I've just started watching the new spiderman show but I can't work out if this is supposed to be a Tom Holland spiderman origin story or if its just a new spiderman from the multiverse somewhere.

The show is awesome btw, definitely worth the watch if you haven't already but yeah, I can't work it out if its MCU Peter

Im not a mega fan or nothing so i wonder, how exactly did banner "fuse" with hulk again? Looking at it back after a while, it seems banner just "killed" hulk and took over his body which seems sad looking back at thor ragnarok.

Im probaly way too late at this but wanne know if someone has a quick answer

All made from EVA foam! I give the templates out away for free in the description of my tutorial videos on YouTube, so you can make your own too! ☺️

And then later that comes into play again, Strange choosing the word "our" when he is serving as a distraction and a trap for Thanos.

That's a little detail I've never seen mentioned on the internet. I'll also point out that correlating scene in Endgame is where the big three confront The Mad Titan. That one I have seen mentioned.

Just thought I'd put that out there

Bucky's line "I don't think we realized what it actually meant for a black man to hold the shield" was his sign that he understood the greater scrutiny, racism and double standards that Sam would encounter. Same as the shit Mackie's facing now.

I just don´t get why people can´t go to the movies without pre-determined opinions about the movies coming out. Brave Nev World looks amazing in all these short clips that are releasing right now and people are slamming it? Look, if you don´t want the movie to succeed, just don´t go watch it. But for heaven´s sake, don´t slam the opinion down the throats on us that genulily belives that this movie will be great. It is the weirdest behaviour. Get some fresh air or something?

I know Peter is strong, but he’s still Spider-Man. Something like that is too big of a deal to just gloss over.

“I stopped pulling my punches.” ≠ “I killed people.”

... can't they just ask America Chavez to make a portal to go and look for Monica Rambeau? I guess you could say Fury doesn't know of her existence, but I'd say it's annoying how he has as much information on random people as required by the writer.

I'm sure Strange could cast a spell to pinpoit which universe she's in, even.

The Phalanx are the main villains an intergalactic artificial intelligence that travel to different planets and judge them if they see they are unworthy they will assimilate them and ultimately destroy them. In my idea. In this movie the Phalanx would decide to judge Groot’s homeworld Planet X, after judging it they would deem it unworthy and would attempt to destroy it. Groot is connected to his home planet so he can feel the coming danger for Planet X, so the guardians’s new mission would be to stop the Phalanx from destroying Planet X. The emotional core of the movie would be Rocket and Groot’s friendship and family bond. Like Guardians 3 this movie would include flashbacks showing how Rocket and the Original Groot met and became best friends. Although they are able to stop the Phalanx from destroying Planet X, the king of Planet X is killed, so Groot decides to leave the guardians to stay behind and lead his people as their new king. Rocket and Groot would have a tearful and emotional goodbye, so the movie would end with Rocket the only remaining original Guardian member from the first team in the team.This would be a new guardians of the galaxy trilogy.that would follow the new team and while taking place in the same universe would be follow new themes and plot points separate from the first trilogy. What do you guys think

So now that Brave New World is coming in TWO WEEKS, i have a question that was buried Deep in my Mind that emerged recently, which is: What other Heroes, like Spider Man, Ant Man etc, think of Sam Wilson taking on the Mantle of Captain America and wield the Shield, in Universe.

What do you guys think would be their Thoughts and Reactions?

When Deadpool finds the worst Logan at the bar and he blacks out, Deadpool says 'look at those jammies, that only took 20 years'?

i tried looking online and i couldn't find anything this was referencing? maybe i didn't look hard enough but... yeah bit lost

was he wearing the suit underneath? is it a reference to how he doesn't often wear the wolverine costume?

Instead of getting a movie that headlines one of our main characters, we getting a film that brings together a bunch of supporting characters that either played a villain or ally in a previous film and I couldn't be more excited. It looks like it'll really showcase how crazy it's gonna be getting these characters to get along and play nice together when they're known for being the leader or fighting solo. I'm so ready. I know I'll love the movie. Also excited that we're finally getting to see what Val's plan is leading up to.

