Tangentially, I can’t take Nimrod seriously. Like I know he’s a big bad, but he looks kind of silly and Bugs Bunny has ruined the name for me for all time.
Hilarious that the name is ruined by people's inability to understand sarcasm. Never been a fan of this arc myself, but its being done well here.
Mostly just an action episode and it had some really good bits of action. The perspective shot of Kurt's teleport was great, even if the nein pun carried some heavy Sorcellation energy:
Some of the action was indeed great. Logan and Kurt going to town on those guys was cool. Summers family was the weak point in the episode. All exposition and much less cool action scenes.
Nimrod has becomes infinitely cooler when he got a personality in the lat 5 years of the comics. It helps seeing things like him cave in Juggernauts helmet/skull and/or him completely overwhelm and crush Apocalypse in a fight.
Big fan of Nimrod.
These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

I would say it’s less not understanding sarcasm and more not knowing the reference he was making.
EXCLUSIVE: Paul Walter Hauser is having quite a week. After being tapped for the role of Ed, Frank Drebin’s partner, in the untitled Naked Gun reboot from Paramount Pictures, as we were also first to report, we now hear the actor has come aboard Marvel Studios‘ The Fantastic Four.
For now, Hauser’s role in the superhero flick is under wraps, as is its plot. As previously reported, pic’s core cast includes Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards (aka Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm (aka the Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm (aka the Thing). Most recently, Julia Garner came aboard to play Shalla-Bal, a version of Silver Surfer.
Some rumors are saying he'll voice H.E.R.B.I.E. while others are saying that since he wasn't announced with the rest of the FF he will be playing a villian (possibly their first villian, Mole Man).

Please share a link?
I tried googling and all that came up were Mike Zeroh videos and some Reddit types saying Mike Zeroh made it up.
I've spent an hour today trying to find any actual source for any of this and it looks like it really is just the normal youtube channels slinging made up bs especially if it involves a female cast member. Nothing to see here.
Actually, I got that from a yahoo news article. Can't find it now, but I'll look harder later.
I went back in my computer's history, found the link, but now the story is no longer available.
Sounds like Yahoo ran with it before verifying it.
Certified mainstream media moment.
Given Cuda1179 reported, and now claims the link no longer works, but hasn’t presented said link? There’s evidence missing before we can draw any kind of conclusion.

British actor Ralph Ineson (“The First Omen,” “The Witch”) is the latest addition to the cast of Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four,” as the world-devouring cosmic villain Galactus.
So who had Ralph Ineson as Galactus on their MCU Casting bingo card?...

Marvel Studios‘ X-Men movie is gaining momentum as the project lands a writer.
Michael Lesslie, who is known for his work on the series The Little Drummer Girl and the recent prequel feature The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, is in talks to pen the new film focused on Marvel Comics’ iconic mutant team, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The feature does not currently have a release date or a director attached.
Hopefully they won't have to go through as many re-writes as the new Blade movie has gone through...

I am excited for Vision Quest. Vision is an incredibly interesting character and I suspect they are going to try to do his family and introduce Viv Vision.
Seeing this version of the vision go through something like that is going to be wild.
These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.
Latest rumors on Giancarlo Esposito's role in Captain America: Brave New World has him playing...
Spoiler:
George Washington "G. W." Bridge. If it's true, is that a deep enough dive into some of Marvel's most obscure characters for you

My family and I saw Despicable me 4. Plenty of laughs, a few good subplots, and a truly baffling number of cockroaches. It does feel like it was written as a series of short sketches, and pasted together more or less at random. If you need a silly movie to see with the kids, it'll do the job. As long as they're okay with bugs. Seriously, a lot of cockroaches.
