Starting to lean towards no for reasons i recently stated above

I stand by no team page until release.

David Harbour’s long run at Comic Con was meant to be a joke as mentioned above and how can I trust it? I agree with keeping the sandbox, but we won’t know until release time what the truth is about the team. That said, Val is definitely not to be in the page should you go with it now, it may be true that she’s trying to off them.

The Guardians were basically a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits in their first film. I say yes to making a page. Plus if whatever the new team name is a massive spoiler we can use the Thunderbolts page as a spoiler buffer. Also since I don’t know where we’re putting Bob / the Sentry, I’d say we can put him there atm.

Regarding Val, she’s basically the same as Fury. Although this begs the question of should Fury be listed on the Avengers page? Does he count if he never actually leads the team? I never actually thought about it now that it’s brought up I think he should be listed as founder, and Val can maybe be listed as founder on the team. Although if the spoilers are correct then the only reason she forms the team is by accident while trying to kill them all.

The Guardians at least became a team and stayed together in their first film. I still say wait on the page personally.

I mean if this is a bunch random characters joining together to stop a threat why call it Thunderbolts if they aren’t supposed to be a team. Why not go with a storyline title from the comics. I think they are supposed to be a team.

Yeah but if they don't stay together why make a page. The Marvels were a team and we aren't making a page for them.

That’s fair. Although in that case they were a team of three and two already had CSP’s. Now I do kind of want to make a page, but it might be pointless. I’m pushing for the Thunderbolts page because it helps group a bunch of random characters together.

I really hope they’ll be one and they most likely will because all the characters (except probably Bucky) fit better there. Most of the characters are in the "other" pages (Other Superheroes, Other Supervillains, Families, etc…) except John Walker who's in the military page and Taskmaster who's in the Red Room and they aren't part of those anymore (especially John he's a superhero I feel he's better under the super soldiers section of Other Superheroes)

So Mephisto was name dropped in the latest episode of Agatha. I want to make a character folder for him, but I don’t think there’s any actual tropes for him.

Also since we’re holding off on a Thunderbolts page, where should we put Bob/Sentry atm?

Should we go spoilers on or off? Just call him Bob or just straight up do a Bob Reynolds/The Sentry folder?

Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure he was officially announced as Sentry. I think this is the same situation as Red Hulk. What was decided on that btw?

Edit: I created Bob under MCU: Other Superheroes. I went with the same spoiler policy as Red Hulk.

I also tried making a Mephisto folder but realized I have no tropes for him. That did make me realized the various demons in the MCU are split between MCU: Dimensions and MCU: Deities. Chthon is listed on the Deities page while all the other Demons are listed under "Other" on the Dimension's page.

Also the Living Tribunal is under the "Other" section when he should be under the "Cosmic Entities" section. That one's just a nitpick but should be addressed.

[up][up] Can you provide a link where him being Sentry is said? Like at least Red Hulk has been in trailers and press stuff everything I could find just refers to Bob as Bob. Which leads me to believe that is supposed to be a big reveal,

Huh. I looked for official confirmation and while there are a ton of news sites saying he’s the sentry, and when Steven Yeun was playing the role his creator Robert Kirkman straight up said it, I don’t think there’s actually been legitimate confirmation by marvel.

I mean Wikipedia lists him as the Sentry, but that’s Wikipedia so I’m 50/50 on referencing them, but if it wasn’t at least semi confirmed a mod there would have removed it like we’re contemplating now.

The only confirmation the Sentry is in the film is his logo being on that belt buckle. So like I said I considered this the same as Red Hulk, as kind of a common knowledge thing. I left the folder title spoiler-free, then added and crosswicked tropes over. The Main Thunderbolts* (2025) page straight up talks about him being the Sentry.

On a related Thunderbolts note, is Yelena Black Widow? I would say she’s taken on the mantle, but other places are just calling her Yelena while everyone else gets their codenames.

I don't really think we should leave Bob unspoiled. It seems like the film is setting it up as a twist.

I think the same thing, but other people are already troping him as the Sentry, so idk how we should do it.

I've done some collating and created a couple of sandboxes for character pages.

Any thoughts? Alot of this is me throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Some of this might not be needed. I personally would want to keep the solo pages for Agatha and Robbie, but the new CSP rules aren't allowing it.

Looks good, but Dormammu and Kaecilius should be included among the supernatural threats.

Nope I would keep them at the Dimensions page. They are so closely tied to the Dark Dimension.

[up] Agreed. Either way, good job on them [tup]

Though didn't we get rid of the items unless they are somewhat sentient? Like why is the Hell Cycle and Hell Charger listed. They are just vehicles with no personalities.

[up]Hell Charger was already there, must have gotten missed during the purge. I created the hell cycle but it only has one trope so could probably be cut or merged.

Also I added links for Dormammu and Kaecilius, and I got rid of the distinction between human and alien magic users and just shoved Loki at the top of the magic users section. It seemed superfluous to distinguish them to me. I also added the Salem Seven.

My one questioned character is D’Spayre. He’s not really a supernatural villain in the MCU, as he’s an enhanced human who eventually powers up to become a Loa, which is basically more a god or amped up powered person. He doesn’t use any magic or is really supernatural in any way.
