Marvel Universe Thread

[Sixx]

i have no idea who the fuck this guy is, but just googled him and he looks the part.

[ClockShot]

He was on Hell on Wheels on AMC. Which is a really good show from what I heard. More or less his breakout role.

Also, Ken Leung (played Miles on Lost) joins The Inhumans as Karnak.

I just watched X-Men Apocalypse for the 3rd time and I think it's the best X-Men movie of all time for sure.

[Kalyx triaD]

It was very fun for me and very 'MCU styled', imo. I get that it didn't have the depth of the other Singer X-Men movies but honestly it was fine for them to just have fun in that one.

mystary man in black/ wtf, that's clearly blacl bolt in some weird outfit.

[Lock Jaw]

Sony has announced a "Venom" movie for 2018....

[Kalyx triaD]

Jesus.

[Destor]

I knew it was coming...and yet...ugh...

[Lock Jaw]

Don't worry, one of the writers of the acclaimed "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" will also be working on this script.......

[Sixx]

i actually liked the amazing spiderman 2...

[Lock Jaw]

Sony announces a "Black Cat & Silver Sable" movie to be in development......

[Destor]

My concern os the market might get flooded with shite films and ruin the draw of the good ones...

[Kalyx triaD]

What the fuck is Sony smoking? They couldn't rock a Spidey franchise but they think they're gonna nail Venom and Not-Catwoman?

[Kalyx triaD]

We’ve been lucky that [contract expirations] haven’t factored in too much. We’ve had people under contract for certain films, then we’ve had new ideas and new directions like Civil War like we wanted to do, and we’ve been lucky enough to make new contracts. … Certainly, as we get to Infinity War there is a sense of a climax if not a conclusion to, by the time we’re at untitled Avengers 4, the 22 movies that will have encompassed the first three phases of the MCU. And what happens after that will be very different. I don’t know if it’s Phase 4, it might be a new thing.

- James Gunn has already confirmed Guardians 3, so Phase 4 isn't some kind of continuity reboot. Other sequels of the newer generation heroes are also Phase 4, they're not gonna up and recast Dr Strange.

- However, I think we're gonna get a shift in central characters as far as sub-franchises go. Cap, Iron Man, and Thor will likely not be the core subs anymore. Like Stark, Thor and Cap may exist as supporting characters/cameos for other films.

- This is probably the best shot for characters like FemThor, Iron Heart, BuckyCap or Captain Falcon. Tho I don't think they'll carry their own film series.

- Special team ups and one shots should, imo, get more play. Black Widow needs to happen.

[Sixx]

i'd love a black widow movie.

make it a completely different genre, just a spy movie, it would be cool.

[Kalyx triaD]

Hell yeah. Toss in characters tied to the shadowy parts of the MCU; Hawkeye been around, Winter Soldier likely knows some heavy shit, perhaps have Melinda May from SHIELD show up. I'd love that.

And I would offer Mila Kunis anything she wants to be the villain. A Russian survivor of Widow's bloodier past, now a super spy anti-Widow.

[slik]

First look at the Inhumans....

looks awful/cheap



http://cdn.collider.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/inhumans-cast.jpg

[Fignuts]

Medusas outfit could use a bit more zazz, but otherwise it looks fine for a tv show.

[Destor]

Cystal looks good, Maximus too. Karnak works. Gorgon...meh. Not a fan of race swaps. Black Bolt and Medusa...boo.

[slik]

It looks like X-Men circa 2000...aren't they supposed to be royalty...they don't look like it. Medusa and Karnak in particular look really bad. Medusa needs to look really hot and have giant, cool hair and Karnak needs to be crazy fit, like a person who does cross-fit, not kind of old and not-intimidating. Black dude in back looks like he stepped out of the Matrix sequels and the short guy on the right looks like a fat Elijah Wood but I have a feeling he's supposed to be the 'tortured soul' villain. Girl with cheesy stripes in her hair looks like a TNA wrestler.

I figured since this is getting a IMAX release for the first two episodes ABC/Disney would amp up the budget but looks like they cheapened out.

[Destor]

IS GORGON EVEN A SATYR WHAT THE HELL. I was pretty meh about the race change but im KINDA PISSED about the lack of GOAT LEGS....


And where the fuck is Lockjaw...

[Destor]

*sigh* dont want to shit on something from a production still but this does not fill me with hope

[RP]

Looks like something on the Sci Fi network.

[Rammsteinmad]

They all look daft, but I'm okay with waiting for the finished product.

