Marvel Universe Thread

[Wishbone]

I'm legit interested to see what the ramifications of this will be for the MCU. I mean if they're gonna hit that number I could see them adding characters that haven't even been seen in the movies yet. They've already sorta eluded to the fact that there may have been heroes before Iron Man in the MCU, and that other heroes may have been popping up while the Avengers were running around so we could possibly see that there's some serious history in the MCU.

Also like Kalyx said this is a massive deal. We've never seen something like this in cinema history. The Avengers was a huge deal that was completely unprecedented at the time, but this has the potential to blow it out of the water.

[McLegend]

Kelsey Grammer as Beast was a good call... I'm just saying.

[ClockShot]

Benedict Wong joins Doctor Strange as........................Wong.

I guess Marco Polo season 2 must be just about done.

[Rammsteinmad]

Nothing wong with that casting.

[Funky Fly is back]

Anyone else dreading Civil War II?

[ClockShot]

Can I dread both part 2 and the upcoming movie?

[Fignuts]

I didn't even lime the first one.

[Funky Fly is back]

Can I dread both part 2 and the upcoming movie?

Movie looks good, comic looks like dreck.

[Shadow]

Meh. I don't read comics but at least it's not as dumb a set up as Civil War I was.

[Sixx]

captain america is a werewolf again. but this time it's sam wilson.

this is like the 4th time in history they made cap into a werewolf for some goddamn reason.

[Fignuts]

Jesus.

[Shadow]

So Cap's a flying werewolf. Interesting.

[Sixx]

well, there's also a new falcon. a genetically modified illegal immigrant, javier something.

[Rammsteinmad]

What's Steve Rogers up to these days?

[Sixx]

prune juice

[Lock Jaw]

I heard he was young and Captain America again....

Or maybe that he is about to be, if it hasn't happened yet....

[Sixx]

they only announced it, not yet

he's currently leading avengers unity squad, which is humans, mutants and inhumans

deadpool, rogue, some girl called synapse, there was also spiderman but he quit, now cable is with them and i forgot who else is in this

[Sixx]

oh, right. quicksilver, too

[Kalyx triaD]

Marvel comics is a fucking mess.

[Sixx]

Marvel comics is a fucking mess.

i might just give DC a try

but isn't it a mess now, too?

i know gordon was robot batman for some time, bruce wayne and joker are brainwashed and don't remember who they are or something?

just some bits I read about that

[Lock Jaw]

DC a mess ever since the reboot.... though Batman stuff seemed like it was still "safe" (by which I mean the reboot barely effected it at all).... though I haven't read any Batman stuff in a long time either because I just don't feel the whole universe anymore... And not having that "larger shared universe" to get into just takes me out of it....

[Reavant]

Not all of Marvel is a mess. The new Xmen books are fantastic.

[Rammsteinmad]

I'm so out-of-the-loop with Marvel right now. This is probably years old already, but is Spider-Man still living in that "Brand New Day" reality or whatever? Like... did things ever get retconned and he's married with MJ again, Aunt May died from her gunshot wound/survived and the world knows who he is?

Wikipedia use to be pretty good to at least get some basic stuff like that, but sometimes it's pretty vague or messy and I have no idea what I'm reading.

[Lock Jaw]

Far as I know, Spider-Man never went back to that old continuity. Not married to MJ. Aunt May still around, never shot. More people may know who he is now, but not the world at large.

Think I read that in the comics, Peter Parker is now a wealthy billionaire mogul with a large tech company or something.....

[Rammsteinmad]

Damn.

I kinda hated Brand New Day to begin with. I came to accept the new continuity but always figured "whatever, they'll change it back in a year or two anyway".

Shit. Seems pretty legit then.

[Lock Jaw]

Maybe because I didn't read too much of the "married Peter Parker" days, but I quite liked the "Brand New Day" stuff.... Of course, I haven't read it in ages.... I think the last story I read was something about Kraven the Hunter and his family.... some big storyline....

