TITANTALK 015: "Donna Troy" is Up!

"You know, when Diana took me in, she showed me how to fill the hole that fire left in my life with love and with family.  That’s just what the Amazons do.  They have a tradition of empowerment and self-discovery.  Bruce filled that hole in your life the only way he knew how – with rage and violence.  Wonder Woman was born to protect the innocent and Batman was created to punish the guilty.  But we’re not them, either one of us."

CAPTAIN MARVEL Monday Night Football Trailer Takes Carol Danvers Into Space

Captain Marvel's life began the day it nearly ended.

During last night's Monday Night Football game where the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Redskins 28-13, Marvel Studios debuted the second trailer for Captain Marvel, the upcoming film based on the Marvel Comics character, starring Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn.

The two-minute, 15-second trailer opens with Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers (Larson) aboard a Los Angeles Metro Rail car in the 1990s, looking for her intended target while being stared at by astonished passengers.  We hear a voiceover from a younger Nick Fury (Jackson), who says, "So...Skrulls are the bad guys..."

Captain Marvel finds her target, an eldery woman who smiles upon being recognized, and unleashes a brutal right cross to the face designed to shock us.  The eldery woman shrugs off the blow, turns and abruptly launches into a drop kick that initiates a brief fight between the two until Captain Marvel subdues the elderly woman.  "...and you're a Kree," continues Fury, "a race of noble warriors?"

"Heroes," corrects Carol as we see a separate scene of her riding in a car with Fury.  "Noble warrior heroes."

As dramatic music builds, we see Captain Marvel slo-mo walking alongside other members of the Kree military group known as Starforce.  

"Your life began the day it nearly ended," remarks a voiceover from Annette Bening's unnamed character, a Kree who rescued Danvers and made her part Kree.  "We found you, with no memory, we made you...one of us.  So you could live longer, stronger, superior.  You were reborn."

We see fleeting images of Carol being infused with some sort of fluid, and Captain Marvel hanging upside down, forcibly restrained, as an alien device is doing something to her mind. 

"I keep having these...memories," remarks Carol, as we see a fleeting image of her in a flight uniform with her fellow pilot, Maria Rambeau (Lashana Lynch), the mother of another Captain Marvel from the comics, Monica Rambeau.  "Something in my past is the key to all of this."

Next, we see Carol wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D. ball cap while at the controls of some sort of airship, with Nick Fury in the co-pilot's seat.  "You know how to fly this thing?" asks Fury.

"We'll see," replies Carol as she starts activating switches.

"That's a yes-or-no question."

"Yes," answers Carol, pushing the throttle forward and launching the airship from its hangar.  

Aboard a Skrull spaceship, Captain Marvel faces off against Talos (Mendelsohn), the film's big bad.  "Would you like to know...what you really are?" asks Talos in a voiceover.

We see Carol and Nick Fury researching something in a S.H.I.E.L.D. archives room.  "I think I had a life here," Carol remarks in a voiceover as we glimpse a brief shot of Mar-Vell (Jude Law), Carol's mentor and commander in Starforce.  "What aren't you telling me?"

"You've come a long way," Mar-Vell tells her in a different scene, "but you're not as strong as you think."

"This war...is just the beginning," says Talos as we see the back of Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) as the two watch a battle in space.

"I'm not gonna fight your war," Captain Marvel states in a separate scene, followed by flashes from various points in Carol's life that end with Captain Marvel looking impressively formidable as she bursts with power.  "I'm gonna end it."

This is immediately followed by a brief sequence of Captain Marvel, now sporting her red helmet that creates a faux-mohawk with her hair, battling a Skrull invasion of Earth in space and destroying ships left and right.

In the trailer's final scene, we see Nick Fury in the S.H.I.E.L.D. facility, bending down to pet a cat, saying "Aren't you the cutest little thing?  Aren't you cute?  And what's your name, hunh?"

"Fury," admonishes Carol, trying to refocus his attention, and nodding to address the matter at hand.

"I'll be back," Fury whispers to the cat before getting up to leave.

Captain Marvel is scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 8, 2019.

Sony Pictures Developing Animated SPIDER-WOMEN Film

The webbed women of Marvel are getting their own animated movie.

Deadline is reporting that Sony Pictures is working on an animated Spider-Women film that will "focus on three generations of women with Spidey powers."

According to the article, Bek Smith (Zoo) will write the script, with Amy Pascal producing.

