@Scarilian - I was about to comment the same thing. Like, I feel that this is objectively silly.

@Scarilian - marvel messing up there characters now can imagine what they do if they have venom another Spider-Man 3 situation Tobey McGuire version ?

@GhostDog - It upsets me because to get into Hollywood to write you have to have connections. And these studios almost never hire fans of the source material. And their current writers don't even build off of current plot points within the MCU. Such as Red Hulk. The Red Hulk should be the massive twist from The Leader. The Leader was using The Power Broker for the serum and The Leader was combining it with She-Hulk's DNA and created the Red Hulk serum. It can all weave together to create a micro-saga called "The Thunderbolt Saga"

@GhostDog @SonOfAGif - Let's hope that the fangs thing is not true because I agree that it does sound silly and impractical. Also I like your idea about the original of the Serpent Society and how everything could tie together with the PB, Leader, RH, etc. So let's hope that they do something close to that.

Regarding getting into Hollywood as a writer, yeah it sucks that it's so hard to get into. I was a theater person in high school and actually wrote and directed my own one-act play called "Marsha Brady in Hell" based on existentialism (I was reading a lot of that at the time) and the play was somewhat inspired by Shaw's "Don Juan in Hell" from "Man and Superman" but it presented the existentialism in a more humorous way using characters like Don Juan, Elvis, Apollo, Satan, etc. (and of course Marsha Brady). I was also an actor in a bunch of other plays and musicals and have been playing the guitar since I was 6. But I would have NO idea how to get into Hollywood with any of that if I didn't have a connection (which I don't).

Hell I occasionally post some well-received ideas here and even plotted out at least a 4 season animated series with @B89 about a plant-based Spider-Man variant in Australia named "Vege-Might" (it's intended for both kids and parents with jokes for both), but I don't know what to do with that. I can also do a pretty spot-on impression of Chris Latta's TF G1 Starscream, but does anyone know how to get into force acting? I sure as hell don't.

Guess I'l just have to go back to my day job of using Generative AI to create the the AI super-intelligence that will one day enslave us using giant transforming robots (so far when I tell it to "launch missile" it thinks I'm saying "lunch whistle" and then every Echo Dot in my house pays this high-pitched screeching sound for about a minute so it's got a ways to go). *sigh*

@GhostDog - Yeah, just really like performing in general and I'm not scared to get up on a stage. My "performance" that I can recall is when I was in first grade my mom dressed me up as a leprechaun on my birthday (which is St. Patrick's Day) and then sent me to school where I ran from classroom to classroom shouting "I'm a leprechaun! You can't catch me!". Unfortunately I made the mistake of running into the gym where they were holding some kind of a teacher's meeting or something and the music lady caught me and made me dance around during the meeting while she played Irish jigs or whatever on the piano. True story. But then later in 4th, 5th, and 6th, grade I was in the talent shows and was like the big ending act where I would crank out 60s tunes like "Johnny B. Goode" on my first electric guitar. And it just went on from there.

I think that if I had to choose between being a professional actor/writer/director or musician, I would probably go with musician because of the greater degree of artistic freedom it allows you (I also do visual art and if I have any natural talent that's it and fortunately it seems my older daughter inherited that from me). Since starting college many years ago I've written 10 albums of lyrics and chords and started on my 11th a little while ago, but I've never professionally recorded anything (I was in a band in college but that was more or less just something fun to do while we were f**ked up). After I took guitar lessons for 12 years I thought myself piano, drums, and bass, so I could theoretically start recording my albums and maybe get something played on the radio one of these days. But that's time I don't have right now. I'm hoping that if nothing else one of these days I'll get another band together and pay local joints on the weekends or something (currently my fanbase only consists of two little girls who like it when their daddy plays song so they can dance around 😊).

@GhostDog - Ha! Maybe I'm just insecure and crave the attention for self-validation. Or maybe... I just gotta tap! (Fun fact I was actually in "Anything Goes" (musical) in high school and played the old decrepit boss of the main character (don't remember the name right now). If you're not familiar with the show, it's a caper comedy that takes place on a cruise ship and my character gets sea sick early on and starts drinking, so he spends the rest of the show drunk. It was a blast (got the sfx make up, bald cap, atc.). Apparently I was SO convincing that the audience thought that I really was drunk and people told me so after the show. The funny thing is that my friends and I were mainly just smoking pot and not drinking because weed was easier to get than alcohol at that age so I just kinda made it up). Oh, yeah, and I had to learn to tap dance :/

@PlusUltra - Im tired of hearing shit like that tho. Do they have no creativity to create or reinvent a villain like this? There is no way this is all they were able to come up with....Smh

@PlusUltra - But Bro....They made Batroc The Leaper....Look COOL!!!! I have seen his comic book appearance and he looks TERRIBLE!

"He’s one of Cap’s good villains tho, that’s what I mean. Now they’re scraping" - @PlusUltra

They're using an Incredible Hulk villain, and they still haven't even given Hulk his own movie, in 15 years. And counting. In 15 years and counting The actual Hulk, The Incredible Hulk, doesn't have shit. He just has this dickless portrayal by Mark Ruffalo, and that's it. That's your Hulk.

The guy just bombed in his last outing in his own franchise, and now he is gonna be this replacement Captain America's new villain.

@ClintThaHamster - Remember when we thought the Serpent Society was going to be the main threat in Cap 3? Good times...