[ClockShot]

Uhhhhh, where's Bolt's mask with the little tuning fork on it?

[Lock Jaw]

I think only Medusa looks "bad" right now......

[Lock Jaw]

I will defend Gorgon by saying no one (except Destor) really cares too much about Gorgon...... having goat legs or not pretty minor..... as long as he is still "a tough guy" or whatever......

[Kalyx triaD]

Lockjaw is totally in. He'll be CG.

[Kalyx triaD]

Also, it's a TV budget and so far anything related to the MCU only gets as bad as the still watchable Iron Fist. They've earned my benefit of a doubt.

Valid

[Lock Jaw]

Haven't read Marvel Comics in years..... someone please explain to me what the hell the deal is with the young version of the X-Men.....

Why are they still around?

Don't they have to go back eventually?

Aren't they radically changing the timeline with every new detail they learn and every new experience they have?

[Fignuts]

Yeah it's really stupid. I thought it was a great idea for a single story arc, but it's gone on way too long. They had this big event where half the x-men wanted to send them back because fucking duh, common sense, and the other half fought to let them stay because "they should be able to choose their own destiny" or some or new age hippy crap, that none of these characters would ever say given their past experiences with time travel.

Like, it actually makes me mad. That's how dumb it is.

[Blonde Moment]

They just recently found out that the universe they came from no longer exists... they are stuck.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh, so they aren't even from the same universe?

And they are going to be around forever now? (Until they get killed off)

[Sixx]

Guess they're here to stay. Especially since the regular Cyclops kicked the bucket.

[Blonde Moment]

Oh, so they aren't even from the same universe?

And they are going to be around forever now? (Until they get killed off)

The beast found a way to travel back in time (magic) and found a young version of themselves doing their thing. My impression is that this is a result of the last Secret Wars event and the formation of the "new" Marvel Universe with the additional castaways from the past, future and alternate universes. ie: Old Man Logan, Miles and apparently the Logan's son from the Ultimate Universe

Huh? Who? What?

[Blonde Moment]

Jimmy Hudson is the adopted son of James and heather Hudson.
His Father was Wolverine and Mother was Magda making him the half brother of Ultimate Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch

[Sixx]

Ah, right. Been a while since I read Ultimate Marvel.

[Lock Jaw]

Is Daken still around?

[Sixx]

Nope. Sent to some kinda alternative universe or whatever by some 3rd grade villain.

[Lock Jaw]

For clarification, I believe that when I stopped reading Marvel was quite some time ago..... I believe the Dark Reign ended and the Heroic Age had begun.....

[Rammsteinmad]

Dunno if this is true or not, popped up on Facebook, but apparently Tom Hardy has been cast as Eddie Brock in Sony's Venom movie.

http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3438285/tom-hardy-becomes-venom-marvels-spider-man-spinoff/

[Kalyx triaD]

While I still think Sony is getting on themselves again I do not reject this casting at all.

[Sixx]

Wait, so the rights to Spiderman are back with Marvel, but Venom's are with Sony?

I'm kinda confused.

[Fignuts]

Sony lent spider-man to marvel. They never sold the rights.

[Sixx]

Oh.

Anyway, Inhumans don't look too good.

Original Post:

Iron Man:

I know this has it's own thread, but I plan on updating these two topics indefinitely as comic movies appear to be more of a stable in the film industry. Eventually I'll simply make a Comic Movie News Thread but I'm a freak about organization. Anyway, Iron Man as finished filming a little while ago which gives them close to a year of post-production. They closed filming in Vegas; though this isn't a hint to the film's story (= the ending may not be set in Vegas). Terrance Howard will play James Rhodes in case some of you didn't know. Rhodes is the civilian identity of War Machine, though you can bet he'll figure in the sequel with a cliff-hanger introduction at the end of this film.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b1/Ironmancast.jpg
Iron-Man cast: Terrance Howard-James Rhodes/War Machine, Gwyneth Paltrow-Virginia "Pepper" Potts, Robert Downey Jr.-Tony Stark/Iron Man, Shaun Toub-Yin Sen (he is NOT The Mandarin)

Spidey 4:

I suppose Spidey 3's financial success is attributed to Venom's inclusion and they'll add more recent villains as a result. If this is true, and I love the series so far, this will be the beginning of Spider-Man's spiral into the Batman and Robin effect, increasing an aspect of the last film not knowing it worked in a shot-in-the-dark sense. Sam Raimi also expressed ideas of using The Vulture or Electro (more classic villains). I doubt he'll actually have anything to do with Spidey 4. JK Simmons, Bryce Howard, and Dylan Baker (Conners/The Lizard) will return with new leads for Peter Parker and Mary Jane, I'm thinking.

