@nessisonett As someone who tracked down as many John Byrne She-Hulk comics as I could when I was young, I really enjoyed the tone of the series. Some of the episodes were uneven, but the good far outweighed the bad and the finale was a hoot. Seems like they used a bit from the Dan Slott run too, which I also thought was fantastic. Glad I’m not the only one who enjoyed the show since it seemed to irritate a lot of people for reasons that elude me.

@Jackpaza0508 I probably would have worn Spider-Man Goodnites as a child, even though I didn't have any toilet/bedwetting issues lol. Spider-Man was my #1 fave childhood superhero (and he still is my fave today).

Think it has to do with my autism maybe, never cared what anyone though of my clothing choices (still don't to a reasonable degree).

@Eagly Glad you were able to secure a copy, even though it's on a platform you don't have! (for the moment)

@Jackpaza0508 I can’t believe Chris Pratt allowed them to use ‘Holiday Special’, he’s surely one of those Keep Christ in Christmas dudes.

My niece worked on the Ant-Man movie, so may actually watch this one!

@JohnnyShoulder That’s really cool! It’ll be a massive hit so I’m guessing that’ll look good on her CV.

@JohnnyShoulder oh wicked, what does she do? I kept getting e-mails to be an extra on it but I was busy with "normal" work and didn't fancy giving my phone to a security guard for 12 hours a day (what if there is an emergency at home?) because Marvel treats the lowest rung of film workers like children because a couple of idiots decided to leak something once.

Sorry that was supposed to be a positive and genuinely interested question about your niece! But then I remembered my experience of working on most big budget films (not just Marvel)

@nessisonett @ralphdibny Cheers guys!

She was one of the many make up artists and got paid very well for it! She also randomly appeared as an extra on a upcoming Netflix film she was working on, which was unplanned. I will have to quiz her on the working conditions, but I think she was just grateful for the work as it has been a bit of a struggle recently.

@JohnnyShoulder ah that's brilliant, I bet it was super exciting. Even I'll admit the temptation of working on Ant Man and also Secret Invasion which filmed over here almost got me to come out of my self imposed exile for the film industry. But yeah, too much for me and my old body really 😅

@KidBoruto Remember me from the Deadpool game? As it turns out GameStop’s system glitched and they don’t have the game. They are refunding me and it isn’t coming. Now I have to decide wether to buy it for $80 on Amazon

Damn the game went out of print fast. $80 for Xbox One, $100 for PS4...

I found some cheaper copies elsewhere, including the links below.

Just watched All Hail the King on Disney+. I watch everything with subtitles nowadays and noticed one character didn't say something that was written in the subs. I checked the Thor The Dark World blu ray to confirm and they have indeed edited a word out of the D+ version of this film. Super weird edit/censor.

A bit disconcerting really, I've been watching all the Marvel stuff on D+ unless it's not in 4K in which case I'll just watch the blu ray copy. I know there were a few high profile and random edits made to FWS, Punisher and Luke Cage that were apparently later restored. Bit random though, I just want to watch the most complete versions of these films/shorts/TV shows and a bit worried I might be watching an edited version without realising.

I'm pretty sure their copy of Avengers Assemble is the original one and not the weird censored version we got on Blu Ray in the UK. It has the US title and the scene in question fully intact.

Ahh well, not a lot anyone can do about it if they edit more media in future, half of the TV shows were never released on blu ray, much to the chagrin of my incomplete MCU shelf.

@RogerRoger I don't even know if I can say it here now that Disney deems it inappropriate lol. Not that Disney should be an example of our morality 😂. It's a word for a white person and also a word for something that you pull at Christmas and it has a hat, a joke and some other garbage inside it. Not a word I use a whole lot but I really wouldn't care if somebody called me it.

When I watched Avengers Assemble in the cinema, Loki's spear went through Coulson and visibly came out the other side. In the UK blu Ray, it went in and never came out, like the protruding tip was edited out. I noticed it immediately, mainly because the scene was so shocking in the cinema.

I looked it up, Disney initially said there was no change and it was the same as the cinema version. Then they backtracked and said it was different. They didn't recall the blu ray or offer replacements so that's the version the UK had until it came out again on Disney+.

In that time, I actually bought a copy from America that was unedited. Annoying really, I like the UK title of Avengers Assemble but didn't really want a gimped film!

Edit: love the new profile pic btw!

@RogerRoger I think it's because there is no 12A certificate for home media, that was created only for the cinema, I think specifically for the first Spider-Man film that got slapped with a 15 when it was first submitted.

@RogerRoger glad you enjoyed doc strange more or less!

I love captain carter as much as the next person but I wouldn't change Captain America for the world. I'm rewatching the MCU from the beginning and just watched The Winter Soldier and I think it's resolidified it's place as my favourite MCU movie.

That said, I'm glad his story is done and a different multiversal Captain Carter still has adventures ahead of her 😃. I loved her design even before Atwell embodied the mantle and that only made me love the character more.

(Spoilers for Thor 4: Down by the Sea Shore) I just wish the same could be said about our newest Thor. Seeing Mighty Thor and Captain Carter kicking ass together would be awesome. Though I suspect we will get a multiversal variant of Jane's Thor in Secret Wars. At least I'm hoping we do!

@RogerRoger It’s one of those movies that I get it’s a mess but Sam Raimi’s ludicrousness does kinda elevate it to a fun mess!
