I just learned about the existence of this Marvel Stadium in Melbourne because I saw that Wrexham AFC, the soccer team of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, won a soccer match there with 0-3 (Congratulations to the boys of Wrexham!). It's quite odd that a soccer stadium would be called after one of the hottest and most profitable brands of the entire world, so I looked it up and to my surprise I saw the iconic red 'Marvel' logo above the stadium, with 'Stadium' being in the same font as 'Studios' in the Marvel Studios, 'Television' in Marvel Television, 'Animation' in Marvel Animation and even 'Comics' in the the newest Marvel Comics logo. I dove deeper and visited the website of the Marvel Stadium, learning that it organises big sport events and even a concert for Lady Gaga is happening there soon, as well as a tribute to Whitney Houston. I was left CONFUSED by this, because you can even see that iconic red 'Marvel' logo on the website VARIOUS TIMES, yet nowhere even a single sign of some connection to the Marvel brand can be found other than the sharing of the logo. One other thing that peaked my interest is that Coca-Cola is one of the partners of the stadium, given that Marvel and Coca-Cola has had various tie-ins with the Ant-Man tie-in commercial in 2015 and last year, the bottles with various Marvel characters and the limited edition Chimichangas-mix for the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. Right now, there's a collab between Coca-Cola and the broader The Walt Disney Company with Star Wars character cans. But I don't think that says too much if I'm honest. So my question to you guys: Do you guys think/know if the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne is connected to the larger Marvel brand? I'd love for it to be. It looks...fantastic! Hold on, say that again?!
What's on your mind?

The show may not be perfect and was rushed and some other problems, but I enjoyed it. It felt like old Iron Man seeing Riri working on her suits.
Ironheart is sitting at like 4.3/10 on IMDb with like 44k votes, and I just learned some of them are just for racist votes. Cause I've seen comments, like... "Don't make a female black Iron Man show" or "Too many blacks".
I think Ironheart is now #5 in my top Disney+ MCU shows, not counting X-Men '97.
If you guys were ever to make your own media franchise and shared universe, what would you want to put in. It could either be big or small, could animated or live action, or could be film or tv series. You can make one for your own or put a marvel comic that you like in your shared universe.
Franklin Richards and Apocalypse. The most powerful Mutant in entire existence vs. the first Mutant in existence. Given Apocalypse's whole ideology and goals, Franklin Richards would be a perfect key to their accomplishment.
The MK 5 Ironheart armor is really cool, but I'm not a fan of the helmet. I don't like how it's kinda shaped and the eyes.
The MK 4 I think it the best, I the I love the helmet on that one.
What marvel character that has yet to be a ghost rider/have a spirit of vengeance would you like to see be a ghost rider?
The Hulk has a history of fighting 4 iconic Marvel heroes.
Wolverine
Iron Man
The Thing
And Thor
For me, I always enjoy seeing Hulk fight Iron Man and Wolverine the most.
So, I was inspired by SpiderFan2104's post about Wolverine fancasting and I decided to have a go at creating an X-Men cast. I've always been an advocate for a younger X-Men team, so that’s the way I decided to go when approaching this idea. Here they are:
1. Wyatt Oleff - Scott Summers
2. Sadie Stanley - Jean Grey
3. Jack Dylan Grazer - Bobby Drake
4. Jacob Bertrand - Warren Worthington III
5. Sam Coleman - Hank McCoy
Of course, these are just my ideas for an X-Men cast. You may different actors in mind or an entirely different team roster which I'd love to hear about so feel free to share
In terms how mutants should exist with humans
Prof. Xavier - Coexist and help protect humans also for peaceful ways
Or....
Magneto - Star a war and wipe out the humans for an all mutant world.
I'd be proud to be a mutant, but I don't want to live in a world where I have to hurt others like that just because they think you're a freak.
Magneto makes sense with some of the stuff and with what he's seen.
So, I side with Charles and the X-Men.
So I want to know why none of the mods added the power sets for Cyttorak’s children that we’ve seen them use in the comics?
What better way to honor a 1,000 post.... a post dedicated to The Invincible Iron Man.
Iron Man is my all time favorite Marvel character.
Iron Man really spoke to me when I was young, he was one of the first few Marvel heroes I was exposed to first, besides like, Spider-Man, The X-Men, or The Fantastic Four.
I've always loved his style.
I loved watching Iron Man: Armored Adventures on Nicktoons growing up.
And the armor, Iron Man has the best suits out of any superhero. I love the old school look, but the design when Adi Granov revamped Iron Man in the 2000's was incredible and it was the base for the MCU Iron Man armor.
Speaking of.... Robert Downey Jr. was the perfect casting for him. His performance as Iron Man.