More to come.

[Lock Jaw]

10 years.... DAMN

I wish Spider-Man 3 was a better movie, and that there were more sequels.

[Kalyx triaD]

They should have went with Spidey 4, if only to get past part 5 and do a perfectly timed Sinister Six movie. Then again that would have delayed Spidey being in the MCU so... destiny?

[Sixx]

http://insidepulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Secret-Empire-3-C-Punisher-e1496224691555.jpg

Stupid ideas constantly.

[Kalyx triaD]

LOL

[Sixx]

I am so sick of this whole reality changing, time travels, travels to other dimensions, heroes taking over other heroes' identities. Different timelines in different titles. Comics are just confusing these days. Why do I keep reading? No clue.

[Sixx]

Also, it took a year of waiting for the big reveal what Fury whispered to Thor that made him no longer worthy and it is so fucking lame. Fuck you, Marvel.

[Kalyx triaD]

But he was right, bro.

[Lock Jaw]

What did he whisper?

[Fignuts]

I am so sick of this whole reality changing, time travels, travels to other dimensions, heroes taking over other heroes' identities. Different timelines in different titles. Comics are just confusing these days. Why do I keep reading? No clue.

This has been one of my biggest problems with marvel in recent years. Too much of a reliance on time travel/alternate universe stories. They used to be big events. I remember being so pumped for Age of Apocalypse. Nowadays it feels like every other story I read is one of these types of stories. The last one that meant anything was House of M. They're not special anymore.

Other problem is their lack of balls in comitting to major status quo changes. Redeeming Scarlet Witch, killing off bucky cap, etc. Just a couple examples, but so many fresh, original stories could have been told with those characters, but nope. And as a result, nothing really has much of an impact anymore. "Oh my god, Captain America is an agent of Hydra? Thats crazy.....until they return it all to normal a year later."

[Sixx]

Yeah and it's like you take one X-Men book and Cyclops is dead, you take another from the same week and he's all fine, turns out he's from another dimension and also time-travelling (I do not even mean that young Cyclops that's been around for a while).

And now we also got 3 fucking Thors. Not to mention that stupid dinosaur like thing that dresses like Thor and also wields a hammer.

3 thors, two HAwkeyes, 3 wolverines - 4 if you count the little one, 2 Angels, 3 spiderman clones plus the original.
It's a pain in the ass and if I wasn't a fan of the Bronze age X-men i'd switch to Dc... of course hats been fucked up for the past 10+ years as well

[Fignuts]

Just really thankful that All New Ultimates has been good so far, though I'm sure they'll fuck that up.

[Fignuts]

I was so fucking pissed off at New 52. I grew up a Marvel kid. I had the odd DC comic here or there, as well as trades of Death of Superman and Kingdom Come, but I didn't really get into DC until I got back into comics in 2003, during the lead up to Infinite Crisis. I read so many old trades and wikipedia articles to learn the history of the DCU.

All for them to throw it all the fuck away for a new, plastic, focus group approved version. Felt like a slap in the face, and I haven't read a thing since, except for Green Lantern which kept its continuity and is SHOCKINGLY one of the consistantly great reads because of that.

[Sixx]

Never was a huge fun of DC. Like some Batman stories, but could never get into the whole universe. Also, getting through the classic Dark Knight Returns was a pain in the ass for me, because of the terrible artwork.

As for All New Ultimates, I haven't got to that yet. What are the titles?

(I'm currently at the beginning of April, had no time to read comics weekly last few weeks)

[Fignuts]

Oh no, its not Ultimate universe, just tne one title. The Ultimates (2015) Team consists of Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Spectrum, Blue Marvel, and America Chavez. They're a preemptive team that tackles cosmic level problems, with their first mission being to cure Galactus of his hunger. I read it through marvel unlimited, so I'm several months behind whats on the shelf, but its been great so far. Good art work too.

I am a big fan of marvels cosmic stuff, especially when they get the abstract entities involved.

[Sixx]

Oh, I stopped reading this after they turned Galactus gold and he became lifebringer or something like that. Not really into space stuff, other than Guardians.

