Most backstories of marvel characters we see especially in their sequels or even movies, in the backstop of the characters either 1 parent dies or both die. Why is this? Too predictable on what's going to happen to the parents in the next sene.

Hey guys so the recent news made me remember a particular rumor from a while back and it just got me thinking. But before I get into it, I just want to bring something up.

So Markus and Mcfeel have co-written: Captain America: The first Avenger Captain America: The winter soldier Captain America: Civil war Avengers: Infinity war Avengers: Endgame.

Now the russo bros directed all of the above besides the First Avenger. So it was also quite clear in the movies that they do have a soft spot for Evans/Steve. Both the russos and m&m made their mcu debuts through captain America.

So if Evans is indeed returning as Nomad, than surely there must be some particular reason for picking Nomad as opposed to, say Hydra Cap.

Now here's where that rumor I mentioned earlier gets brought up. So idk if you guys remember, but when endgame came out, some people theorized that maybe old man Steve already lived through the course of the next Avengers movies. That's why he's so old and that's how he got a brand new shield for Sam.

I feel like this theory has some weight to it now. So here me out. In the comics, Steve took on the alias of Nomad when he was disillusioned by the government. This is what he unofficially became in infinity war. But I think we might see a different version of Nomad.

After Steve returned the stones and lived with Peggy, surely he didn't just sit back and let bad things happen. He already created a branch timeline, he must do a little to maintian it. I think that this is where he officially became Nomad to hide his identity while he was with Peggy. This would allow him to help out without people knowing that he is Steve Rogers. And, I think this is the Steve that will appear in Doomsday and Secret wars. Maybe he had a choice to return back to his timeline but instead decided to use his last pym particle to join the fight against Doom. Or he could've been pulled into the fight unwillingly and maybe his time travel suit was destroyed.

After the events of secret wars, when they are about to undo Dooms mess on the multiverse, Steve tells the heroes that he needs to return to the moment he left to ensure that he doesn't affect the course of his timelines future. He says goodbye officially to all his present day allies, and takes back a shield with him. Because his time travel suit was destroyed, they warn him that making this journey back would take a lot of time and cause him to age rapidly, and he might only have little time left to live. But because he already got to live a full life, he doesn't mind.

This is how he appears old and on the bench instead of reappearing through the time machine.

I think this is how they'll tell Steves story instead of doing a Disney plus show where Steve returns the stones (as was reported for a while now). I think they really care about Evans I definitely think the russos and M&M will give more context to Steve's story, especially since we haven't seen him since endgame.

So yeah thats the theory

First one is Darkhawk. Second one is Dr Bong. Third one is Dreadknight.And last but not least the fourth one is MadCap.I think these 4 characters have amazing potential in the MCU!!

I just had a random thought occur to me… in Thor Ragnorok, Korg mentions his mother saying he tried to start a revolution and no one showed up except for his mom and her boyfriend who he hates. However, in Thor Love and Thunder, Korg says he has 2 biological. This was an astonishing discovery for me as both movies had the same director and yet this inconsistency remains. Just wanted to point this out.

I watched both movies recently for the first time and I have… mixed feelings, to say the least. Both movies feel like products of their era. I liked Ghost Rider, but I didn’t like Johnny Blaze. Maybe I’m just not a Nicolas Cage fan, this is the first live-action movie of his I’ve seen.

I’m trying to catch up on all the ‘legacy’ movies. So far, I’d say both Ghost Rider movies are about D-tier, around my Morbius rating. Although Spirit of Vengeance gets massive bonus points for the flaming excavator. That spoke to me. I’d like for both movies to be canonized with the other legacy movies like Blade and the Fantastic 4, but I’m also okay if they’re not.

I can't wait for her to start absorbing powers of any gullible witches.. or a feeble minded Eternal. I hope they play the ballad in the what if series.

I know that a lot of characters are being established across various Phase 4-6 films, but the thing that they'll be missing are a film or two with all of them together facing a threat with the chance to build up their own dynamic and set of relationships.

