WHAT'S ON TELLY?

A few things have passed across the Moonbase screens this week. Mostly Marvel films, namely the Fantastic Four movies. I like the Fantastics a lot but I still think there's room for a gritty remake like DC did with Batman films.

I wonder if the Fantastic 4 ever crossed over with the Avengers? I'd love to see a Thing Hulk stand-off! [just realised that the 2027 Secret Wars movie will bring some FF and Avengers together!]

Dr. Doom is an interesting character and reminds me of when I used to collect Secret Wars action figures, snapping them up loose wherever I found them. Very occasionally I got one of those flicker shields they came with too. 

Alas, I've sold all my Secret Wars ages ago, but I sill like those smooth figure lines.

Here's one  I saw online on Ebay.

Doom always reminds me of Kang the Conqueror, another megalomaniac with a suit and Secret Wars figure too, as seen above courtesy of Battle Grip.

Kang appears in Marvel's Quantumania and maybe feature in the upcoming Doomsday in 2026 [it was originally called the Kang Dynasty, but the lead has been convicted!].

Secret Wars itself gets the Hollywood treatment in 2027 with Dr. Doom being played by .... Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man died at the end of Endgame so he needs a new suit.

Another film me and the Missus started was Extinction. It started a lot like Battle Earth, a violent alien invasion, and stayed that way. We turned it off, although I'd like to know how it ended.

I had a dabble with WHAT IF on Marvel's Disney channel. Agent Carter became Captain America. It was intriguing but I can't take adult animation seriously enough to stay interested, a fault of mine!

That's it for now.