Never even got to the whole Dr. Octopus is Spider-Man saga....

[Rammsteinmad]

I kinda followed until Spider Island or whatever that was called. Still got a bit of catching up to do, but most of the stuff between Secret Invasion and Spider Island has some gaps in it, so I'm pretty confused about a lot of stuff.

[Fignuts]

Never even got to the whole Dr. Octopus is Spider-Man saga....

Yeah, I was one of the few people who liked Brand New Day. I missed out on Spider-man's heyday. By the time I started reading it he already had a super model wife and a great job. Not exactly as relatable as earlier issues.

[Lock Jaw]

Same.... I liked that he was "down to Earth" again.... poor/single/struggling to find balance in his life.... etc....

Also enjoyed the return of thought bubbles and a focus on a supporting cast.... felt "different" from other modern comics....

[Blonde Moment]

Far as I know, Spider-Man never went back to that old continuity. Not married to MJ. Aunt May still around, never shot. More people may know who he is now, but not the world at large.

The company that Otto started as Parker went international. The way it sounds He might have more cash on hand than Stark at the moment. Could be interesting to see how money changes him.
Meanwhile Stark has....

[Lock Jaw]

Is that Mary Jane? Is she an Iron Woman now?

[Blonde Moment]

She is a supporting character now. Got tired of her businesses being trashed in NY city all the time and moved out to where Tony is and ended up with her new Nightclub trashed,,,,

[Sixx]

yeah, iron man is one of the few titles that aren't painful to read.

also, 2 x-men books, one with old man logan, young jean grey, etc. and another with "bad" x-men lead by magneto

deadpool is weird (weirder than usual) but it gets a pass.

contest of champions is probably the dumbest now, no idea what it's about.

[Fignuts]

Hate that Falcon is captain america. Just doesn't feel like cap. Feels more like they just slapped an american flag skin on falcon.

Then again I've always thought Falcon was lame.

[Sixx]

that is exactly what they did. he just keeps on being falcon. unless he's werewolf atm.

bucky was a much better replacement cap

[Blonde Moment]

that is exactly what they did. he just keeps on being falcon. unless he's werewolf atm.

bucky was a much better replacement cap

I agree, but even he proved that it was never the costume but the man who wore it, Falcon will always just be Falcon in a Cap uniform.

[Sixx]

I agree, but even he proved that it was never the costume but the man who wore it, Falcon will always just be Falcon in a Cap uniform.

yes, that's true. i should probably mention that i think he was a much better replacement cap in my opinion, because he's an all around cooler character in my book.

[Fignuts]

It was built up so well, too.

"Game of Thrones" star Finn Jones will play the titular martial arts master in "Iron Fist," according to a new report from Entertainment Weekly.

[drave]

someone say titties?

[Emperor Smeat]

Like a lot of comic movie-based actor announcements, already outrage online due to the actor being white and people assuming or wanting someone else instead.

Part of it is due more to the recent "whitewashing" Oscars outrage and Marvel not doing themselves any favors by interviewing a bunch of Asian-American actors making it seem like the character was going to played by an Asian actor.

Also doesn't help that there is a really old stereotype when it comes to white people playing martial arts characters.

[Fignuts]

Iron Fist is a blond white dude. So they cast a blond white dude.

The fuck is the outrage about?

Fucking overtly PC bitches. If they made a Bill Clinton biopic, tjey'd probably complain if he wasn't played by a spanish-african transexual.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah.... if he were an Asian dude in the comics and they cast a white dude that would be one thing, but now people are getting angry because a white dude was cast to play a white dude?

[Emperor Smeat]

Think the history of the character's backstory is also playing a role in the outrage. Its part of a really old stereotype of how a white guy gets his martial arts abilities when writers don't want the character to actually be Asian.

[McLegend]

The outrage is dumb.

[Fignuts]

Tony Jaa should have been batman

[Fignuts]

White Men Can't Split Kick.

