Ms. Marvel - Disney+ (***Spoilers***)

Releasing June 8th

The problem with stretchy powers is how to do them without looking goofy or crap. Just look at the 2 Fantastic 4 films or The Flash. I still would've preferred them as well.

I would say they announced the series with the intention of using the proper powers but probably didn't work right when they did effects testing. Or may have been too expensive.

Wierd... that same youtube video must have sent me to a different trailer because I'm pretty sure I saw stretch powers.

I see a lot of chatter among comic readers about big changes to Kamala's back story. Mostly to do with trying to keep InHumans out of canon. Not a comic reader myself so all I care about is a fun story. The trailer is giving me big Into the Spider-verse vibes, especially with the comic graphics at the start. Maybe that was just for the trailer, we'll see but overall I'm positive for this.

Disney and the MCU have potential triumph in Moon Knight but as sure as night follows day along this will be coming which will undo all progress. I'll give it a try but my expectation is that this will be worse than Captain Marvel.

I’m really hoping this a crime fighting series and shows the struggle to hide the superhero is from family and friends.

So far all the MCU heroes are known to the public. Even Kate Bishop being a hero is known to many people.Moon Knight and Scarlet Scarab are so far the only to be unknown to the public.

MCU needs more heroes and villains with secret identities.

She sounds so dour. Voice seems so monotonous

Can’t say I’ve sampled Star Trek Prodigy. Lower Decks would be adult animation though. Good?

Well, they changed Spider-mans webbing from a science gadget to part of the mutation for Raimi's movies so maybe the cosmic bracelet will be accepted just as easily.

I remember having a big special publication Marvel put out before the Raimi movie was announced, it was a whole compendium on the character, info about suits, gadgets, etc. and probably was a great design guide for the PS1 game devs... I remember the book had a chapter about failed Spiderman movies, the Japanese cartoon, and even about James Camerons idea originally to adapt them to film as organic web shooters and to potentially cast Leonardo DiCaprio. This was right after the Feature Movie rights had just recently been secured to Columbia Pictures (now Sony), and Marvel had gotten its second life on the other side of bankruptcy, so the compendium was very storied about Marvel's financial history and the story of the Spiderman IP. I don't remember anyone bothered by that idea of organic shooters, but I was very young, and I thought it seemed clever (as a fan of the 90s show). Couldn't tell you what their logic was for it on adapting to film, probably a live action production reason, like worrying about costume design or bulky shooters. Or they didn't want to explain how Peter could engineer web shooters, IDK. This was long before they had a reason for it in the comics or anything. Having it be part of his transmutation though is admittedly very efficient from a storytelling perspective (and made the sequel's story about Peter losing his mojo easier to tell too).

I had to look it back up on wikipedia, I wish I still had that book it was very good. Didn't talk about the Sex Scene between Spiderman and Mary Jane on top of the Brooklyn Bridge in the Cameron draft though! Was that in the comics? Jaysis

You may come away from this wiki article a little mindfucked about how Hollywood even functions. And now I am sad I will never see a Bob Hoskins Doc Ock.

It doesn't really; there are loads of superheroes with super strength and several heroes with super intelligence. Why don't they want two stretchy heroes? Maybe there's something in the show that will justify but not wanting two stretchy heroes just comes across as a bit petty.

Very wholesome vibe. I like the trailer work here and it makes me feel a bit more hopeful that this will be a great addition

Disney dropped first 2 eps to reviewers, reviews are mixed.... leaning mildly positive......