It's not known if Spider-Women will be connected to the previous animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which featured Hailee Steinfeld as Spider-Gwen/Gwen Stacy.  The studio is already working on a sequel that continues with the Miles Morales Spider-Man.

Presumably, Spider-Women will be based somewhat on the recent Marvel Comics event storyline "Spider-Women", that was centered around the superheroes Spider-Gwen, the Jessica Drew Spider-Woman, and Silk.  

The Jessica Drew Spider-Woman was created in 1977 by Archie Goodwin and Marie Severin, first appearing in Marvel Spotlight #32.  At a young age, Jessica's family moved to a lab built by her father and Herbert Wyndham near Mount Wundagore in Transia, where she became gravely ill from months of uranium exposure.  To save her life, her father injected her with an experimental serum based on irradiated spiders' blood.  She was later captured by a HYDRA reserve unit under Count Otto Vermis, who erased her memories, brainwashed her, and recruited her as a HYDRA agent under the codename Arachne.  After an encounter with The Thing, she recovered from her brainwashing, and took on the identity of Spider-Woman. The two superheroes soon encountered Modred the Mystic, who removed HYDRA's memory implants and restored Jessica's memories.

Spider-Gwen, a.k.a. the Gwen Stacy Spider-Woman, was created in 2014 by Jason Latour and Robbi Rodriguez and first appeared in Edge of Spider-Verse #4 as the Earth-65 version of Gwen Stacy.  Instead of this Earth's Peter Parker, this Gwen Stacy was the one bitten by the radioactive spider during a demonstration on the use of radioactive rays at a science exhibit.  She became a superhero going by the name of Spider-Woman.  Shortly after she began fighting crime, Peter Parker attempted to exact revenge on those who bullied him in Midtown High School, becoming Earth-65's version of the Lizard.  Gwen subdued him, but Peter died towards the end of the battle due to a chemical that he used.

Silk was created in 2014 by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, first appearing in The Amazing Spider-Man (vol.3) #4, following a brief cameo in issue #1.  After the radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his Spider-Man powers, the spider bit Cindy Moon as well.  Soon after, Cindy’s abilities manifested, including organic webbing (unlike Peter), but she was unable to control them.  Some time later, the character known as Ezekiel approached the Moon family and offered his help with Cindy controlling her newfound abilities.  After six years of training to use her powers, Cindy was locked up inside a facility by Ezekiel to protect her and the other "spiders" from the villain called Morlun and his family known as the Inheritors.  After learning of her existence, Spider-Man immediately searched for Cindy to break her out of the facility where Ezekiel had kept her.  Cindy made her way out of the facility to finally see the city of New York, and became the superhero known as Silk.

"Yeah, but it'll be worth it!  I promise!"
-- Dick Grayson and Gar Logan, Titans: "Together"

Hello again, Titans fans!  My fellow TitanTalker Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast!  This time, we discuss "Together", the fifth episode of the new DC Universe series Titans, featuring the introduction of Curran Walters as Jason Todd, Reed Birney as The Messenger, and the return of the Nuclear Family!

TITANS TOGETHER!

In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like Sunday being TitanTalk Day, Titans Season One having a lot of writers and reshuffling episodes, Titans starting to get positive word of mouth, the Titans finally coming together, Dick wanting everyone to showcase their powers, Starfire being the opposite of Night Girl from the Legion of Substitute Heroes, Starfire's bad idea of hanging out in the overcast Midwest, Beast Boy only being able to transform into a tiger, wondering why circus boy Dick Grayson freaked at Gar changing into a tiger, Raven's soul self being a strange black goo, Titans fight choreography resembling Daredevil, Titans needing better lighting, the Nuclear Family getting a new dad, Titans finally showing some restraint on the gratuitous violence, worrying about Dick eating the butterscotch candy, Jesse eating a chicken embryo in Manila, the smokebomb signature move for Robins, Dick seeing Jason Todd for the first time, Kory worrying that Dick was going to blame her for the Nuclear Family's heads exploding, the Nuclear Family being stored in the cloud, Dick and Kory's sex scene, Kory shopping at the Happy Times liquor store, everybody liking Dick...Grayson, our favorite lines of the episode, Beast Boy wanting to meet Batman, new feedback from DJ Nik in Milan, Italy, Beast Boy needing to connect with people, and more!
