FantasticJerome

I really hope they can do the X-Men justice. They were always my favorite team growing up and I always felt like I was one of them. There are so many things they can do with the them, I just hope they get it right this time.

I see I need to get a bookshelf! Everyone's collections look so nice and neat. Meanwhile, mine are in different locations, some in stacks, multiple boxes and even in some drawers in my office : )

Goonies would be a good contender, but it would have to be done right and not a cash grab.

As far as recent comics, probably Geiger. The first series was really good. As a kid, probably an old TMNT comic.

I agree with this! I remember watching that movie over and over as a kid.

Now that would be something to see! I would love for Cyclops to really step up to the role like Captain America did for the Avengers.

I'm glad I found it! I love talking to people about comic books and movies!

I would have to say Captain America so far.

Endgame gave us one of the greatest cinematic moments ever with Captain America picking up Mjolnir and him standing alone against Thanos before the portals opened and (nearly) every hero returned. It was years of build-up that paid off in a single line: “Avengers, assemble.” Now Secret Wars has the impossible task of topping that. If it really is the multiversal event everyone expects, the possibilities are wild. Imagine Robert Downey Jr’s Doom facing a council of Iron Men, including a Tom Cruise variant. Or a scene straight out of the comics with Doctor Doom ripping Thanos’ spine out to claim ultimate power. Or Dr. Doom facing off against the intellect of multiple Reed Richards. There are so many ways this movie could go, but what I keep wondering is: what’s your Endgame-level moment for Secret Wars? The one shot, reveal, or line that would make your theater go absolutely silent or explode with cheers?

I think exploring Dr. Doom’s philosophy could make this movie stand out. He’s always been one of those characters who believes he’s doing the right thing, even when his methods cross the line. If the story takes time to show that perspective instead of just making him a standard villain, RDJ could really bring something powerful to the role. What made Endgame work so well was the buildup. We had multiple movies that led us there and gave that final battle real weight. With Secret Wars, we’re heading into uncharted territory since we don’t know exactly how much setup there will be or how they’ll handle all the timelines and characters. That uncertainty is exciting, but it also makes me wonder if it can all fit into one film or if it should be spread across two to give it the time it deserves. I’m also curious how deep they’ll go with the variants and returning characters. Bringing back some of the earlier Fant4stic crew would be a great touch. I have a feeling they’re going to connect the eras. If not in this movie, then definitely in the next one.

It has to be Sinners and Weapons so far. I also enjoyed Thunderbolts.

Thank you! I didn't know there was a forum, but I'm happy to be a part of it!

Mine were definitely my old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures, the originals from when I was a kid. I got them when they first came out. They went missing for decades and I actually found them again a few years ago. Then last December we had a house fire and somehow those figures were one of the few things I managed to save. They still smell like the fire even after nearly a year, but I couldn't let them go. I still subscribe to the TMNT comics and grab anything turtle related I can find. Honestly, I'm surprised I don't have a TMNT tattoo yet 😂 Those turtles pretty much raised me. 🐢💚
