That’s actually pretty nice, protecting Kirsten Dunst’s vocal cord.

It’s okay for a female character to be like that, but Mary Jane is not that kind of character. She is a not just a damsel in distress. She is that positive part of Peter’s life when he needed her the most and she does everything in her power to help him despite not having power. Yes, she is allowed to make mistakes and be scared but that’s all she does. And honestly, with how many men she switches around, does she even love anyone? It’s like if you make Rainbow Dash a damsel in distress and put her in a middle of multiple love triangles. It’s just not the character to do that with. I mean doing that with Lois Lane makes a lot of sense but just not really with Mary Jane. The worst part is that kind of ruined Mary Jane’s image from the comic. Everyone would just associate her with Lois Lane, Vicki Vale, or Princess Peach. And just like those characters, Mary Jane also evolves from being a simple love interest and damsel in distress to a character of her own that is engaging and likeable. Female characters deserve more than being rescued all the time.

The five nights of freddy’s movie has actually started filming

@northern haste
Let’s hope the world still remembers FNAF when it comes out.

@Just Wayne
I don’t see them forgetting any time soon.

Who knows, they may learn to fear it again.

Aardman is one of the studios working on star wars visions season 2

@Just Wayne
now if marvel would stop teasing the mj/parker remarriage they’ve been doing for…a decade now?

jesus christ.

@Lord WyrmSpawN
Man, I hope so. Maybe the movie would be really scary.

@Angrybrony
Eh, kind of normal with superheroes. It’s like Batman and Catwoman never being able to be an item. It’s that “hero life is too dangerous for romance” cliche.

after watching 4 seasons of slayers i can now say that anime female leads peaked with lina inverse. you can try to prove me wrong…but you can’t.

@Just Wayne
that’s still way more stupid cuz THEY WERE MARRIED FOR A DECADES!

@Elidiotadelaesquina
does it have the laugh tho?

If Peter remains married to MJ, who else is gonna be Spider-Man if there are no AUs where Peter didn’t end up with her or when he is a teenager again?

And I mean IF BIG IF. Because I know there’s a Spider-Verse and all, but sometimes Spiderverse in comics can be aligned to one ongoing storyline instead of making separate storylines from each other.

Honestly I never care about romantic stuff in superhero media. I like to see, well, the superhero stuff.

I mostly agree. Although one exception IMO is in the Amazing Spider-Man films with Peter and Gwen.

@Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person
…you do know that he can be a superhero and be married right and peter was married to mj for well over a decade before one more day and WAS STILL SPIDER MAN? even then your forgetting miles morales. you know the other spider-man? and do i even get into his clones?

Hopefully Optimus in Rise of the Beasts is just as much a bloodthirsty war criminal as Bayverse Optimus
Sure inspiring and heroic leaders are cool and all

But…

@Spidey10
I knew someone would bring that up because they have actual chemistry, but speaking of which, there is another reason I don’t really care for romance in superhero media.

…You know one of them is gonna die anyway.

As someone who’s only a fan of Beast Wars in the Transformers franchise, I’ll say I don’t care because I’ve already seen the trailer and it looks bad.
I keep getting my hopes up when there’s some new Beast Wars thing and each time I’m disappointed.

Beast Machines: The characters pretty much get rebooted personalities and memories. The animation improves in some areas from BW, but gets worse in others. The tone is too dour most of the time. There’s a few neat ideas, some new characters I like and a few cool moments, but overall BM didn’t feel like a real sequel.

The anime “sequels”: Meh. If you like G1, these are cool. Not much character stuff or personal struggle like Beast Wars, but it’s got cool animation and robots transforming and stuff. Optimus Primal pops in the movie for a few minutes.

The comics, The Gathering and the other one I can’t remember the name of because it sucked too: These introduced previously anime or toy exclusive characters into Beast Wars, or rather, had them exist parallel to Beast Wars. They never interact with the BW characters because of time travel shenanigans. The characters are bland and uninteresting. The anime characters have little in common with their counterparts, I don’t think the writers were aware or cared that they had established personalities. Watching the anime just made me more confused.

Kingdom cartoon: Voices are bland, animation is nearly non existent, the BW characters get cool updated looks just to stand around and whisper talk about nothing.

The new comics: What if the exact same stuff happened but everyone was different? I don’t care for the idea of a reboot for BW. Maybe it gets better later on, but I just don’t have a connection to these versions of the characters. I’m not a fan of the art style. It’s not bad, but I would’ve preferred something more like the old comics.

The new Bayverse movie: It looks like every other Bayverse movie. It doesn’t follow BW because it needs the G1 characters and the stupid humans in it. The BW characters aren’t realized in modern cgi very well. Kingdom at least kept their designs faithful.

@Angrybrony
What part of both IF and: @Hollowfox, Always The Worst Person

don’t you get?

Without if, everyone will act as if I don’t know when I really do.

I do know about Miles, and the Spider-Verse, yes I said it again because you didn’t get the part of the two letters, I and F!

@Angrybrony
No, in fact im surprised.

Ok maybe what Kimahri is supposed to be, yes. But only because he is a person painted blue with (it seems) fake muscles.

@Angrybrony
Metal Sonic actually wants the iPad back because it is used to control him. Sage is using it to make Metal do stupid things.

@Dex Stewart
This is how you make kids realize Boba Fett is actually Harry Potter.
