How I would've set up Sam and The Avengers in Phase 4 and 5.

An incredibly long, and self-indulgent collection of my headcanons. 😅🤣😂

After reading @likeol 's post here, here's how I would've gone about setting up Sam and the new Avengers. This is just my opinion. Long post ahead.

In my ideal but still trying to be realistic, alternative world, I would've done this:

Falcon and the Winter Soldier needed to be a movie. Having it be a show fractured the general audience, many of whom still don't bother to watch the shows. Hiding the first chapter of Sam's arc as Cap on show damages the potential new Cap trilogy macro arc.

This movie should've released end of 2019 like Spiderman Far From Home (TFATWS is set 6 months post blip, FFH is set 8 months). Release it Sept/Oct. (Unlikely they'd release this the same year as Endgame, but I'm saying this with the full knowledge that COVID shut down theatres in March 2020 soooo... go with it lol)

Easily could've filmed this the same time as Infinty War/Endgame/reshoots, since Anthony and Sebastian were blipped and only in the final battle.

Working title is TFATWS. Then post Endgame comic con, big reveal, boom we tricked you CAP 4 BABYYYY!

Call it something like Captain America: Legacy or False Flag something idk. Something that either ties to the passing mantle theme or government manipulation/covert operations i.e. Walker

Since this is pre covid, we can now keep the original Flagsmasher plot lol! or strip it down a little and make Walker more overtly the villain. (I just hate him)

*Side note: did you know Far From Home is considered Phase 3 and not 4? I guess this hypothetical makes my Cap 4 movie end of Phase 3.

On to Phase 4! References!

After cinemas reopen, Shang Chi releases Sep 2021. Could maybe have included Sam in the post credit? Have him at that hologram meeting. Beaming in or in person, dont care.

Eternals released Nov 2021. Don't let them ignore Sam. Remember that bs 'Who's going to lead them?' and Ikarus going maybe me? Nah!

Hawkeye ended Dec 2021. Include Sam (and Bucky in the post credit at that terrible musical. It's funny! It would've made sitting through it bearable.

Ms Marvel started June 2022. Sam Wilson as Cap should've been represented at that AvengersCon. He wasn't even visible as Falcon. But easily could've just in passing shown the costume competition. Get creative. Maybe one fan is half-Falcon half-Cap suit, split down the middle. (Bonus: Have a SamCap cosplayer dragging a friend along who's just wrapped his arm in foil like those french guys off tiktok 😆)

I wouldn't care so much about What if episodes if we had these other references. But come on! Sam definitely should've been in these at least as Falcon.

Speaking of 2022, looks like we're due for Sam's 2nd Cap film! (It's been 2.5 years. Totally doable.)

This would make 4 MCU films in 2022 but idk it's post COVID. Roll them out.

Move Doctor Strange 2 to earlier in the year Feb/March idk, I didn't like that film 😅

May 6 is now free for Captain America: New World Order (you could still have Brave New World, but i always thought NWO was a better title. And it's from the comics)

Instead of the Hulk sequel plot (I don't really like the Leader I'm sorry BNW 😔), this should be following our Cap4. Still make it political espionage, still begin the 'restart the Avengers' request from the president, follow up on Sharon as Powerbroker. Personally, I'd tie in Rhodey's Armor War ideas too, because I want a bigger supporting cast of familiar faces.

Joaquin still gets injured here, because it's his first big fight and I love their conversation after

Maybe include an Ant Man cameo. Show Scott and Sam are still connected. Maybe even have Scott ask Sam about writing the foreword to his book! Which we'll then see the following year in Quantamania. 🤯

The post credit for this Cap5 is a first baby Avengers assemble moment. (From the above changes, he's met Shang Chi, Wong, knows Bruce, Scott and Hope. Already has Joaquin and Bucky (?) and Rhodey. It's a start!!

On to Phase 5!

Honestly, there's not much to do here. Mention Sam in Ant-man 3. During Scott's book signing

Thunderbolts, which I now decide is set first in 2025. That's the film that's dumped in February. Because it's not a summer worthy movie. 🤷‍♀️

Can stay the same but for adding a Sam cameo and tweaking the end credit scene where we replace it with this idea here (or similar idc) but since we the audience already know the REAL Avengers are operating since Cap5, this makes sense.