I also see they got X-Men Prime, Gold, Blue and some others. Jesus.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, tried reading some of the more recent x-men stuff, and none of it did anything for me. Don't mind x-23 as wolverine, but fuck, they changed everything about her personality that made her interesting. She's like a normal girl now. Boring.

[Sixx]

True. Used to be a tormented, cold-blooded killer, now she has morals and shit, it's like a Kitty Pryde with claws or something.

If it weren't for boredom and sentiment I'd stop reading Marvel altogether. Quite some time ago, really.

[Rammsteinmad]

Has the whole Peter Parker/Brand New Day stuff been retconned yet? Obviously I'm still a little behind with modern Marvel, are we still in the reality where Peter and MJ never married etc?

[Sixx]

There're soe many versions, you can get confused. But the main book (amazing spiderman) has Peter Parker as a single billionare. But you know, I haven't read it in like 3 months, since they started another fucking clone saga.

[Blonde Moment]

Well now we have Ben Reilly back (Whose bat shit crazy), we have Kaine (whose out to kill Ben Reilly) we have Otto who now inhabits a cloned body from the Dha of both Otto and Peter, We have Miles Morales from the Ultimate Universe swinging around. We have two alternate Universe Gwen Stacy's that pop in and out of ours one who was bit by the Spider instead of Peter and one whose kooky as shit, from a Superboy Prime type universe and is more or less a pink powerless Deadpool. Then we have Silk who was apparently bitten at same time Parker was and so frightened of what was happening to her she locked herself in a bunker for x number of years.

The we have the Renew your Vows Spiderman family who may or may not be living in the old 616 universe.

WHole thing makes the old X-men potential future timeline look simple as fuck to understand.

[Sixx]

Yeah, I stopped following Renew Your Vows. It sucked.

And wasn't Silk locked in a bunker by someone rather than herself? I think that's what it was about.

[Sixx]

Yah, just checked, it was Ezekiel. Whatever, the easiest Spiderman to follow is Miles Morales, but he started travelling meeting Gwen Stacy's left and right so we'll see how this goes.

[Lock Jaw]

That Spider-Man post made my head hurt

[Blonde Moment]

That is the state of Spiderman at the moment.
Makes the now current x-titles simple in comparison.

[Blonde Moment]

Only good thing Marvel has done in the last year was resurrect Namor but then they went and gave us the abortion that is now Hank Pym/Ultron meld

[Lock Jaw]

Say what you will about DC, but at least they only have one of each character......... except for Wally West, I guess.......

[Blonde Moment]

I like the current superman family but I am sure they will screw that up soon.

I sense another recon coming up after the current Watchman storyline is done.

I enjoyed the Green Lantern Star Trek Crossovers

[Lock Jaw]

I saw they made a second Green Lantern/Star Trek..... I enjoyed the first one.... Should check out the second.....

[Rammsteinmad]

Well now we have Ben Reilly back (Whose bat shit crazy), we have Kaine (whose out to kill Ben Reilly) we have Otto who now inhabits a cloned body from the Dha of both Otto and Peter, We have Miles Morales from the Ultimate Universe swinging around.

[Rammsteinmad]

I read about Ben Reilly being back! Thought that was kinda cool as I like the character back in the day (am I the only one who didn't have any problems with the Clone Saga?!?!)... but redoing the Clone Saga etc does definitely seem a bit forced.

I'll judge it when I get to it, though.

Can't believe I haven't heard about this up until now.

[Fignuts]

Also, it took a year of waiting for the big reveal what Fury whispered to Thor that made him no longer worthy and it is so fucking lame. Fuck you, Marvel.

What's extra fucking dumb about it is way back in God of Thunder, Gorr literally calls him on it, and Thor basically acknowledges that Gorr's assumption is true. Thor didn't lose his his worthiness when Gorr said it, so why the fuck would he when Fury says it.

[Sixx]

Indeed. Gorr said it and Thor was like "meh".

Fury said "Gorr was right" and he goes all "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and spazzes the fuck out.

[Destor]

The "logic" is that when Fury said Thor believed it.

But thats dumb because Thor doesnt decide os he's worthy Mjholnir does...but maybe the doubt made him unworthy...i dunno.

[Fignuts]

Thor did believe it when Gorr said it. I think Sixx is understating Thor's reaction. It clearly bothered him, but he confronted the doubt internally and moved on.

[Fignuts]

I really hope this doesn't lead to gorr coming back. I loved God of Thunder 1-11, and it all ended so perfectly.

