Is it me or is marvel ending some characters, for some example: it looks like deadpool and wolverine was the last deadpool movie thats ever gonna happen and the same with venom the last dance.
With how ancient the mandarin and ten Rings organization is, I can't help but wonder if he has ever encountered The Hand or even maybe the city of Kun Lun, as it is a similar concept to the city of Ta Lo in Shang Chi. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts on this was?
I may have missed some important detail, but I know it is stated in the movie that Stark Industries is the largest weapons company in the world. It's a huge fortune and it's been acquiring it over decades and decades; then one day Tony decides that the company that survives by building weapons is going to stop making them, and since he took over the company entirely upon Obadiah's death, this was followed to the letter. So how does the company still sustain itself? I may have lost something, and that's kind of my question, but I don't know what the company has become since the movie. Thank you in advance for any help. ♥️
Hi! I'm a 50-year-old mom who's pretty consistently watched everything Marvel has come out with, but now my 11-year-old is getting into it and so we started at the beginning and are watching chronologically. We've been watching all the movies and AoS and we're at the point that all the other older tv shows start coming into play but it seems unnecessarily complicated and really leans away from the story of the avengers, which is what he's really interested in. A lot of it is way too dark for an 11-year-old anyways. So I guess I'm asking, what is really necessary for the story, and what's appropriate for younger fans? AoS doesn't have much to do with it after the second season and he isn't really that into it anyways, so we'll probably stop that. From what I remember, he might really like Daredevil, and with the new show coming out that might be worth watching? What about Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders, Inhumans, Punisher, Runaways, Cloak and Dagger etc.? I don't think they actually have much to do with the cycle right? I know the new TV shows really tie in and he's already seen some of those, but some will still be too intense or scary for him so will probably just have to give him a brief summary and move on. Any tips?
I've been thinking recently: What's one MCU trilogy that a typical non-Marvel fan can watch without getting confused? My first initial thought was Thor, until I realized they make lengthy references to other films that a non-regular Marvel fan wouldn't get. (Battle of New York, the short-lived Age of Ultron, etc). Then I thought Iron Man, but were it not for the huge gap of events between 2 and 3, it would make the cut. And then there's the Ant-Man trilogy... yeah, no, sorry...
The best examples I can think of are the GOTG and Captain America trilogies, which lightly glaze over the timeskips in between. But what's your opinion? What's the one MCU trilogy someone can watch without needing to binge everything else?
I know everyone is scared of what's gonna happen to doom after the end of this saga because he's being played by rdj, but I think doom can still be around, just differently.
In the end of secret wars, doom is defeated, but at the end, we find out that earth 616 (or 19999, still not sure which it exactly is I've heard the MCU be called both) a Victor von doom exists (played by a different actor) but isn't doom yet. Also I'm pretty sure the fantastic 4 might switch universes at some point. So in a future fantastic 4 sequel, the team finds out about this and make sure to keep an eye on him to see if he's going to turn into the doctor doom capable of destroying universes. What they predict comes to life and now they have to deal with this doom.
Doom sees 4 people who surprisingly know alot about him and want to get rid of him just because of a different version of him, so he decides to get rid of them first and kinda see them as villains. Thoughts?
I am proponent of the theory that the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be rebooted following Avengers: Secret Wars. It's certainly an exciting idea, the opportunity for the studio to tell fresh stories with a clean or semi-clean slate. New characters can be introduced without the baggage of retrofitting them into a fairly bloated preexisting universe. New stories can be told with older characters played by new actors. More importantly, Marvel Studios can set a new standard for a looser style of film making that isn't restrained to some standard of uniformity. Easy to say there is a lot of potential in a rebooted universe.
I am curious what characters people would be keen to see introduced first in this new take on the MCU and the changes you would been keen to see Marvel Studios implement in their filmmaking and storytelling.
I for one would love to see a MCU centred around the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters while the Avengers characters that are still around sort of do their own thing in the periphery. Holding off on characters we have already seen and exploring characters that haven't had the spotlight yet e.g. Nova, Blade, Ghost Rider, Siver Surfer etc.
