I think Michael Moorcock* would be turning in his grave if he were dead...

*who, in case anyone didn't realise, created the first and (so far) longest-lasting fictional multiverse starting in the early 1960s. And it's far more weird and brilliant than anything Marvel or DC have done.

I re-read his Elric series during the pandemic but seem to have have aged out of him. Epic as a kid but uninteresting later.

Agree on his multiverse although I think, as mentioned above, DC started doing it earlier in an attempt to use the old 1940’s JSA characters.

Marvel: So you say you like multiverses? Well here are five Wolverine's and one of them is a GIRL!

The Elric stories are certainly the most conventionally fantastic of all the Moorcock multiverse tales. Personally, I am more of a fan of The Dancers at the end of Time, the Oswald Bastable sequence and the very 1960s Jerry Cornelius novels.

Awesome, a feature length film about the Heat Miser!

The first Moorcock books I ever read were the Prince in the Scarlet Robe trilogy with Corum Jhaelen Irsei, so I have a soft spot for those early 70s vibes.

The two ways Marvel could move forward without Jonathan Majors

Marvel has two paths ahead for the MCU, and they both have a justification built into the lore

Halfway thru Rebel Moon, and it's super, super meh...
Really cliché storyline and they already green lit a part two? Lol

I had to break my watching of Rebel Moon into two sittings, because I started to fall asleep.

The Flash is awesome. It's like they finally figured out what makes the best MCU movies work, which sadly Marvel seems to have forgotten.

If you can, go in blind. The less you know the more fun you'll have.