Don't know how to fix Bucky's bs choice. You could always just entirely replace him in Thunderbolts with Everett Ross like we just did here 😆 But at the VERY least don't stab Sam in the back by staying quiet when people insult him 🙄

OF COURSE, this whole rewrite is based on respecting Sam and ergo the New Avengers reveal likely wouldn't happen anyway. BUT if it did, at least Sam's Cap and team are coming in to defend.

Now Captain America 6! (It's been 3 years, but Sam is established on the big screen, and i'm being realistic in accounting for the actors and writers strike 🤣😂)

This becomes our May summer release. Essentially, this would be Avengers 4.5 in the same way that Cap3 was Avengers 2.5 given all the supporting characters. BUT that's just cos we need a team up movie before Doomsday and we also need to squash the Thunderbolts nonsense. Resolve that here, or at least develop it somehow.

Still have some big Avengers style action. Show the team dynamic under Sam's leadership. Add in Shuri!

This a new film so I have zero plot ideas 😆 but whatever happens, the post credit scene for THIS is now the Fantastic Four ship coming into orbit.

Annnnnd.... yeah. That's how I would've weaved Sam in through Phases 4 and 5, setting up Phase 6 Avengers.

If you've read to the end of this... thank you ...and im sorry 🤣 😂 💞 🎖🏅

Would you have done anything differently? Have I forgotten anything?

Blog Post - Convention Preview ᯓᡣ𐭩‧₊˚ ⊹

I've always enjoyed participating in fandom experiences! Though, I haven't been to anything crazy, like Comic-Con or Anime Expo. My most notable were just a few local Florida conventions. But they were still fun overall and gave a great look into youth culture and fandom communities with its vast amount of participants around the globe and things tailored for each fandom.

My first convention was PolyCon at Florida Polytechnic University. I don't remember much about it because it was a couple of years ago, but would say it was a good time! The convention itself was pretty quaint with not a lot to do and not many people attending besides Polytechnic students. But for being my first exposure to convention life, I was enamored. There was also a student-run maid cafe that was amusing to go to, specifically because my dad came to the convention with me. Younger me had absolutely no idea how to explain to my dad why a bunch of college students were in cat ears, maid costumes, and doing intricate dance routines. He was so confused... it was lowkey hilarious but also embarrassing.

I'd say the most memorable convention memory I have is when I went to Mega Con in 2021! It wasn't super long after the COVID quarantine got lifted, and so until then, I hadn't gone to anything or seen many people for what felt like a long time. Being able to go to a convention (of course, by then it was safe to be in public spaces) and simultaneously going with my best friend for her first time was just what I needed. However, it was very different with COVID regulations still in place, like masks and social distancing. But I did notice the convention felt like a sense of normalcy for many con-goers after the pandemic. Everyone I met was so kind (and that's rare because you're bound to run into a few bad eggs or creeps), and every cosplayer I saw, even with the masks, made the most out of their costumes! My best friend and I also tried to cosplay as our favorite characters from Demon Slayer because the anime was a huge comfort to us while we holed up inside our homes with nothing to do. Yes, I think my costume was horrible because I am no professional, and I lowkey hate looking at pictures of it, but it did act as a nice escape from the COVID-filled reality at the time. Because of that, I was so happy to spend that precious time with my best friend! And buy a lot of stuff in the artist alley because Mega Con's is so big lol.

Another convention I went to earlier this year was the University of Florida convention, Swamp Con! I never knew until later in my first semester that UF held its own convention, and I think more students should know about it! Swamp Con is an event completely run by students in the Reitz Union, which I think is super impressive based on how many activities there were to do! There were panels, quizzes, performances, cosplay contests, an artist alley, outdoor games, special foods and drinks, and even a maid cafe (which was so funny to see a second time in a college). I also cosplayed again for this convention as Sophie Hatter from Howl's Moving Castle, which is such a huge shocker based on my Tumblr. 

Overall, the convention setting on a college campus took an unseen pressure off, which is something I also remembered feeling at PolyCon. I thought that would be an interesting thing to point out compared to venue conventions!