More self-contained stories set in alternate universes that don't have to be connected to the main timeline. Loki certained showed what can come from that level of creative freedom
When I watched daredevil season 3 the first time I thought it was a masterpiece. I thought I was the best handling of the whole no kill rule any comic book adaptation had ever done.
That is until Disney had to go and ruin it. The whole finale confrontation has been rendered meaningless. Everything Fisk said has turned out right and everything Daredevil said has turned out wrong. Fisk did not spend the rest of his life in a cell, the city did not reject him and he had no trouble rebuilding his NYC criminal empire, he was indisputable just correct when he said no jail could contain him. The threat against Venessa turned out to mean literally nothing. Nothing is stopping him from murdering Karen or Foggy if he wants to.
Disney itself seems to be saying that offing Fisk was the objectively Correct move Daredevil was just straight up wrong to not kill him there. Everything Daredevil said to kingpin thier turned out false and everything Kingpin said was true.
So let's say the events of Doomsday and Secret Wars are going to affect many universes, obviously including Earth-616 and Earth-10005, and specifically Earth-10005 wouldn't have survived the events without the original Logan being alive to help out, that in itself means that the events of Secret Wars or Doomsday will lead to the erasure of Earth-10005 as Logan is Dead and the battle would be lost, which has now been reversed considering we've got New Logan to fight in his place and help the Avengers survive the events, including the universes surviving too. It makes sense from the TVA's perspective of being outside of time, where everything in the future relative to the MCU has already happened for the TVA, or is already happening for the TVA, as their perspective is obviously that of all time happening at once. If the events of Doomsday and/or Secret Wars are that catastrophic that they lead to timelines being erased, then god knows what's going to happen in those films. But now I understand and the whole anchor being concept, which I hated before grasping it, actually works quite well, it's just really complicated.
Ebon has caught the spotlight lately from playing Richie in The Bear and being cast as Ben Grimm/ The Thing, he also plays Micro in The Punisher TV show. He is very good at playing broken characters, thats Ben Grimm.
F4 is the only film I'm really excited for from the MCU currently, the cast is very strong in their own rights and each one has the potential to bring so much to the table
Without Scott Lang coming back from the quantum realm, there would have been no Avengers victory or reverse snap.
Tony says Scott coming back was a billion-to-one cosmic fluke. Tony must be very incorrect on his estimation.
Also, if Scott coming back was such a low probability, then after that did occur successfully, what do you think the new odds of success against Thanos was after that? Mathematically it can’t be that crazy low.
So, the Infinity Saga has developed from the beginning the path of the Infinity Stones to Thanos, developing its main characters very well, and even Thanos, but I realize that now it is different. There are many disjointed, disconnected and undeveloped characters, and to be honest, all the films in the Infinity Saga are perfect for me, which is different with the films in the new phases, which makes me discouraged for Avengers 5, as I have a fondness for these heroes and I fear that Marvel will ruin the Avengers name due to lack of time to better develop Doctor Doom as a universal villain and the heroes in a charismatic way.
It is obvious that the trailers are foreshadowing Norman becoming the Green Goblin. Maybe not in season 1 but a future season like 2 or 3.
I hope the exercution is almost as good as Doc Ock's origin in the Spider-Man PS4 game.
What are your thoughts about this foreshadowing?
Imagine if the Marvel Cinematic Universe had an achievement system, like in video games. You could unlock achievements for doing things like completing a certain trilogy or watching a full season of a show and the names could be based on quotes from the MCU. For example, completing Captain America’s trilogy could earn you an achievement called “I Could Do This All Day.” No spoilers in the achievement names though!
I'd love to hear out your suggestions...
I’m not going to pretend I’m the largest ghost rider fan in the world but from what I have read… he absolutely would not come to my head at ALL for the character. I’m really struggling to see actually why this is a popular fan cast?
Usually even if I personally disagree with a cast I can see the reason behind it but this it’s just all blank
It seems that every leaked version of the first draft of the script has Peter teaming up with some other hero like Daredevil or Punisher, but literally none of them have Peter be his own hero in his own movie without any team up.