[Sixx]

I love Thor, but having 3 is retarded.

http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2017/03/THOR2015020_CVR-720x1092.jpg

Quesada teased the cover artwork for the opening issue,[4] hinting at the possible return of Bruce Banner as Hulk, Tony Stark as Iron Man, Thor Odinson reclaiming the hammer Mjolnir, and the appearance of other superheroes in their classic costumes.

[Shadow]

Looks to be just above AoS and the Netflix stuff but not quite as good as the movies. Looking forward to it.

Too bad Quicksilver's dead though.

[Kalyx triaD]

It does not look just above AoS or the Netflix shows (including Iron Fist), "imo". This trailer, to me, is the weakest reveal Marvel dropped since Marvel Studios became a thing. And that's in a context where they made a decent looking Cloak & Dagger trailer.

I have a few other thoughts about this show being a bit of a misstep from the jump, with a hard left turn from a feature to being a TV show (somebody important lost faith in it being a movie). Also it doesn't seem to have any connection to a decent running MCU TV show that spent the better part of two seasons introducing the concept of Inhumans to a mass audience. So when they announce an Inhumans show, that doesn't involve Skye/Daisy/Quake who went from annoying to great over the last four years, and expecting people to connect to a whole different sect of Inhumans, they are rolling a dice.

Perhaps you think they rolled the dice before with magic hammers, talking raccoons, and men who shrink - but this is a special case. They set up audiences with their original intent for expanding Inhumans; they want mutants. They want the narrative themes that come with mutants. But Fox has the mutants. So years ago Inhumans become this new race of 'people with powers' within Marvel comics rather than this small corner of the universe. It was speculated way back when this was Marvel Studios way of having mutants without stepping on Fox's shoes and it was correct.

Now fast forward and Inhumans become a big arc in AoS, but without any of the traditional Inhuman characters. Perhaps they felt we weren't ready for moon based monarchies at the time, but what we got was good TV. And it did well give us all those X-Men narrative beats (allegories for bigotry, comfort with who you really are, oppression, supremacy, etc). But now... they wanna pull the trigger and give us the real Inhumans. Seemingly unrelated to AoS and certainly not the X-Men allegory drama intact. In fact it seems they don't even believe in the characters' own setting, bringing the family drama down to earth by episode one.

I don't think that's going to work and they should have segued into them using AoS first, or at least making it clear how they connect/responded to all the craziness happening to earth. I'm making an argument from a casual perspective since I never read a bunch of Inhuman books. And for all I know they will link this show to AoS or the greater MCU (this starting as an MCU project). But so far I think they have bigger issues than a bad wig.

[Kalyx triaD]

Lockjaw looks great, tho.

[Lock Jaw]

Lockjaw needs to have a bigger, bushier, more majestic mustache.

Looks like a decent adaptation of The Inhumans...... who I never found terribly interesting in the comics I read, so we will see if the show will be more interesting.

[RP]

I thought Josh Brolin was suppose to be Thanos?

[Lock Jaw]

He is

[RP]

So he's Cable and Thanos?

[Fignuts]

Yeah. X-men universe is seperate from the MCU.

[Lock Jaw]

Plus Thanos is motion capture CGI character.

[Rammsteinmad]

If they ever did manage to get an MCU/Sony joint universe thing going on, it'd be amazing to have Deadpool mention how they both look alike, or could even make some kind of reference about having the same actor play two characters while everyone else looks on confused.

It’s the end of the world that Marvel Studios has been building for a decade.
Or, at least, it could be.


Cosmic death-dealer Thanos shattered Disney’s D23 Expo on Saturday as it concluded with the first footage from Avengers: Infinity War.


The villain, played by Josh Brolin, has been teased since the post-credits scene of the first Avengers movie in 2011, and next May that threat will be fulfilled.


“Almost every single hero we’ve ever introduced is going to be in that film. Why you ask?” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige teased the crowd. Feige introduced the actor inhabiting that cosmic character. “Thanos bows to no man,” the producer said.
Asked what it was like to play the towering, purple skin tyrant, Brolin said simply: “Powerful.”


“We’ve been shooting all year, we wrapped the half-way mark on the movie,” Feige said. “Late last night a bunch of people got on a plane in Atlanta so they could be here.”


He introduced Vision actor Paul Bettany, Scarlet Witch’s Elizabeth Olsen, Drax’s Dave Bautista, War Machine’s Don Cheadle, Mantis’ Pom Klementieff, Falcon’s Anthony Mackie, Nebula’s Karen Gillan, and The Winter Soldier’s Sebastian Stan.


