifle construct. (Individual Cell render had a fridge) @Agent Kallus: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: timeline violations - Agent Alexsandur Kallus was arrested after crossing into the DC universe by means of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, endangering the space-time continuum. Comes with a sonic screwdriver. (Individual Cell render had captain carter's shield, as it's a printed part with a british flag) @Renny The Spaceman: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: criminal trespassing, theft of classified material, Dummy Disciple - Renny's tireless pursuit of all things Dummy has led him to steal classified documents from lego HQ in an attempt to prove the Dummy's design was shown to the cmf designer in a prophetic vision. Comes with a Dummy figure. (Cell had a dummy shrine and 10 other dummy figures) @legoturtle: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: The Turtle is a semi-mythical figure theorized to be the physical embodiment of the Aslume. Arrested and set for execution due to his role in the attempted extrajudicial killing of Kevin Feige, the turtle appears to have escaped just before his execution date. Comes with a Pizza and Brickheadz Joker. (Cell had a microscale shadow box) @ARC2149Nova: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: rebellion, soldier of the New Republic, former member of the Black Lanterns, Nova was arrested for his role in the Brickest Night event. Comes with a blaster. (Cell had a black skeleton) @Mandalorianknight: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: felony theft, tax evasion, rebellion, member of the Church of Mara Jade, garbage - Architect of the physical cells comprising the Aslume, Mando was arrested for stealing all the Mara Jade minifigures intended to be released by lego as part of the 25th anniversary subline. He currently pleads temporary insanity due to having been possessed by Khonshu at the time. Comes with a hardlight spear and shield. (Cell had a wall poster with the autobot emblem) @RedHoodPug: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: forbidden knowledge: Redhoodpug was arrested for simply knowing too much about DC lore, a clear violation of lego's "batman and joker only" policy. Comes with two guns. (Pug actually gets a custom print because I made one for Red Hood back in a DC wishlist wave) (Cell had a tower of fate microbuild) @psqidexslizer : Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: general roguery - a known associate of the rogues, slizer has been complicit in their numerous crimes and battles with the flash. Comes with a boomerang. (cell came with a flame, popsicle stick, and trickster card) @BrickBob Studpants: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: attempted murder, practicing sith arts - A known sith, Brickbob is charged with the attempted murder of turtle, rumored to be his sith master, as part of an ancient sith tradition known as the rule of two. Comes with a Sith Lightsaber. (Cell came with jedi robes sized for spongebob) @THELEGOBATMAN: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: Stalking, attempted murder, identity theft - An alternative universe Batman who attempted to steal superman's identity, Thelegobatman was brought in after stalking and attempting to kill Syril Karn in a bid to win the love of Dedra Meero. Comes with an imperial logo. (Cell came with graffiti stating "T", a 1x1 with the heart symbol, then "D" for "Thelegobatman loves Dedra Meero") @Swordy: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: Heresy against the Aslume - Enigmatic spaceman Swordy is currently serving a light sentence for referring to a potential Aslume lego set as "boring". (Sorry man I couldn't think of any more serious crimes). Comes with a sword. (Cell came with a blacktron symbol on the wall) @Lego Nostalgia: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: terrorism - Nostalgia was arrested over calling in a shadow box threat against the marvel theme, wishing upon them a fate worse than cancellation- having their next modular be a shadow box. Comes with a cup of unknown liquid. (Cell came with a lego deadpool suit) Absolute Batman: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: attempted murder (x40), vehiclular manslaughter: Absolute Batman was brought in after killing half his rogue's gallery by throwing bricks at them and going on a rampage in his dump truck. Ab-bat wouldn't come quietly, so he was simply told the joker and a pile of bricks were in his cell before the door was locked behind him. (Cell came with bricks) Man: Crimes/gang affiliations/etc: "You... you are..." "Yeah. I'm man". Comes with two manarangs. (Cell was empty) Wardens: @Clone OPatra: Clones created from the genetic material of Jango Fett and Mark Antony, the Clone OPatra units guard the aslume. In the central segment of the ground floor of the aslume, the leadership, known as the Moderation Team, looks over papers while units bring in two more inmates, as more units are generated in through a portal.

We've had marvel sets that played things close to the chest before- not that it was neccesarily for spoiler reasons, but guardians 3 and the marvels didn't even include the main villain, much less say much about the plot. You could easily make a couple sets for this just off the trailers: Lab Battle ($24.99): Laboratory build with some explode features and whatnot. Comes with Yelena, Ghost, John Walker, and Taskmaster. Red Guardian Chase ($69.99): Red Guardian's limo, a humvee, and Bucky's motorcycle. Comes with Red Guardian, Bucky, John Walker, Ghost, and 2x soldier. That would be a licensing nightmare, I imagine. Sure, the companies are already in contact, but how do you determine what cut fortnite gets and what cut marvel gets? I think this would be difficult enough in even a normal set, but in a blind bag CMF where only some of them are marvel, it'd be near-impossible. (And if all of them were marvel, there'd be no reason for fortnite to be involved at all)

Have we ever confirmed that the Dummy is driven by willpower, as opposed to hope, rage, fear/inspiring fear, compassion/lack of compassion, love, life, or death? Actually, if I remember right there's like a grey ring of Apathy now, which I could see working.

100%. I'd rather take an Arkham with 12 inmates in suits than 4 villains in costumes.

This is the smart move to maximize characters. DC might not get as many sets as marvel but if half the figures reuse the same torso and/or legs, you could easily hit 20+ unique characters.

