With The Phoenix Saga being so played out in the X-Men movies, I could see them doing a version of Inferno. Especially with Ghost Rider coming up, and them establishing Mephisto and other supernatural Characters in the MCU. Also we already got Mister Sinister showing up. 👿

Whenever I see a post that's like "this is peak animation," it's always jut two people running around real fast. It's strange its never something subtle or nuanced, some great expressions of giving life to a drawing... weird huh? 🫠

When did we stop believing that young people have the ability to produce good art? I keep seeing this come up, same with Kane Parsons about Backrooms. Have we infantilized young people this much, that the idea they could be skilled enough to make something good be impossible?

I really dislike the power level-ification of the X-Men. Any time someone is like “but they are an omega level mutant they should”… I glaze over. Way too much power creep.

Maybe I’m just misremembering but I don’t remember it being used much as part of Angels characterization, that he had such a sense of justice he took it upon himself to become a hero before joining the X-men. Anyway, someone should play with that if they already haven’t.

With William Metzger showing up in Spider-Man: Brand New Day it would be interesting if we got an X-men that looked more like this... than that! Cause they obviously have been looking at X-Men: Children of the Atom.

Hearing about Marvels move from NYC to LA feels like a real end of an era, but I think I'd feel more if they still ran a bullpen style office. Solidarity and best wishes to everyone forced to move, that has to be incredibly hard.

I have a Fathers Day secret: I don't enjoy when my 5 year old picks Calvin and Hobbes to read at night. It's not that I find it bad, it's great! But it feels 100% like a comic she's ment to find when she can read, after she's weathered a couple years of school, and had to deal with more grown-ups.

The salary difference between a Senior Designer position at a major book publisher $73,500.... and a Junior AI Engineer $110,000 - $135,000 at the same company is sooooooo stupid! One is a product facing job making your main product, the other an unknown quantity.
