what is the proper etiquette for jacking text posts about the comics that came out today, because all y’all are fucking wrong.
comics evolve, superheroes change, we can have a story that “doesn’t feel like a character x” story actually be a character x story because without change and dynamic trends, then we sit on the same pile of superhero garbage we’ve always sat on.
why you do you think indie titles and image and monkeybrain books are becoming so popular? because it’s fresh and new and it’s not the same thing that’s recycled again and again within superhero comics. as the industry changes, so does the content.
and god forbid a creator decide to create and think outside the box within a marvel book, because then everyone loses their shit and cries foul.
what i’m saying is, deal with it. open your mind and accept that one creator’s run is going to be different than another’s. if they have proven successful in the past, give them the benefit of the doubt that they know what the fuck they are doing since they are the professional comic book writer.
It’s like my prayers have been answered.

❒ Taken
✔ In A Committed Relationship With Marvel Studios
I saw the film at 9PM Thursday night, and I’ve had roughly a day to collect my thoughts.
Firstly, this felt right. It was an organic and holistic approach to what, I think, can be considered a fitting conclusion of the current Iron Man series. Iron Man 3 was in all its motives, a true swan song.
This wasn’t a comic book movie in the sense of a character introduction (Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America), this wasn’t a comic book movie in the sense of a team movie (Avengers): this was Marvel Studios, Shane Black, and the cast breaking ground and crafting the first conclusion in the franchise that we’ve been following since 2008. In many ways this was the Alpha and the Omega of the Marvel Cinematic universe as a whole. It’s the beginning of Phase 2 and the end of the current Iron Man movies. It exists as a bookend, but still needs to offer a compelling and complete tale.
From the beginning, Feige wanted to “put Tony back into the cave”. He wanted him to be at a disadvantage. To show that Iron Man isn’t a suit, it’s Stark, and will always be Tony Stark. That it’s just not a moniker, but a character trait. Iron can be bent and shaped by circumstance, its potential as something dynamic is inherent. It’s in Stark’s nature to change through these films, and he does.

MCU Phase One Blu-Ray Box Set
It’s HUGE. Easily the best special box set I’ve seen from any franchise, the extras and sheet craftsmanship makes this worth the hefty-ish price tag.
Note: I’ll be watching the blu-rays over the next two days, so I’ll post recaps of the movies and extras themselves.
Reread Avengers Prime tonight. I can’t be the only one that made this connection.
Tony is clearly that prissy cat.