Spider-man, Superman, Optimus Prime, etc are all heavily connected with America. (Obviously Captain America too, but that one's too obvious to even explain) Superman's whole thing is Truth, Justice, and the American way! It doesn't matter so much what the nationality of the person playing the character is, the characters are American icons. We aren't an old enough country to have mythology in the greek sense, but arguably superheroes are an American mythology. Ah- thanks for letting me know

Oscorp. The bugle's retiring, new spider-man characters are being seeded in, etc. While this is absolutely true, assumably lego had SOME faith in it, and that's still two big superhero playset D2Cs in one year. I think Marvel could have a modular so long as it's not too similar to Arkham (especially assuming that Arkham itself probably wouldn't literally be a modular)

I've been saying this since the latter was first rumored! I think it's entirely likely someone's source told them about a "blue mandalorian helmet" and conclusions were drawn. Though I'm not sure about a 2-in-1 - they don't really share any colors in common. Lego has made Jango just normal blue, but they also changed Bo to azure recently. But even if they did the same shade of blue for both, Jango's helmet is really mostly silver whereas Bo's is mostly blue, and she has white as a secondary, not silver. I'd be down for that. Honestly given that it'd be probably like $60 minimum, I can understand it. I don't know how many people would want the speeders- especially kids- I know when I was a kid I mainly wanted the combat vehicles. And Anakin's speeder doesn't have the level of sheer recognizability that Luke's landspeeder does, so combined with the fact that the two-pack would put them at a higher price point and the only desirable/hard to get character there would be Zam- popular with AFOLs but not someone who I think could save a set from doing poorly- I can understand why lego nixed it.

To be fair we got the Shadow Box and Avengers Tower in the same year.

Very excited. 10 figs is fine with me if they've mostly got their villain suits on. If most of the villains use arkham outfits, I'm going to want much higher numbers of figs. Unlike most of the superhero D2Cs there's a lot of potential for re-used prints here between Arkham staff (1x print for doctor torso, 1-2 prints for guard torsos and possibly legs, 2 prints for male and female villains, and bam, you can get a TON of characters with reused heads for arkham staff and only one unique print each for the villains), so if it is 10 figs and half of them are villains in arkham suits, it's a massive miss from lego. Pyg and Zsasz might be a little dark for lego (Although it'd be super easy to throw a unique head print on an unnamed inmate for Zsasz so that might happen) This is all the proof I need that Turtle was your sith master. Your list is clearly unrealistic- only 2 mad hatters? C'mon, man, those are rookie numbers. On Tuesdays I am turtle 2.0. You can have the title the rest of the week though. No kidding. I had so much hope after that first trailer, but that was not a successful show and definitely wouldn't have been a new BTAS-level popularity surge for kids. Unfortunately I think my profile picture's just going to turn out to be Djin Djaren as a transformer, which annoys me because they were on a hotstreak of unique autobot crossover figures (Autobot Gigawatt as the Delorean, Agent Knight as K.I.T.T., and Party Wallop as the Turtle Van off the top of my head) and then when they get to a franchise that could have had a really sick "cybertronian follows the Way of the Mandalore" character, they went "nah it's notorious droid racist Djin Djarren as essentially a living droid". "Communist Brit detected on American soil. Lethal force engaged" - Liberty Prime, Fallout 3. We'll send your mouse back in a bag containing the dust he was comprised of.

In this case, I'm trusting Brick Reporter. Might not be some random intern, but it's still a suit somewhere. I think there's a pretty high chance that they asked lego to make a superman set, they did, and they didn't see fit to enforce it as specifically a superman movie set. I'll do you one better- At least two other characters will be from the DC comics franchise.

My guy why would you buy a $55 set with 5 minifigures and hope the generic trooper is the one that stays exclusive? Everything else aside, there are four other figures in that set who are more likely to stay exclusive. Poe's X-wing brought me back into lego star wars. I would be estatic if we got a remake.

Source? I have seen men and/or spiders in most movies. We've come full circle and yet I still laugh as derangedly as if it was the first time. You do a lot of good real life customs, is there a physical lego Man in the works? Again you are relying on some DC marketing guy being able to distinguish lego minifigures of comic and film superman. This is an undisputed and massive win for society. Arkham's actually a genius move figure/print budget wise too. With just two new torsos and one new leg print (if they even do that lol), you can make a ton of new figures with the only exclusive prints being heads and hair. Hopefully a few villains will be costumed up attempting to break their friends out of the aslume, or maybe we get some bat-family members stopping the breakout.

Did you try the medicine drug? (If you were actually confused I was just referencing Dr. Who resurfacing in the thread and Turtle's propensity to misunderstand bits of our jokes) Didn't you hear me say I had Morbius? He's worth at least two nesquick bunnies. That would be hilarious, but I think it's most likely that this is a completely new person with no relation to turtle. ; ) I definitely am NOT saying that while Commando's come closest to emulating his style, Turtle's brand of writing has never been fully replicated, implying riddler is truly him. Arise... Optimus Prime

That's very cool but I think you may have misread my post. I want a Wolverized Venomarine. That's fair. As others have said there's plenty of room for X men sets. I think for it to do well as a full on subtheme and not just a few sets, though, we'll need MCU movies for X-men. I know a lot of people liked '97 but it didn't have the popularity with children the 90s one had, partially because children's cartoons as a whole now longer have the power they used to.