Good things that happened today:

Saw an interesting video about the pros and cons of TikTok getting banned

A good person gave me a ride to work today as it was snowing heavily. She pulled up, gave me a ride, and jokingly said not to murder her, even though she's the one with most of the power in that situation and I could have easily been scared. But the risk of kidnapping/death was outweighed by the fact that I was cold, so I happily took the ride.

Got to pet a single dog that gave me sad eyes as I packed his mother's car.

The snow quickly melted away today, which is fine by me.

Read the Heroes at Home comic by Marvel, which is actually a cute strip of comics that show how different characters of the Marvel universe coped with being inside during the pandemic. Makes for a charming read and a decent time capsule of...the HELL we lived through in 2020-2021. Crazy it hasn't been that long ago.

Had fun writing tomorrow's part of Full Family. You'll likely get into it.

Good things about myself:

I'm a good writer.

I'm a good friend.

I'm a good worker.

I'm a good son.

I'm a good...Tumblr person--I don't know. I ran out of ideas.

[eastcoast-envy]

Probably the best thing that's ever happened to me at New York Comic Con (besides my trip as a whole back in 2019--my first ever convention) has to be the Ghostbusters: Afterlife panel back in 2021. It just...it was so amazing...

Imagine me, cosplaying (somewhat poorly) Kyoka Jiro, buying lots of prints to put on my wall back home, chilling with my dad, taking TONS of selfies with other MHA cosplayers, and then at the end of the night my dad and I decide "you know what, let's eat dinner a little on the early side, don't want to have a late dinner," because we wanted to leave as soon as the panel was over.

And then the panel just...doesn't end! The directors keep thanking the fans profusely for being so patient and waiting. And then in super dramatic fashion he says "I think you [all/guys?] have waited long enough" and the whole room goes dark and a projection starts and everyone is left there realizing oh my god we're gonna watch a movie.

Shout out NYCC.

Either Pedro is a early raiser at woke at 4am and posted his IG stories before coffee or he is back in LA.

Bro, we have seen Pedro posting too late and too early even when he’s home. We’ve seen him posting at 4am while in LA and not working. This thing of trying to figure out where he is because he posted too late or too early is so 2021. I am not even saying he couldn’t be home already, since we have seen the Comic Con Holland announcement of Joseph’s cancellation stating they were expected to return soon, but the time of posting can’t be taken too seriously.

You could see, though, that the pic of the book yesterday was in a hotel room, so still London.

This 2021 SDCC panel is also one of the reasons I couldn't agree with some of the stuff tumblr posts last year had stated... which was mostly made up! ie "Stan didn't actually work on the show" or

Like you can see the joy emanating from their faces when Stan and the cast and other crew explain their parts in the show... I can't believe any of them would hate it, whether this was a promo video or not xD Like... you don't go to a SDCC panel of the show you made if you... absolutely hated working on it. idk, it just doesn't make sense. I get that seeing a show or characters from a fandom lens makes people hate that show/characters make stuff up about the show later (i.e. other fans hating on Yuichi Usagi, just as a concept, bc of the ship/shipping, I get it) but it just seems... so strangely petty. Plus non-shipping fans might have been mad that this was not a direct adaptation.... Again I get it! I've been there with other stuff. But whether a show is good or bad, it seems mean-spirited to just lie about the crew or creators of it. It's okay to admit that you had different expectations about it. Yes, it's aimed at a younger viewership and does not directly adapt the darker aspects of the comic, but, that's wholly because of circumstance (Netflix show) and the show is good despite that. Your view of it can simply depend, well, on your view on spinoffs and animation in general, when you watched, what mood you were in. Whatever opinions fans might have, this panel seems to suggest the cast and crew had a mostly good time on it. Unless everyone here is some sort of pathological liar.

