That last picture is the Tick action figure I’ve had since I was 5 years old.

I can’t even express how happy I am that this figure exists.

Joe Keery as Cyclops

Nicholas Galitzine as Angel

Abraham Popoola as the Beast

Austin Abrams as Ice Man

Sadie Sink as Marvel Girl

Stanley Tucci as Professor X

And Holt McCallany as the Juggernaut

*Secretly* Jessie Buckley as Mystique

I see this as almost like a monster movie, and the Juggernaut is the monster. Jean Grey, fresh off of being recruited in Brand New Day, is brought to the mansion to join the X-Men just like in X-Men #1. The rest of the team have been training there in secret for years. And though they think they’re ready to debut to the world, Professor X doesn’t think they’re ready. Scott is a phenom at combat and tactics but isn’t sure of himself as a socially. Angel grew up rich and hot with the power to fly and is super arrogant and full of himself. Iceman is a class clown that never takes anything seriously. Beast is ashamed of his powers and overthinks everything to the point of inaction trying to show people he has brains and not just brawn. And Jean is super distrustful of all authority figures from her Brand New Day experiences and doesn’t want to be a team player (shades of Wolverine, foreshadowing their connection in future movies.)

But that all has to change when a mysterious spy ring frees Xavier’s stepbrother Cain from his prison on the Raft and returns his armor to him. Knowing Cain won’t stop his rampage until he finds Xavier, and that his psychic powers won’t work through the helmet. And this time, he doesn’t have his friend Eric by his side that allowed him to bring Cain down the last time. Seeing no other choice, Xavier contacts the Mayor of New York and goes to the Authorities to turn himself over as Ransom.

But Scott won’t allow that. The team steals the Blackbird and they go to confront Juggernaut. At first they’re unsuccessful. Scott has his shit together. But Angel is arrogant, Beast overthinks, Bobby doesn’t take it seriously, and Jean doesn’t want to work as a team. They’re only saved because Xavier arrives and hands himself over. 

Scott gives a big speech and rallies the troops. They ambush Juggernaut, they execute a big plan of attack. It almost works but Angel messes it up being arrogant again. It seems like Juggernaut is going to kill the professor, till Scott yanks off his visor and hits him with a full power blast. Angel sees that the latches on Jugs helmet have been knocked loose in the front. 

Desperate to make up for his mistakes, Angel flies into the path of Cyclops blast and snatches the helmet off. This lets Scott hit Cain with the full power blast in the head putting him down.

In the aftermath, Angels wings are broken and have to be surgically removed, but the team is victorious and the city is saved. Beast, who learned over the film to trust his natural instincts more than overthinking, smells something familiar on one of the EMT’s and discovers that all the spies in the movie were actually Mystique in different forms pulling strings for an unknown reason that involves breaking other prisoners out of the Raft and stealing things from the X-Mansion. 

The team thinks that they’re going to be hailed as heroes, but the City realizes they’re mutants and hates them. They go their separate ways. 

Angel drifts, devastated by the loss of his wings. This starts him down the path towards Archangel in future movies.

Beast takes a Job as a Scientist for Stark Industries, bringing him into the world of the Avengers.

Iceman responds to an ad in the city looking for roommates at a nice apartment with cheap rent. He and Peter Parker both arrive at the door at the same time. Turns out the ad was placed by the merged Earth Johnny Storm. They’re all going to be Amazing Friends.

But Jean has made a relationship with Cyclops. After being on her own and distrusting authority, she finally found someone she’s willing to follow. He’s devastated that the world still hates and fears them, but vows that that doesn’t matter and he’s going to show them they’re wrong and that they can coexist. Last thing we see is Scott, Jean, and Charles turning in Cerebro to find the All-New, All-Different X-Men.

Post credits scene…turns out Mystique was working with Magneto. In exchange for her help, she got the chance to free Destiny who was locked up in a less secure part of the prison from Juggernaut. We see a line up for the Brotherhood that is Magneto, Mystique, Toad, Pyro, Blob…and Wolverine.

If you read this far…thanks. I think I just needed to get this out of my system. lol

She’s the right age, she’s good at fight choreography, and she’s from Tennessee.

Her only weakness as an actress in her other roles is she has trouble dropping her Southern Accent, and that wouldn’t be a problem for Marie.

(Progress, I guess. I just wanted to say hi. But clicking no feedback in an introduction feels like shitting my pants at a stranger’s pool party. lol)

I put the standard on the CE Superboy to make him the perfect Mike McKone/ Black T Shirt Superboy. I put the Plat Cos heads on my Clark Superboy and on my New 52 Superman. And then that left the CE Superboy heads for Cosmic Boy which honestly look great! Couldn’t be happier with these swaps.

I’m the Mayor Bear guy. Trying something new. Lemme know what you think!

I bought one from the same seller as this one a few years ago, and it served me very well. But I work outside in the South and it’s been sweated to death now. The seller I got this fella from no longer offers it as an option.

So Id like another holsters like this one that rides low. With a high sweat guard on the back. Same clip position. It can be leather or Kydex, I’m fine with either. But I’d rather not spend $200. Any suggestions?

I’m having a baby any minute now, but I’m also getting my comic stuff set up with its own Instagram where people can follow me. (Otherwise Comics) and I’m gonna start reposting the ones I’ve already done over there on a weekly schedule. When they catch up I’ll start posting them again on Reddit. Thank you guys so much for all the support!

Classic Superboy and New 52 Superman, Bruce Wayne, and Finally Cosmic Boy himself.
