So with all the film delays happening because of corona, I think it's getting more likely that Black Widow will be affected as well. If that does happen, I think Marvel may just push back all the movies so they don't need to worry about setting up new dates than the ones they already have now. Here's how it could be: * Black Widow - November 6, 2020 * Eternals - February 12, 2021 * Shang-Chi - May 7, 2021 * Spider-Man 3 - July 16, 2021 (Sony will most likely want to keep the summer spot) * Doctor Strange 2 - November 5, 2021 (they may need the extra time given the director situation anyway) * Thor 4 - February 18, 2022 * Black Panther 2 - May 6, 2022 (no change)
Of course, the Disney+ series may also be affected in this situation. Besides production on Falcon and Winter Soldier being halted, WandaVision and Loki may also be delayed given their connections to Strange and Thor and they'll want to release everything close to each other.

I can relate to that... but I also kind of see it like this: There are those friends who you can go long stretches of time without talking to them. But when you talk to them again, it's like neither one of you has lost a step. That's how I feel about everyone who still comments on here. I hope to always speak with you wonderful people, even if life dictates that the talks are far and in between. Well said Excellent! Life's been quite busy as of late, but I always like to come back here to exchange a few words every so often. One of my favourite escapes from the outside noise.

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Hope everyone is doing their best to stay healthy and take care of their loved ones. Outside of all that has been going on outside, I've been watching a lot of Mr. Robot. I'm currently in the middle of season 2 and loving it. Randomly, we started Macauley Culkin's Richie Rich. I had no intention of watching the movie beyond the opening 10 minutes, but 50 minutes in I'm reminded of how much I loved this film as a kid.

Rumor has it we're getting a Venom 2 trailer some time this week. Take that with a pinch of salt, you know? We'll see. So far, no reschedule from Sony since it has an October release. It makes sense that rumors of a teaser dropping are starting to be floated out there though. The movie is roughly 7 months out, and it's not uncommon that rumors of a teaser trailer dropping start popping up around 3 or 4 weeks before they actually drop.

How do you follow up a post like that? I mean, game over, amiright?? Go ahead, crown me the winner, I accept.
On another note, anyone catch that Ruby Rose stepped down as Batwoman? For now there's a lot of speculation as to why. To be honest, I haven't watched the season yet. In reading all of the plot synopsis and taking in all the buzz, it just didn't seem like it was the show for me. Truthfully, I didn't like that every synopsis I read seemed to be more about Kate's personal relationships than vigilantism. Regardless, I think the possible reasons for Rose stepping down really, really suck. Namely, it's being thrown around that as an actor/actress Rose isn't "gay enough" because they are gender fluid. I've also read that as an actor, Rose had a lot of growing to do, but people did seem to think they grew into the role over the course of the season. There's a lot to be said about representation in tv and movies, and the people to say it are a lot more versed in those kinds of ethics than I. At the end of the day, I still need to watch the show and look into more to have a better idea of what really happened... I just think this feels a lot like friendly fire, and it all feels toxic among fans. Even in shows that are trying to be progressive, their fans are toxic as the rest of the fandoms. smh

As someone who watches all the Arrowverse shows, I watched and for the most part enjoyed Batwoman. It sucks that Rose has left and think there's more to it than they're letting on. As an initial reaction, I'd think it'd be best to cancel the show. It's going to be an uphill battle to recast the lead role of a TV show after a full season and get viewers reinvested in the character, especially if they act like nothing happened. It's a pretty unprecedented situation. Imagine if this happened with Flash, Arrow, or Supergirl.

I wish you a well anniversary this coming June, I know times are weird right now. I'm not up to date on shows but, yeesh yeah. That would really suck, that reason doesn't sound like it comes from people that genuinely care about representation either. The fools. Truthfully mainstream queer media isn't always genuine about it either! Though I don't know in this case. Either way, toxicity and gatekeeping do exist everywhere unfortunately. Any media with queer characters or themes is held to harsher scrutiny than normal, and always gets a lot of backlash from the outside no matter what. Ya can't win! Musing aside, I do hope it was a more casual reason. Didn't they get injured at some point? Whatever the situation though that is really difficult moving forward. At least it's not mid-season? (Also for the record, as the Resident Queer; you can be non-binary/fluid/have a complicated relationship with the constructed idea of womanhood/etc and still be a lesbian. Do these people not know about butches? I mean c'mon )

Dammit!! I was gunnin' fer this one. Congratulations brother. Hope you all are staying safe with that's going on right now.
In other news, I just finished season 6 of Agents of Shield and saw the first episode of season 7 last night. The show is so hard to follow these days, but they're still trucking along. Gotta give it to Clark Greg, Ming Na Wen, and Chloe Bennet. They've had one hell of a run with the show. Specifically Clark Gregg and Chloe Bennet. Whereas Gregg got his start in the movies and transitioned over to tv, Bennet is rumored to jump from this show into Disney +'s Agents of S.W.O.R.D.

Apparently Batwoman is going to be introducing an entirely new character to take the mantle. www.superherohype.com/tv/482221-batwoman-season-2-will-feature-a-new-lead-characterOkay, now I'm really hoping they end up cancelling it. I mean, at least if they recast Kate, they could have continued the plotlines set up that were dependent on Kate and her relationships. But to drop a whole new character into Kate's circle? Come one. And honestly, I think it hurts the premise it started with. Kate took the mantle of the bat after Bruce vanished, and now apparently Kate's gonna do the same thing. Dafuq?

Yeah, that sounds really odd. I still haven't watched it, but plan on it one day. Guess I'll see how it all turns out and watch it when it's all over.
In other random conversational news, I just saw that 4Tastic was added to Disney+, so I can finally give it a watch. From what I hear, the first 40 minutes are decent, but then it just falls apart. A shame really. I've read a good number of the Ultimate Fantastic 4 books, and they're pretty good.
In other, other random news, I've started watching the 90s X-Men again while simultaneously watching Wolverine and the X-Men. Whereas the 90s series is good (if dated) for all the reasons lovingly detailed in many a YouTube documentary, Wolverine and the X-Men has its own merits as well. It's easily better than anything Marvel that Disney has put out since 2011. I'll even go so far as to say that while Earth's Mightiest Heroes (not a Disney show... I think) got pretty epic during its run, I think the production on Wolverine and the X-Men is a lot stronger, from the voice acting, the animation, and the main story. Then again, that's like comparing apples to oranges. It's no surprise that Craig Kyle, one of TSSM's main creatives, was also involved in Wolverine and the X-Men. Too bad it only got 1 season.