[Lock Jaw]

Should have just cast Idris Elba, then everybody would have been happy

That's Iron Fist's whole thing. He's looked down on by all the martial artists because he's rich and white, yet he becomes so great he earns their respect and whatever.

X-Men spin-off film Gambit got delayed indefinitely and currently dropped out of Marvel's lineup of comic films.

As reported by CBR, Gambit was originally scheduled to be released on October 6 this year. However, the loss of original director Rupert Wyatt last September meant a delay in the start of production. In January, it was reported that the film would start shooting in March, with Edge of Tomorrow's Doug Liman now directing. Fox' sci-fi feature Alien: Covenant will move into Gambit's original slot.

Disney's CEO recently stated they have no plans on making any R-rated Marvel films as a response to questions about Deadpool's success as an R-rated film leading them to do the same.

Fox's R-rated super hero movie Deadpool was a huge hit and Batman v Superman may get an R-rated home video cut, so you might be wondering if Disney would follow suit with its own adult-oriented Marvel movies. That's not going to happen, at least not anytime soon, according to Disney CEO Bob Iger.

"We don't have any plans to make R-rated Marvel movies," Iger said during a call with shareholders today, as reported by Polygon.

Marvel announced next year's Spiderman film will have cameos by other Marvel Cinematic Universe characters.

Iconic Marvel superhero Spider-Man joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe in this May's Captain America: Civil War, appearing alongside other famous heroes like Iron-Man and Captain America. Now, it's been confirmed that 2017's standalone Spider-Man movie will see the wall-crawling web-slinger joined by other MCU characters, though at this stage, it's not clear who.

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige shared the news with Entertainment Weekly today. "[Spider-man] is in the universe now, and the fun of the universe is that characters go back and forth," Feige said.

Tom Holland will play a 15-year-old Peter Parker in the new Spider-Man movie, a reboot that will be directed by Cop Car's Jon Watts.

[Sixx]

So it's official.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/netflix-orders-punisher-spinoff-series-starring-jon-bernthal

Frank Castle is back. Entertainment Weekly has learned that Marvel and Netflix have ordered a "Punisher" series, spinning off of "Daredevil" season two. The series will star Jon Bernthal, reprising his role as the Punisher, and "Hannibal's" Steve Lightfoot will serve as showrunner.

[Sixx]

Already a teaser

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1HuEocXc1tI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[drave]

Sweet. Really enjoyed this version of Punisher and if is even HALF as good as the Daredevil series, it will not disappoint.

[Sixx]

Yeah, at first I really hated that casting, but now I think Jon Bernthal was the best Punisher so far.

[Sixx]

Also, he refrained himself from scratching/touching his head all the time like he did on Walking Dead, so kudos to him.

[Destor]

Also, he refrained himself from scratching/touching his head all the time like he did on Walking Dead, so kudos to him.Every acting coach will tell you the same thing. Give a manurism or quirk to the character you're playing. We as humans all have them. Shane's was the head rub, not the actors however. Im sure if we rewatched his Frank Castle we'd find he too has a quirk.


As far as this being a series...it will be good but I wish they werent making it. It'd rather have him as a loose cannon popping up almost randomly in the defenders runs.

[Sixx]

Don't go all serious on me, brah.

JON BERNTHAL CAN'T STOP RUBBING HIS HEAD

[drave]

BECAUSE HE SHAVED HIS FRO AND HIS SCALP IS ITCHY!!!!!


Shoulda tried some Selsun Blue or Pert Plus.

[Sixx]

So, Steve Rogers is back to being an Aryan ubermensch.

[Fignuts]

So not only is wolverine 3 rated r but the producer has confirmed it takes place in the future and has a very "western" feel to it.

So, looks like we are getting Old Man Logan. Going to have to change things quite a bit given who's in the original story.

[Kalyx triaD]

Like I says before, adapting the tone and theme is more important than adapting characters.

Dragonball Evolution had the characters.

