  1. I think it varies with characterization. An example is Zendaya's character. She's shown to be very woke and conscientious, like refusing to see the Washington Monument since it was constructed by slaves. I find it hard to believe that her character would be so accepting of Peter's mentor being Tony Stark, when he has such a spotty record of human rights violations. Gen Z, who Zendaya is supposed to embody, would not support him as a hero. But her character is also so inconsistently written and undeveloped even after 4 movies. She just exists to be Peter's love interest and nothing else. She's had more movies than both Kirsten Dunst's MJ and Emma Stone's Gwen but they were both much more fully formed characters and had lives independent of Peter. My guess is with Black Widow and Hawkeye, most of their records would be cleaned up and not available for public consumption, especially while SHIELD was in charge. Iron Man and Hulk would have the most controversial reputations and Iron Man, being a witty, attractive billionaire, would have enough positive PR and media attention to scrub his image clean after his redemption. I don't remember when Hulk's Bruce Banner identity became public in the MCU. Armor Wars was supposed to be a Disney+ show featuring War Machine and Vision. Eventually they scrapped that and kept Vision around for his own show, the upcoming VisionQuest. I'm not a War Machine fan, and like Falcon, I think he suffers from being nothing more than a sidekick so I agree that I don't think he'd be able to carry his own show. I think the original casting, with Terrence Howard, was much stronger and Terrence could have carried his own project. But that ironically is what killed his time with the MCU since he demanded more payment for the sequel since he was a much bigger name than Don Cheadle was. I also agree that Anthony Mackie has been given a lot of opportunities, including Doomsday, where he's still primed as one of the leads. I think a case can be made that he was sabotaged from the beginning to never be able to make it, especially after the long gap between BNW and Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Him becoming Captain America should have been saved for the silver screen rather than a Disney+ show, particularly in an Avengers movie to see if he could carry his own movie afterwards. But I definitely agree that he's been afforded more chances than Brie Larson, who Marvel seems to have just cut out completely. The people saying Monica has been unfairly sidelined are also saying Carol and Kamala have been treated similarly. In fact, one could argue that out of those three, Monica was primed to have the most importance due to her being the bridge to the Foxverse. I've also heard rumors that she was supposed to have her own Disney+ show after The Marvels, set during her time in the Foxverse, but it was cancelled after the failure of The Marvels. I can see that being true since WandaVision was successful enough that they thought they could make multiple spinoff shows based on the supporting cast. That worked for Agatha All Along, one of their highest watched shows, but Agatha was also a breakout character. I don't recall Monica ever being a breakout character and I think they needed to build her up more before making her a lead in The Marvels. I'll take your word for it since I haven't seen Wonder Man, and tbh, I barely saw it promoted so I only really heard about it after it was cancelled and when there was social media backlash. I think part of the reason there was so much backlash was because it got award nominations and was confirmed for S2 a while back. Most Disney+ shows, as you said, don't get multiple seasons so this one did get one confirmed before Disney backtracked. And from what I've also heard, this was a Disney decision and not a Feige decision. Someone involved with the show said Feige did want a S2 and had planned for one but he was overruled by Disney as Disney seems to be cracking down on limiting Disney+ shows. Wonder Man did come across as an odd character to spotlight, especially so close to Doomsday, since he's clearly not involved in the movies and we already have a full roster of Disney+ show characters who won't be in the movies and we don't really need another. Most of the characters he's heavily connected to in the comics are ones he has nothing to do with in the MCU, like Vision, Scarlet Witch and Beast. I think this show was maybe less about connecting to the MCU and more about critical acclaim and award recognition, hence the premise of an ordinary "superhero" who lives a public life that happens to take place in the MCU. Maybe, but Lego does seem to have very strict rules on what they can or cannot adapt. Like I'm convinced at this point they won't adapt The Hand since there was no reason to exclude them from BND sets, especially based on how heavily involved they were in marketing. Anything remotely connected to Daredevil seems off-limits now. Ronin, between his MCU actions, plus originating in the comics as Echo, a Daredevil character, and being a ninja character like The Hand, might have crossed too many gray lines to be considered viable as a figure. But you're also right that there's no real set possibility that could have featured him. However, I do think if Lego really wanted to make Ronin, they'd have just thrown him in one of those Endgame final battle sets. They've shown they're willing to stray from movie canon when they want to, like how many Thor minifigures don't match his looks from specific movies. Another example being the Raimi Spider-Man 2 set which threw in J. Jonah Jameson and Aunt May, both of whom weren't in the train scene.
