Ramble of the month November 2023: 90’s MCU phase 4 – The Secret Wars, the Defenders and putting French and Saunders in a comic book film

As we come into the first of our last two monthly rambles for 2023, I’ve decided to go back to unveiling more of my alternate superhero film franchises. I could go for more topical issues, but those will likely stress me out if I go too in-depth on them, and by sheer happenstance, episodes I’m presently reviewing from the last season of Star Trek: Voyager will cover these a bit. So, that being the case, I figure I might as well close out 2024 by going for subjects I can enjoy talking about instead of anything winding me up.

By now, I’m sure anyone reading these rambles on a regular basis will know the drill, but for any new readers, let’s recap. At the moment, I’m showcasing two hypothetical superhero film universes. One is a DC film universe where Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins was the launch point instead of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, the other is a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that begins from 1992 instead of 2008. The change in time period means Marvel would have all their film rights still to hand (those weren’t sold until 1995), and a lot of casting and story choices would change because the source material would be different. To complete the re-cap, let’s check out the titles of films in the first three phases and do a quick plot summary.

Phase 1:

1992: Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man

1993: Thor, Spider-Man, Ant-Man & The Wasp

1994: Captain America: Fantastic Four 2, Iron Man 2

1995: X-Men, Avengers, Daredevil

Phase 2:

1996: Spider-Man 2, Thor: Land of Enchantment, Silver Surfer

1997: Hulk vs Wolverine, Fantastic Four: Doomsday, Iron Man 3

1998: Captain America: Society of Serpents, Daredevil 2, X-Men 2

1999: Avengers 2, Spider-Man 3, Doctor Strange

Phase 3:

2000: Fantastic Four: World War III, Thor: Ragnarök, Daredevil 3

2001: Hulk: Rise of the Leader, X-Men: Fall of the Mutants, Avengers: Under Siege

2002: Doctor Strange 2, The Captain, Spider-Man 4

2003: Captain Britain, Fantastic Four: Enter the Negative Zone, Ghost Rider

Phase 1, as most could probably surmise, is very much about establishing the MCU and its characters. The Fantastic Four are done first to mirror their points of distinction from other superhero groups that hold true in the comics, with the Avengers and X-Men coming later on. Phase 2 then expands and develops those characters and brings about an early mantle change, with Tony Stark going down the route of alcoholism as in the comics and Rhodey having to become Iron Man, again as in the comics. We also see the death of Gwen Stacy, having built up to Norman Osborn becoming the Green Goblin in the films instead of rushing that arc in one film. Phase 3 then brings out a lot more of the third-film-loss trope we know from the real MCU. At the same time, we also get a lot of new characters introduced, bringing us to the slate for Phase 4.

Phase 4:

2004: Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Secret Wars: Part I

2005: Excalibur, Defenders, Ghost Rider 2

2006: X-Factor, Secret Wars: Part II, Heroes For Hire

2007: Namor the Submariner, Doctor Strange 3, Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin

With this phase, you can see we’re really trying a lot more new titles compared to past phases. This is because much of the cast of the MCU to date is tied up in the events of the two Secret Wars films, thereby leaving a lot of room for other characters and teams to be given the spotlight. How does this all pan out in practice? Well, let’s start looking at the films of phase 4, beginning with Black Panther…

Black Panther (2004) Directed by Tim Story

T'Challa/Black Panther = Chadwick Boseman

Shuri = Tatyana Ali

Ramonda = Alfre Woodard

T'Chaka = Courtney B. Vance

W'Kabi = Chiwetel Ejiofor

Okoye = Nia Long

Zuri = Joseph Marcell

Ulysses Klaue/Klaw = Andy Serkis

M'Baku = Idris Elba

As those who read my August ramble will know, my alternative MCU introduces the Black Panther via the Fantastic Four film World War III, in homage to the comics version of the character having the same debut. However, just as the real MCU version went on to a solo film after getting his cinematic debut, so too does this version of T’Challa. I’ve kept Chadwick Boseman in the main role as he could still play an adult King T’Challa back in 2004. The same can’t be said for Letitia Wright with Shuri, and some other roles would also need shifting around, hence the case above. The only other actor from the real MCU to retain their casting is Andy Serkis as Klaw. As for the plot, it’s strictly T’Challa versus Klaw for him murdering T’Challa’s father years earlier, so there’s less focus on challenge rites in this film.

I’ve also retained the real MCU’s depiction of M’Baku as a voice of dissent to T’Challa’s rule, but with the full intention of taking him full villain at a later point. As for why no Killmonger, I wanted to build up to him and not use up all of T’Challa’s most notable foes in one film. For direction, I felt it was important that it still be a Black person in the director’s chair, so from the directors active at this time, I picked Tim Story, the man who directed Fox’s Fantastic Four films. The first of those wasn’t too bad, and with a better studio to work with, I bet Story could do a good job on a property like Black Panther.

Captain Marvel (2004) Directed by Roland Emmerich

Mar-Vell/Captain Marvel = Jude Law

Yon-Rogg = Colin Salmon

Carol Danvers/Ms Marvel = Melissa Joan Hart

Ronan The Accuser = Ray Stevenson

Zarek = Avery Brooks

Talos = Dominic West

Emperor Dorek VII = Ray Winstone

Empress R'klll = Teri Hatcher

Now for the comic book neophytes wondering why Carol Danvers isn’t Captain Marvel, this is one of those plot-points that is only supported by a more recent selection of Marvel’s comic-book lore. The original Captain Marvel within Marvel’s source material was the Kree character named Mar-Vell, who was gender-flipped and played by Annette Benning in the 2019 Captain Marvel film, leaving Jude Law to play the villainous Kree Yon-Rogg. Carol Danvers was first turned into Ms Marvel following events in the original Captain Marvel comics, only to cease using the title after loosing her original powers to the mutant known as Rogue. Following adventures with the X-Men, Carol Danvers gained new powers and joined a group of space pirates called the Starjammers as Binary. Later, she came back to Earth and went back to her old Ms Marvel codename, then her old Air Force callsign of Warbird, before finally becoming Captain Marvel.

Now while I can’t say precisely when Carol became CM in the comics, I do know it’s sometime in the 2010’s, so a 2004 film won’t support her being the first Captain Marvel. Instead, this film goes back to the early comics and makes Mar-Vell the original title-holder, telling a fairly simple first contact story with Carol as the audience POV character. Rather than go for any obvious film actress of this time period, I decided it would be cool to see Melissa Joan Hart take on the role of Carol Danvers opposite Jude Law. We then have a mix of great actors, including Trek alumni in the form of Avery Brooks (DS9’s Captain Sisko). As we’re going down a first contact route without any Trek overtones, I opted for Independence Day’s Roland Emmerich to helm this one.