[Sixx]

I wonder who they'll use.

Gonna need to change the story, it won't work without the Banner clan.

Best they could replace him with is probably Blob and I just don't see it somehow.

[Simple Fan]

Being set in the future I wouldn't expect Magneto or Professor X in it. Would love to see Deadpool replace Hawkeye since he should still be alive and he has experience with the X-Men universes version of a super soldier formula. Omega Red and Juggernaut could be some villains that control the US. I think they can do it justice.

[Kalyx triaD]

Actually Patrick Stewart is confirmed in there for his final go as Prof X.

[Kalyx triaD]

And X23 is extremely likely.

[Sixx]

Actually Patrick Stewart is confirmed in there for his final go as Prof X.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

Wonder if he'll just be really old or only show up in Logan's mind or something.

[Fignuts]

They could use dr doom in place of red skull.

[Sixx]

They could, yeah, but Red Skull isn't even a very important part of Old Man Logan.

Really can't think of anyone other than Blob to have an incestious family of cannibals, but he's B-list at max.

Unless they just totally change the plot, which will probably be the case.

[Simple Fan]

I think they could very easily put Beast in place of Hulk and not have to change a whole lot.

[Reavant]

They could, yeah, but Red Skull isn't even a very important part of Old Man Logan.

.

Um what? Did you read the comic?

The climax of the second act of the story was him taking out the red skull.

[slik]

This sounds like a great idea that lots of time and money should be spent on:

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/05/13/producer-simon-kinberg-wants-to-try-the-fantastic-four-again/

[Fignuts]

Fuck's sake just give it to marvel already.

[Shadow]

Oh my god just stop. Jesus. You made the Thing's catchphrase something someone would say while abusing him. Just end it already.

[Simple Fan]

I think a second one is warranted. The first really wasn't a bad movie just didn't feel like a Fantastic Four movie until the end to me. If they can tie it in with Deadpool and the X-Men it might be alright.

[Wishbone]

Oh my fucking god... By the time Marvel actually does get Fantastic Four back the franchise will be run so far into the ground that not even they can save it. FFS, Fox, just give it up already. Shit...

[ClockShot]

While we're on the Fantastic 4 topic,

Michael B. Jordan just joined Black Panther.

So unless the Human Torch got a part in the movie, I'd consider Fantastic 4 2.0 dead for the moment.

[Sixx]

Um what? Did you read the comic?

The climax of the second act of the story was him taking out the red skull.

Errr, Red Skull was easily forgettable in that comic. It was all about the Banner clan.

[Blonde Moment]

Should do Old Man Logan Lone Wolf and Cub style with the cub being "X-23". Show the relationship between the two as she grows as he struggles to protect her as his abilities start to be ravaged by age resulting in the roles being reversed by the end of the movie, his death and her assuming the mantle

[Kalyx triaD]

That might be too artsy for a big budget film, though The Wolverine was similarly against the usual grain (until Fox put a fucking robot in there).

I'd watch that tho.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Loved the Wolverine.

[Fignuts]

Rumor making the rounds that marvel is considering adding three more series to netflix.

Moonknight
Ghost Rider
Blade

Moon Knight is a great character. Probably most excited for that.

Ghost Rider seems like it would be hard to do on a netflix budget. I've had the same reservations about tne upcoming Iron Fist, though that all depends on how much they go into kun luun and the mystical side of the character.

Blade, I dunno. I love the originals. Yes even the third one (my Parker Posey fetish helps with that)

[Sixx]

There already was a TV show about Blade with some shitty rapper. And it sucked.

I'd love to see a Moon Knight series, hope they include his schizophremia.

[Blonde Moment]

Moonknight and Blade would be good ones.
Would love to see Blade 70's style

[Kalyx triaD]

There was already a Blade show, guys. It sucked. So let's never do another one again. Nope.

[Ruien]

Blade as in the black guy who kills vampires? Never knew that was Marvel. Ghost Rider is lame. No idea who Moonknight is but he has a cool name.

