Good, hope they reverse and undo all of the let's make Inhumans the new mutants crap they did in the comics for about 10 years (Kamala is an Inhuman in the comics). They made a real effort at minimizing the X-Men and anything mutant related before the Fox purchase. Inhumans just never caught on in a big way after numerous relaunches and attempts. I always hated that direction Marvel took.

I haven't watched Ms. Marvel yet but the mutant reveal was spoiled for me earlier in the day.

Yep.

Fox got the IP to any mutant character Marvel Comics created.

So, Marvel stopped creating new mutant characters and tried to replace mutants with Inhumans.

Hence the big Inhumans push about a decade ago.

Now, with Disney purchasing Fox, mutants are allowed to flourish again.

That being said, I always did like the Inhumans BUT as Jack Kirby conceived them: the classic royal family characters.

Unfortunately, the Inhumans TV show really soured people on the Inhumans.

Black Bolt had a cameo in Multiverse of Madness, but, is not even mentioned in the Disney Plus follow up show on the movie.

I was probably one of the few who didn't mind the Inhumans show...not great but not horrible, either. So I enjoyed the Black Bolt cameo with the more accurate comics costume, and commend Anson Mount for being a good sport and playing him again after all the flak the show received.

Make no mistake, this is a forced retirement not something he's doing on his own. For those who haven't been following the story he's been under investigation for hiring women to positions within the company so he can have sex with them, then paying them hush money to sign NDA's not to talk about the relationship.


  • A $7.5 million deal with a former wrestler who alleged that McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex before she was later demoted, ultimately resulting in her contract expiry in 2005 following resistance of further sexual encounters. WSJ’s sources indicate that the wrestler and her attorney approached and made the deal with McMahon in 2018.
  • A roughly $1 million deal with a WWE contractor who was sent unsolicited nude photos from, and was allegedly sexually harassed on the job, by McMahon.
  • A $1 million 2006 agreement with a former manager who had worked with McMahon for 10 years before McMahon allegedly initiated a sexual relationship with her.
  • A previously reported $3 million hush pact between McMahon and a former WWE paralegal with whom he allegedly had an affair.

At the same time there was another story with former wrestler Mario Mancini corroborating Rita Chatterton's claims that he raped her in his limo back in the late 80's

The WWE also made another big change putting Paul Levesque (Triple H) in charge of all responsibilities related to WWE’s creative, in addition to his regular duties.


To date, $14.6 Million (all amounts USD) of these “Unrecorded Expenses” have been identified. In response to reports, broken by the Wall Street Journal, of McMahon’s payments related to these alleged affairs, a special committee of independent directors of the company’s board was appointed to investigate McMahon’s alleged misconduct.

All about the power I guess...I mean I'm pretty sure Vince could get his kicks with a high end escort every few nights for the rest of his life for a lot less than the hush money he's forked over.

The very first draft of the classic “The Transformers: The Movie” was recently revealed at TFNation, presented by Jim Sorenson and Chris McFeely for all the attendants.

This was the first script written for the movie, outlined in late summer 1984 and finished by February 1985. A copy was for Flint Dille in 2020 and the information was used for the TFNation panel.
