An Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four reunion is all we want from a Disney/Fox deal

Much ink will be spilled about the potential financial and cultural impact of Disney buying out 21st Century Fox – an impossibly complex proposal that’s reportedly still in whisper stages – but if you’re anything like us, your mind immediately went there.
Not to surging stock prices. Nor federal regulatory hurdles. Not even the inevitable implosion of Western popular culture into a black hole of corporate monolithism.
Nope, it went right here:

Spoiler alert: This post contains plot details for Thor: Ragnarok.
Thor: Ragnarok may be the best-reviewed Marvel movie of all time, but fans do have one major complaint.
//Honestly I’m like super salty that they just casually killed The Warriors Three and that Lady Sif just wasn’t even in the movie??????
— Thor (@GoldThunderGod) November 4, 2017
The third installment in the thunder god’s franchise purposefully takes a hammer to a lot of the established rules of its titular hero’s universe — Jane Foster and her other earthbound friends are nowhere to be seen, Mjolnir is shattered, and ultimately, Asgard is destroyed — but there’s one big change that seems particularly jarring, at least for fans of Mighty Thor’s comic book origins.

Hulu’s ‘Runaways’ is bringing a big change to the Marvel Cinematic Universe
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F639904%2F1c8a1b86-df4c-4b64-84dd-f9771b5e79a0.jpg)
Longtime fans of Marvel’s Runaways comics might be inclined to argue that, among the company’s near-countless properties, the beloved series requires the least amount of tweaking to be adapted for Hollywood. And from the looks of the new series coming to Hulu this month, its showrunners, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, agree.
Runaways is a relatively recent addition to the Marvel Universe — debuting in 2003 from writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Adrian Alphona — which means that unlike many of the older-school Marvel properties created by the legendary Stan Lee and his equally iconic collaborators, the property didn’t come with decades of continuity baggage or need any significant updates to get in step with modern sensibilities.

A scientific deep dive into the Marvel movies’ most hilarious trope: the shirtless scene
/https%3A%2F%2Fblueprint-api-production.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fcard%2Fimage%2F639649%2F98c2b72f-1663-4f3e-beb7-97f6832022df.jpg)
Whether it’s Iron Man fiddling with his arc reactor or Star-Lord getting hosed down, you can almost always count on the hero of any given Marvel movie to lose his shirt — it’s practically a trope.
At this point —17 films and nine years into the Marvel Cinematic Universe — the “shirtless superhero” scene is up there with Stan Lee cameos, post-credits scenes, and 30something blond men named Chris in terms of reliable franchise staples.
Such serious commitment on Marvel’s part, then, would seem to warrant some serious analysis on our part. And we do mean “serious.” This isn’t just an excuse for bald-faced objectification — goodness, no. Read more…