I just kept getting the impression that many marvel fans were not happy about this movie being made or wanting to go see it but I am super stoked about it

So, my friend has somehow never watched any of the MCU. We made plans to go and watch the new Captain America that’s coming out, because I want to go see it and he wants to finally get caught up. In the next two or so weeks, he plans on catching up, and he knows how much effort he’s going to have to put in to do so. I think the only Marvel movie he’s ever watched is Black Widow. I made a list of the bare essential movies I think he should watch, which include these:

Iron Man Thor Captain America: The First Avenger The Avengers Captain America: The Winter Soldier Guardians of the Galaxy (Optional?) Avengers: Age of Utron Captain America: Civil War Doctor Strange (Optional?) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (Optional?) Thor: Ragnarok Avengers: Infinity War Captain Marvel Avengers: Endgame The Falcon and The Winter Soldier

Our other friend thinks that he should watch every single movie until the end of Phase 3, or he shouldn’t watch any at all and should just go into the new Captain America blindly. I can’t see the logic in this, but he has been a Marvel fan for longer than me, so I want other opinions. Do you think any are missing from this list, and what do you think about the ‘optional’ ones which I am considering excluding to make it less harsh? (Baring in mind I will be watching more than a quarter of these with him and will be there to explain anything that doesn’t make sense without completely spoiling the movies he’s missed). Or, do you think he should watch every single one? I know that’s a lot, but he’s genuinely considering it and is open to both. All thoughts/opinions are welcome.

I got to interview Anthony Mackie, Harrison Ford and more this morning at the London photocall for Captain America: Brave New World so check them out if you're interested

I recently did a rewatch of the infinity saga, and I found it really funny that Loki and Tony are both considered the biggest narcissists throughout the entire series and yet at the end of both their stories, they sacrifice the most compared to any other character. And it’s not even their ending in which they sacrifice the most if you look throughout the story, there’s multiple times where Tony “ lays on the wire”, and even Loki does selfless things and service of other people. I mean, Loki ruled Asgard properly the entire time he faked being Odin. but that’s just my opinion lmk what yall think.

Recently, I rewatched WandaVision and I can't stress enough how much I love the concept behind this show. It's brilliant.

I'm not American but I grew up watching American sitcoms. It's such a huge part of my life.

Sitcoms are absurd and funny but, when needed, can also be deep and poignant.

Moreover, they are culturally important because, with their absurdity, they can truly highlight the sheer ridiculousness of Life.

In short, I love sitcoms and what they represent.

So, while I'm not sure I liked the last two episodes, I love the idea behind WandaVision.

I find it bold. I find it creative. But, most of all, I think it's a beautiful homage to sitcoms and their importance in the history of American television.

Spoilers Ahead (obviously)

I wanna preface this by saying Ive only seen the first ep so far. So in the first episode of YFNHSM we see Dr Strange come through a portal fighting a version of Venom (Kraven?) and that's what brings the spider that bites Peter. I think that probably in the last episodes of the season, the villain will be this version of Venom and Peter will go to Dr Strange for help after remembering seeing him defeat Venom in the first ep. Strange won't remember this but agrees to help anyway but during the course of the fight, he opens a portal to send Venom through but accidentally sends them back in time to the first episode through which both Strange and an Oscorp spider both go which causes the creation of Spider-Man. Strange seemed to recognise the school and remark that he wasn't supposed to be there so I think this has a good chance of happening.

What do you think?

TLDR: The villain of the final eps will be Venom, Peter will go to Dr Strange for help who will accidentally send Venom back in time causing the scene we see in ep one and inadvertently cause the spider-bite making spiderman a whole time loop bootstrap paradox.

I want to get more into the comics but people make me feel like an idiot for enjoying the MCU. I’m a huge Guardians of the Galaxy fan and want to get into them. I’ve heard the comics are mediocre yet purists tell me they are 10000% better than the movies. I just don’t know how and where to start and it feels like the comic fans are super unwelcoming and dismissive of anything that doesn’t perfectly encapsulate 60 years of issues of a character.

Some time ago, I thought of several ideas that could expand the MCU- more particularly, side timelines that show what was going on in the MCU that were never shown onscreen, especially when it takes place over months or even years.