[Lock Jaw]

People here seem to go crazy about Moon Knight.... Guess I never read his earlier stuff, but read a few of his newer series (probably post Civil War I think, or starting just before)..... And I didn't care for it or the character at all....

[Kalyx triaD]

One could say the first Blade movie saved comic movies from being predetermined jokes after the Joel Shoemaker effectively killed the sub-genre. Blade paved for X-Men and Spider-Man, and here we are. We owe a great debt to Blade.

[Destor]

Blade 2 was the best kung fu movie released by a major studio in 25 years.

Just saying.

[Wishbone]

Blade could make for a really cool series. In fact I like the idea of it being made a part of the tv side of Marvel rather than the cinematic side. I just feel like it lends itself better to that sort of format.

Don't know much about Moonknight so I'm not really gonna say much. I'll probably give it a watch just to see if it's any good, but my expectations are pretty much non-existent at this point.

Ghost Rider is one of the coolest concepts in Marvel IMHO. I've always felt that the movies didn't do it justice at all. Would love to see them pull it off well this time around, and I think being tied in with the likes of the other darker toned tv series could do it some good. The budget stuff is a tad bit worrisome, but then again DC's shows have managed to remain entertaining despite sup par special effects. If they do it right I think they can overcome that obstacle.

[Fignuts]

I really just want a good Ghost Rider movie. He's probably the most badass character, visually and conceptually, in marvel comics.

[Kalyx triaD]

Am I the only guy who like Spirit of Vengeance?

[Rammsteinmad]

I thought it was alright. Wasn't amazing by any means, but Ghost Rider visually looked perfect.

[Sixx]

Really been enjoying lots of Moon Knight lately. I'm not big on books that are like an acid trip but this thing, where you have no idea whether it's just in his mind or not is really well done.

[Sixx]

As you probably know, Steve Rogers got his youth back. And the first issue of his new comic book comes with a retarded twist.

He is secretly an agent of Hydra and there's a flashback showing that has always been the case. The writer already said it ain't no clone, he ain't brainwashed, etc. This is so fucking stupid and makes zero sense.

I am really hoping this is the Red SKull fucking with his mind using Xavier's powers

[Sixx]

I am really hoping this is the Red SKull fucking with his mind using Xavier's powers

Like I said, the writer made it clear, there's no brainwashing or anything involved and it's the real deal. Though I am sure they will find an even dumber way to explain this. There is no way they'll stick to this story. They just wanted to "shock" the readers or whatever. Still stupid.

[Rammsteinmad]

Yeah, of course the writer would say that now. Wait it out, it won't be that way forever. I call "brainwashing" or something.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, there is definitely gonna be some twist to it.

[Rammsteinmad]

Definitely a nice publicity stunt by Marvel, and is definitely a nice change than the usual "major character dies" storyline only for them to eventually come back.

How did Cap come back from death when he was killed after Civil War? Perhaps something was done to him them.

[Sixx]

Turned out he wasn't really dead but in "suspended animation" reliving his past or some stupid bullshit like that. To be fair, I don't think even the writers knew what it was all about. They just needed a way to bring him back.

So suspended animation is apparently a thing that happens when you get shot. Keep that in mind, yo.

[Rammsteinmad]

Aha yeah that's right. I did read it at the time but christ that was ten years ago! Okay, so yeah something happened to him while he was suspended animation. Boom!

[Fignuts]

Yeah but they're saying he's been a hydra agent all along, not just since his return.

Anyway, they can pull a jessica drew and reveal he's been a triple agent all along, reporting to nick fury while pretending to work for hydra.

[Simple Fan]

Haven't read it, just what's been talked about in the thread but could it just be a paranoid Steve Rodgers dream?

[Kalyx triaD]

If he was an agent the whole time he's the worst ever; missing countless opportunities to kill countless heroes for HYDRAs advantage. Claiming powerful artifacts, sabotaging plans, or just dragging his feet to allow HYDRA victories.