More press coverage of the Samurai Rabbit SDCC 2021 panel:

IGN, Polygon (a few pics), Animation Magazine, Geek Network, AIPTcomics (I'll add any more I find if I find smth new)

Screenrant (announcement of the Comic-Con @ home lineup) longer article on AWN (2022, about the premiere with more pics)

also, Stan's interview with the SDCC blog in 2022

"UBLOG: Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles debuted its first season on Netflix, and has already been renewed. What was it like finally getting to see your characters come to life in that way, and how pleased are you that it was so well received? Sakai: We at Usagi Studios are very pleased with Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles. The protagonist Yuichi is a direct descendant of my Miyamoto Usagi who is featured very prominently and with a twist that I thought was brilliant. We worked very closely with Gaumont and Netflix, approving/adjusting scripts, designs, suggesting voice actors, etc. I even calligraphed (by hand) the logo for the series. Samurai Rabbit expanded on a mini-series I created titled “Senso” inspired by HG Wells’ War of the Worlds wherein the martians invaded feudal Japan instead. Japan took that alien technology and developed it, adding their own cultural elements. Samurai Rabbit takes place in the future with Yuichi a young samurai in training who worships his famous (or infamous) ancestor, Usagi. Like my Usagi stories, Samurai Rabbit is very character driven and the first season tells of Yuichi meeting what is to become his core group of friends as they battle yokai, the haunts and monsters of Japanese folklore. I’m so glad that a second season is coming up."

i cannot imagine Stan Sakai Lying. like. LEGIT i cannot so i don't get why ppl make stuff up abt the show. it hasn't been very egregious so far, just stuff in tags and reblogs, but still. weird. fandom is weird abt stuff like this lol! I also do not get the hate that the show itself and the character of Yuichi Usagi get for basically. Not being what people imagined in their heads of an Usagi Yojimbo spinoff. I kind of get that part, because when Avatar: LOK was previewed in 2011, I imagined such a vast and colorful version of the show based on just 2 art pieces, I was caught a bit off-guard by the 1st season's premiere, and completely let down by the 2nd season. So I get that part at least. Many articles seemed to suggest that this show would be an adaptation, and I am guessing this is where people's expectations rose ten-fold in a similar way to my 2011 self. From interviews, I sense that the crew had similar expectations when they joined: a Usagi aniamted project with Stan Sakai directly involved! I'd be asking to be on the show too if I'd been a Gaumont studios member at the time.

The mountain is high and it is hard to surpass. When Netflix ordered the show to be about a younger Usagi and gear it for a younger audience too, I find that perhaps the Gaumont and Usagi Studios crew also saw this. In a fan's eyes, almost no one could match Stan Sakai in his storytelling, and the crew are big fans of his work. So it would make sense that they started to see the show they were developing differently. Instead of something like the 2003 adaptation of Miyamoto Usagi, where they make him younger and change his story a bit, the SR crew saw an opportunity. Lets make it about a descendant and a whole different setting, yeah? So the show becomes something quite different, but more manageable now. The mountain seems more like a long trek than an unpassable task.

But it also seems from every interview and official release I've seen that most of the people working on the show really liked what they made and liked working on it, even if it wasn't a direct adaptation of Usagi Yojimbo, something most of the crew were a fan of already themselves.

also, the series was worked on at least since 2018. Yeah, it's aimed at a younger audience, but a lot of effort seems to be put into it anyway, from writing, acting and art aspects all-around, so it just doesn't seem like something that people would feel the need to lie about. it's a good show. It is just not a direct adaptation of the comics, that people have been wanting, or something "style adjacent" to the comics, e.g. what people expect of the comics (that it's only dark and gritty).

A 2019 comicon.com article sharing a facebook photo at Gaumont studios with Stan is the perfect example of this - "This studio is known for their work on the original Redwall animated series. Judging by the key art shown above and Gaumont’s location in Paris, I hope that the animated series will remain faithful to the darker tone of the comics." - of course an article by a reader of the comic would have something like this, but we can see as early as this, the writer is setting themselves up for higher expectations for the series. Which I don't find fault in, who doesn't want a cool animated adaptation of their favourite comic? But comparing a studio now to what the studio was 15-20 years before is like setting the reader up for expectations that are too unrealistic. Redwall is a beautiful adaptation, but each show/series will almost always have a different team of people working on, so from an animation work POV, it just seems like something unrealistic. Animation industry, both western and otherwise, has always been something that can't always cater to all interests.

not-so-hot take but: it's actually good that it's not a direct adaptation!