  2. Infinity War and Endgame were both shot back to back. I remember Brie Larson filmed all her scenes for Endgame before she ever filmed for Captain Marvel. The Russos said they left her a bit of a blank slate in Endgame because she didn't have a set personality yet since her movie was still in production, and they didn't want to influence how she was portrayed there. So I find it interesting that we went from IW/Endgame being shot back to back to now where Doomsday is still getting reshoots and Secret Wars hasn't even been filmed yet or not completed anyway. And Alan Cumming also confirmed that Doomsday had no set script. Everyday, they'd come on set and be given new directions and a new script and it was constantly in flux and changing. The amount of "sources" I'm seeing that Cillian Murphy is the real Doom and we'll see him in Secret Wars is laughable. Even if that was the case, there's no way they could hide that another actor has been on set all this time. And if he's so isolated that he filmed all his scenes solo, that would just show how little integrated he is in the movie. Right now people are also scrutinizing the eyes behind the various Doom masks and how the good Doom mask has different eyes and how that must be RDJ while the evil mask is someone else. I think that's the best explanation. The only time the Avengers get a bit of backlash is in the beginning of Civil War, since that's necessary for the plot. The aftermath of Sokovia with Ultron and then the Crossbones attack which gets blamed on the Avengers. After that, we steamroll over into IW/Endgame and the Avengers basically don't exist after that, outside of ex-Avengers like Hawkeye and Hulk who are still treated as beloved celebrities.
  3. I would agree with you but we see the reputation of the Avengers in the MCU and the public seems to adore them. Like all the fans Hawkeye has in his show from being an Avenger. And even in BND, we see how popular Hulk is with his students and he's easily the most volatile of the Avengers. I don't remember how much the public is aware of the checkered pasts of Black Widow and Hawkeye, but Hulk's various rampages have always been publicly recorded so he would probably be the most infamous member of the team, but that doesn't seem to make his students afraid of him. Iron Man being a weapons manufacturer is also something that doesn't come up much after the original movie. The only time it seems to come up is with Wanda's past and how he was responsible for so much damage to Sokovia. Otherwise, we see how popular Iron Man is in the MCU with the public populace, children, and Peter. The reason the Thunderbolts/New Avengers work is because they have the exact opposite public image of the original Avengers who were seen as more clean-cut heroes. And Sam's Avengers are supposed to be considered the legitimate team since they follow in the footsteps of Steve's Avengers. My headcanon would be that Ronin was e something from Hawkeye's past as an assassin before working for SHIELD. In the comics, Echo was Ronin and joined the New Avengers. When Clint comes back from the dead, he doesn't feel emotionally ready to be Hawkeye again so he takes on the Ronin mantle from Echo. But Hawkeye also took on a lot of different mantles in the comics, like a brief period he was Goliath and used Pym Particles to basically be Giant-Man. I think that shows how corrupt most of these governments are and it's a reflection of real-life governments and how most of them compete against each other in underhanded ways, including recruiting foreign talents to use as spies or assassins. And how many organizations and paramilitary groups are funded by countries in power to destabilize weaker ones for political gain. As you said, SHIELD turned out to be corrupt so it makes sense that they'd recruit assassins. In the comics, Hawkeye was literally just a circus criminal who fell in love with Black Widow, a Soviet spy, and they'd fight Iron Man before both quickly reformed. A lot of those early Iron Man comics were heavily themed around the Cold War in the 60s-70s. From what I remember, AoU had a major controversy over Black Widow saying she was a monster, with people thinking this meant that her inability to have children, from being sterilized, implied women who can't be mothers are monsters. And I think the actual point was that Natasha thinking she was a monster wasn't because she was sterilized but because of her time in the Red Room and being trained as a killer since being a child. The sterilization was just part of the training but that itself wasn't why she called herself a monster, however the movie was vague enough that it was misinterpreted. But maybe that's me giving the movie's writing the benefit of the doubt lol, since I do remember there was a huge uproar over that line. By AoU, SHIELD has already been exposed as taken over by HYDRA so I feel at that point, Natasha would know that a lot of the people she must have killed for SHIELD were probably good people who were a threat to HYDRA. Same with Clint. That their work for SHIELD probably wasn't very innocent either. I don't know when Black Widow's movie was put into production so I'm curious if they already had an idea for her backstory and family while writing Endgame, or if the movie wasn't greenlighted until after Endgame came out. I don't remember the timeline now. I read Gamora was actually