Secret Wars Part I (2004) Directed by Steven Spielberg

Steve Rogers/Captain America = Brad Pitt

Thor = Dolph Lundgren

Janet Van Dyne/Wasp = Catherine Zeta Jones

Clint Barton/Hawkeye = Kevin Costner

Vision = Casper Van Dien

Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff = Kate Beckinsale

Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff = Robert Sean Leonard

James Rhodes/Iron Man II = Samuel L Jackson

Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk = Lucy Lawless

Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic = Tom Hanks

Johnny Storm/Human Torch = David Spade

Ben Grimm/Thing = Bryan Cranston

Crystal = Dina Meyer

Storm/Ororo Monroe = Halle Berry

Polaris/Lorna Dane = Jeri Ryan

Havok/Alex Summers = Kevin Bacon

Wolverine/Logan = Tom Cruise

Peter Rasputin/Colossus = Henry Cavill

Remi LeBeau/Gambit = Zachary Levi

Peter Parker/Spider-Man = Wil Weaton

Beyonder = Ian McShane

Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom = Goran Višnjić

Wizard/Bentley Whitford = Alan Rukk

Trapster/Pete Petruski = Eddie Jemison

Sandman/Flint Marko = Dwayne Johnson

Titania/Mary MacPherson = Amy Christine Dumas

Electro/Max Dillon = Eddie Cahill

Lizard/Dr Curt Connors = Dylan Baker

Magneto = Ian McKellan

Calisto = Carrie-Anne Moss

Sunder = Kevin Nash

Sabretooth = Tyler Mane

Pyro = Hugh Jackman

Mentallo/Marvin Flumm = Brad Dourif

So, what is Secret Wars? Well, there’s been at least three instances of stories with this title in Marvel’s history, at least going by the comics. The original was a mini-series in the mid-1980’s, where a being known as the Beyonder created a planet called Battleworld from pieces of other planets (including a suburb of Denver, Colorado for reasons I can’t totally fathom). He then transported a selection of Marvel’s heroes and villains to Battleworld and offered to grant whichever side won whatever they desired. Despite a brief usurpation of the Beyonder’s powers by Doom, the heroes apparently won and returned home. The second story was Secret Wars II, in which the Beyonder went to Earth and assumed human form in an effort to further his understanding of life in our universe. Frustrated by what he learned, the Beyonder almost destroyed reality.

More recently, around 2015, there was a new Secret Wars which was similar to the first mini-series, but involved some kind of multiversal crossover, the apparent idea being to amalgamate some of Marvel’s other comic book continuities like the Ultimates comics with the main Marvel comics continuity. For this film and its sequel, I’d be looking to do an adaptation of the original, but with greater emphasis on the war aspect. In this case, the Beyonder pulls off the same creation of Battleworld, but like the adaptation of the story in Spider-Man: The Animated Series, he gives the super-villains a little head-start to better challenge the heroes.

Now the bulk of the cast for this film is carried over from past MCU films in my alternative continuity, but there are a few new characters in the mix. In particular, Colossus and Gambit make their first MCU appearances, having both joined Storm’s band of X-Men since the events of Fall of the Mutants in the last phase, with Colossus being a returning former student whereas Gambit is a total newcomer. I chose Cavill for Colossus because he can look the part and is capable of doing other accents than his own, while Zachary Levi gets the role of Gambit due to being a native of Louisiana, not to mention he once played Fandrall the Dashing in Thor: The Dark World. As such, I can easily see Levi modifying his hair and accent just slightly to pull off a perfect Gambit.

On the villain side, the Frightful Four, Lizard, Electro and Mentallo are all new additions, the last character being part of Magneto’s Brotherhood for this film. Indeed, as Magneto ends up among the heroes to start with, Mentallo and Calisto set up a mutant-ruled fiefdom on Battleworld in this film, and for Magneto, the question asked of his character is whether he’ll tear it down or try to take it over. As the films will also be taking the war part more seriously, don’t expect the heroes to all walk ok by the end. This is also why Steven Spielberg gets to direct; who better than the director of Saving Private Ryan to handle superheroes having to get into a war?

Excalibur (2005): Directed by Christopher Nolan

Brian Braddock Jr./Captain Britain = Jamie Bamber

Betsy Braddock/Psylocke = Lena Headey

Meggan = Sienna Miller

Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler = Daniel Brühl

Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat = Selma Blair

Banshee/Sean Cassidy = Liam Neeson

Courtney Ross = Rosamund Pike

DI Dai Thomas = Mark Lewis Jones

Detective Kate Fraser = Kate Winslet

Dr Moira Mactaggert = Olivia Williams

Mojo = Jim Carrey

Major Domo = Hugh Laurie

Spiral = Eva Green

Gatecrasher = Dawn French

Yap (voice-acting) = Jennifer Saunders

Scatterbrain = Clémence Poésy

Thug = Donal Logue

Ferro = Jason Isaacs

China Doll = Miranda Richardson

Longshot = Ben Foster

Alison Blaire/Dazzler = Julia Styles

Having given Captain Britain a solo film and scattered the X-Men in the last phase, the timing would then be right in this phase to bring about the British off-shoot of the X-Men that is Excalibur. As this MCU has yet to uncork any time-travel for its films, we substitute Rachel Summers of the original Excalibur comics for Brian Braddock’s twin sister Psylocke in the film version. At the same time, while Banshee does appear in the film, he’s taken out early and is then kept to the side-lines.

However, the plot still tries to echo the original Excalibur graphic novel; the interdimensional tyrant Mojo is hunting someone, and uses Gatecrasher and her group, known as Technet, to grab them. With Rachel Summers not being used, Mojoverse native and rebel hero Longshot is instead the target, along with his mutant girlfriend Dazzler. When the hunt spills over to Britain, Captain Britain, his sister and his girlfriend team up with Nightcrawler and Shadowcat of the X-Men on an inter-dimensional rescue mission, and thus Excalibur is born.

Casting-wise, everyone down as far as Detective Kate Fraser is reprising from past films. From Dr Moira MacTaggart on down, the cast is new to this film. Much like with Captain Britain’s solo film, I’d want a lot of British talent to be involved, which accounts for most of the casting choices. However, since a lot of the characters come from another dimension, there can be more flexibility regarding accents. This accounts for why the likes of Jim Carrey, Donal Logue, Ben Foster and Julia Styles enter into the film. I also cast French and Saunders here, though in a somewhat atypical fashion. Here, Dawn French would likely be in either a mo-cap suit or heavy make-up to play Gatecrasher, whereas Jennifer Saunders would be voicing a small talking creature named Yap, who is usually clinging to Gatecrasher’s shoulder. Add in the likes of Hugh Laurie and Miranda Richardson, both alumni of the Blackadder sit-coms, and we have some real British comedy gold in the line-up.

Direction-wise, it’s back to Christopher Nolan to keep the film British behind the scenes as well as in front of camera.

Defenders (2005) Directed by Sam Raimi

Dr Stephen Strange = Johnny Depp

Namor McKenzie/The Submariner = Christian Bale

Bruce Banner/Hulk = John Cusack

Silver Surfer = David Wenham

Valkyrie = Diane Kruger

Kyle Richmond/Nighthawk = Josh Duhamel

Patsy Walker/Hellcat = Mena Suvari

Wong = Will Yun Lee

Clea = Keira Knightley

Yandroth = Sullivan Stapleton

The original Defenders comics revolved around a superhero “non-team” that would unite when the need arose, but lacked a standing headquarters, charter, etc. like the Avengers had. This made the group something of a haven for the outsiders who formed it, namely Doctor Strange, Namor the Sub-Mariner and the Hulk, with the Silver Surfer becoming an honourary founding member later on. The team also gained a few more dedicated members in the forms of the Asgardian Valkyrie, wealthy industrialist Kyle Richmond, and superhero fan girl turned superhero Hellcat. This film basically shows the Defenders forming against Doctor Strange’s one-time foe Yandroth, in part because Yandroth unleashes some chaos while many other heroes are missing due to the events of Secret Wars.

Only the top four Defenders, plus Wong and Clea, are retained from past films in this MCU. The rest of the cast are new additions, but really, it’s combining the likes of Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, John Cusack and David Wenham into the core of the team that’s the real excitement. Mind you, the rest of the cast are all well-known and highly skilled actors as well. Direction-wise, I figured that since Strange and Yandroth are both on the mystic horror side of the Marvel world, a horror director of note like Sam Raimi would be good.