If THAT is how a secret HYDRA agent operated for nearly 100yrs than Red Skull should kill him. Again

That's why the twist is stupid. Not for his morals or whatever bullshit people are being bitches about online; that this would make him the worst HYDRA agent ever.

[Lock Jaw]

Could just be a "sleeper agent"..... in that they brainwashed him in the 40s sometime, and then never "activated" him, despite him kicking their ass all the time, until now.

[Shadow]

Or it could be some Cosmic Cube bullshit.

It's just is shirt/sweater making him look like he's got a beer belly I think.

[Reavant]

No. look at his arms.... he used to be shredded. It looks soft and round.

[Fignuts]

Well if they follow the comic's story, he's playing a broken down logan who hasn't been in a fight in decades, so it makes sensehe's not in amazing shape anymore.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't see his arms and neither do you, stop.

[Reavant]

yes you can. he doesnt have the same definition and bulkiness around the shoulders and the arms

[Destor]

I don't see his arms and neither do you, stop.
:wtf:


His mass is clearly viasable

[Kalyx triaD]

We're just gonna pretend we didn't just see a shirtless Wolverine in Apocalypse and a while back in the teaser shot for Wolverine 3.

Is he Origins ripped, no, but I'll still bet he has more definition than-

You know what? I just caught myself getting to explain yet again the folly of dissecting set pics. Not this time. Lol

[Lock Jaw]

Kenneth Choi cast as Peter Parker's high school principal for upcoming Spider-Man movie.

Already appeared in the MCU as Howling Commando member Jim Morita.

[Shadow]

Well it would've been pretty hard for him to repraise his role right now.

Ironbite-what with I think most of the Commandos being dead.

[Lock Jaw]

Could have appeared on Agent Carter :'(

[Sixx]

Agent Carter takes place in 1946. He was probably in an internment camp. :)

He did do a guest spot with Agent Carter. Dumbasses.

[Lock Jaw]

I meant he could have appeared on the show Agent Carter.

[Sixx]

He did do a guest spot with Agent Carter. Dumbasses.

That was before internment camps. Bitch.

[Kalyx triaD]

Or that's his descendant. Marvel Studios isn't dumb.

[Lock Jaw]

Or they are opening the floodgates to recast people they have already cast as new characters so that they can cast Idris Elba as every new role from here on out.

[Kalyx triaD]

That also works.

OOOOOOORRRRRRrrrrrrrrr.......,,,,,,,,,,

[Rammsteinmad]

So I'm re-watching the first season of Agents of SHIELD after picking up the DVD about a month ago for a fiver. It's kinda weird seeing, not only how much things have changed over the three seasons (character development etc), but just overall, in the first few episodes there's pretty much some kinda MCU reference in every scene.

Obviously this was their first TV show and they wanted to firmly establish that this is set in the same cinematic universe, but it's just kinda weird seeing there be so many references, when now there doesn't seem to be quite as much of a connection.

[Kalyx triaD]

The new Iron Man hero is a 15yo black girl and Marvel Comics officially parodies itself.

Why the need for a new Iron Man? What happened to Tony?

Why the need for a new Iron Man? What happened to Tony?

He's apparently quitting the superhero biz after Civil War 2 wraps up. That's all we know so far from what I've gathered. Apparently the girl is the same one that they mentioned at the start of all new all different Marvel who cracked Tony's design or whatever.

[Lock Jaw]

Also on Captain America: Agent of Hydra.....

Or it could be some Cosmic Cube bullshit.

Apparently that is exactly what it is.... some sort of living cosmic cube altered his memories.... so it is "legit" in the sense that Cap believes his memories are what is real.

Civil War II ain't that bad so far, but honestly the conflict is way dumber than in the original. That one made sense, this one is just silly. Why wouldn't you use this guy's powers? They handed a Celestial his ass, otherwise they'd probably all get slaughtered.