The expectations people put on any adaptations/projects based on an older thing, is probably also a huge factor in why both younger and older fans (both shppers and the fans of the comic) feel so terse about the series, when in reality, it's possibly the best result we could get for a netflix adaptation (if I look at any anime/manga live-action adaptations for example, netflix has sort of "dropped the ball" on many of these). The series having loose and not-so-loose connections to the comics canon basically ensures that nothing about the comics canon is ever changed much, or that Stan is never obligated to change the comic for the show. The comic and show are allowed to be separate, but the show is also an homage and open fanart to the comic.

This also means that whether viewers hate or love the series, perhaps having a non-adaptation og series based on the comic... means they will actually read the comic itself now. I see this with both liveaction and animated adaptations, but ppl usually don't pick up the og source material based on just one adaptation, and if the adaptation is good or faithful, they still won't - thinking of TMNT 2003 but also Rise series haters who insist Raph doesn't use Tonfa, when that was a og comics reference lol - there's no trust that the animation folk working on your favourite properties adaptation are ALSO FANS of the same thing. So the chances for that might be similar. If people are happy with an adaptation, they might be less likely to seek out more of it. But I just find this series an interesting attempt from that POV. It almost feels similar to what Transmedia Storytelling is explained as a technique - of telling a story across multiple platforms, adding something unique each time.

A direct retelling is different from an original piece or continuation set in the same universe. Imagine that Usagi Yojimbo, the original comic, is like a tentpole that readers gather around. As time grows on, different animated adaptations occur, some tabletop games, a theather play etc. Different media for Usagi to inhabit as a character and a concept. And then comes along Samurai Rabbit, wholly not an adaptation of the comic's stories at all, but something inspired of it, building on it, not changing it much, but still adding to the canon in its own way (the existence of the Ki-Stone in this show). It's different but it's entirely a work made out of love for the comic, and you can see it in the different aspects it adapts from the comic (the 2D sequences, the skull-death-bubbles, the references to the comic, how it shows Miyamoto Usagi) and how it approcahes the characters as a cast.

So because Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles is not a strict retelling of any of the comics narratives, it allows itself room to explore and grow as its own thing, while also loosely adding to the canon in an interesting and unique way.

I hope phrasing the show from that vantage point gives other existing a different view on it.

this show also credits everyone in the production, including even the 3D animation company (a lot of animated shows only credit the company itself, or at least used to do this a lot) so I think that speaks a lot about how the production sees the show itself. The people making the show are valuable and did well, whatever the reception is going to be. And genuinely, I hope it was actually a good experience working on the show for all of the cast and crew.

I know this is an odd question but does anyone have all of those “out of context spoilers” that were shared during Comic Con at Home in (I think) 2021? I think I found all of them on Reddit but there’s another problem and that’s that, mainly for my sake, I need them separated into two sections. Spoilers that have happened and those that haven’t yet. I’m working on something and want to go briefly go over those spoilers and I don’t think I’ll have time to rewatch Seasons 4 and 5 to figure out which spoiler aligns with what. If that makes sense.

If anyone could help me, I’d greatly appreciate it!

9/2/2020 Disney Plus: Marvel, Pixar and more movies and shows you can't watch on launch day

The Incredible Hulk Spider-Man: Homecoming Thor: Ragnarok Black Panther Avengers: Infinity War Ant-Man and The Wasp Spider-Man: Far From Home

Among the most notable movies unavailable come launch day are many of the MCU films. According to MovieWeb (https:/movieweb.com/disney-plus-missing-marvel-star-wars- movies/), the movies not available on Disney+ by Nov. 12 include, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, (wow), Captain America: The Winter Soldier (double wow), and Captain America: Civil War (really?!).

Also missing are newer MCU titles such as Doctor Strange, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and The Wasp, and the most recent MCU/Sony release, Spider-Man: Far From Home. So don’t cancel your Netflix subscription just yet.

That alone takes away many fan favorites from the service. Where can you get your Bucky and Sam fix while you get ready for the upcoming Disney+ series, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier? Don’t worry. The lack of these MCU titles can be expected due to a number of reasons.