My ideas:

-Ronin: a TV series that tells the story of Clint Barton after his family was blipped, detailing his time spent becoming Ronin, learning different languages, and traveling the world to slaughter criminals one by one as he grapples with his own trauma and grief in private. Taking place between the events of Infinity War and Endgame, the series ends when Ronin slaughters Akihiko and encounters Nat again.

-Stark: a series about Tony Stark’s life after Howard’s assassination. It tells how Tony became CEO of Stark Industries, and follows Tony as he learns to manage a legacy left behind by his father. Taking place between the assassination of Howard and the events of Iron Man, The series ends when Tony meets Ho Yinsen in captivity.

-The Widows: a series from multiple perspectives, taking place after the events of Black Widow. Last we left, Yelena told the Widows to go free and live life after being freed from the Red Room. This series follows the freed Widows as they adjust to civilian life as free people for the first time, occasionally using what remains of their Red Room skills to get through their everyday lives. Each episode follows one former Widow and the series culminates in a heartfelt reunion between all of them.

-Morgan and Pepper: a series taking place after Endgame. It follows the lives of Morgan and Pepper Stark as they move on from Tony’s death. Pepper will wear the Rescue suit too, and some scenes will show Morgan in her life at school, trying to grow up as a normal kid while being overshadowed by the far reaching legacy of her father.

What do y’all think? Would these be good?

listed as spoiler because of event mentions in previous films

So you’re telling me a Red Hulk goes on a rampage and Hulk, or She-Hulk, or the teen Hulk who is now in universe, doesn’t show up?

That’s going to be the biggest suspension of disbelief to me.

So recently I've been reading the Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man tie-in comic that takes during the time skip which adds some really interesting information specifically about Nico Minoru.

In issue 1 we learn that Nico ran away from her biological family in Los Angles for unknown reasons and ended up in the foster care system where she was adopted by Susan O'Hara a YFNSM original character my theory is that Susan is an ancestor of Miguel O'Hara thus making him legally related to Nico.

It's likely that despite all the negativity surrounding Captain America Brave New World, that movie is likely to be another sloppy forgettable mess when it comes out. The Thunderbolts* on the other hand, is going to resonate with the general audience this summer. There isn't that much controversy surrounding the film, yet. Other than its' choice of characters representing the core roster and the choice of color variety in the background setting and possibly the editing. But, other than that, I think the general audience are going to have a good time with the Thunderbolts* and maybe the comic book fans will have their own debates about whether or not they like the movie. So, maybe it's just dumb luck or it could be fate that the Thunderbolts* will be a sleeper hit this summer.

I did the thing. As soon as I finished the first episode of YFNSM I went back and graded every other premiere episodes because I want to see how each of them hold up.

Let's get down to business.

So how do you define modern? TAS onward. How will it be graded? On a scale of A to F. Will there be surprise? Yes.

Bottom three: 2017, Unlimited and Ultimate.

2017 sucks. If you want a conclusive proof as to why the MCU seems done with the classic origin, this is it. It tried to recreate the origin on a near 1:1 but with none of the joy and all of the exposition (dumped in scientific terms even god knows why they put Robbie Daymond through it). And I do not tolerate "talk, don't show" well. I quit halfway when Peter began over-analyzing whatever the hell happened to him 7 minutes in, and only got the gut to come back to finish it so I can walk the walk. F.

Unlimited is a boring and alien rehash of TAS. You get Pete here trying to save JJJ's son when he's stuck on Counter-Earth and clear his name. That's the premise. It got some nice bit like the talk with MJ and Peter's will but that's all I could remember. Oh and the animation is dated. C-.

Ultimate fucked around. It's pacing is atrocious given how it pauses every time you see someone new. Look, you can cut the crap with the intro panel to Chi McBride's Fury and just have him shoot the damn gun and it will work just fine, we know he's a super spy. Can't believe the first 30 seconds of episode 1 (from JJJ's speech to Peter's returning banter) led to whatever it is but oh well, at least the animation is the most fluid here. C+.

The average: TAS.