Ghost Rider 2 (2005) Directed by Tim Burton

Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider = Connor Trinneer

Roxanne Simpson = Jessica Alba

Mephistopheles = Jeffery Combs

Orb/Drake Shannon = Michael Rooker

Blackout/Ray Carrigan = Johnny Whitworth

Karen Stirling = Jamie Alexander

Cynthia Randolph = Kirsten Dunst

Senator Stirling = Tim Robbins

Mark Crane = Nicholas Cage

Closing out 2005’s portion of this alternate MCU is a sequel for Johnny Blaze’s iteration of Ghost Rider, with Tim Burton back at the helm for obvious reasons. Only the top three roles are retained from film 1, while the rest is fresh casting. Story-wise, it’s a bit of a mash-up of a few different elements from the original Ghost Rider run into a single narrative. Following the events of film 1, Blaze is living a bit of a drifter’s existence as he tries to deal with the demon spirit within him always taking over. His girlfriend Roxanne is searching for him, and her scenes in the film are basically a kind of “will-she-won’t-she” break from the A-plot.

Said A-Plot is that a small town is being terrorised by a cult that has claimed the life of the son of a prominent senator. When Blaze arrives, it isn’t long before his flaming alter ego is up to his fiery skull in their business, resulting in cult leader Mark Crane making a deal with Mephistopheles to imbue two of his henchmen with demonic powers. Also caught in the mix are the senator’s daughter and a visiting reporter, each of whom is attracted to Johnny and reacts differently when he becomes the Ghost Rider.

X-Factor (2006) Directed by LeVar Burton

Cyclops/Scott Summers = Patrick Swayze

Jean Grey = Milla Jovovich

Warren Worthington III/Death/Archangel = Neil Patrick Harris

Beast/Hank McCoy = Alec Baldwin

Robert Drake/Iceman = Michael Weatherley

Angelica Jones = Lindsey Lohan

Xi'an Coy Manh = Katie Leung

Julio Richter = Alfonso Herrera

En Sabar Nur/Apocalypse = Faran Tahir

Plague/Pestilence = Gates McFadden

Caliban/Death = Joe Pantoliano

Autumn Rolfson/Famine = Bryce Dallas Howard

War = Joel Kinnaman

Raven Darkholme/Mystique = Connie Nielsen

As 2006 begins, we get another X-Men off-shoot, this time focusing on the original X-Men as the comics reckon things becoming X-Factor. The team is given some very different origins this time round, but it’s still the classic team membership fans of the original X-Factor comics know. In the film, Warren has lost his wings following injuries sustained in the events of the X-Men: Fall of the Mutants film. Consequently, he is duped into becoming part of the Horsemen of Apocalypse as the mutant known as Apocalypse rises to attack humanity. The rest of the X-Men alumni (Cyclops, Jean, Iceman and Beast) band together with encouragement from a government operative who is really the mutant shape-shifter Mystique, plus a trio of X-students currently in the team’s charge.

After the five mutants of X-Factor, we get mostly new characters to this MCU and thus a lot of new faces. In terms of character selection, that’s mostly about trying to honour the comics when it comes to the Horsemen, since only the 90’s animated series has ever done so with these villains. The whole original idea of the Horsemen was to evoke their biblical counter-parts, so anything not doing that isn’t doing the job right, at least not for the team’s original incarnation. Plague and Caliban, as former members of the Morlocks, are reprised roles from X-Men: Fall of the Mutants, while Famine and War come into the film new. As for working in Mystique, that’s someone we’ll certainly see in future films. Direction-wise, I like calling on Trek alumni to direct given some of the thematic overlaps between X-lore and Trek, hence my selection of Levar Burton.

Secret Wars Part II (2006) Directed by Steven Spielberg

Steve Rogers/Captain America = Brad Pitt

Thor = Dolph Lundgren

Janet Van Dyne/Wasp = Catherine Zeta Jones

Clint Barton/Hawkeye = Kevin Costner

Vision = Casper Van Dien

Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff = Kate Beckinsale

James Rhodes/Iron Man II = Samuel L Jackson

Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk = Lucy Lawless

Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic = Tom Hanks

Johnny Storm/Human Torch = David Spade

Ben Grimm/Thing = Bryan Cranston

Crystal = Dina Meyer

Storm/Ororo Monroe = Halle Berry

Polaris/Lorna Dane = Jeri Ryan

Wolverine/Logan = Tom Cruise

Peter Rasputin/Colossus = Henry Cavill

Remi LeBeau/Gambit = Zachary Levi

Peter Parker/Spider-Man = Wil Weaton

Beyonder = Ian McShane

Victor Von Doom/Doctor Doom = Goran Višnjić

Wizard/Bentley Whitford = Alan Rukk

Sandman/Flint Marko = Dwayne Johnson

Titania/Mary MacPherson = Amy Christine Dumas

Electro/Max Dillon = Eddie Cahill

Lizard/Dr Curt Connors = Dylan Baker

Magneto = Ian McKellan

Calisto = Carrie-Anne Moss

Sabretooth = Tyler Mane

Pyro = Hugh Jackman

Mentallo/Marvin Flumm = Brad Dourif

Zsaji = Eva Mendes

By the time Spielberg brings us part 2 of Secret Wars, we’ve lost Quicksilver, ideals are getting blurred and our heroes are struggling, which isn’t helped by Doom managing to usurp the powers of the Beyonder. When this brings an unexpected peace to Battleworld, the heroes face the question of whether or not they should try and challenge Doom, assuming they can. The film will also honour the original comics by making it the origin of the Venom symbiote, something no adaptation has ever done. The one other change is the incorporation of the alien one-shot character Zsaji from the original Secret Wars, though in keeping with taking the war more seriously, she has a stronger role than just being a random healer and would-be love interest to Johnny Storm or Colossus.

Heroes For Hire (2006) Directed by Paul McGuigan

Luke Cage = Tyrese Gibson

Danny Rand/Iron Fist = Neil Jackson

Shang Chi = Garrett Wang

Misty Knight = Rosario Dawson

Colleen Wing = Olivia Munn

Jessica Jones = Christina Ricci

Willis Stryker = Bokeem Woodbine

Harold Meachum = Bill Pullman

Davos/Steel Serpent = Kevin Durand

Batroc = Georges St-Pierre

Scimitar = Jason Mamoa

Clay Quartermain = Patrick Wilson

Daisy Dugan = Hayley Atwell

Zebidiah Killgrave/Purple Man = Tom McCamus

Most of the characters Marvel and Netflix put in the Defenders streaming show would originally have been members of, or been acquainted with, the little-known Heroes for Hire group, primarily formed in the comics by Luke Cage, Iron First and Misty Knight. This film works in a few more street-level members, including Shang-Chi, Colleen Wing and Jessica Jones. The team consists of various for-hire vigilantes and volunteers who are trying to keep the streets of New York safe following the apparent retirement of Daredevil. When an enclave of organised criminals attempts to eliminate them, SHIELD agents Quartermain and Dugan reach out to unite the heroes into a team.

This is a new film and new cast, with some roles leaping readily to mind while others have taken a bit more thought to select. Again, I’ve gone for at least one Trek alumni by picking Garrett Wang of Voyager fame to play Shang-Chi, and I’ve also looked to sci-fi series Mutant X for another bit of casting. Tom McCamus, who played Mason Eckhart in that show, takes up the role of Killgrave for this film, though the character appears only in flashbacks, as I feel that’s sufficient for the film’s plot to showcase where Jessica is mentally and emotionally as the team comes together. Direction-wise, I picked Paul McGuigan based on the work he did on the film Lucky Number Slevin.