One of the benefits of Phases 1-3 is that whilst initially derided by some as taking too long and focusing too much on setup, the first two Avengers films spent a lot of time establishing the team and then put them in a single mission where the stakes weren't as high as in later films, there wasn't loads of personal conflict, they weren't separated and we got more time for their various relationships and characters.

Solo movies are one thing, but you couldn't have done The Avengers and Infinity War in the same movie. And I know that a lot of movies and time have passed, but even if we've been with individual characters for a long time, it would mean a lot more if they had at least one major film outing where they could be all brought together.

The questions worth asking are: Who are the New Avengers team? What are their relationships to each other? How do they work together? And what's going on with them?

The problem is that so far, the answer to even the first question is unclear. We can name characters that might end up in the main team, but it's completely unclear who the leads of Avengers Doomsday and Secret Wars are gonna be right now and even if we knew tomorrow, it's most likely apparent that we won't be in the circumstance to know the answers to the other questions.

The only exception to this with Infinity War/Endgame were the Guardians and Dr Strange's interactions with the rest of the character. But that had more hype since it wasn't just individual characters coming together, it was other vital characters being added to the lineup. Doomsday and Secret Wars might replicate this feeling somewhat, but I can't imagine it capturing the same spark of the first two Avengers films whatsover.

Recently Amy Pascal has revealed what story the new film will tell: "Well, now we have to deal with the fact that he's decided to give up being Peter Parker... And he's going to focus on being Spider-Man because being Peter Parker is too hard. That's what the movie is about."

For those who don't know, in Ultimate Spider-Man #91 from May, 2006, Peter met and began dating Kitty Pryde, motivated in part because he felt his life as a superhero was endangering his true love, Mary Jane, whom he had recently broken up with for that reason.

That is, if we listen to Pascal's words and also remember the end of No Way Home, in which Peter ends up alone, not wanting to immediately resume the personal relationships he lost due to Dr. Strange's spell, this would give him the clue to prefer dating a female superhero instead of a civilian. Which would align perfectly with Marvel Studios' intentions of wanting to start fully introducing the X-Men, after Deadpool & Wolverine.

It would also be plausible if, instead of Kitty, we were introduced to Iceman and Firestar, the latter being someone with whom Peter has also had romantic approaches.

Not wanting to repeat plots that Sony has already used in movies made by that studio is one of Marvel Studios' main prerogatives when it's about Spider-Man, so this also motivates me to rule out Gwen Stacy as Peter's next girlfriend and instead put one of the two members of the X-Men.

Do you think any of these options are plausible or, on the contrary, do you consider them too far-fetched?

I've had this A5 pitch in my head for a few days and thought it would be fun to share it with you lot. Obviously not going to be perfect, and I'm interested in what you guys think :)

Something that I feel is important for the Avengers movies is to do a particularly original plot for one of them, and the heavily comic-inspired one for the other. Like IW/EG for example.

An idea I find interesting is placing several elements/parties on a playing field each with their own personal objectives. Objectives inevitably collide and conflict arises.

I also particularly like the idea of the Avengers being caught in the midst of a battle between two deity-like beings, having to rely on strategy more than strength.

Things I find important to include:

• Proper closure to the Kang storyline. (Part of A5 but not A6)
• Establishes Doom as a nuanced character.
• Connect to various threads throughout the Saga, and wrap it up with a bow.

>Enter Party 1

- The Conquerer

A Kang variant in his prime, following a predetermined path to wage war against other variants/universes.

• Not aware his path is predetermined, or that it has already happened before.

• Fewer Kang variants to battle, as they are mostly taken care of by the TVA.

• Makes his way to the top, normally destined to become the King of this hill.

>Enter Party 2

- The Wildcard

Though the multiversal war has happened before, the seed/pattern by which it occurs is unique each time. In this rendition, the FF Earth is erased (probably happening in First Steps anyway). Doctor Doom swears revenge upon the "Man at the Top" and embarks on a journey, taking out whatever variant he encounters until he reaches Kang Prime.