A daredevil team up would work as its own thing, maybe as a fun easter egg for a few episodes in a Daredevil show, but c'mon, it's Spidey. Why does he have to have another hero in every single movie of his? It seems like he can't do anything by himself, and I get that they're trying to show that this version of Spidey is inexperienced, but now I thought that the inexperienced phase was over, and that they're going to make him stand on his own ground for once. Him having a hero mentor in every one of his stories kind of perpetually confines him to the state of being extremely youthful and not a "real" hero like the others.
I just want a Spider-Man movie where there are no other heroes, just Peter by himself and the villains. The time spent on the team up can be focused on introducing Miles and building him up to be Spidey. That way he can be Peter's colleague or his successor if they end up killing Peter off. I just want Peter not to be so dependent.
To start off, this question is not about race. But why did Sam Wilson (AKA Falcon) become Captain America? Why didn’t he just stay as the Falcon and Marvel make a few Falcon movies? Why not just honor your friend’s legacy as Captain America and leave that “role” empty?
One of my friends is really into Batman and fantasy style films as a whole and has never actually seen any MCU films. It made me think, if you're introducing someone to Star Wars, LotR, or any other major film saga, you're looking at a small fraction of the number of MCU films.
For a fun discussion, let's say you want to show someone the MCU, but realize that 34 films is too much, how low can you really get it to not miss anything major, but still show off the full universe?
Some go without speaking to me, like any Avengers film, Civil War, the first Iron Man, but what do you consider to be the must see and the skipable?
So. I have a thing against endings, and I never watched Endgame. I watched everything up to it, and loved Marvel for years, but I've been sorta scared to watch this one since it's the end of at least one character I love.
But when the portals opened and Chadwick stepped out, my heart absolutely shattered. What an incredible final stand, in so many more ways.
No matter how long it's been, how many reviews I've heard, whatever. My heart breaks for so much more than the writers intended.
Rest in Peace, Chadwick
This is kind of my plot idea for if they're doing a Star Lord solo movie.
He's he living on his own he could live in an apartment or house. He still visits his grandma. I imagine him either working in a trade or as like a grocery store clerk no in between lol. And he gets visions of the master of the sun calling upon him for some great threat because of his celestial DNA idk. Where he then can take mantle of master of the sun somehow or stay as star lord but maybe gain his elemental guns.
I don't really know all the plot details but that's something I think they could kinda do. He could meet back up with the guardians or it could be a mostly solo adventure with some new side characters. What do y'all think?
So I am working my way through a bunch of Phase Four and Five movies that I did not see from 2021 through 2023 due to some roommate drama going on in my life (roommate ditched me, had to pull 2 jobs to cover rent fun times!).
Anyway, saw Shang Chi for the first time a little bit ago, and I really enjoyed it. It seemed to harken back to the Phase One and Two days of a simple introduction story. I didn't mind Akwafina as much, she didn't seem to be too over the top in this one, and I bought her and Shang Chis friendship.
Loved the little tough of bringing back the fake Mandarin from IM3, and Morris was adorable.
One common criticism I heard of this movie was the final CGI fight, and I actually didn't have an issue with it (the Cgi didn't seem rough to me) though the beginning bus fight, though it had some interesting hand to hand/using the environment flavor had some rubbery looking Cgi when they were leaning outside of the bus. One fight I enjoyed more was the bamboo scaffolding fight, that was super fun.
Overall, it was a solid mcu movie to me. Maybe not in my top 5 (IW, NWH, Endgame, Winter Soldier, Ant Man (don't judge me on that last one haha)) but in that next tier right below.
So already posted my Eternals review, so next one i have not seen is BP2 this weekend!
In the Falcon in the Winter Soldier, Sam has the chance to take the super soldier serum. He chooses not to. Why? I understand he’s not a super soldier in the comics and it’s probably not his character. It just doesn’t make sense that if your “day job” is fighting world ending threats, that you wouldn’t take something that would greatly assist in this. Why did he choose not to? If it were to be you, would you make the same decision? I definitely would take it.
