Ten things make a list. I like lists.

10. If you read yesterday's post about ebook distribution around the world, you may want to go back and read it again; I made some pretty hefty edits after having a contract discussion with The Agent, and I think it's more accurate now.

9. While I will not say that Joss Whedon is my master now—I remain too critical for that, and still haven't forgiven him for several things—he has made my two favorite theatrical releases of this year, Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers.

8. Although if we don't get another female hero in the sequel, I am going to be one cranky kitty. I knew that would be an issue for me going in; I was not wrong.

7. We're down to three girls on this season of America's Next Top Model, and I don't hate any of them. What? How can this be? I think the world has been intrinsically damaged by the inanity of this season's "US v. UK" concept.

6. You know what's awesome? Disneyland, that's what's awesome. You know what's better? I'm going there in two weeks, with Vixy. Are we now planning to hit every Disney park in the world? Yes. Yes, we are. Next up, Disneyland Paris.

5. Eleven days to Blackout! Who's excited? I'm excited!

4. If you somehow get an early copy, please don't tell me. There's nothing I can do about it, and it'll just raise my blood pressure. But feel free to post a review. Reviews are awesome.

3. You know what makes everything better? Poison dart frickens make everything better. Look at their tiny technicolor deadliness!

2. Jean Grey is still dead.

1. I'm seeing The Devil's Carnival tonight! Yay!

Hope you're all having a great Friday, and are looking forward to an even greater weekend.

I'd like the Wasp, personally; if they go with Ultimate Wasp, since almost everyone else is more Ultimate than 616, she's even Asian-American.

My suggestion is that they include the Wasp with no Ant Man. But that's just me. (I sort of hate him and love her)

I hate the Wasp/Ant-Man relationship, where it went, and how it was handled. Did Ultimate have that plotline?

Oh it's awful in the Ultimate universe :/ I think she's lovely and awesome and feel a kinship with her because of stuff she went through but he's a freaking monster to her. They could just give her a vague, shadowy past of Bad and put her in the upcoming Captain America movie (since Ultimate!Steve and Ultimate!Janet were an item for a while and all... I still ship them because I'm a dork) then she could be in the next Avengers movie with all of them and Banner can make her the serum to make her big too and we're all happy and no bad triggering stuff!

(This is a fantasy of mine and lovely but unlikely since they're currently working on an Ant Man movie :/)

The Ultimate-'verse edition took it a LOT further than Jim Shooter(?) did. What happened in "616" as a one-off side effect of Hank's mental health slide was taken by Mark Millar in a nastier direction.