“There’s someone who didn’t arrive on an airplane, he used one of those cool, sparky portals … ladies and gentleman, Doctor Strange,” Feige said, introducing Benedict Cumberbatch.


“The only thing that could make me geek out any more is if Spider-Man swung in here,” Feige said, as Tom Holland came onstage. He then introduced Chadwick Boseman, saying, “What we don’t have out here is a king – the king of Wakanda: Black Panther.”


“We also have a Hulk – ladies and gentleman, Mark Ruffalo,” Feige said. “And you brought a friend from work, didn’t you? The Mighty Thor – Chris Hemsworth!”
Finally, the actor Feige described as “the man who started it all, Robert Downey Jr.!”


“It’s hard to believe we figured all of this out shooting at Stan’s Donuts for Iron Man 2,” the actor joked.


Downey then cut to the chase, nudging Feige to show a clip. “Come on, come on, let’s see it!”


He introduced Infinity War director Joe Russo, who spoke on behalf of his brother and co-director, Anthony, “who stayed behind to mind the store.”


“Think of all the stories Marvel has told with these characters,” Russo said, showing flashback footage of the studio’s past decade.


The footage dovetailed nearly seamlessly into the new footage from Infinity War. The video hasn’t been released – and won’t be – but here’s a description of what went down:


The Guardians of the Galaxy emerge from lightspeed in a field of asteroids and red gas. Something large was once in this sector of space – a planet, maybe? Now it is gone.


“Okay Guardians, don’t forget this might be dangerous, so let’s put on our mean faces,” Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord tells his compadres.


Out of nowhere, a creature thuds against their windshield. It’s Hemsworth’s Thor. Unconscious. Beaten to hell.


The Guardians bring the stranger in, and Mantis revives him. “Who the hell are you guys?” Thor asks the motley crew.


From there, it’s rapid-fire imagery. We see Tom Hiddleston’s Loki offering the Tesseract up as a gift — presumably to Thanos, whom he has been aligned with since that first Avengers film.


There’s also a shot of Tom Holland’s Spidey-sense tingling as the hair on his arms rises while he reads on a school bus – then he’s in the gold-laced suit that Stark offered him at the end of Homecoming.


Iron Man, Captain America, and Doctor Strange strike defensive poses in another montage of introductions. Then Thanos emerges from a smoky portal as Brolin’s voice-over purrs a menacing suggestion: he’s here to bring “balance to the universe.”
“This puts a smile on my face,” he says.


Thanos already has two stones in the Infinity Gauntlet, which offer him phenomenal powers even without the others. (The two stones went by quick, but it appeared to be the blue Tesseract, or Space Stone, from the first Captain America, and the purple Power Stone, which was the orb from the original Guardians of the Galaxy.) We see him on the surface of a blighted world, drawing a moon or another planet into the atmosphere of the realm where he is battling the Avengers, ripping chunks of it free as they streak toward the battle like cannon fire.
It’s definitely the end of that world.

[Lock Jaw]

If Captain Marvel is set in the 90s, I hope that they add a lot of pouches and spikes to her costume.

[Fignuts]

And a cybernetic arm.

[Kalyx triaD]

Anybody finding it interesting that Skrulls are being used in the MCU?

[Sixx]

Why?

It's cool, but there's nothing extraordinary about that.

[Lock Jaw]

I think he finds it interesting because they could potentially fall under "Fantastic Four" characters and the Fox license.

[Sixx]

Oh...

Damn, well that's kinda hard to determine seeing how everyone fought the Skrulls already, but they did indeed first show up in a FF book.

[Rammsteinmad]

There's some crap quality leaked footage of that Infinity War trailer on YouTube. Looks absolutely incredible. Couldn't be bothered to post it here coz I figured it'd be taken down by the time anyone clicked on it. But hey ho, it is fucking epic.

[Sixx]

link link link

[Sixx]

ah nevermind, found it, disney blocked it

[Sixx]

But supposedly Rogers is

rocking his bearded Nomad look. Maybe people are exaggerating and it's JUST a beard. Dunno.

[Rammsteinmad]

Couldn't really make out enough if it was anything similar to his Nomad days, but he was indeed rocking a beard.

[Sixx]

Did he have the shield while rocking the beard?

INVESTIGATION!!!!

[Sixx]

Hahaha, the newest Thor - War Thor is

Volstagg

[Lock Jaw]

How many Thors do they need?