supposed to die in GOTG2. James Gunn found out about the Infinity War storyline and then decided it would work better to kill her off there. It does seem like female characters are more prone to being killed off (Black Widow, Gamora, Wanda) compared to the male ones (Quicksilver, Iron Man, and quite frankly, with RDJ coming back, I find it hard to believe they won't bring Iron Man back either. Even if it's just for a single movie). I mentioned earlier that it's shocking in Doomsday's cast of 26-27 actors, that only 6 of them are female. And I recently saw a Doomsday T-shirt with all the X-Men characters but instead of Mystique, they had Thor randomly there instead. It reminds me of the early-mid 2010s, when Marvel got a lot of flack for excluding Black Widow and Gamora on their merch. Wonder Man's cancellation has also been very controversial. A lot of fans think Disney/Marvel keeps cancelling or undercutting the black actor productions. How the War Machine Disney+ spinoff show was cancelled. How Mahershala Ali's Blade was basically delayed and delayed for almost a decade before being unceremoniously cancelled, while Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider was immediately greenlighted. How Monica is being cut out of Doomsday, despite being in the Foxverse at the end of The Marvels. How Ironheart wasn't promoted. How Sam's Captain America was set up to fail. I do agree that there's a pattern that women and minorities don't get the same multiple opportunities that the white male actors usually get. I never watched Wonder Man so I can't comment on it. Didn't know Trevor was in it but that makes sense, considering Wonder Man is an actor. I feel like Endgame must be the movie Lego has made the most sets of and revisits most often. Which I think is why it's more jarring we don't have a Ronin minifigure. He's been highly requested and has a pretty unique look. It looks like Lego Marvel avoids anything ninja-related between the omission of Ronin and The Hand in BND sets. I don't think Lego will be blacklisting Hawkeye because of Jeremy Renner's latest controversy. I'm sure we'll continue to see minifigs of him from sets of previous movies because if they wanted to blacklist him, they would have done it ages ago. That's fair, but I also think it's important to note that Wanda does eventually let the town go especially after her confrontation with Monica, hence why Monica forgives her. And when Clint was talked down, it was by Natasha who was the person closest to him besides his family and basically family to him anyway. In Wanda's case, she has no one that close to her since all her family were dead or they'd cease to exist once she gave up her spell. She has no real relationship with Monica or anyone else there. If she had a Pietro or a Vision who was actually alive to confront her earlier, I'm sure she would have listened to reason. Similarly, if someone outside of Natasha had confronted Clint over being Ronin, I don't know if he'd respond the same way. And another important factor is that Natasha comes to recruit Clint for the purpose of fixing the snap and essentially saving his family. He knows he can step away from what he's doing because he can get his old life back, so it's the perfect scenario for him. In Wanda's case, she's being asked to step away to give up her family, so it's the worst-case scenario for her. Clint has everything to gain and Wanda has everything to lose. It makes sense why Clint can give up that life while Wanda can't do so instantly, even though she does eventually.
  4. I always assumed the Ned thing was just a gag, but knowing Marvel, they would really make it into a real thing. Like making him Hobgoblin and go bad like NWH jokes about. Generally speaking comic Avengers don't kill, although maybe that's changed in the modern comics. In the 60s, when the Avengers debuted, they would never be able to depict a hero killing someone. They had a strict comic code, much like the Hayes Code that ruled Hollywood from the 1930s-60s. And decades later, Marvel said that Hulk has never killed anyone, despite all his rampages throughout his existence. It was the way of keeping his reputation spotless and clean as a hero. I think maybe they did establish he's killed in some of his rampages to justify Planet Hulk and sending him out into space, but I don't remember clearly. But this came to mind since a certain spoiler character in BND was being criticized here and called a mass murderer, whereas the director just clarified that said spoiler character never killed anyone. Which the movie narrative also established through Peter's dialogue but since some people couldn't accept that, the director had to reiterate that this is true. I've only seen Chris Hemsworth in some comedies. I'll say he's decent in comedy especially when he plays himbos since self-deprecating humor seems to suit him. But you can tell that most of his appeal in Hollywood comes from his looks, which is generally true for a high percentage of actors and actresses. I do like Brie Larson as an actress and I think she gives Carol her all, it's just Carol is pretty badly written imo. Marvel seemed to think if they just introduced a female superhero and made her powerful, that would be enough for her to get popular. But she needed more depth than just being the most powerful Avenger and they never seemed to know what to do with her, especially