This is the baseline. This is what you should be getting. The dialogues flow smoothly and not being interrupted every fifteen seconds just so your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man gets annoying at you for not understanding a damn word. We also get to know the cast at Daily Bugle well and the introduction to the Lizard is fine as is. The animation is good for 1994's standard but dated for today's just like Unlimited. B+.

Top three: TNAS, Spectacular and YFNSM.

You'll be pleasantly surprised how mature these three can get to some degree. Partly due to the writing, but for TNAS and YFNSM, it's also due to the upgraded age rating. They are both TV-PG versus every other shows being TV-Y7.

YFNSM. Best Doctor Strange appearance since Infinity War. A rather convoluted way to get the spider biting Peter (I'm mixed on the matter). A strong showing of the life in 2010s NYC, well as strong as you could afford with animation dating itself back in 2005. Some strong writing here and there (the pizza store scene and the subtle hint at racial discrimination from Lonnie's side). Overall, it did enough to justify four years of being in development hell. A-.

Spectacular. It is hamstrung by the age rating, yes. However, the relationship between Vulture and Goblin is at most interesting here as this show is not shying away from depicting class inequality in a non-subtle way. Goblin is intimidating here as he is everywhere. Plus, Josh Keaton's delivery is great. A-.

TNAS. Where do I start with the MTV show? It jumped into the housing crisis topic akin to that one issue from the 60s (Crisis on Campus) and it hit. The animation is whack, either I'm mishearing something or Neil Patrick Harris sounds a bit off but the writing is solid to make up for it. The villain is also a bonus to the show as he's a proto-version of what you get out of "Instagram heroes" but depicted and tagged properly here. A true hypocrite bar none. A.

There's a new Spiderman show on the block, and I am really fucking angry at the "Spiderman fans" right now. We were screaming at marvel for a new Spiderman show. Sure it isn't in the MCU, but at least that means we can see more villains in Spiderman rogues gallery. Then, they race swapped and genderbent some characters, and now all hell broke loose. Ppl started screaming woke here and there, like okay, common shit, no uncle Ben, uhhh ok, like I'm fine with that, as long as the great responsibility line is passed along. But here's where I got triggered "I swear removing MJ and Ned is the worst desicion marvel made" dude, we were complaining about how fucking similar it is to the MCU Spiderman despite it being in another universe, but now you're saying Ned and mj not being included is shit?? Do you know, how many bitches Spiderman has? And Ned isn't even a popular friend to Spiderman, it's harry!

I fucking swear, don't listen to Spiderman fans, they aren't Spiderman fans. I'm not saying it being "woke" is good, but if done right, genderbending and race swapping is actually ok, like the lizard being a woman. What changes? Nothing. Norman's black? He's still a billionaire. So who cares? If her or his character and story remains the same, it's fine.

Ok it might seem weird but what if Tony didn’t learn from his mistakes and continued making weapons and became rude and money hungry and only cared for himself and became superior iron man, it might sound kinda dumb but i thought it could be a cool concept and a interesting twist on superior iron man.

Claire/her neighbor

Foggy

Karen

his mom

the dead priest

kingpin/Vanessa(maybe)

I forget if Bullseye knows

Nadeem

The Defenders/Frank/Colleen(I think)

Stick/Elektra

SheHulk

the 2 dudes that created his suits

Deadpool(for funsies)

is that it?

From the very first episode, her torment begins. And it never lets up. We see and experience how evil Kilgrave is through his extreme abuse of Hope.

And while she's a bit fridged, it's effective as hell.

There's so much that invokes a visceral emotional reaction but the one that stands out is, "Smile."

i am rewatching the mcu, and i got to black widow. the intro is great it really pulls you in with how dark her childhood was and how she had to leave her home at such a young age and go back to the red room.

Random question: Does anyone have cool ideas for 5 second clips I could use for a MCU themed custom soundboard on Discord? So far I have
- a snippet of the Marvel Studios Intro
- "I don't wike it"
- "I understood that reference"
- "since, uh, when?"
- "Avengers assemble!"
- "see you in a minute"
I'm looking for a good "yes" equivalent, maybe a "duh, obviously" and any other fun ones.
