I hadn't realized that all the ones we had watched were with Mike (and Jonah's in the remake.) I know enough people who started with the theatrical movie that it seems like a lot of people think Mike was the original host. Honestly, I don't have strong opinions about any of the hostsMy wife still hasn't taken to the show, even though we personally riff on many other movies we watch together anyway, so it seems like it should be a natural fit... -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Okay, to avoid a complete threadjack, who would you cast from the available characters to man the MPQ Satelite of Love?SoL Crew:Host: ?Tom Servo: MysterioCrow T.

Kahmon said: Warning: Minor spoilers from Spiderman: Far From Home to follow.Ok, gonna babble for a moment so you can scroll ahead or tab back or something.Since the Spiderman "Stealth Suit" wasn't really a stealth suit, shouldn't the 3* costume be called Night Monkey?While the trailers depicted Mysterio as a hero, it should have come as no surprise to anyone with a cursory knowledge of the character that he turned out to be the villain.The 4* Mysterio lists his affiliations as Heroes. Shouldn't this be changed, or wouldn't it be funny if the next 4* release was a Villains version of him in a mo-cap suit.

Another example is 5* Thor who has two eyes and is the Gladiator version as that was featured heavily pre-release.

Another example is 5* Thor who has two eyes and is the Gladiator version as that was featured heavily pre-release. To be fair, at the point in the film when he had that clothing and such, he did have both eyes, and didn't lose the one until pretty late in the movie. I'm not sure I'd put that in the same category.And, actually, I thought that what MPQ did with Talos actually improved Captain Marvel for me, because it doubled down on my preconceptions of Skrulls from the comics. Mysterio, on the other hand, everything I know from the comics tells me he's the villain.

Mysterio, on the other hand, everything I know from the comics tells me he's the villain. That is my point - they based the MPQ character on one that is prevalent in the marketing/trailers which normally means fairly early in the movie, what happened in the movie is secondary and they don't need to worry about spoilers. Although in most cases there isn't too much to spoil.In terms of Captain Marvel I already knew from the comics that the Kree were the "bad guys" in terms of the Kree/Skrull War but it is still a nice twist.
