They look uncomfortable to write with.

Glow in the dark mugs are RIGHT THERE. Different colours for each of them, this shit writes itself.

Pens are actually a very unique type of merch, but that depends on what's done with it.

You can be tasteful with it, in ways of minimalist merch that looks good & isn't actively looking like merchandise at first glance.

Or you can go even further & make really classy & sophisticated fashion accessories.

Or you can just go balls to the walls, & make some badass stuff.

Mind you, none of the pens posted above a fountain pens, they're basic gel pens. Those Bic pens are neither, they just look like cheap shit which feels shit in your fingers while writing.

So without knowing the limitations of the MCUs version of the Infinity Gauntlet I'd just like to point out that Tony Starks a complete piece of shit that fucked up trillions of lives in the universe just to make sure his stupid made up daughter got to stay around instead of just using the power to just rewind time and make Thor not miss Thanos's fucking head or some shit lol.

Nah, it's bad enough that boomers sacrificed the mental and physical wellbeing of children IRL so they can live few more years during COVID. Killing every kid in the last 7 years to get a chance to fix your fuckup is morally reprehensible.

If the Infinity gauntlet with all of the stones could really do anything, just as long as Tony used his life essence to make it happen, couldn't Tony have just undone the snap and still made his stupid daughter be born if that was all that he really wanted?

I suppose the logic would be "reversing the snap and nothing else is easier than something ultra specific". Though, apparently Hulk made sure that everyone who came back did so safely (i.e. didn't fall from the sky) so who knows how solid of an argument this is.

It's also a shit excuse considering that they're admitting there are more "incels" than women who would watch this movie. And what this "boycott" would imply? That incels are keeping women from watching the movie? Unless they kidnapped them, nothing is stopping women towatch these movies twice or thrice. Incels are the new patriarchy, some invisible force that isn't letting women get what they keep insisting is what they really, really want.

Exact same story as women's sports. "GIRLS GET IT DONE! SUPPORT THE SORORITY!" and then you get abysmal assistance, you really cannot make them give a shit about stuff they don't care about even if they are more susceptible. Also, the ugly little secret is that women don't give a shit about other women, so going to "watch them" to "support them" is the farthest thing they will do, hence why it's easier to get them to watch a tranny theater than women in sportsball.

OK, now those are neat as fuck. What are they from? They kind of seem familiar but I'm not really associating to what.

Truly a tragedy that we missed out on the great splattering of 2019

It's not like Tony even *knew* that there were any limits to the infinity gems. Ruffalo Hulk literally "brought back everyone who died 5 years ago but today" with his snap... Just because Tony told him to. It would have made a hell of a lot more sense if Ruffalo Hulk just undid the snap. You can't even tell me that wouldn't be easier. Even if Tony got selfish and said that he wanted his kid to still be alive, but everything else was undone, that still would have been easier and made more sense than what actually happened in Endgame...

They're signature pens based on 5* weapons (best class of weapons) from Genshin Impact, & while those aren't really official merch, but you just need to search "Genshin Pen" on google. They're on Etsy & Amazon. They're made of metal & reusable as long as you can get a pen ink refill, meaning if you're autistic enough, can even color coordinate their ink colors based on body colors.

Some single ones come with their own weapon stands as pen holders.

There is other Genshin Impact Pen merch too, they're more on the classy side. But still better than whatever the fuck those Marvels Bic shit is. They also come in Red btw.

If you're not a Genshitter (like me) then media has these too, Japan is great when it comes to Pen merch. Like, here's a Zelda pen.

Or Goro Majima's baseball bat from Yakuza

Hell, Square Enix made a $300 pen for Final Fantasy's 35th Anniversary.

This guy broke embargo for The Marvels
2/5

There is a genuinely intriguing mid-credits reveal that will undoubtedly set fanboy hearts aflutter at the possibilities to come, but it may yet prove too little too late for a franchise that has become a tired, worn-out pastiche of the innovative, escapist behemoth it once was.

I bet that rumored Kelsey Grammer Beast cameo is true.

Tony's daughter ain't the only child that was born after the snap. They would be doing the exact thing Thanos did, with the only difference that they would mercifully make people forget about it.

It was a bad situation overall. The people who died shouldn't have died and the ones born after that didn't deserved to be disappeared either.

Keep in mind most actors are not comic book nerds. Henry Cavill is truly an exception. Most of them secretly agree with Scorsese that the MCU is not cinema, and they probably see Marvel as kiddie/ nerd stuff. They feel like clowns entertaining children.

I'm sure Cavill agrees too, to a certain extent. Like loving Burger King, but acknowledging that it's junk food that shouldn't eat every day.

Please let that image just be the camera quality because I can't tell if that's makeup on Kelsey Grammer or more bad CGI.

Does this make Doctor Strange 2 the most pointless MCU entry?
 
So they are bringing back Wanda to I assume House of M style reality bend so it will make it make sense for how mutants are a thing. Or be the MCU equivalent to the Molecule Man and have her be the one in Secret Wars that recreates the universe so we either get back on track with new actors playing Iron Man, Cap etc to right the ship, or most likely just going to keep things gay lol. I’m expecting the universe to pop into life with Miles Morales waving at us saying “I’m the only SpiderMan you get bitches!”

Also don’t be retarded and bring real life into a gay hypothetical about the infinity stones like not every thread needs to be A&H these aren’t real fucking people and it’s capeshit trash for fuck sakes lol.
 
There's this movie reviewer youtuber, Jeremy Jahns, who I find a pretty good barometer to what the honest general opinion will be; he's not an industry shill, he's decently knowledgeable about things but not obsessively so, and he's not politically biased one way or the other (at most he's shown some mild annoyance at progressive messaging when clumsily handled or too overly on the nose).

He was very enthusiastic about the MCU during the glory days, and his reviews of recent MCU things have gradually and accurately reflected the loss of quality.
Still, he seems to avoid being too harsh, and he's rated even Ants3 and Thor4 as not good, but not terrible (at least in his rating scale)

And he's saying The Marvels is bad. Not the worst rating in his scale, but proper on the bad side.

If I'm right and he's representative of the common opinion, then...
It's obre.

And by Beast I don't mean Dr McCoy
I guess the rumored scene of Kamala and Kate Bishop talking about the Young Avengers was either fake or scrapped, then

People brought up Blade and Blade did have female villains. Blade outright respected women* and was literally just Total Vampire Death throughout the movie.
The issue is that the MCU can’t just have a villain that isn’t just self-interested or past the threshold of being a monster that the audience can acknowledge as a bad person. The villains aren’t really allowed to be threats beyond Thanos and even then the audience is basically told Thanos was right because “muh environment and discrimination”.

*physically fought them like punch to the face and stabbed through the chest
 
So we jumped into the point in comics where death doesn't matter, which is around the time most people lost all interest in comics.

Also I fucking hate cgi in modern films. Just an explosions of particle effects that somehow cost millions of dollars despite looking like ass.