Namor The Submariner (2007) Directed by Gore Verbinski

Namor McKenzie/The Submariner = Christian Bale

General Krang = Tim Curry

Lady Dorma = Katie Holmes

Vashti = Naseeruddin Shah

Attuma = Danny Hutson

Llyra = Rachel Leigh Cook

Dr Walter Newell/Stingray = Rider Strong

Kicking off the 2007 films that conclude this MCU’s phase four is a solo entry for Namor the Sub-Mariner, who like Black Panther got his introduction via Fantastic Four: World War III in recognition of his first Marvel appearance (the character previously having existed under the company’s pre-1960’s name of Timely Comics). Having also appeared in the Defenders film earlier in this phase, this solo film has Namor return to Atlantis to find his throne under threat by a coup, involving the Nemurian Llyra and a traitor from within his imperial court. The film includes at least two other characters who have betrayed or openly opposed Namor in the comics to keep fans guessing and work in a little defiance of expectation. The film also works in another undersea superhero in the form of Stingray to give audiences a POV character for delving into Namor’s world.

Namor, Krang and Lady Dorma are reprised roles for this film, while the rest of the cast is new. For direction, I decided to look into the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise for directors with experience of filming anything at sea with fantastical elements, and based on this chose Gore Verbinski as he directed the entire original trilogy of that franchise.

Doctor Strange 3 (2007) Directed by Sam Raimi

Dr Stephen Strange = Johnny Depp

Wong = Will Yun Lee

Clea = Keira Knightley

Jericho Drumm/Brother Voodoo = Doug E. Doug

Valkyrie = Diane Kruger

Baron Karl Mordo = Michael Dorn

Dormammu = Bernard Hill

Umar = Ruth Wilson

Dweller-In-Darkness = Colin Firth

In this third and final solo film for Doctor Strange, our title hero tries to help his fellow Defender Valkyrie acclimate to life on Earth, and is also visited by fellow sorcerer Brother Voodoo. The time he devotes to his guests puts a strain on his romantic relationship with Clea, but when Baron Mordo returns with the backing of Dormammu once more, battle takes precedence. However, the battle is not all it seems, as Dormammu’s sister Umar and the mysterious Dweller-In-Darkness are lurking in the shadows. By the film’s end, someone will have to be sacrificed to keep Earth safe from a grave mystic peril.

A lot of the casting is retained from prior films, but Brother Voodoo, Umar and DID are all new roles. Ruth Wilson and Colin Firth are both chosen for the gravitas their villain roles need, while Doug E. Doug is my choice for Brother Voodoo based on the more serious moments he had at times when playing Sanka in Cool Runnings. For direction, I think it’s a good idea to stick with Sam Raimi on this one to keep things consistent with the Defenders film that precedes this one.

Iron Man: Enter The Mandarin (2007) Directed by Jon Favreau

Tony Stark/Iron Man = Tom Selleck

James Rhodes/Iron Man II/War Machine = Samuel L. Jackson

Justin Hammer = Christopher Lee

Bethany Cabe = Julia Roberts

The Mandarin/Xin Xhang = Chow Yun-Fat

Arthur Parks/Living Laser = Josh Dallas

Whitney Frost/Madame Masque = Alice Eve

Boris Bullski/Titanium Man = Alan Tudyk

Douglas Scott/Razorfist = Joe Manganiello

Kathy Dare = Cameron Diaz

So, let’s recap what we’ve had by way of Iron Man lore in this alternate MCU. The first two IM films are directed by Steven Spielberg with Tom Selleck playing Iron Man, dealing with similar story arcs to the first two films of the real MCU, prior to forming the Avengers in a team-up film under director Andrew Davis. IM3 then shows Stark fall victim to his alcoholism and Samuel L Jackson’s Rhodey taking up the Iron Man mantle, with Sam Raimi directing. After that, Rhodey’s Iron Man features in a second Avengers film under Davis and the Secret Wars two-parter with Spielberg. Here, we get the director of the real MCU’s first two Iron Man movies on hand to guide a film showcasing the comeback trail of Tony Stark and James Rhodes becoming War Machine, all to face Iron Man’s arch-foe the Mandarin.

For this film, a lot of things are different. First, while the Mandarin has his proper ten rings from the comics, he is still developed beyond a stereotype, being presented as a Chinese businessman first and foremost who is using alien tech rings to try and conquer what his corporate efforts cannot. He avoids some of his comic counterpart’s more flamboyant attire, but nonetheless has a fondness for China’s dynastic era and opposes its modern-day government. Second, we’re done with Happy and Pepper, and while Bethany Cabe is retained from IM3, we also include the insane stalker girlfriend Kathy Dare for the purpose of misdirecting the fans. After all, if we’re not doing it with the Mandarin, we might as well do it somewhere.

And that concludes our look into phase 4 of our alternate MCU. Next month, we’ll check phase 4 of the alternate DC movie universe. Until then, ta-ta for now.

Các cầu thủ sẽ tập luyện với đội U23 của Man City với khả năng tham gia với đội một trước trận tranh Community Shield với Liverpool. Một sự vắng mặt khác là trung vệ Aymeric Laporte , người được cho là đã không thể gia nhập đội hình du đấu hè vì vấn đề thể lực.

Washington Nationals-St. Louis Cardinals Series Preview

10.11.19-Anibal Sanchez RHP (11-8) 3.85 ERA Vs. Miles Mikolas RHP (9-14) 4.16 ERA

10.12.19-TBA Vs. Adam Wainwright RHP (14-10) 4.19 ERA

10.14.19 Jack Flaherty RHP (11-8) 2.75 ERA Vs. TBA

10.15.19-Dakota Hudson RHP (16-7) 3.35 ERA Vs. TBA

10.16.19-

10.18.19-

10.19.19-

The Nationals At A Glance- The Nationals went on quite the run in the second half of the season. They went (46-27) and rode it to a National League Wild-Card spot. The Nats rallied late in the Wild Card Game to beat the Brewers on an error by Trent Grisham. The Nationals were heavy underdogs in the National League Division Series against the Dodgers. Washington went behind (2-1) in the series and won Game 4 to head back to Los Angeles for a crucial Game 5. Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto hit solo homers off Clayton Kershaw to tie the game and sent it to extra innings. In the tenth inning, Howie Kendrick hit a grand slam to stun the Dodgers and help the Nats advance. Washington now faces St. Louis in the National League Championship Series. Juan Soto has hit 6-for-22 with two homers and six RBI’s in the playoffs. Anthony Rendon has a .350 average with a homer and five RBI’s in the postseason. Ryan Zimmerman has also added some big hits in October. Kurt Suzuki left Game 5 of the NLDS after getting hit by a pitch. The ball ricocheted off his arm and hit his face. He will likely be on the roster for the NLCS. Stephen Strasburg has a 2.40 ERA in 15 posseason innings. Max Scherzer has a 2.77 ERA in thirteen innings. Daniel Hudson has not allowed a run in five innings in the playoffs. He also has two saves out of the bullpen.

The Cardinals At A Glance- The Cardinals were a solid team all season long. They finished the second half with a (47-27) record and won the National League Central Division. The Cardinals like the Nationals were down (1-2) in the Division Series. Yadier Molina tied Game 4 with an RBI single in the eighth and won it in the 10th with a walk-off sacrifice fly. The Cardinals forced a fifth game and beat up on the Braves 13-1 on Wednesday night. Paul Goldschmidt and Marcell Ozuna each had a .429 average with two homers in the NLDS. Tommy Edman hit 6-for-19 (.316) in the NLDS. Jack Flaherty pitched two nice ballgames in the Division Series. He held the Braves to four runs in 13 innings. Adam Wainwright tossed 7 2/3 scoreless innings in Game 3 on Sunday. He looked like his old dominant self. Carlos Martinez allowed six runs in 3 1/3 innings and that’s a problem for the Cardinals closer. He needs to iron things out for the Cards to reach the World Series. Andrew Miller, John Brebbia, and Giovanny Gallegos each threw two scoreless innings out of the bullpen.