1) They are still not sure how this guys powers work
2) Are you guilty of something you haven't done yet?

Should you be jailed for something you "might" do or did do in another timeline?

Spoilers for the recent issue of Civil War II:
Hawkeye ends up killing Bruce Banner before he can turn into the Hulk.

Did it as a promise Banner gave to Hawkeye to kill him if he ever transformed due to rage and as a way to stop a recent argument from esculating into a potential bloodbath.

Perhaps Michelle is 'more or less' MJ in the way Hope is basically Janet as far as the MCU goes.

[Blonde Moment]

For some reason I like the idea of her being the Black Cat.
Something about her look (and I don't mean race)

Fox and Marvel's Gambit film that has been in the works since 2015 suffered another serious delay. Another director dropped out while Fox still wants filming itself to start by early 2017.

Big news in the superhero movie world today, as director Doug Liman has exited the long-delayed Marvel project Gambit and has come aboard the DC Comics film Justice League Dark.

Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the split for Gambit was a "mutual parting of ways" between Liman and Fox. Fox still wants to start production on Gambit in January 2017, the report said.

Production was originally scheduled to start in fall 2015, but then shifted to early 2016. According to The Hollywood Reporter, script rewrites caused the delays, including the latest one to move the production start date to early 2017.

According to the producer and director of Captain America: Civil War, they had a second ending planned in case Robert Downey Jr. decided to not return as the actor for Iron Man. Would have lead to around a third of the film being changed as a contingency plan.

The Russo brothers talked to EW about how Downey Jr.'s original Marvel contract was fulfilled by the time work started on the third Captain America movie. Joe said, "[T]here was a period of time when we explored possibilities for Cap stories that did not include [Civil War]." Despite this, the idea for Civil War came about early and "it took over [the directors'] brains."

Speaking of taking over brains, Anthony revealed that they were thinking of revolving the third act around the Madbomb, which is a device that makes people crazy, causing them to be much more aggressive.

"It didn’t have anything to do with Civil War, and if we couldn't get Downey--in the very, very early conversations before we nailed him--somebody pitched the idea of a third-act that revolved around the Madbomb, which makes people crazy," Anthony said. "It almost like zombifies them--but not literally.

“The charm of the Madbomb is that you turn hordes of people into berserkers. That was the physical challenge that Cap and company would have had to face."

Joe added that there was a moral element to the Madbomb, in addition to the physical.

"The notion of the Madbomb would have been Cap having to fight civilians and how he would he handle that," Joe said. "We were always trying to put him into these interesting moral conundrums because of his nature. That would have made a compelling third act because if civilians are the antagonists, how could he stop them without killing them?"

An emotional component was also present, as Captain America would have had to fight his superhero friends, who would have been taken over by the Madbomb as well.

"Somebody you know has turned into a zombie and now you have to fight them," Anthony said.

But then Downey Jr. and Marvel Studios reached a deal, and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.

comics now made steve rogers more confusing than ever. one comic he's on carol's side, the other on tony's side and it's not like he switched, they just show him differently as they please apparently. not to mention that whole hydra bullshit.

[Rammsteinmad]

Are people still upset about that whole Hydra thing?

[Sixx]

upset? not really. do i think it's stupid? yes.

blah blah cosmic cube blah blah

but it sure is nice to see cap murder someone.

[Sixx]

you know, how those writers kept denying it's any kind of manipulation, not brain control, not anything then it turns out it's the cosmic cube. that's just lazy.

[Rammsteinmad]

Oh, I didn't realize it'd already been reversed haha. I just remember a huge backlash from people being angry that he was revealed as Hydra, and thinking that whatever it won't be permanent etc.

[Sixx]

yeah it was revealed to be the cosmic cube as soon as the next issue.

[Rammsteinmad]

Oh shit haha. Thought it'd be dragged out for a bit. Marvel probably buckled under the fan backlash.

[Shadow]

They didn't though. It was kinda planned from the get go.