• Should possess some form of sympathy with the audience, and can be rooted for - unlike Kang.
• Wildcard player who ultimately kills Kang by the end of A5.
• Through twisted morals and arrogance, is established as the villain for A6.

>Enter Party 3

- The Townsfolk

The Avengers, either as a whole group or in chunks. (Probably picking up a few strays along the way.)

• Do not possess the firepower necessary to directly counter either major party.
• Relying on strategy over strength, doing their best to ensure safety.
• Potentially feature some kind of moral struggle, similar to the Illuminati in the comics.
• Essentially just need to buy time for Party 4.

>Enter Party 4

- The Sorcerers Three

Conveniently, the 3 beings capable of leveling the playing field for the Avengers are all out of immediate reach. I find it a compelling idea to spend the course of the movies in an attempt to assemble them, allowing the entire team to go guns-blazing in A6.

> Member 1 - Doctor Strange

• Missing from Earth for over 2 years.
• Was probably supposed to fill Tony's shoes after Endgame.
• Arguably done dirty by MOM, therefore needs a proper W.
• Definitely a core character for this Saga.

> Member 2 - The Scarlet Witch

• Somewhere between dead and MIA.
• Easily one of Marvel's most popular these days.
• Cornerstone of the current Saga.

> Member 3 - Loki, the God of Stories

• No explanation necessary, I think we all know he's important.

And finally >Enter Party 5

- The Horsemen

The TVA, Sylvie, and the like.

• The only individuals with knowledge of what is really going on, and of the Multiversal war loop.

• Akin to a King's beaten army, they feature the wisdom but no longer the strength or capability.

• First line of defence; probably going to get taken down.

>Additional notes

- Kang's death closes off his story, allowing Secret Wars to be solely Doom's movie.

- SW can then be a proper guns-blazing type film, as mentioned before.

A bit long I do realize, but I have a lot of thoughts on my mind about these movies lmao.

Let me know what y'all think :)

We got Thanos so early on and we knew he was coming before Infinity War, even with Kang they started building him up with Loki and Quantumania before Kang Dynasty, but there hasn't been a single mention or appearance of Doom and the movie comes out a little over a year from now. I know the character is supposed to be secretive and mysterious but I feel like there's no anticipation to this movie...

They had a sorta planned just “avengers” at first and they had no idea for the stones origin or how to use them until James Gunn wrote the whole thing in under an hour lol

Lucky events that conveniently happened well

A melhor parte de fazer a feira era a emoção de ver quais latinhas teriam no mercado daquela vez! 🙂

Since he's supposedly in talks to join the MCU... am I the only one who would like this?

She was really excited to make a tier list as we watched, so my fiancée and I made her something special!

While the MCU beat and killed the DCEU, the one thing DC still manages really well is self-contained hero stories. Obviously, we mainly have only gotten Batman/Superman movies, but the fact that DC has still committed to these self-contained stories even with the formation of the DCU by allowing The Batman series to continue, and the Joker sequel, has me wondering what could be done with certain Marvel characters.

By now, the MCU has been round long enough, and has such a solid fanbase that the heroes themselves don't really need any new introductions, so rather than trying to just keep a single MCU narrative going forever, I would love to see individual movies completely apart from the MCU continuity, maybe featuring their own unique casting etc.

I'd love to see an adaptation of the Future Imperfect comic which involved the Hulk finding himself sent to the future and gave us our first introduction to future Bruce Banner's evil alter-ego Maestro. Or the Marvels spin off or hell, even something like an Earth X adaptation, or if Disney decided to get a bit experimental and wanted to go a bit balls to the wall and adapt the Warren Ellis mini-series Ruins.

There's just so much potential and I just think Disney is limiting itself by committing solely to the single MCU narrative. While I do want the MCU to continue, I fear it'll take the MCU having consistent bomb after bomb before Disney / Marvel Studios consider trying something new, but what do you guys think? What miniseries or one shot would you love to see adapted?

