hey all! having a lazy sunday afternoon in a coffeeshop, purging the gigabyte of ref photos (!) i sent to @obazaldua and thought i'd share some of the stories informing WICCAN & HULKLING: LAST ANNIHILATION! In case you wanna dig through some back issues... #MarvelCosmicSpoilers Image
Billy and Teddy's high school years are obviously in V1 of Young Avengers, and their backstories are each depicted in YOUNG AVENGERS SPECIAL #1. In V2, Loki gives us the detail they were classmates, so these events actually must have occurred at the same school, in parallel. ImageImageImageImage
Mary-Jo Altman's first scene in V1 is her death scene; in V2 her evil doppelgänger, "Mother," functions as the Big Bad. "Road to Empyre" and our own "Emperor Hulkling" gave a bit more of a glimpse into Teddy's childhood. ImageImageImageImage
The Emperor's Suite of the Kree/Skrull imperial flagship was also established in "Emperor Hulkling"; they awake there in the LAST ANNIHILATION flashback on the morning of the wedding seen in EMPYRE: AFTERMATH. ImageImageImageImage
The nega-bands are first introduced in CAPTAIN MARVEL #16. They are looted from Mar-Vell's tomb, as their thief Captain Atlas uses their switching mechanism to battle Wonder Man, and turned into the nega-bomb that destroys Hala during the events of OPERATION GALACTIC STORM. ImageImageImageImage
The Kree Supreme Intelligence is introduced in FF #65. It is the architect of the Kree genocide in OPERATION GALACTIC STORM, and "killed" for this by Hercules and the Avengers who disobey Captain America. Its remains are fed to the Utopian Plex by Noh Varr in ROYALS #5. ImageImageImageImage
Dormammu rules. 10/10 character, 10/10 design, no notes. ImageImageImageImage

apropos of nothing, here is the Joker, flanked by his studly surfer goons WIPE OUT and RIPTIDE, talking softly into his radio, which is a hotdog
fascinated by Wipe Out, who seems to be reacting exclusively to his off-camera trainer?
this under-the-makeup moustache was never meant to be seen in HD i feel like I’m committing a felony

thinking a lot abt success of Baby Yoda & Gritty versus the manufactured unpleasantness of things like Baby Nut and the lesson is, I think, that of the lead casket:

you cannot fake chaos; you must risk ugliness; give and hazard all
a lot of this links to kawaii theory - that the truly cute must be a little ugly - but i think it goes to some of the stuff I was trying to say in that Babadook is Gay piece a few years ago: it only works if it exceeds the capacity for marketing to contain/control its meaning
Baby Nut has risked nothing; it is empty ZOMG Epic Bacon garbage, and the public can smell it.

As the new year approaches please keep in your thoughts that Taylor Swift wrote lyrics for a song in a movie whose book was otherwise composed entirely by poet TS Eliot, and in that song she repeatedly rhymes the word “wanted” with “wanted”

BE THAT FEARLESS MY CHILDREN
does “go” rhyme with “ghosts”? buddy you better believe no one has time to check
(I have written needlessly extensively about Swift’s idiosyncratic relationship to rhyme scheme in general, but it is such a STRANGE DELIGHT to see someone who possibly does not know what rhymes ARE laid directly against history’s most anal retentive rhymer TS ELIOT)

my work was about the way English speakers just generally do not have a vocabulary for our baroque art bc we were severed from its discourse at key historical moments (late-blooming anti-catholic English renaissance, Cromwell's yard sales, the Great Fire, WW1 & 2 anti-Germanism)
(i talk about this a lot on the podcast patreon.com/meakoopa if that is your thing)
England had a flowering Baroque in its literatures, arts, and patronage, and then wilfully forgot about, sold it all, burned it to the ground, and finally plugged up its ears when the German theorists of the 1900s to 1940s were looking back trying to figure it out.

KIDS IN HIGH SCHOOL FRENCH: THE HAT MEANS AN ‘S’ FELL OUT

so u can sometimes guess where it goes by seeing if its like an English equivalent

hôtel ~ “hostel”
hôpital ~ “hospital”
fête ~ “fest”
fenêtre ~ “defenestration” (go out a window!)

I DONT KNOW WHY THEY DONT TELL U THIS
ancêtre "ancestor"
hôpital "hospital"
hôtel "hostel"
forêt "forest"
rôtir "to roast"
côte "coast"
pâté "paste"
août "August"
château "castle"
fantôme "ghost" (from Latin phantasma)
île "isle"
conquête "conquest"
tempête" "tempest"
pâté just means PASTE

aren’t you FURIOUS

thinking about a question from the podcast - "did Milton innovate the idea of Jesus being depicted as wrong about something?" - and i can think of at least one example in the actual Gospels: when the woman at the well rebukes him and he's "damn ur right lol"

are there others?
I suppose the wedding at Cana is a parallel moment to this - his mother talks him into doing the "right" thing that is, for him, not the most dignified thing
(wedding at Cana is great bc Jesus wants to be the classy Son of God and Mary is just like "DONT FUCK UP YOUR COUSIN'S WEDDING DO U THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN US???"

the plight of every 'gifted' child forced to perform at family functions and a 'mommmmmmmm' heard across the ages)
