Sub-Mariner's ankle wings are the things about his look that are in greatest need of improvement.

Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread
- Thread starter bbjeg
- Start date
He has serious anger issues, but he's not a full on villain. The things he does in the name of Atlantis usually really do benefit Atlantis.
I mean, he murdered a whole lot of Wakandans in the comics by flooding them for basically no reason (AvX was really badly written). They even had to let T'Challa literally chop off Namor's head, then go back in time and save Namor for weird reasons, to try to get Namor out of the irredeemable villain hole he got stuck into by AvX. Also, he tries to invade the surface, sometimes for no reason except he feels like it, what has to be every year or two in universe, and currently in the comics he is just an outright warlike villain, so Namor definitely doesn't restrict himself to only doing bad things if he thinks they benefit Atlantis.
That's why I think that the MCU will treat him a bit better as a villain, and probably not take him far enough n the villain direction that they can't redeem him either in the movie or at some point after.
So Loki is the most watched? Call me cynical but I might put that down to a large proportion of Tom Hiddleston fans and that viewership was split between people who loved it and those who didn't. I suppose he is the biggest name among all the marvel series?
In the recent-ish Atlantis Attacks comic storyline, Namor interacted with the (new) Agents of ATLAS - particularly with Wave (Pearl Pangan), a relatively new character from the Philippines.
I'd mentioned the (new) Agents of Atlas in other contexts, but in this case I wonder if Wave might appear in whichever MCU project were to introduce Namor himself.
Actually, the smartphone game MARVEL Future Fight introduced both characters at the same time:
On a side note, given that one of the key aspects of Wave's story is her being from Cebu (as opposed to the Manila-based Triumph Division, with whom she has had a somewhat difficult relationship), I'd hope that they would be able to cast someone who speaks Cebuano for the role.

Yeah, I guess if it's really bad, and really important, it could have a little more of an effect on the overall production.
Did he, though?
What if they use an extremely "Evil Namor" to set-up the Secret Invasion and we have him killed at the end and revealed to be a Skrull attempting to cause chaos by having Atlantis/Wakanda go to war with each other?
We could possibly see Secret Invasion tv series come out at the end of this year which would be after Wakanda Forever

I like Namor best when he is neither a hero nor a villain, but acting in the best interest of Atlantis. When his goals align with the heroes he's on their side, but he never really joins the villains even though he can be against the heroes. I believe this is the direction that the MCU will take Wanda. She may work with the protagonists on occasion, but she will never be an Avenger again.
That is, ironically, how T‘Challa was introduced.
"OK" is subjective. Better than in the trailers?
Served the purpose in the story and worked well enough to be belivable.
Yes, yes he did.
But, that's me. I don't watch shows for VFX. Pointless exercise. It's all fake.
I appreciate visual effects, but as an art form. Art doesn't have to duplicate reality exactly, but to represent it. Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion creatures never looked real, but his animation gave them life and personality and that made them engaging to watch. The miniature cityscapes in the Ultraman franchise are obviously miniatures, but they're so meticulously, lovingly detailed and creative that I admire them as an art form in their own right. It's not about whether it's photorealistic; it's about appreciating the artistry and imagination and love and care that the creators put into the work.
I hadn't heard them before this, but apparently there are stories going around that Bryce Dalla Howard is going to play Sue Storm/Invisible Woman in the new Fantastic Four, but she's already kind of denied them.
She was doing press for Jurrasic World: Dominion, and a fan handed her a Invisible Woman Funko Pop! to sign, and she said the stories were "total rumors", but then she did sign the Pop! "just for fun".
That almost sounds to me like it could be a non-denial denial, since just because something is a "rumor" doesn't necessarily mean it isn't true.

Yes?
I'm not looking for realistic. I'm looking for believable in the context of the story. It's not a big stretch for me.
Silly?