Just based on how old Harrison Ford is, I don’t really think Disney is trying to invest in a reappearing villain for the future of the MCU. Maybe this was known for a while by other people, but it just came to me now and I felt kind of sad.

I believe I have a logical proof that when Captain remained in the past with Peggy, he has always been in the main "sacred" timeline.

He didn't get pruned.

Just the fact that Cap was able to hand over the shield as an old man gives the proof that he has remained in the main timeline. If any other timeline got created by cap traveling to the past, it would have gotten pruned along with the Captain.

We know that old TVA was still running things during the Infinity War/Endgame, and they wouldn't have allowed any timeline other than the sacred timeline to exist (for a prolonged time).
The past(s) that the Avengers traveled to, to get the stones, don't really count, as Avengers were "supposed to" travel there (thus, part of the sacred timeline), and the timelines were likely only temporary, pruned right after the stones got returned.

But the timeline/past that Cap stayed in didn't get pruned and neither did Cap himself.
It existed until Cap got old. Old TVA doesn't care about the Avengers and their variants, and He Who Remains/Kang cares even less. They wouldn't have extended any courtesy towards Steve, to let him live out his life in that timeline, as it would have destabilized everything.

We know that time loops are possible in the MCU, as precedents exist.
In Loki, Loki was able to do so via time slipping, although this is a slightly uncertain example, as it's a little weird way of time travel.
But the more important examples are from Agents of Shield.
In Season 5 of Agents of Shield there was a stable timeloop created via the Time Di'Alla (although it got later broken).
But even more importantly, they've shown us in Season 7, that it is possible to travel to the past of the same timeline via Quantum Realm, which created a time loop as they were always supposed to do that and have always done that.

Even if you don't count Agents of Shield as canon, just the fact Cap didn't pruned should be a proof enough.

Therefore, Captain America was always supposed to return to the past to Peggy, and it has always been the main timeline he remained in.

This explains who the mysterious husband of Peggy Carter is and always has been.
When dying Peggy met the young, freshly defrosted Cap, she didn't say anything either to maintain the timeline and/or because she had Alzheimer's, and didn't remember.
This also explains who was the "Captain America" that Red Guardian fought, while Steve was supposed to be frozen.
He has always been in the main timeline, likely helping out in the shadows, waiting for time to catch up, to hand over the shield to Sam.

1. Sam leading and giving orders. He's Captain America so he should obviously be the one calling the shots, not strange, carol, or peter.

2. Cool power moves and team ups. We've seen Thor hit Cap's shield to take down enemys, Thor blast lightning into Ironmans suit, and even bucky grabbing rocket in infinity war and spinning to take down more outriders. I want to see stuff like that all throughout.

3. Hints to which heroes will be known as the new avengers team. I expect after secret wars we'll get a complete roster.

4. Characters not getting along and not working well in battle. Picture this, in the first half of the movie the heroes are fighting whatever they'll be fighting, and they keep getting in each others way and going at each other's heads, constantly arguing, over the course of the movie they start to become better given there's so many of them (some unknown like moon knight)

5. O.B. from Loki helping the heroes, the MCU needs more O.B.

6. A reference to Kang, make it something like Kang was a distraction, meanwhile doom was the real deal the whole time.

7. Spider-Man keeping his mask on the entire time, obviously were going to need to see Tom Hollands face, but I'd like it if he only took of his mask maybe 3 times away from the heroes.

So one thing I’ve been noticing quite a bit with the promotions for Brave New World, all the focus in promotion for the villains side of the film have been on Red Hulk and Sidewinder, Red Hulk’s on all the posters, Sidewinder has been in a good chunk of the trailers, but the promotion is lacking one thing, The Leader

I find it odd that one of the first big announcements of the movie was The Leader would be the main villain, yet all we’ve seen from him are two shots of him in the shadows and audio of him threatening people, it kinda feels like he was meant to be a twist villain but either Marvel knew his involvement would get people hyped or they realised Tim Blake Nelson sounds too recognisable for the twist to work. Is anybody else weirded out by how little play he’s getting?