[Sixx]

They got 3 now. Probably gonna hit double digits by the end of the year.

[Blonde Moment]

Volstagg got ahold of the Ultimate Thors Hammer after having a bunch of children burnt to a crisp in his arms. To say he's a little unhinged at the moment is an understatement

[Kalyx triaD]

Is Beta Ray Bill dead or something? Why make yet another 'Thor'? And it's still awkward treating Thor's birthname as a mantle. Just dumb. "Introducing the All-New All-Different Luke Cage, a mixed race woman from Panama."

[Kalyx triaD]

https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/y2kagyx1hxyttdhvoy1g.png

[Lock Jaw]

Ant-Man doesn't make the poster-cut..... that's rough......

[Kalyx triaD]

He and Wasp are going to be in the second part of the story.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh..... is it confirmed that they aren't in the first part at all? Seems "weird" not to have Ant-Man in it......

[Kalyx triaD]

Remember the only movies between the Infinity War movies is Ant-Man & Wasp and Captain Marvel. Carol's story is an MCU flashback so the events there won't really effect the ongoing Infinity story, but I'm betting Ant-Man 2 will be a direct link between two big events that will usher them into the second part of the story.

And on that Michelle Pfieffer has been cast as Janet Van Dyne, the 1st Wasp. I was thinking it would be Sharon Stone who was rumored to be doing something MCU related.

[Fignuts]

Is that official?

If so Thanos' Black Order is in this. Probably one of the most badass group of minions I've seen in comics in a long time.

[Fignuts]

Fuck their names alone are badass.

Ebony Maw
Corvus Glaive
Black Dwarf
Proxima Midnight
Supergiant

[Fignuts]

FUCK YES

https://i.imgur.com/VorPU2Z.jpg

[Destor]

Dissapointed Super Giant didnt make the cut

[Destor]

(Small gripe tho)

[alvarado52]

Curious how they'll "connect" the movies from TV verses after Infinity War. Seems like such an epic collision it would be hard to ignore by simplying name dropping...unless the battles dont take place on earth at all.

[Fignuts]

Said this before, but the battle against thanos is likely going to be massive in scale, and it wouldn't be out of the ordaniry to see the defenders fighting on the street level.

I'm not expecting a 1v1 fight between luke cage and super giant, but a 10 second cameo of the defenders protecting civilians from thanos' soldiers would completely make sense.

[Lock Jaw]

I'd like to see some of the Agents of SHIELD in the background too..... might be "tougher" since they have a TV series continuity to worry about......

But, hey, Mockingbird isn't on the show anymore, they could have her and Hunter show up.... Mockingbird can have a "moment" with Hawkeye, and Hunter could be all "Uhhhhhh"

[Destor]

I think the shows using footage from the movies to account for their presence during the films would be adequate

Also the model for Thanos is reallt awful...no cowl?

[Fignuts]

I'm sure he'll have the cowl too. He's gone without the cowl at times in the comics

[Destor]

Well Glaive, Midnight and Black Drawf look great atleast

[Fignuts]

Proxima Midknight looks jacked. Wonder who's gonna play her.

[Sixx]

Hate the look, probably gonna love her in the movie anyway.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, they cheaped out on the look.

[Lock Jaw]

Budget went into her hair

[Fignuts]

Ahaha
I just realized...comic fans are going to complain that shes not "white", and outsiders are going to think they mean her race because who the fuck besides comic fans has even heard of domino.

Can't wait for all the recreational outrage on facebook and twitter.

[Kalyx triaD]

She's light enough to still use the black diamond on her eye and her hair isn't very 'assassin-y' but yeah she'll like be a great character. And she may make the X-Force movie roster so get used to her.

[Shadow]

I'm ok with this. I really am.

[Sixx]

She's freakishly white (even kinda blue sometimes?) in the comics, so I don't really give a fuck about her being black.

Thing is she looks like early 90s Lenny Kravitz.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, nobody cares whether the actress is black or white, but her pure white skin is part of her mutation, and her signature look.

It's like wolverine without his signature do'.

[Fignuts]

Like sixx said, I'm sure the character will be fine, and it's not the end of the world, but it would have nice to see an authentic appearance as she is a visually striking character in the comics.

[Destor]

Yeah i wish she were white. But its fine.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

So Inhumans is apparently garbage. Don't think anybody will be too surprised.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'll have to see it myself but yeah it didn't look too strong.

Ugh, that looks shit.