Some of my favorite armors are, The Hulkbuster, The Silver Centurion, The Stealth Armor, The Modular Armor, and The Extremis Armor.
Iron Man isn't perfect and has made many mistakes, like in Armor Wars and Civil War. But Iron Man is still and always be a hero.
Iron Man saves lives.
Iron Man has a special spot close to my heart and always will. He will always be my favorite Marvel character and my 2nd favorite hero in fiction period after Optimus Prime.
Man it's ugly, the rest of the suit I really like, but not the helmet.
I kinda miss Thor wearing a helmet in the MCU, but this isn't it.
In Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Tony basically turned his MK 1 into the stealth armor, and you know it's the same thing, cause after it died, he said the only other armor he had was his Silver Centurion armor, but it was too damaged.
Why would they make it so that the MK 1 becomes the stealth armor, and then later they become 2 separate armors.
Besides, the 2 different blues look better anyway.
It is rumoured that after the events of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars the MCU is going to be soft-rebooted as part of the beginning of the Mutant Saga and the long-awaited introduction of the Mutants in the MCU. But even since before the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, fans have been speculating what hot-and-trending actor should play their favorite member of the X-Men. But about one of the members, and perhaps the most famous and popular of them all, it seems it's been rather difficult to find a good fancast. That of course being the Wolverine, who ever since the year of 2000 and the first X-Men movie has been played by what I consider one of the best actors of our time; Hugh Jackman. After initially departing from the role in 2017 with the movie Logan and the character dying, Hugh Jackman was reintroduced in the role in last year's Deadpool & Wolverine in a more comic-accurate version of the character from another timeline, stealing the hearts of the fans all over again. Especially with the comment by Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool that Marvel will let Hugh do this 'til he's 90, fans have been wondering if Hugh Jackman will be staying around in the role or if a possible last return in Avengers: Secret Wars will be his definitive departure of the character. On the other hand, a lot of fans have been waiting to see another actor to put on the cowl and claws, with names like Daniel Radcliff (yes, mr. Harry Potter himself), Jensen Ackles, Henry Cavill (who got to step into the role for a brief cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine) and Taron Egerton mentioned to be the ideal MCU Wolverine. All very talented and beloved actors, but can they fill up the big shoes that Hugh will be leaving behind? That's a concern I had, and I've not been the only one. On fancasting site mycast.io I've constantly seen Hugh's name among the others. Clearly people don't want to let go of Hugh's Wolverine, especially not after his praised return in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Now that's where that second image comes in. I was scrolling through Pinterest and found this fanart of Taron Egerton as Wolverine. But as you've likely noticed by now, Taron's hair in the image is blonde. Now I don't think I have to explain to this community what a blonde-hair Wolverine means: Jimmy Hudson. And that's where I experienced a little 'eureka' moment. What if the new MCU Wolverine after Avengers: Secret Wars will be played by a new actor, but will not be James Howlett/Logan but rather Jimmy Hudson? I'll do you one even better. What if the new MCU Wolverine is Jimmy Hudson, the son of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine as seen in Deadpool & Wolverine? From what I've seen from comics, I'm more of a movie guy but I've read Jimmy in the TVA comics series that ties in with the MCU-established Time Variance Authority, he behaves just like his father would. So he would carry that same energy on-screen, without feeling like he's entirely stepping into the shoes of Hugh Jackman. With Hugh's return in Deadpool & Wolverine, he made it even more difficult to feel the shoes he left behind for his succesor. By making it an identical character in terms of powers, behavior and role inside the team, but not making it the same character from the comics, it becomes easier to succeed Hugh as Wolverine. By even making that direct connection to Hugh's Wolverine, especially because I doubt much of what the Multiverse Saga set up will be left behind once we go into the Mutant Saga, you make that transition to a new Wolverine easier for die-hard fans of Hugh's Wolverine.
I honestly think this is what Marvel should do, because you don't entirely recast this (too) iconic role but you still come with a succesor to Hugh's Wolverine once he's out. They could even set this up by Hugh's Wolverine having a girlfriend on Earth-10005 revealed in Doomsday or Secret Wars, or a possible fourth Deadpool movie, that way paving the way for Jimmy Hudson to appear in a Mutant Saga post-reboot MCU. But I also do understand the desire to get a new James Howlett/Logan. If Marvel wanted to play safe, they should go with Jimmy Hudson as Hugh's Wolverine's son. A James Howlett recast is the more realistic scenario though, but I thought it'd be fun to explore this scenario with you guys! Let me know what you guys would love to see and advice Marvel to do!
I would love a new Punisher game.
It be frickin sweet, little gun action in games never goes wrong.
