  1. I wonder if they don’t just transition to replacing Kang with Doom with a few minor tweaks to their story. Seems like it might help set up the Fantastic Four a little more.
  2. I view the MCU like this: the Avengers are the special event comics, most solo movies are the characters solo series, and the D+ shows are kinda like the limited series that come out during the special event.
  3. I had the same thought. Presumably not, although if they’re in a void world leftover from the Fox movies, it could be a Fox doombot. ETA: The cover of the Secret Wars comic shown in the trailer has Doom on the cover, so who knows.
  4. To clarify, by “this” I’m referring specifically to Mando & Grogu, not just Star Wars in general. You can’t escape the Grogu (and to a lesser extent Mando) merch in kids stuff(clothes, toys, seasonal merchandise).
  5. This is legit one of Disney’s biggest, most well-known and merchandised properties, especially when considering the fact it’s only been a Disney+ show. It’s nothing like the Marvels (which was actually good).
  6. This also appears to be a a different movie from the Filoni movie that is supposed to be the finale of his current shows’ arc.
  7. I think I’m on the 4th episode of the current season, and it’s fine. So far I like the first season more, but I do like the kinda random team-ups in the first few eps.
  8. I saw something on Twitter that I assume was a joke that Marvel was in talks with Ryan Gosling for an “undisclosed role” that people were presuming was Kang.
  9. This reminds me of taking my daughter to the first Spider-Verse and her just being completely captivated, wanting to know who everyone was. One of my favorite movie-going experiences. I’m mildly amused by this response to the trailer because a) California and Texas being united is obviously one of the hooks for the trailer, and b) it isn’t actually set in “the real world,” but people are getting hung up on this as if it was. Adding to the conversation about pre-COVID movies, I’m pretty sure the last one I saw in theaters before the shutdown was Frozen 2 (twice). The first one I saw after was Multiverse of Madness.
  10. I’ll put this here instead of rebumping the Secret Invasion thread, but my daughter has been doing her yearly rewatched of the D+ Christmas movie Noelle, and I just now got that Jake in that movie was Kingsley Ben Adir.
  11. Same. I mean, I’m pretty sure the show will be bad/tenuously related to the rest of the MCU, but I’ll be amused.
  12. That reminds me, when Carol and Monica were discussing how Monica got powers, it felt like a perfect moment for an editors’ box saying “As seen in WandaVision ep. 7” or whichever ep it was.
  13. That’s probably a safe bet. It’s definitely a fun movie, but it’s nothing that you need to go out of your way to see unless you’re a big fan of the Ms. Marvel show.
  14. Wow, I’m pretty sure I disagree with almost every part of that review, but the part I think I disagree with most is needing to see Secret Invasion. There’s essentially no mention of anything from that show, and arguably the Skrull situation in the movie almost entirely contradicts the situation from Secret Invasion.
  15. I assume he plays a role of some sort in the next Avengers movies given his role setting those up here.
  16. This was a fun movie. I haven’t thought over the plot much, but it felt comic booky, mostly in a good way. They didn’t try to get too specific in explaining the whys/hows of the plot, which I thought helped. The run time was a good thing. Since this is the Marvels thread, I don’t think I need a spoiler box to say @Contentious Cwas spot on with the Captain Marvel sequel plot with Ms. Marvel tone. FWIW, my 9 yr old, who’s only seen Ms Marvel and the Captain Marvel movie as far as the MCU goes, said it’s the best movie she’s ever seen. It may also be the first time watching a comic movie that she didn’t ever ask “who is that” or “what are they doing,” so she was able to keep up with things. As for the spoilers, I think I was more excited for the last scene than the post-credit scene, but both were unexpected.
  17. Not to get too speculative, but that final trailer, it’s tag line, the fact the Marvels drops the same day as the Loki S2 finale, and those leaks/reports that Marvel is looking to bring back the original Avengers could be lining up for some surprise big reveal.
  18. The fact that Marvel has been as successful as it has been, while managing to pull a huge, interconnected universe while still giving directors/writers an apparently large degree of free reign is pretty impressive. They’ve got a cold streak after their first huge payoff, but they’ve also hit that Star Wars point where different people want and expect different things from it. Overall, I’m just amused by people complaining about everything being interconnected, when that’s just comics after a certain point.
  19. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time they’ve said you don’t need to watch other stuff to know what’s going on in a movie/show. Kinda like when they say it about comics, it’s usually bullshit.
  20. I feel like I’m the past, there’s sometimes been synergy between the shows and movies when things have dropped at the same time, but not so much this time.
  21. The other part of that Variety article is a kinda, but not really spoiler for the season finale of Loki in that
  22. Re: the MCU article, I’d be fine with High Evolutionary being revealed as a Kang variant and recast Iwuji as Kang. I think their overall problem is the perfect storm of the pandemic hitting and delaying everything at a time when they were hitting a reset with new franchises for Phase IV, forcing them to go without the bigger franchises/interconnected stores for a while.
  23. Same. I’ve already got our tickets. This will be the first MCU movie my daughter gets to see in theaters, and she’s super excited after watching Ms. Marvel and then Captain Marvel.