For one thing, after the debate over Spider-Man with Sony’s new deal (https:/fansided.com/2019/09/27/spider-man-tom-holland-rejoin-the-mcu/), the MCU Peter Parker solo films won’t be ready for launch day. Also, many of the other MCU titles are currently under different licensing agreements, such as the Netflix (https:/screenrant.com/disney-plus- movies-missing-marketing-trick/) deal with Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, and Avengers: Infinity War.

MCU shows

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier WandaVision Loki What If...?

Hawkeye She-Hulk Moon Knight Ms. Marvel

Over the summer, Marvel (https:/www.marvel.com/articles/movies/sdcc-2019-all-of-the- marvel-studios-news-coming-out-of-hall-h-at-san-diego-comic-con) announced a slate of original series made specifically for Disney+ that will feature many MCU fan favorites. They have only been announced, so there’ll be a wait before these shows are seen, which include The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (get excited–it just began filming (https:/screenrant.com/falcon-winter- solider-disney-plus-starts-filming/) late last month), which is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2020, making it the first of the MCU Disney+ series to be released.

Also scheduled are WandaVision, Loki (yes, he’s back), What If...?, and Hawkeye all in 2021. This isn’t even mentioning other planned Marvel productions (https:/www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/marvel-confirms-3-new-disney-shows- including-she-hulk-moon-knight-1232742) including She-Hulk, Moon Knight, and Ms. Marvel.

Disney and Pixar films

Coco The Incredibles 2

9/2/2020 Disney Plus: Marvel, Pixar and more movies and shows you can't watch on launch day

Up National Treasure The Mighty Ducks Maleficent Tarzan

Pixar fans may notice that newer releases, including Coco and The Incredibles 2 are not yet available on Disney+, but a shocking one missing is Up. Another odd missing film? Disney+ will have National Treasure: Book of Secrets available (https:/d23.com/basically-everything-you- can-watch-on-disney-plus/) but not the original 2004 film.

There are countless more major films that are not available for streaming on Disney+’s launch date, including The Mighty Ducks, which oddly enough the animated series will be available, Maleficent, even with the sequel just coming out, and Tarzan, with its classic Phil Collins soundtrack.

Other films and shows

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Solo: A Star Wars Story John Carer The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Sky High

Enchanted Diary of a Female President Star Wars: The Clone Wars (season 7) Chip N’ Dale Marvel’s Storyboards

Also missing are recent Star Wars films such as The Last Jedi (https:/fansided.com/2019/10/23/star-wars-sides-rey-rise-skywalker/)and Solo: A Star Wars Story, and other Disney films from this decade like John Carer and The Sorceror’s Apprentice. More 21st century Disney movies missing include Sky High and Enchanted.

With the announcement of Disney+, there were quite a few original shows and movies that were announced, but don’t get too excited. You’ll have to wait a bit longer for some of them as they also won’t be available at launch.

Other shows that won’t be available when Disney+ launches but are coming soon include Diary of a Female President (https:/ohmy.disney.com/news/2019/07/11/diary-of-a-female- president-gina-rodriguez/), season 7 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars (https:/ew.com/tv/2019/08/23/clone-wars-final-season-date/), a new Chip N’ Dale (https:/www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/disney-unveils-animated-slate-chip-n-dale- monsters-at-work-at-annecy-1217467) series, and the interview show Marvel’s Storyboards (https:/www.slashfilm.com/marvels-storyboards-show/).

Of course, there are the highly anticipated revivals that many fans, especially nostalgic millennials, are looking forward to, like the Lizzie McGuire (https:/www.buzzfeed.com/stephenlaconte/lizzie-mcguire-reboot-first-look-disney- photos) revival that recently began production.

RELATED STORY: Here’s how you can subscribe to the Disney+ streaming service (https://fansided.com/2019/11/01/how-to-subscribe-disney-plus/)

https://fansided.com/2019/11/11/disney-plus-titles-unavailable-launch/ 3/5

While Disney won’t release their entire library on launch date, presumably as a way of not giving everything away too soon, there are titles that will hopefully be added soon to the service and others that have been announced that fans are counting down the days to their release.

This list will be updated as Disney+ announces more titles available on launch day.