What To Watch For- The Cardinals were (5-2) against the Nationals in 2019. The Cards won three out of four games in DC in late-April and won two out of three games in September at Busch Stadium. Anibal Sanchez is (2-4) with a 3.44 ERA in eight games against the Cardinals. Matt Wieters has two career homers off Sanchez. Miles Mikolas is (2-2) with a 4.65 ERA in five games versus the Nats. Adam Wainwright is (10-4) with a 3.10 ERA in seventeen games against the Nationals. Ryan Zimmerman has homered off him twice. Jack Flaherty went five innings and allowed one run in his only career start against the Nats. Dakota Hudson is (2-1) with a 2.93 ERA in six games against the Nationals. Brian Dozier is back in the NLCS for the second straight year. I don’t really care who wins this series. If the Nats win, it would be nice to see Brian Dozier, Fernando Rodney, and Kurt Suzuki reached the World Series. I don’t mind seeing the Cardinals back in the World Series either.

Continuing with our wide-ranging survey of creators from every end of the business on what happened and what’s coming. A lot of people who responded e this year talked about the development of a new distribution system or channel for comics as being a big story for 2019. It seem there is a lot of dissatisfaction with how comics are sold these days, no duh. What do you think? Is there a savior on the horizon? You can check out the other parts of the survey here.

Kwanza Osajyefo, writer

2019 Projects: H1 Comics from Humanoids and WHITE, the sequel to BLACK

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? The growth of the graphic novels among titles that don’t perform as well in the direct market.

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? Comic distribution becoming more multi-channel along with the direct market

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? Figuring out what is going on in Paper Girls

Who inspired you in 2018? Everyone, I think so many of our peers have been operating on ten this year. I think the flood of comics content into the mainstream has really gotten us fired up, not to get our work into other mediums but to imagine on a larger scale.

Tony Shenton. Sales rep and consultant

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? The death of Stan Lee

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? The ongoing legal battle Cody Pikrodt has started vs. small presses and creators

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? Not a guilty pleasure at all: RUN from Abrams.

Gary Tyrrell, Blogger

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? Spike Trotman. She’s tearing up the industry with Iron Circus, and she’ll be launching a YA imprint — she’s making it so a lot of future superstars have a place to start their careers.

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? Raina Telgemeier’s next book will have an initial print run of one million. That’s mindbending.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? Perp walks of high federal officials and Trump family members. So many perp walks.

Who inspired you in 2018? Pat Race — he and his team have put together something extraordinarily special in the Alaska Robotics Comics Camp, and it’s creating new relationships and creative networks among comics creators at all stages of their careers. The future will remember it as equivalent to the Algonquin Round Table.

Mariah McCourt, Creator

2019 Projects: STITCHED #3 and a new series for AHOY! comics

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? That comics are for everyone, stories matter, and so does representation.

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? Hopefully more focus on amazing creators, the diversity of content, and the continuing impact and relevancy of the medium.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? No guilty pleasures here, I’m looking forward to seeing all the new books in the works!

Joe Field, Retailer

2019 Projects: A new space to expand Flying Colors for events and sales

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? There was no one biggest story in comics. It was a thousand shards of glass rather than just one big picture window.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? Cruise to the Edge, a prog rock themed cruise in February. No cell phones, no worries, just some great people having a peace party at sea.

Who inspired you in 2018? My wife Libby continues to be my inspiration. We celebrate our 40th anniversary in late February (so good then, even better now). The non-profit work she does in helping women with crisis pregnancies while also managing Flying Colors’ back office and reveling in her role as a grandmother is so inspiring to me.

Amy Chu, writer

2019 Projects: Summit (Lion Forge), Sea Sirens with Janet Lee (Viking Press), Pros & Cons (Dark Horse)

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? Kid’s graphic novels are $$$ – Dave Pilkey 3 million print run for his fifth Dog Man book; Raina Telgemeier 1 million for Guts

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? Kid’s graphic novels

Glenn Hauman, publisher at ComicMix, designated victim of “They Keep Killing Glenn”

2019 Projects: What 2019 projects am I working on that I can talk about? More omnibus editions for GrimJack, Soulsearchers & Company, and Deadbeats, and new… oh, dammit, I can’t talk about that yet. Arrgh.

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? The passing of Stan Lee. We all knew it was going to happen someday, and yet… we all thought we might get a pass on this one, you know?

And speaking of Marvel greats leaving: Bendis at DC.

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? The All-New, All-Different Stan Lee 2.0!

And the bankruptcy of projects intended to get money from C*****gate people.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? The resolution of certain legal proceedings.

Thomas Ragon, Publisher

2019 Projects:

Roman Muradov’s next book “The Adventures of Munich in Marcel Duchamp”.

Thierry Smolderen & Alexandre Clérisse’s (whose “Atom Empire” & “Diabolik Summer” are translated or about to be by IDW) next graphic Novel : “Une année sans Cthulhu” (A year without Cthulhu).

After Glenn Gould, Sandrine Revel’s book about Canadian painter Tom Thomson Two major sets of exhibitions, in chronological order : Blutch has several exhibitions throughout 2019 in Strasbourg, and we’re working on a monograph to be released early March. Joann Sfar will be exhibited at the Basel Cartoon Museum and Lucerne festival “Fumetto”.

Ron Wimberly’s “Prince of Cats” French edition.

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? Ron Wimberly’s LAAB #0 ; The French authors collective movement to obtain better social and economic conditions from both publishers and government.

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? Borja Gonzalez having a worldwide success with his THE BLACK HOLES.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? Discovering new excellent restaurants thanks to my job. Discovering new great bookstores thanks to my job.

Who inspired you in 2018? Blutch and Joann Sfar are always inspiring me, in many ways.

Nat Gertler, writer/publisher

2019 Projects: While my 2019 writing projects are for other people to announce, my first publishing project of the new year reflects on the 90th anniversary of the Great Depression by reprinting a book of cartoons by the great Otto Soglow, done during the depression.

Preview pages below.

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? The triumph of diversity against anti-diversity forces.

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? Good comics. It’s always good comics, and there are always good comics for the story to be about. All the industry games mean nothing without that.

Christian Beranek, Writer

2019 projects: Kelci Crawford and I will be wrapping up Validation and then moving forward with Tiny Unicorn. (See below) Also writing loads of prose stories.

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? Black Panther. I wish its box office success translated into more sales, however. We have to find a way to turn film audiences onto the source material.

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? A massive wave of quality comics bringing in new readers.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? Any time taken away from writing. I want to work as much as possible but know you need breaks. I plan on reading more books in the Foundation series. Looking forward to that show.

Who inspired you in 2018? Tony DiGerolamo. The guy is a writing machine and really understands the mechanics of storytelling. More companies should consider hiring him.

Sanika Phawde, Cartoonist

2019 Projects: My biggest project scheduled to be completed in 2019 is my newest graphic novel. The project is still untitled but it presents an autofiction story about the journey of learning to love myself, and learning to accept my body and sexuality, as a freshly adult immigrant in New York city .

The story communicates through mix-media drawings on location, memoir comics, sketchbook pages, illustrated poetry, and even a few instances of fold-out paper architecture.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? I am really looking forward to going back home to Mumbai after a year, and eating a Nescafe flavoured ice cream sandwich in the winter heat with my best friend, while sitting on the wall that keeps the Arabian sea out of the city.

Who inspired you in 2018? Julian Glander, Jaron Braxton, Veronica Lawlor, Nora Krug, Robert Sikoryak, Brian Rea, Alex Norris, Lizzo, Melissa Guerrero (practices activism through food), Janelle Monae

Christopher Butcher, TCAF Artistic Director & VIZ Media Editorial Consultant

2019 Projects: TCAF 2019 is gearing up and it’s going to have one of the strongest and most diverse guest lists in our history. It’s going to be a pretty amazing year to be there, whether you love kids comics, YA comics, Adult comics, North American or International Comics. We’re pretty hyped!

