Yes! Disney will start physical releases of Disney+ series beginning in September with 'Loki'. (And no this isn't like the last time where it was just an empty case sold as a collectable.)

Hopefully they understand now that people who want physical releases aren't taking away from their streaming subscribers and keep it up.

No' Falcon & Winter Soldier' though. Unless they're holding it until closer to Cap 4's release date. (Whenever the hell that turns out to be!)

Edit: Mentioned as coming on Marvel's own website.

Oh, well. Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the only Disney+ series I enjoyed and wanted in physical media.

Oh, shit, one of the deleted scenes includes Frog Thor (beyond the blink and you miss it cameo)! That alone makes it worth getting!

Do you have this constant need to insult people who do not share your taste in movies?



Who do you think you are? What makes you think you had the right to pass off my opinion as a mistake or an error? And then you had the nerve to lecture me on how I was "wrong". If I thought the lack of a Peter/May confrontation over his role as Spider-man was sloppy writing, then I thought so. I still do. Period. All you had to do was state that you disagree with me and not lecture me on how I was wrong about labeling this lack of a confrontation as sloppy writing. To hell with you.

Wondering why Sylvie would be working at an 80s McDonalds in the second season of Loki? Turns out the reason is nostalgic mundanity:

“This character had been on a decades-long, maybe centuries-long revenge mission, and the classic trope of those stories is that it’s all-consuming and she’s not thinking about what comes next,” says [executive producer] Kevin Wright. “Now she has this moment of opportunity, where is she going to go?”
.
.
.
“When we stayed in the view of character, this woman who went on the run as a child, had been running through time, a fugitive of time, living in apocalypses, never being able to relax or slow down, the novelty of walking into a 1980s McDonald’s looked appealing,” say Wright. “You play a Little League game and go to McDonald’s. You go to a kid’s birthday party at McDonald’s. Someone like Sylvie would never have experienced that, and would be really taken by that.”​

Your loss. The first Thor frog story was an absolute highlight of the classic Walt Simonson run on the character.l

Frog Thor aka Throg aka Simon Walterson (yes, apprently Throg has a real name and it comes from his creator's name, which I didn't know until today) is a really goofy character but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like seeing him when he shows up.

I legitimately think that Walt Simonson was the best Thor writer ever. I wish his run had been more of an inspiration to the MCU version, especially in terms of characterization. Sure they used a few elements that he added to the Thor mythos, but they were generally done badly (Malekith being the biggest example of this). I mean, the guy invented The Time Variance Authority and Mobius (which I didn't even know until today), which you could argue are his only creations that the MCU has used well.

I'm still waiting on Beta Ray Bill to show up in the MCU, I honestly think he'd be a great Thor replacement, although he'd probably need to be a totally CG character, so they couldn't really use him as a lead unless he had some lame human alter ego to save money for non-action scenes with him.

I mean, that may be their excuse, but the real reason is also in the link: it's part of a massive new McDonald's marketing campaign and merchandising partnership with Disney.

Bill does have a human(oid) form.

Which could be done with prosthetics.
 
The best thing about McDonalds in the 80s was their Olympics deal where you got free food if the US won. Then Russia boycotted the 1984 Olympics and you were getting free food all the time!!!