I've seen a fair amount posters pick up one of the Netflix shows and then ask if they have to watch Defenders. With the new season of Daredevil coming out soon, I'm willing to bet more people are picking up the original series, so because I'm currently sick, bored and unproductive in my sickness and boredom, here is the unofficial guide to whether or not you have to watch Defenders.
If you watch Daredevil: You have to watch Defenders. The first scene of Daredevil season 3 picks up straight from a scene in Defenders and a lot of the first half of the season is dealing with the consequences from the events of Defenders. Furthermore most of the plot threads set up in season 2 and two separate DD characters' major story arcs are resolved in Defenders, so if you want any closure, you kind of have to watch.
If you watch Jessica Jones: You don't have to watch Defenders. Outside of maybe one or two minor references at the beginning season 2, JJ really isn't really impacted at all by the events of Defenders. There is one character conflict in season 1 that is resolved in Defenders, but it's a story thread that has no impact on seasons 2 and 3.
If you watch Luke Cage: You should probably watch Defenders. The season 1 cliffhanger is resolved in Defenders, and one major character goes through an event that is integral to their character going forward. While the other events of Defenders aren't really impactful to plot of season 2, a few characters from Defenders make notable guest appearances (i.e. roles more significant to the plot/episode than just cameos) throughout season 2.
If you watch Iron Fist: If you're bothering to watch Iron Fist you're probably already a completionist planning to watch Defenders. Either way almost all of season 1 is spent setting up Defenders and season 2 is significantly impacted by the events of Defenders. One character from Defenders is a major character in season 2 as well. Out of all the shows this would probably be the weirdest one to watch and skip Defenders.
If you watch Punisher: You can absolutely skip Defenders. Punisher isn't in Defenders and the impact of the show is pretty minimal outside of a maybe a minor reference or two in this series.
Curious to see what people think when the Mutant Saga inevitably comes. I’d personally imagine they would 1. avoid too many references to the Fox movies (so not Magneto, Stryker, etc.) and 2. Keep the villain big and fantastical, because goodness knows they won’t go grounded again (and also, it would separate themselves from the Fox movie approach). Maybe Onslaught?
I know this post might seem a bit pointless since...duh, it IS a TV show, right?! well, let me explain what I mean...
As much as I've enjoyed the other MCU shows (more than most people have, it seems), I still feel like the individual episodes have been missing that television structure. Everyone has complained about the seasons not being long enough and I totally agree with that, but it's more about the episodes themselves for me. Each episode of Daredevil was an hour long and it felt like A LOT happened. I can't remember ever finishing an episode of Daredevil and thinking "that's it???" whereas I have felt that way with most of the other Marvel shows. I think this is because they would usually focus on the main hero(s) for the majority of the episode and then occasionally cut to whatever the villain was up to. It felt like each episode was structured similarly to a movie, not a TV show. They weren't balancing multiple plots like most dramas do.
Born Again has 4 episodes less than each season of the Netflix show had, but I don't think that's necessarily an issue. I just hope that each episode is an hour long and they pack each one with several plots so that we feel like we've gotten a lot of stuff each week. I want them to cut between whatever Matt is doing, whatever Fisk is doing, whatever Muse is doing, whatever Karen is doing, and whatever Punisher is doing. Obviously they shouldn't try and pack too much into a single episode, but I don't want there to just be one or two plots that we cut back and forth between, with each episode landing somewhere between 30 and 55 minutes.
Everything else about this show seems like it's going to be top notch, but the structure of the episodes is the only major concern I have right now. I never want to finish an episode of Born Again and think to myself "that's it???"
Has it ever been addressed how someone can punch away Thor or throw him around while he’s wielding Mjolnir? Wouldn’t the hammer act like an anchor keeping him more or less stationary?
Edit: I'm not saying you need to watch these, this is just what I'm watching. Go ahead and watch whatever you'd like beforehand, if anything at all!
