Episode 173: Who Are Madame Web and the Spider-Women?

Inspired by the recent Sony movie (which, while not good, is fun in its own way), we go through the comic book counterparts of the four lead women to see how they are all interconnected in multiple ways throughout their respective histories.

I never understand why blind people would wear blindfolds.

Despite them being psionic in nature, the webs still come from Julia’s hands, not her head.

Julia as Madame Web #2. You can understand how this costume, and…

…this costume made me think Dakota was playing Julia at first.

One of Mattie’s many costumes (the changing outfits became a running joke in her ongoing book)

Anya as Araña.

And in her current Spider-Girl (aka Julia’s old Spider-Woman) costume.

Episode 67: Comics to Movies - Fantastic Four

The Fantastic Four have been in three movies so far, but haven’t joined the MCU just yet.  But, a new piece of casting news points to that happening sooner rather than later, so now is a good time to see what past movies have gotten right, and what they got wrong in adapting Marvel’s First Family to the screen.

I was tempted to do this “Lost in Adaptation” style, like one of my favorite YouTubers, but didn’t want to be accused of stealing his format, so instead I go movie by movie, rather than “what was kept,” “what was changed,” and “what was left out entirely.”

Still not sure how turning invisible will help. You’re still stuck in his grasp, Sue.

Wait…Why’s Captain America on fire?

Way to read the room, Reed. “I’m just a misshapen Thing!” “Well, I’ll call myself Mister Fantastic!”

And now Killmonger’s aflame? What is it with Human Torches graduating to MCU roles, and what happened to poor Jay Underwood?

Smells like Teen Superheroes.
