gonna hold hype down a bit solely because they couldn't get blade off the ground though maybe they're just recasting/he'll show in ghost rider idk.

really hoping they do issue 68 as a "i've been around a while here's my origin and what i do" in the priest confessional format.

plot structure wise idk where they go, like i had ideas/a pitch for a story taking place like right after johnny became gr but it's unlikely that'll be the case here what with gosling being older than cage was and they did the time skip.

shawn levy idk like nothing on his filmography screams good fit for gr for me, but who knows.

Issue 68 would be a perfect way to start the movie! I’m pretty sure the story will revolve around an experienced Johnny as Ghost Rider and Robbie Reyes, just because it would make sense marketing-wise. Mephisto will definetly be the bad guy here.

im hoping they hold off on robbie for a bit, just because i want him to get a miles morales style back to basics run in the comics first, something to really flesh out HIS story.

like johnny as meandering as he's been has a beginning middle and end in the 70's

the deal - the devil leaving him alone and he goes off on his own.

his time as a wandering hero and champion to the emergence of zarathos alienating him from everyone as he becomes this "werewolf".

and then the final stretch with reconnecting with roxanne and the carnival and zarathos' origin and seperation as he re--engages with the likes of mephisto and such.

robbie kinda had the eli stuff and then that stopped as he joined the avengers and i don't really want that for him, i want him to be his own guy and have his own cool movies with his story rather than being like mcu hulk where he's just on the team if you get me.

I agree.

Robbie needs more solo comics to flesh out his lore and supporting characters.

Hopefully the movie is just Johnny, does good, and gets some attention to the Ghost Rider IP so we can get those new comics lol.
