The MCU hobgoblin won’t be Ned.

Since Homecoming people have been talking about Ned becoming the Hobgoblin like in the comics. Except in the comics Ned wasn’t the Hobgoblin. He was framed. The real Hobgoblin was Fashion Designer Roderick Kingsley. I don’t think the CEO has it in him to be a super villain. He’s too chill.

The only way I can see it happening is if they just rip off Willem Dafoe Goblin and have Ned get the goblin serum + split personality. I highly doubt that will happen since Kevin Feige notoriously hates doing stuff that’s already been done before.

I do believe the MCU will bring in Roderick Kingsley but he won’t be the Hobgoblin. Just a red herring to mess with comic fans. The Hobgoblin will be Peter Parker’s teacher, Mr Harrington.

In Incredible Hulk it’s shown that Harrington was a student at the extremely prestigious Cutler University. So he’d be smart enough to make his own tech. His wife faked her death during the snap and left him. Motivation for a future breakdown. It’s possible that at some point after No Way Home he just snapped and became an unhinged supervillain. Think Michael Douglas in “Falling Down”.

It would also emulate the feeling of the Green/Hobgoblin mystery in the comics. The idea that someone Peter knows is the titular villain. In this case it’s someone that would shock both Comic fans and MCU fans.

Hot Take: MCU Iceman should be 8-13 years old.

His whole thing is being the youngest so just have him be played by an actual child. It would be way more interesting than “young white guy number #4, this one has ice powers and he quips!!!”

Just imagine the visual of Jean Grey walking into the mansion and seeing a little kid with a snowball for a head running around.

He can grow into the role over time. Maybe do an “Amazing Friends” thing with MCU Miles Morales and MCU firestar.

If they ever recast Ryan Reynolds instead of a reboot it would be funnier if he just regenerated

Would it really be that hard to just do a 10-15 episode Tubi original?

I know power rangers has 30 seasons. I just want to see them reach 1000 episodes before peacing out. They were so close.

It’s not even that risky. Just make it for the budget of a sitcom, put some toys on the shelves and voila, you have an actual revenue stream.

It would definitely be more profitable than the re ignition line.

Those mmpr toys are too cheaply made for adult collectors and kids don’t want toys from an ancient looking tv show. You might as well try selling them Munsters action figures.

Is Nightcrawler’s German identity important to the character?

(This picture is from a screen rant article btw. If it’s from a comic pls let me know so I can credit the artist)

With the X-men reboot coming up Indian American actor Aryan Simhadri expressed his interest online in playing Nightcrawler which got me thinking, how important is the character’s German identity?

Can the same effect not be captured with any other foreign accent? Or is it as important as black panther being black?

Linear Cable tv will never truly be phased out, even if they lose live sports to streaming.

As long as hotels, bars, and waiting rooms exist, cable will never die. Even when all the boomers die out. You think people staying in a hotel for the night are going to give a random tv their Netflix subscription password or just watch office re runs on comedy central?

It seems that most cable channels have adjusted their schedules to reflect this. Instead of having a prime time line up a new shows they just play the classics that everyone already loves.

Sure losing live sports to streaming wouldn't be doing them any favors but it's not a death blow.

I kind of hope future Iron Man suit ups just look like this.

Best of both worlds, he has to physically put on a belt that then activates the nano tech.

Anyone think the Batman part 2 will be the final Pattinson movie?

It took Reeves six years to make the first one and six years to make this one. If he were to make a part three it would probably come out in 2034, years after brave and the bold.

How come X Men 97 is the ONLY marvel studios project to not have a Japanese dub

Even your friendly neighborhood Spider Man got one. It can’t be for lack of interest as the original X-men TAS was extremely popular in Japan even getting a full manga adaptation.

Anyone else want to see a “ long story short” type spider man show?

Panel 1:John Romita Jr
Panel 2:Steve Ditko

Basically every episode would take place at a random point in his life. You could do one in college,one in high school, one where he’s married, one with miles, one where he’s a teacher, etc. It’d be a cool way to cover his entire history while still having high school adventures to keep the Disney tv overlords satisfied.