On the VIZ side of things, though there’s a ton still to be announced, several of the series I’ve had a hand in are starting or continuing into 2019. Look out for the YA LGBTQ series “That Blue Sky Feeling” to get its 2nd and 3rd and final volume next year, the amazing/disturbing BEASTARS will start next year (like if Zootopia were a little more food-chain accurate?), and the recently-debuted gorgeous SF title Ran and The Grey World will start to turn some heads.

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? That’s tough. The industry is so fragmented at this point, that stories that were huge in one area barely made a ripple in others. Straddling graphic novel publishing, manga publishing, and with a toe still in superhero publishing, it’s amazing the times people would pull me aside and ask “So what was that about, exactly? All I saw was the hashtag…”

So… yeah I dunno. I think the biggest ‘story’ probably wasn’t written, but it was about the continued evolution of this industry as it happened. The house-cleaning and secret-revealing that needed to happen, some of the editorial attitudes around projects looking pretty terrible when exposed to the light of day, the continued vertical integration in licensed properties, all of it points to a maturing industry, which is both good and bad. More professionalism, but less room for the sort of fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants stuff that made comics very, very exciting about 10 years ago.

I think most folks involved will take ‘professionalism’ any day of the week though!

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? Pogs, baby! POGS!

No but seriously, I have no idea. There’s so much up in the air right now, 2019 is going to be bumpy for sure.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? If it’s not hurting anyone, then there’s no point in feeling guilty about pleasure. Enjoy yourselves, it’s tough out there. 🙂

Who inspired you in 2018? My husband, Andrew Woodrow-Butcher, who was enormously patient and supportive while I took risks and traveled around the world, all while working 60 hours a week making sure Canadian schools and libraries have the best comic collections in the world, re-opening the world’s first kids comic book store (Little Island Comics!), sending Canadians to comic festivals around the world, and of course, programming a big part of TCAF. He’s a constant inspiration to me, I’m lucky to have him.

Ben Towle, Cartoonist

2019 Projects: The main project I’ve been working on in 2018 is a non-fiction graphic novel for the new imprint Dead Reckoning, which specializes in comics about things historical and/or military-related.

The book’s called Four Fisted Tales and it’s a collection of real-life stories about animals used in combat.

Here’s a sample page:

And here’s an in-progress rough:

I’m also continuing to work on–albeit a lot more slowly–my book In the Weeds about cooking and playing rock music in the 1990’s. It’s my first foray into the great comics tradition of “funny animals” characters. Here’s an in-progress rough from that:

It probably seems like I’ve disappeared since Oyster War came out a few years back, but I’ve been hard at work on TWO books, I promise!

What was the biggest story in comics in 2018? That’s gotta be the announcement of not one, but TWO, forthcoming books from Raina Telgemeier. When the most highly-read and most popular cartoonist in North America announces a book, it’s a big flippin’ deal. TWO books in the same year is bonkers news.

What will be the biggest story in comics in 2019? OK…Well, it’s only a big story for ME, but I’m really excited about the upcoming D&Q Little Lulu reprint series. These are some of the best comics ever made and it’s going to be great to see them get the D&Q treatment starting in 2019.

What guilty pleasure (of any kind) are you looking forward to in 2019? I’m a huge Star Trek nerd and so I’m super-excited about whatever’s brewing with this new Picard show. Supposedly starting in 2019!

The Beat's Annual Creator Survey Part 4: with art from new projects by Amy Chu, Janet Lee, Roman Muradov, Otto Soglow, Ben Towle and more Continuing with our wide-ranging survey of creators from every end of the business on what happened and what's coming.

O Troféu HQMIX foi criado em 1988, pela dupla JAL e Gualberto Costa, no programa TV MIX, da TV Gazeta. O prêmio logo foi apadrinhado pelo então apresentador do programa, Serginho Groisman. A votação nacional é feita pela categoria dos desenhistas de HQs e Humor Gráfico, por meio da Associação dos Cartunistas do Brasil (ACB) e do Instituto Memorial das Artes Gráficas do Brasil (IMAG).

Apesar da inusitada pandemia que adiou diversos eventos culturais e outros tantos, o Troféu HQMIX, tradicional evento de valorização da produção de histórias em quadrinhos no Brasil, será realizado dia 12 de dezembro, em formato on-line, nas redes sociais do SESC, que apoia a realização há vários anos.

Foram 1.162 itens inscritos, em 32 categorias, para disputarem o troféu mais desejado dos quadrinhos. Jurados especialistas na área trabalharam durante quatro meses para analisar todos esses trabalhos e escolherem uma média de 10 indicados em cada um dos itens. Os vencedores sairão da votação nacional, no mês de outubro, pelos profissionais dos quadrinhos, entre editores e autores.

Declining Sales at Marvel?

With all the MCU movie being released, you’d think they’d act as advertising for the comic books. But according to this article, sales have been declining over at Marvel Comics.

http://io9.gizmodo.com/marvel-vp-blames-women-and-diversity-for-sales-slump-1793921500

One possible cause is “the crazy over-abundance of events and crossovers” and “In the past two years alone, there have been at least 12 events and crossovers.”

Coincidental that’s exactly why I stopped reading Marvel books. During the Aughts (2001-2010) there seems to be one cross over after another. You couldn't just read the books of your favorite characters because everything was tied in with everything else. I finally gave up and stopped buying Marvel all together. DC does too many Crossovers as well, but I was able to focus on the looks I liked.

Then there’s the stunts - a major character dies (when comic characters never really die) and the endless “number one” issues or "vs" infighting.

And it doesn’t help that Marcel’s CEO Isaac Perlmutter is a major Trump supporter. Frankly I don’t want the profits from the few Marvel comics I buy to wind up supporting the biggest fascist since the Red Skull .

Salut Lionel Je sais que tu lis cette chronique. Je sais aussi que tu l’attendais avec impatience. La voila. Bonne lecture.

Salut toi. Je sais que tu lis cette chronique. Je sais aussi que tu l’attendais avec impatience. La voila. Bonne lecture.

“Je n’aurais pas le plaisir de lire ma chronique dans La Plume à Bill mais je suis sûr qu’elle sera bien. Rigolote. Divertissante. Un peu comme les films avec mes super-héros”

Bonjour à toutes et à tous !

Après un excellent article sur IDRIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSS ELBAAAAAAAAA à lire ici

Je vous propose aujourd’hui la page wikiprsquedia de Stan The Man VS Wild Lee

Avant de commencer je tiens à préciser que je suis ultra-fan de Marvel (et plus particulièrement du MCU)

A la question: C’est quoi un ultra-fan ? C’est comme un fan mais ultra… ça veut dire qu’il est encore plus fan qu’un fan. Et la ou il y a des fans, il y des carottes !

En parlant de carotte…

BOUM ! Transition (aucun rapport avec les lunettes, même si les carottes sont bonnes pour la vue)

Je disais donc, en parlant de carottes, savez vous laquelle est celle des fans ? (cette phrase a été très compliqué à formuler et je ne suis même pas sur qu’elle soit correcte mais bon…on va dire que vous avez compris)

Je disais donc, en parlant de carottes, savez vous laquelle est celle des fans ?

Ce sont les films !

Mais bon comme c’est la page wikiprsquedia de Stan Lee je vais vous parlez de lui et pas de ces films. D’ailleurs ce ne sont pas ses films mais c’est une autre histoire.