in terms of personality. I feel like they didn't try with her since they felt her existence as a powerful superheroine would be enough. With Wanda, you can tell they weren't expecting her to be a breakout character, since they were so busy pushing Carol as their female face of the company, and that probably worked to Wanda's benefit since they weren't as carefully curating her character, which is how we got WandaVision. She was allowed to have depth and be a messy character and that's why she resonated whereas Carol wasn't ever allowed to feel like a real human being. For Benedict Cumberbatch, he was unlucky in the sense that he has to play second fiddle to Spider-Man in NWH, since he can't beat Spider-Man in a Spider-Man movie, and then he more or less had to play second fiddle to Wanda in his own movie. I do think he was able to mesh well with the more juvenile tone of NWH, especially since this was after he was demoted from Sorcerer Supreme so that already undercut some of his authority. Definitely agree on Simu Liu and Anthony Mackie. As many have said repeatedly on here, Shang-Chi was a movie where all the supporting characters are infinitely more interesting than the actual lead. And I'm inclined to agree with Chinese audiences that Simu lacks leading man looks and isn't conventionally attractive. They were much harsher than what I'm saying but Asian cultures have very high beauty standards, especially when it comes to actors. Simu definitely would not have an acting career in China. Anthony Mackie was always a supporting character actor. When he was cast as Falcon, I doubt Marvel had in mind that one day they'd have him as the face of the franchise and the new Captain America. I think the comics had already done that before Falcon debuted in the MCU, but I don't think they realized the MCU would get big enough to a point where the lead actors would leave and Marvel would have to continue on with the next generation of heroes. If they want to keep Sam as Falcon after Secret Wars, I wonder if they might consider using that soft reboot as an excuse to recast with a younger actor with more leading man energy. To this day I've never watched BNW. Falcon and the Winter Soldier was a chore enough. I just hope they don't promote his Falcon sidekick to a lead role anytime soon.
  5. He's been lucky that despite being in high-profile projects, like the MCU, he's never been that popular a name to get enough media attention for his various scandals. He must be quite protected in Hollywood considering how long he's lasted, whereas Jonathan Majors, who was Hollywood's golden boy for a very brief period, had just one high-profile allegation and his entire career ended over that. But I remember reading that a lot of people who knew Jonathan Majors as he was starting out said he had a history of abuse and arrogance and how, if he had been vetted earlier, he would never have gotten a chance in Hollywood. I'm seeing online theories now that RDJ isn't the real Doom and there's another actor who will be the real Doom as part of the twist and he'll actually be European or at least capable of giving a European-sounding accent. So I think people are already trying to cope through these theories lol.
  6. The thing is the Avengers have always had a very clean public image, like the Fantastic Four, especially as a government-sponsored team. They weren't a vigilante team of superheroes like the X-Men or even the Thunderbolts. You compared Ronin to Batman but Batman has a strict no killing policy (in most adaptations anyway). Even as a vigilante, he doesn't go around killing criminals like the Joker, who one could argue deserves to be put down for the greater good. Ronin was treated more like Punisher and we've seen that Punisher isn't even considered family friendly enough for Lego to adapt. For years, people have thought it was weird that we never got a Ronin minifigure in any Endgame set and it wouldn't surprise me if the reason Lego has stayed away from Clint's Ronin persona is entirely because of his hit count and Punisher comparisons. And tbh, I don't think Clint's motivations as Ronin were that focused on public safety or protection. It seemed like he had a lot of rage that he needed to vent out and targeting dangerous criminals that he deemed a threat was the most acceptable way of doing it, but who appointed him as judge, jury and executioner? And you bring up that he was an assassin before joining SHIELD and the Avengers, so that goes back to how he has red in his ledger, the way Black Widow did. So we know he's killed before and even relapsed and killed again after being an Avenger. The double standard is how female characters like Wanda or even Natasha (who I've noticed gets more flack about her criminal past than Clint) are vilified and treated as irredeemable, whereas Clint gets his happy ending and family back. In contrast, Natasha considers herself a monster (we never see Clint grapple with the blood on his hands from his past or during Endgame), and she's made to die. The narrative tells us that the female character has to pay for her sins through death, while the male character with the similar past does not. His life continues on with no consequences. And while Endgame told us that Natasha made the sacrifice because she was alone and Clint had a family, now we know that Natasha also had a family who suffered without her. The