I just finished the Hawkeye series and I think it's definitely my favorite of these D+ Marvel Series. I came to the realization that the D+ series are a sort of a justification to have the streaming platform and quantity was more important than quality, but if you adjust your expectations, it's perfectly cromulent. I also enjoyed She-Hulk. 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. 2
Casey Posted February 19, 2024 Posted February 19, 2024 My favorite is still Ms. Marvel because I’m a huge Kamala fan. but Hawkeye is really, really good. Like, shockingly good (because it’s about fuckin’ Clint Barton) but also not surprising because of the cast, the characters they play and how they absolutely embody them and their chemistry. Kamala & Kate together onscreen has the possibility to rival or even be better than Kate & Yelena onscreen. I can’t wait. 4
odessasteps Posted February 19, 2024 Posted February 19, 2024 It prob helps it was modeled after the Fraction/Aja series and not a generic superhero comic. 1

She was easily the best part of The Marvels and Ms. Marvel was just so much fun to watch. My daughter is so obsessed with Kamala and she loved the Hawkeye show. When the stinger happened in Marvels, she lost her mind. Her enthusiasm was totally infectious and i myself am now eagerly anticipating the eventual Young Avengers project. Out of curiosity, who else is probable to be used in that? They have Eli Bradley? America Chavez? I initially thought the Maximoff twins, but not sure about that now. Cassie Lang?

That scene specifically referred to Cassie, so that’s almost a sure bet. Agatha’s show will probably do something with the Maximoff kids. America, yeah, I’d imagine so. I can’t see what else she’d show up in. There’s also Joaquin Torres, who Sam gave the Falcon suit to in his show. That team will probably be an amalgam of the Young Avengers and Champions teams. So someone like Ironheart might be possible, too.

J.H. Posted February 20, 2024 Posted February 20, 2024 Watching The Marvels right now and enjoying it quite a bit. Also, Iman Vellani is a goddam treasure and needs to be protected at all costs! James 6
Zimbra Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 The next Avengers movie is no longer called 'The Kang Dynasty' and it sounds like they're moving away from him as the main villain. 2
J.H. Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 Oh thank god... I honestly think Kang is and always has been a snoozefest in comics and makingchim the MCU big bad was a turd. Now bring on a decent Romany actor to be DOOM! James 2
JonnyLaw Posted February 22, 2024 Author Posted February 22, 2024 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. 1
odessasteps Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Depending on which continuity you look at, Doom is Kang or an ancestor of Kang.
Dolfan in NYC Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Much more important than whoever plays Doom is this:

I keep seeing this talk of replacing Kang with Doom and it throws me since it feels like the Secret Wars they were going with was the Hickman/Doom version. Doom was already going to be the big bad.

Technico Support Posted February 24, 2024 Posted February 24, 2024 Vincent Dinofrio is excellent as Kingpin, but every time I hear his growling delivery, I think he’s going to ask for sugar in water. 5

odessasteps Posted February 26, 2024 Posted February 26, 2024 My addition to someone posting that on Twitter was Sally Field as Janet Van Dyne. 3

Curt McGirt Posted February 27, 2024 Posted February 27, 2024 I'm gonna ignore that and just suggest it not go any further before I get mad Thor really doesn't look like Ahnold there, I think it might actually be the guy who played the TV Hulk Thor. Somehow I don't think Arnold and Lou would work a movie together after Pumping Iron; it'd be more likely that Arnold would try and work in a Gold's friend of his or one of his own body doubles. Because you know they ain't cutting him instead of Lou. Hell, that doesn't look like Robert Redford either. Imagine if it was him and Warren Beatty in a bidding war. Didn't get the Hawkeye joke until just now and that's a hoot.
Craig H Posted February 27, 2024 Posted February 27, 2024 Weird random thought I just had after talking with a friend about the Leftovers. Justin Theroux is so awesome in it. And then I thought…he should be in the MCU. Then I thought, should he play Doom? So I guess the question is, should Doom be played by someone ridiculously handsome or should he be played by a CHUD like Adam Driver. 1