Stan Lee déguisé en Hulk en avril 2018

Données clés à la concierge Nom de naissance Stanley Kubrick Martin Freeman Lieber (c’est presque comme Bieber mais en mieux. Et sans la mèche rebelle) Ali-as

Stan The Man (VS Wild)

Naissance 28 décembre 1922 (à 0 ans) à New York aux États-Unis Décès 12 novembre 2018 (à 95 ans) Dans la cité des Anges, et ça tombe bien parce que c’en était un. En Californie aux États-Unis Nationalité Américaine Professions

Scénariste de bande des cinés

Édiditeur, c’est comme un éditeur sauf que en fait c’est Edi qui dit Teur. ça n’a aucun sens mais je n’avais aucune raison de me priver de ce jeu de mots

Écrivain d’écrits pas vain

Producteur de courgettes et de cinéma (pour les courgettes on est pas sur mais pour le cinéma il parait qu’il à produit quelques films à succès)

Jan Clia Lee, Jan Cia Lee,(petites-filles) Jean Marcel dit Petit Jean et Henry-Victor dit La Mule (petit-fils)

Lee Lee (jeu de mots)

Pourquoi il est plus agréable de dormir sur Stan plutôt qu’avec des Stan ?

Parce que c’est un bon Lee !!!

Et que dormir en chaussure c’est pas super- agréable (super-agréable c’est un super-héros dont le pouvoir est d’être agréable en toutes circonstances. Même quand un gros c** le double dans la file d’attente ou quand on lui grille la priorité à l’intersection. ça n’a l’air de rien mais c’est vachement pratique quand tu habites Paris ou Marseille)

Aller c’est partie pour les vannes, blagues et jeux de mots !

Stanley Lieber dit Stan Lee. On ne sait pas pourquoi. Mais il dit Stan Lee.

La légende raconte qu’il aurait hérité des Stan Smith d’un prénommé Lee, un jeune asiatique qui partageait son lit les bancs de la FAC à ses côtés.

Quand on lui demandait d’ou lui venant ses belles chaussures il répondait, “c’est pas les miennes, c’est les Stan de Lee”

Petit à petit l’oiseau fait son nid et à force de se répéter le ”De” sauta et la phrase se transforma en “c’est pas les miennes, c’est les Stan Lee”

Petit à petit l’oiseau fait toujours son nid et à force de se répéter le début de la phrase il occulta (oui je parle comme maître Yoda) et la phrase donna “c’est les Stan Lee”

Petit à petit l’oiseau fini son nid et “c’est les” disparait.

Stan Lee était né !

Justement, né le 28 décembre 1922 d’un père et d’une mère, c’est dans un nouveau York qu’il fait ses premiers pas, qu’il dit pour la première fois ”papa” et qu’il fait son premier popo.

Il est mort.

Fin de la chronique.

Merci de l’avoir lu, à la semaine prochaine.

Bill

C’EST UNE BLAGUE !!!

Ne pas pars, j’ai passé 4 heures à rédiger cet article

Stan Lee, Stan Wawrinka ou Stan Smith

Stan Lee

Stan Wawrinka

Stan Smith

Le 12 novembre 2018 à Los Angeles il est décédé en écoutant un CD d’ACDC acheté à Saint Tropez. Mais je crois de c’est des sottises.

Avant de nous quitter c’était un scénariste au scénar pas triste et un éditeur américain de comics. (comics – pas triste, vous l’avez ?)

Tout comme son nom, il est souvent (non en fait toujours) associé à Marvel Comics.

Pour cette maison d’édition il a imaginé les super-héros Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron Man, Aquaman (ha non ça c’est DC) les Avengers, La ligue des Justiciers (ah non ça c’est aussi DC, décidément), les X-Men, ainsi que bien d’autres personnages que je connait pas sinon je les aurais nommés. Il parait qu’avant de décéder il était en train…

De créer un nouveau personnage avec sa fille Amy.

Elle ne s’appelle pas Amy mais tous les prétextes sont bons pour un jeu de mot.

(Amy Lee pour les plus lents)

Il se surnommait lui-même « Stan the Man ».

Le méchant du film Les Gardiens de la Galaxie Vol.2 est une planète qui s’appelle Ego. Je vous laisse faire les liens que vous voulez.

Lee est avec les dessinateurs Jack Kirby et Steve Ditko (on appelle ça un ménage à trois) le co-créateur de plusieurs milliers de personnages qui sont le fondement de l’univers Marvel. Comme quoi ont peu former une belle famille avec un papa et un papa (et un papa).

À compter des années 1960, le succès de ses séries a permis l’ascension de Marvel Comics, passé avec le temps du rang de petite société d’édition à celui de groupe industriel multimédia. Oui, tu as bien lu. C’est une phrase sans blague, calembour ou jeu de mots. En plus l’info délivré est vraie. C’est incroyable. Comme Hulk.

Après son départ de Marvel, il crée, en novembre 2001, un nouveau studio nommé POW! Entertainment. Je n’ai rien à dire sur ce studio, je ne savais même pas qu’il existait. Deux phrases sans blague, calembour ou jeu de mots. En plus l’info délivré est vraie. C’est Amazing. Comme Spider-Man.

Comme ce n’est pas un demeuré il demeure associé à Marvel en tant que symbole historique de l’entreprise. Tout comme son compte en banque, il est crédité à chaque sortie ciné comme producteur exécutif, de la plupart des adaptations audiovisuelles des comics mettant en scène ses personnages. Il a donc créé un studio nommé POW mais il n’était pas POW-VRE ! (POW POW POW ! c’est le retour du jeu de mots !!! )

Caméos

J’avais commencé à rédiger un paragraphe dithyrambique et pleins de passions sur ses caméos mais ma petite voix intérieur m’a dit “CALME TOI ALI !!! CALME TOI !! ENLÈVE DOUCEMENT TES MAINS DU CLAVIER, ET POSE LES SUR LA TABLE. VOILA, RESPIRE, SOUFFLE, C’EST BIEN)

Reprenons, je vais donc me contenter de cette petite phrases:

Dans les dernières années de sa vie, principalement après le rachat de Marvel par Disney en 2009, la création de l’univers cinématographique Marvel (MCU) et le succès mondial des films, il fait des apparitions dans chacun d’entre eux, avec des caméos devenus cultes.

Biographie

Famille

C’est un fils d’immigrants roumains juifs (C’est trop beau pour être vrai…Ce n’est pas un homme, c’est une source intarissable de blagues…) venus s’installer aux États-Unis.

Non mais rendez-vous compte, le mec est un fils d’immigrés. Bon. Déjà c’est pas simple. Comme le passé. Le passé simple. Mais en plus il est Roux des mains. Et comme si ça ne suffisait pas…il est…Ju

stement j”allais vous dire qu’il grandit dans le quartier de Washington Heights durant la Grande Dépression. En même temps, il y a de quoi…

D’origine très modeste, (mais je croyais qu’il était d’origine Roumaine ? s’exclame la fille de Monsieur Premierdegré) en parallèle de ses études à la DeWitt Clinton High School, une université du Bronx, (en parlant de Bronx, il y a 2 mois j’étais malade, j’avais les Bronx prisent. Petite blague médicale digne de Doctissimo). En tant que bûcheron il enchaîne les petits boulots pour aider sa famille.

Jeunesse et débuts

Voir lien

Stan Lee sous les drapeaux (entre 1942 et 1945)

En novembre 1942, Stan Lee est appelé sous les drapeaux presque comme Fianso et NTM dans cette chanson.

Il est cantonné à manger du riz avec Caroline du Nord, des pâtes avec Caroline du Sud puis de la semoule avec Indiana, de la police.

Il dessine des documents pédagogiques comme des posters pour prévenir la syphilis. Cette satané syphilis si difficile à soigner.

Vie privée et personnalité (parce qu’on mélange les serviettes et les chiffons)

Tony Stark et son papa

Stan Lee se marie le 5 décembre 1947 avec un modèle: qui possède les qualités idéales. La célèbre Joan Boocock ,qui ajoutera le nom de son mari après le sien. Et qui donnera son prénom à sa fille. Comment vous expliquer simplement. Elle s’appelle Joan, sa fille s’appelle Joan… Vous voyez le problème des jumeaux qui s’habille de la même manière pour tromper l’ennemi ? Et bien la c’est un niveau au dessus. C’est soit très irréfléchi, soit très malin de la part de Stan Lee.

