So instead of a page for Agatha’s coven, we’re leaning towards just a general magic users page? I’m ok with that. I’m 50/50 on merging MCU: Masters of The Mystic Arts though. I feel it’s a decent size to remain on its own.

What would we call the page? MCU Supernatural, so that it aligns with MCU Supernatural Threats? Then we could also add in unaffiliated but non-evil monsters.

It's gonna be fun on the bun!

[up] I would agree if say we merge back Wong, but that would mean merging his variants page. But as of right now, 92,000 bytes is a little on the shorter side.

That said, I am okay with calling it Supernatual.

Question about relics since we’re removing some of them. Mordo said it decides when its wielder is ready to use it, but does that really make them sentient? I feel like we should cut them on the grounds that regardless of their level of sentience, their tropes are so few and they’re so out of focus compared to the cloak or other sentient weapons like Mjölnir and Stormbreaker that they don’t warrant folders.

Honestly? Probably not. Unless the relic itself demonstrates intelligence, like the Cloak of Levitation. Otherwise, there isn't a need to give them their own section on the character pages.

Indeed, I think need to see the intelligence and not just be told they can happen.

And yeah like Maxy said, the fewer signs of intelligent behavior they show, the less tropable entries they posses. Even for a fully living character, if they are too minor and one-note that they don't really have enough tropable entries, then they don't warrant a folder too. We're not going to give folders to "random guy who crossed the road at 1h 35min" .etc

[down]HE NEEDS A PAGE!

Ok I've got a rudimentary sandbox for MCU Supernatural going. Right now it's mainly just the Masters of the Mystic Arts and the various Witches covens. I'm starting to second guess the supernatural name though, as I think people might confuse them for monsters pages, and I think Marvel is starting to push the supernatural name to mean the Midnight Suns stuff. Maybe Magic or Mystic whould work better. On the short hand I think adding Evanora's coven would make a MCU Witches or MCU Witches Coven would be good atm. Agatha's coven really doesn't belong on the MCU New Jersey page.

It's gonna be fun on the bun!

[up]That feels a little wordy. I'd like to have a one word title, like MCU: Cosmic or MCU: Multiverse, things like that. This page should probably be the main hub for any magic character going forward.

I mean we have Government and Military.

Also I swapped in the images selected for Rio and Wiccan by this thread.

Same here. Can I remove the relics now except the Cloak of Levitation? Wong’s Wand of Watoomb on his page will be cut too.

Regarding the MCU supernatural page, would it be safe to merge Agatha’s CSP onto there for the future? (Her page has 65,728 bytes, while the sandbox has 139,825 bytes, giving us around 205,553 bytes if we merge)

[up] You could also check with the Is This Subpage Too Short? thread to get more consensus on the supernatural page.

Let's figure out what we are calling the page and then worry about that.

Well if we want to go easy as possible we would go MCU: Magic or MCU: Magic Users, but since we don’t call MCU: Cosmic MCU: Space, I’m leaning towards MCU: Mystic.

#1721: Oct 28th 2024 at 8:56:33 AM

[up]Honestly I’m leaning towards MCU: Magic users because while MCU: Mystic and MCU: Magic is a bit broad (in my opinion), MCU: Magic Users is Exactly What It Says on the Tin; Characters in the MCU that use magic.

[down] In that case, I suppose Mystic works the best

[up]Magic Users just doesn’t really mesh well with the naming scheme we generally use for pages. I like Mystic or Mystical because it’s similar to cosmic. It states plainly that’s its a sub-section or branch of the MCU for all the magic users. If we were dividing the MCU into sections it would probably go something like this:

  • MCU: Cosmic
  • MCU: Mystic
  • MCU: Supernatural
  • MCU: Tech
  • MCU: Deities/Mythic
  • MCU: Street Level/City
  • MCU: Global
  • MCU: Multiverse
  • MCU: Dimensions
Generally something like that. Marvel already does the same general kind of catagorization in some of their games like Marvel Strike Force.

I’m fully on board with calling them Mystic or Mystics. Btw, can we make a Daredevil: Born Again page now that this is out?

I say yes. Honestly they just made it possible to make pages for a bunch of shows, including Your Friendly Neigborhood Spider Man, Wonder Man 2025, Marvel Zombies, Ironheart (2025), and Eyes of Wakanda. Well actually Marvel Zombies and Eyes of Wakanda didn't really have much info shown, but the rest completely did to have pages made.