lack of a season 2 might have been a combo of things: Jeremy's injuries, various allegations from multiple women, and the fact that S1 was basically created to launch Kate Bishop for an eventual Young Avengers spinoff that doesn't seem like it's going to happen now. But a major factor I heard was payment. Jeremy wanted more money and due to high production costs and possibly soft viewership for S1, Disney didn't want to pay him what he wanted so the project was cancelled. As we saw with Wonder Man's cancellation, which was actually confirmed to get a S2, Disney is really lowering their Disney+ output since they realized how much all these shows are devaluing the brand. I agree, the movie doesn't paint him in a positive light for what he's doing. It's supposed to be a fall from grace, but it's notable that female characters like Natasha and Wanda have to be killed off for their respective redemptions unlike Clint who gets to have his family back. His ex-wife accused him of abuse some years back. I think his reputation wasn't too badly affected by that, at least in terms of his Hollywood career, but just recently his last ex-girlfriend, a Chinese filmmaker, also accused him of abuse and claimed he threatened to get ICE to deport her. So it seems to be a pattern with him. With the multiverse movies, you can tell they make the rules up as they go from movie to movie. And they really started that with Endgame, when they established that if you change the past, it doesn't affect the present/future and all you do is create a new branched timeline. Now that we have other universes, like the Foxverse and Raimiverse, it's even more confusing because the time travel rules in X-Men: DOFP are very different from that in Endgame. In DOFP, they specifically do go back in time and change the past to change the future. As for Wanda not knowing about the TVA, the MoM makers revealed that the movie was in production around the same time as WandaVision so they had no idea what was being done with her character there as they never saw it. Since Loki came out after WandaVision and would have been in production around the same time as MoM, it's safe to say they had no idea what Marvel was doing with the TVA in Loki. Hence why it doesn't impact MoM at all.
  7. I completely agree with you about this in terms of Thor. In the first few movies, they at least made some effort to make him feel like he's an alien god who's been around for thousands of years and distinct from mere mortals (as well as Chris Hemsworth had the ability to do anyway, since he's never been a great actor let alone a Shakespearean actor like Anthony Hopkins. He was clearly cast for his physicality). But by Ragnarok, they completely changed the tone of the character. From what I've heard, the comics have followed suit for synergy sake and current Thor is more or less a humorous fratboy. That regal element to him as an Asgardian royal is completely gone in both the comics and MCU. That just further shows that Marvel didn't even have faith in him to sustain his own solo show and had to clutter it up with different characters to keep it relevant, forget about a full-fledged film. Yelena got most of the hype from that show anyway. There's a reason she's been the most recurring character in Phases 4-6. I think another factor about why Jeremy has been absent, besides his injuries, is the fact that he's consistently been linked to scandals and violence against women. He's a repeat offender. If Jonathan Majors, who was being given the star treatment by Hollywood and all these major roles including the big bad of the MCU, got axed, there's no way Jeremy could sustain his MCU career after so many repeat offenses. Him being a family man is part of the issue of not matching up to the comics. Comic Clint was never a family man. He was a bachelor with a long string of ill-fated relationships. The acerbic personality and rivalry with Steve ended up going more to Tony in the MCU. His insecurities as an archer in a team comprised of space gods and super soldiers and actual superhumans was also never really touched upon. And he completely lacks a leadership position, whereas he headed multiple teams in the comics. There's a double standard with MCU Clint that's present as well, the way Wanda gets lambasted for lashing out and terrorizing people after losing her family. Yet, I've never heard Clint be held accountable by fans for actually going around and murdering people as Ronin in Endgame, because of his fury over losing his family. Funny how that seems to be a pattern. And this is also a huge departure from the comics where, when he was married to Mockingbird and she was assaulted and killed her would-be rapist, Clint was angry at her as he said that Avengers don't kill under any circumstances. And this more or less broke their short-lived marriage.
  8. lol I completely agree. RDJ's casting is a double-edged sword. It's the biggest draw they have for casual audiences but it can backfire easily. Audiences might not be able to accept him as another character outside of Tony and could feel cheated. It would be like if they brought Chris Evans back to play Johnny instead of Steve, only now with a funky accent. I'm imagining Infinity War now with Thanos having a bad Borat-like accent and if audiences would be able to take him seriously enough to even care. That can really break the realm of immersion.