[Sixx]

yeah, well, it's not like they write/draw issues monthly.

Welp they're Terry Crews away from having the perfect cast.

[Fignuts]

Surprised this hasn't been talked about on here, but Tim Miller is off Deadpool 2, due to creative differences with Ryan Renolds. Miller apparently wanted a huge budget flashy superhero movie, while Renolds wants to keep the low key tone of the first movie. Renolds is now in serious talks with David Lietch who produced John Wick, and is attributed with much of that films awesomeness.

I'm with renolds. The tone and budget of the first film was a perfect fit for the character, and it sounds like it's in good hands with Lietch.

[Fignuts]

Also, am the only one who thinks it's kind of awkward and weird to have Cable debut in a deadpool movie? Like, I know they are rivals/allies whatever, but that's a small part of who Cable is. He is a time traveller who came from the future to stop Apocolypse. That is the whole reason for the character's existance. Deadpool is just a side feud from when he was training x-force. I don't even think tjey've been enemies since the 90's.

It just seems weird to have an Apocalypse movie without Cable, and then put him in a deadpool movie immediately afterward. Due to how epic his backstory and mission is, he just seems bigger than a deadpool movie to me.

[Wishbone]

Kinda agree about Cable, but given that I completely ignore the X-Men movies as I find them pretty bland at best and terrible at worst I'd prefer Deadpool's movies remain as distantly associated with them as possible. Let the X-Men in his universe be a completely different set of X-Men that are closer to the comics like they were in the first movie.

Dude the movie studios dont give a fuck. Seriously. The dont even pay attention to this shit. Some dipshit probably pitched the Cable/Deadpool fued and they rolled with it.

[Fignuts]

Dude the movie studios dont give a fuck. Seriously. The dont even pay attention to this shit. Some dipshit probably pitched the Cable/Deadpool fued and they rolled with it.

They don't give a shit about smaller details, and tney shouldn't, as it's better to focus on telling a good story than getting everything accurate to the comics. But maintaining what makes a character in the comics is important, and for the most part, studios have been doing really well with that thelast few years. I wouldn't even mention it if they hadn't.

Thougj I suppose out of all of them Fox has been the worst. For example Mystique as an inspirational, speech giving hero is fucking awful. She may as well have been a different character.

Anyway, I'm just commenting that it's weird. Don't really expect anything one way or the other.

[Sixx]

I'm fine with cable debuting in a deadpool movie. they always had a great chemistry and were hilarious together.

[Fignuts]

Honestly, the biggest problem is that Deadpool has jack shit for a rogues gallery. He became so popular because of his interactions with big name established heroes. That's why we got fucking Ajax in the first one.

Who's going to be the villain for Deadpool 2? T-ray? Slayback?

oof

[Fignuts]

I'm fine with cable debuting in a deadpool movie. they always had a great chemistry and were hilarious together.

Yeah, I mean I have faith that tjey'll make it entertaining. I don't wanna come off here like I'm being pessimistic. I just grew up with 90's comics, and Cable has always been such a huge part of the x universe, it almost feels like a waste to introduce him ensuing in hijinks with deadpool in a low budget movie.

Would be like marvel finally getting the license to use Dr. Doom, and putting him in the netflix defenders series.

[Sixx]

hmm, haven't thought of it this way, but i guess you're right.

maybe they'll just have him go against lady death? no idea. his current biggest nemesis in the comics is slapstick...

Nope. One of the few comic book deaths to stick.

Until now.

[Rammsteinmad]

I do recall seeing his name pop up at some point, not sure if it was Ultimate Marvel or a one-off storyline... or maybe I'm thinking of Kaine (whatever happened with that anyway?).

Either way... I dunno, I liked Reilly back in the day... but it's feels like a repeated process... is he a good guy? A bad guy? A clone? From the future? The past? Is he here to help? Kinda like Ezekiel ten years ago.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, but the scale and tone of the story is still going to be more low key than the situations cable typically involves himself in.
