I like your new Scott Pilgrim gif.
Why thank you, I do hope you won't hold my changing it to Squirrel Girl against me. 
Of course not. Changing it somewhat frequently seems to be the tendency on this forum.

I'd actually quite like to change mine with a little more frequency, it's just that I find inspiration lacking more often than not.
^^ I understand. I can't imagine changing mine frequently as I am not creative at all. I would be out of ideas very quickly.

High five Joe!
Nice to see Madame Gao in there too. How have you been?
Doing very well 
! Good to see someone recognizing Gao too. I'm ashamed to say that I wasn't familiar with here before the shows 
. It seems unimaginable to think she didn't do the role justice though. Are you familiar with the Defenders comics individually?

Excellent, it's great to see you back.
As far as I know, Gao was an original creation for Marvel's Netflix stuff, although there was a fan theory that she'd eventually be revealed as Crane Mother, a character from the old Iron Fist comics. Still, considering her importance to the shows and her popularity, I could easily see her going the way of Harley Quinn and joining the comic book universe too, probably sooner rather than later. 
I've dabbled in some of the Defenders solo stuff, although I was always into Daredevil more so than the others. The original Jessica Jones comics are worth checking out though if you have a chance. There was another run later on which was meant to coincide with the Netflix show, but it had a bit too much of a "what can we think of as a reason for her to come back" kind of vibe to it for my liking. A touch of the Jason Bournes, in other words.
Have you watched the Defenders TV series yet? What did you make of it?
I'll pm my answer since the whole thing would be in the "spoiler" block .

I was confused by this person's logic. I have two guesses: 1) Did the person think this site was the only place on the internet to find pictures of attractive women? 2) Did the person want this site to protect them from the entire internet? 
Avengers 4 (insert real title) doesn't have a thread yet, and you have probably already seen this information but I wanted to post this here in case you haven't.
A quote from Feige about the movie:
QuoteWhile Feige refused to reveal any details about the characters and stories Marvel has yet to introduce, he did promise a definitive end to the franchise that built Marvel. Avengers 4, he said, will “bring things you’ve never seen in superhero films: a finale.” This may mean a lot of dead Avengers at the hands of the villain Thanos, who has appeared sporadically and tantalizingly since the first Avengers movie back in 2012. But the Marvel Cinematic Universe will live on. “There will be two distinct periods. Everything before Avengers 4 and everything after. I know it will not be in ways people are expecting,” Feige teased.
When I hear Downey, Johanssen, Evans, Ruffalo, etc. talk about the final two movies, they all talk about an ending and sadness with it being over. There are some who will clearly survive, but many of the originals will be gone either by dying or maybe retiring.
The way he talks about Avengers 4 makes me less confident about losing some characters in this year's movie. I still think it would be a good idea to help create a better story, though.
Garth Ennis has continued doing stuff for the Punisher
Evening lads and lasses, apologies for not being around much as of late. A particularly unpleasant viral infection hit me like a ton of bricks towards the end of January and I'm still in the process of getting back in tune with the land of the living. In the meantime, I just wanted to keep you all in the loop and to let you know that I haven't abandoned you. 
Normal service will be resumed soon, not least in that godforsaken contest.
Yikes! Glad to hear you are feeling better sir! I suggest you get a move on in your comp for the sake of civility!
Oh, good to hear you're doing better, Michael 
Good to hear you are on the mend, Michael.
Thanks guys. The plan is to try and ease myself back into it, so we'll have to see how that goes.