  9. Hawkeye never had the popularity to sustain a movie. MCU Hawkeye that is. Comic Hawkeye has always been very popular and has a huge fanbase but the MCU Hawkeye has almost no personality or anything in common with his comic counterpart. I think his show's season 2 got cancelled as well. My guess is certain characters who are plot-centric due to their powers, like Monica and America Chavez, are probably in the movie but had their roles whittled down after fan backlash. And Marvel is purposefully not promoting them or confirming them to be in the main cast to avoid that fan backlash since they didn't take off as characters. With Carol Danvers, I feel like that's harder since she's a much bigger character that Marvel pushed for so long and is incredibly powerful. I think it's also telling that the Russos were flat out asked about five missing female characters: Carol, Wanda, Jean, Storm, and Rogue. Arguably Marvel's biggest female characters besides Black Widow. All five of them are not just popular but also extremely powerful so their absences really stand out. But if Marvel can keep powerful characters like Bob and Thor and balance them out with Doom, then their inability to balance out these female powerhouses makes them look flat out inept if not outright sexist. The Eternals I don't think will ever be shown or mentioned again.
  10. That's true and thankfully the Mr. Burns minifig existed to give Xavier a green suit he could swap into. Agreed, I never got the casting choice for Reed in MoM. I know John was a popular fancast for Reed but it felt like a waste of time to make that effort to cast him only as one Reed variant if they weren't going to make him the main Reed. At least with Ioan, there would be some level of familiarity and audience recognition rather than some stranger that most people wouldn't be able to figure out who he is. Especially since Marvel would bring back Chris as Johnny later on so they might as well have started off with Ioan. There are certain minifigs who get reused all the time, even when they don't fit the look of a certain movie. Thor gets that treatment often as well. Would be really nice if we could get an Illuminati set one day, maybe as an Epic Moments set. Particularly so we could get Black Bolt Ultron would make for a good crossover with Doom considering Doom's Doombots. And if Doom is a Tony variant (or vice-versa), that would deepen the connection since Tony made Ultron. In that sense, Doom would be his creator as well. But I won't raise my hopes up since I also thought Ragnarok introducing Hela was meant to connect to Thanos in Infinity War and they completely ignored her and Thanos' love for Death. Everytime I see a reference to Sam's Avengers, I start to wonder who even is on that team lol. I can only think of Shang-Chi, Ant-Man and maybe Shuri. But that's being generous since we never saw Shang-Chi or Shuri officially join. Meanwhile Hulk, Captain Marvel, She-Hulk, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Blade, Doctor Strange, Vision, War Machine, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, etc. are all AWOL.
  11. It just further exposes how bringing back RDJ was always a "break glass in case of emergency" situation, which the MCU desperately had when all their films started failing commercially and critically and they lost their big bad to a combination of public apathy and a domestic scandal. The accent is really off-putting so far and comes across like a parody. Seeing Franklin in the trailer reminded me that we still don't have a minifigure for him. If we do get more sets in a second wave, I wonder if we might get him along with Sue. Also saw Xavier's jacket with the X-logo in promotional pics so I hope we can get a minifig of him in it. Lego's been quite lazy when it comes to Xavier minifigs so I don't know if they'd bother.
  12. Mr. Sinister and the Hellfire Club are the villains. Wagner Moura is rumored casting for Sebastian Shaw. There's already been reports that it's the O5 in the team plus Rogue and Storm and possibly one other member. We know Magneto is in the movie as well, just not cast (or confirmed) yet. Mystique isn't in the movie but she'll be in that Disney+ special presentation or whatever you call it. Charles Melton rejected Beast at the last minute, apparently due to fee issues. He was supposed to be announced tonight and they're trying to see if they can get him back. With his Beef co-star Cailee out, I find that less likely. I'm hoping we get minifigures for Tommy and Billy in SW, assuming they'll pop up there to reunite the Maximoff family. Since it doesn't seem like we can expect another Disney+ CMF line to cover Vision Quest and Agatha All Along. It's nice to see Ultron back since the MCU really dropped the ball on him. It's funny how the two biggest archenemies of the Avengers (Ultron and Kang) were so badly depicted.
  13. The O5 are all in it so expect to see Iceman, Beast, and Angel eventually. Gambit is still unknown. There's been rumors about him and Nightcrawler, particularly Nightcrawler who may debut in Ghost Rider. Meanwhile Hugh Jackman teasing an appearance in Doomsday. Wonder if we can expect a second wave of Doomsday sets to feature Wolverine. I don't think they're going to repeat the black leather looks again. The color scheme has in BND is also an indication they're going with classic comic colors.
  14. The fact that we're getting Doom in every set but not getting Doom in his astounds me. Not that it's a great look but it would have been nice to get some variety.
  15. That's an amazing price! You're so lucky. Online I see it's $65.99.