Il appelle une personne, deux débarquent. En parlant de barque, Stan Lee, Joan et Joan sont dans un bateau. Stan Lee tombe à l’eau qui saute en premier pour le sauver ? Perdu ! C’est Joan ! Bon j’avoue elle était pas simple celle la.

Celle-ci (surnom de sa femme) meurt le 6 juillet 2017 à 95 ans. Je pense que dans la famille Lee il y a une date d’expiration (sacré jeu de mot !).

Ou une limite d’age, vous savez comme pour les jeux de sociétés. De 0 à 95 ans.

Le couple a eu deux filles, Joan Celia « J. C. » Lee (née en 1950) et Jan Lee, qui mourut trois jours après sa naissance en 1953.

Affaibli et affecté par la mort de sa femme, Stan Lee continuait cependant d’apparaître régulièrement en public mais pas dans Public !

Dans un documentaire de 2010 lui étant entièrement consacré, intitulé With Great Power : The Stan Lee Story, il affirme : « Je ne rêvais pas de faire des comics étant enfant. Je voulais être acteur. Mon premier héros était Errol Flynn ». Je vous laisse chercher qui est Errol Flynn ce fameux acteur australo-américain, né le 20 juin 1909 à Hobart en Tasmanie (comme le diable) (Australie) et mort le 14 octobre 1959 à Vancouver (Canada). Vous savez pourquoi ça s’appelle Vancouver ? Parce que quand il y a du vent il faut sortir couvert.

Excelsior

Stan Lee avait pris l’habitude de signer ses tribunes. Pas celles dans les stades, c’est pas une hooligan qui vandalise, celles dans les comics, avec l’expression « Excelsior ».

Une expression dont personne ne saurait ce qu’elle signifie, afin de se démarquer de ces concurrents qui reprenaient ses gimmicks. (« que signifie “Excelsior” ? Vers l’infini et au-delà ah non pardon ça c’est Buzz L’éclair… la signification de Stan Lee c’est: Plus haut et plus loin vers une gloire supérieure. C’est ce que je vous souhaite à chaque fois que je finis de tweeter. Excelsior ! »).

En parlant d’infini et d’au delà… (je suis vraiment de plus en plus fort en matière de transition. C’est épatant)

La mort de Stan, dans son…Lee lit

Stan Lee meurt le 12 novembre 2018 à l’âge de 95 ans, à Los Angeles en Californie. Je crois que je l’ai déjà dit. Les plus attentifs auront bondi de leurs sièges et criés KAMOULOX !

À l’annonce de sa mort, les principaux acteurs ayant interprété ses personnages au cinéma lui rendent hommage sur les réseaux sociaux, saluant le génie créatif et le scénariste révolutionnaire. Notamment les acteurs Tony Stark aussi connu sous le nom de Robert Downey Jr., Wolverine, nommé Hugh Jackman dans le civil, L’incroyable Mark ”Hulk” Ruffalo, Le Capitaine de l’Amérique Chris Evans ou l’Anglais Tom Holland(e).

Mais aussi le scénariste Frank Miller, l’acteur de la saga africa Star Wars Mark Hamill, et même les éditions DC Comics, éternelles ”rivales” des éditions Marvel Comics, qui saluent notamment un homme qui « a changé notre façon de voir les héros ». Parce que c’est sur que ce n’est pas DC avec sa Suicid Squad (qui porte bien son nom) et sa Justice League, qui va révolutionner quoi que ce soit…

Excelsior est mort.

Merci Stan Lee.

Tchao l’artiste !

Bill

DC United vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | 2018 MLS Match Preview

July 11, 20185:03PM EDT

DC United vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2018 MLS Regular Season — Week 20 Audi Field — Washington D.C. July 14 – 8 pm ET WATCH: TSN 1, ESPN+

At long last, Audi Field is open for business and D.C. United is hoping their sparkling new home will be the fortress needed to make a second-half playoff run.

No team has played fewer games than D.C. United, with 12 of their 14 games played away from home, including a 2-2 draw with the LA Galaxy on the Fourth of July, their third draw in a five-match winless streak.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC would like to spoil the party and come to D.C. off a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Fire that came on the heels of consecutive losses.

DC United

It’s been a long time coming, but the day D.C. United staff, players and especially fans have been waiting for is finally here. Audi Field’s grand opening was Monday afternoon with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. But it truly opens Saturday night.

And, oh yeah, Wayne Rooney is set to make his debut.

“Today’s the day we’ve been waiting for,” said club co-owner and managing partner Jason Levien. “A landmark day in a landmark year for D.C. sports. It’s difficult to overstate the magnitude of what today represents.”

D.C. United (2-7-5) rallied from a two-goal deficit to tie the Galaxy, 2-2, at StubHub Center last Wednesday. Zoltan Stieber responded a minute after Chris Pontius doubled the LA lead and Darren Mattocks struck for the dramatic equalizer five minutes from full time.

Suspended: None

Suspended after next caution: None

International duty: None

Injury Report: OUT: D – Taylor Kemp (labrum surgery), D – Chris Odoi-Atsem (compartment release surgery), M – Ulises Segura (knee injury), D – Nick DeLeon (knee injury), D – Kofi Opare (knee injury); PROBABLE: M – Paul Arriola (hip flexor injury), D – Joseph Mora (hamstring injury), M – Russell Canouse (knee injury)

Projected Starting XI (4-1-4-1, right to left) GK: David Ousted — Jalen Robinson, Frederic Brillant, Steve Birnbaum, Oniel Fisher — Chris Durkin — Zoltan Stieber, Ian Harkes, Yamil Asad, Luciano Acosta — Darren Mattocks

Vancouver Whitecaps

After being shutout in consecutive losses to the Philadelphia Union and Colorado Rapids, the Whitecaps erupted for three goals in a wild 3-2 win over Chicago Saturday at BC Place.

Kei Kamara opened the scoring with his first of two goals in the 28th minute. After Nemanja Nikolic leveled three minutes before halftime for the Fire, Jordon Mutch put Vancouver (7-7-5) back in front two minutes into the second half and Kamara completed his brace in the 72nd minute. Tony Tchani made things interesting when he pulled Chicago within a goal in the 81st minute, but the ‘Caps held on to take all three points.

“I thought we played very well in certain periods of the game. I thought we missed a lot of chances again and made it difficult for ourselves in the end,” Carl Robinson said. “At 3-1 it was out of sight, the game, and we should have put it to bed, but we didn’t.”

Suspended: M – Cristian Techera

Suspended after next caution: D – Jose Aja

International duty: None

Injury Report: QUESTIONABLE: GK – Stefan Marinovic (left knee sprain), D – Kendall Waston (left groin strain)

Projected Starting XI (4-4-2, right to left) GK: Brian Rowe — Jake Nerwinski, Jose Aja, Doneil Henry, Marcel de Jong — Jordon Mutch, Felipe, Efrain Juarez, Alphonso Davies — Kei Kamara, Yordy Reyna

All-Time Series

Overall: D.C. United 4 wins, 12 goals … Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2 wins, 4 goals

At D.C.: D.C. United 2 wins 8 goals … Whitecaps FC 1 win, 1 goal … 0 draws

Last meeting at D.C.: D.C. United 4, Vancouver Whitecaps FC 0 (April 9, 2016)

Officials

Referee: Chico Grajeda Assistant Referees: Adam Wienckowski, Kathryn Nesbitt 4th Official: JC Rivero VAR: Younes Marrakchi