[Sixx]

Why is he so skinny? Josh Brolin is usually way more jacked than that. And why does he have a teddy bear? Or is it a turd? Meh.

[Lock Jaw]

Needs more pouches

[Rammsteinmad]

I'm happy with it. :y:

Though I am slightly disappointed that there's no ridiculously huge shoulder pads.

[Destor]

Looks great

[Destor]

Needs more pouches
Can never have enough pouches

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool. Very cool.

Teddy may be a reference to Hope Sommers.

A stunt woman working on Deadpool 2 died during filming recently.

According to CTV News, witnesses saw the “Deadpool 2” crew filming scenes with a motorcycle near Jack Poole Plaza. The driver apparently lost control of the vehicle around 8:20 a.m., driving off set and crashing through the window of Shaw Tower.

An Advanced Life Support Ambulance arrived and stayed at the scene for a little under an hour. The ambulance did not use sirens or lights when leaving the area, possibly indicating that the stunt driver died at the scene.

“People were running on the sidewalk, the motorcycle comes flying across the street, looks like from a ramp because it was in the air,” a witness told Global News. “[The rider was] standing on the bike, slams into that building, clearly hit and out-of-control and clearly not planned.”

Fan trailer.

Easy to tell with most videos these days.

A fake civil war trailer got me good once. My lesson there was timing.

[Rammsteinmad]

Well, now I feel like a knob. :p

[RP]

Finished reading Infinity Gauntlet earlier this morning. Great stuff. Didnt see the Nebula stuff coming. I loved the Captain America standing tall part, but I feel like Scarlet Witch's part was lame. Isnt she one of the most powerful?

[RP]

Crazy how MCU hasnt introduced Adam Warlock.

[Kalyx triaD]

Guardians 3.

Scarlet witch doesn't become crazy powerful til years later.

[Kalyx triaD]

Disassembled, House of M, M Day. Shit that affects Marvel to this day.

[slik]

Inhumans currently has 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.

[Destor]

Man...it's looks bad...I cant lie...but t has Lockjaw...

[slik]

Why did they hire the dude that made Iron Fist to do it...he seems 'not good' at making tv series

[Lock Jaw]

I must be one of the only ones who liked Iron Fist...... meanwhile Luke Cage is getting all kinds of critical acclaim and I didn't really care for that one at all.....

[Blonde Moment]

Want to see Luke Cage/ Iron Fist after season 2 of each...
MAybe a Daughters of the Dragon?

[Destor]

I want Heroes for Hire....

[Kalyx triaD]

Why did they hire the dude that made Iron Fist to do it...he seems 'not good' at making tv series

He "shoots fast and cheap".

[Sixx]

Spiderman - Homecoming - really good. But please stop with changing their races. There is no way a black guy would be called Herman Schultz.

[Kalyx triaD]

So they change the last name.

There's no stopping them.

[Sixx]

Oh come on, that's a name for a SS officer, not a black dude.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm binging Once Upon A Time and Merlin is black. I just don't care anymore.

[Sixx]

Fair enough.

[Sixx]

Ha, Punisher now has a car with a huge skull on the hood. A t-shirt is one thing, but if you're wanted for like 635656 murders you might want to keep a lower profile.

Yeah, I know it's just comics, made me giggle nonetheless.

Go back to the pedovan, man.

That's a pretty cool combo.

[Emperor Smeat]

Marvel currently working on a new X-Men comic series that is going to be a retelling of the entire 30 year history of the group.

Marvel Comics announced today that that cartoonist Ed Piskor is taking on the entire history of the X-Men in the new comic, Grand Design.

Piskor, who is best known for 2013's Hip-Hop Family Tree, is teaming up with Marvel to remix X-Men's long history over six issues of forty pages each. That's thirty years, 280 issues, and over 8000 pages retold in Ed Piskor's vision.

The comic will run over three years with differing names for the arcs - Grand Design, Grand Design Second Genesis, and Grand Design X-tinction. All six issues will be written, inked, and colored by Piskor himself. The debut issue will release on December 9, with a collection of the first two issues being compiled and released on April 17, 2018.

[Kalyx triaD]

Whatever at this point.

[Lock Jaw]

Six issues over three years to tell a very convoluted team history?

[Lock Jaw]

All the history will be retconned by the time the last issue comes out.

[Destor]

2 issues a year...or?

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah about two issues each year covering one arc.

Seems its going to be a small gap between the two issues based on plans for the first arch and then a long wait till the next set starts.

[Kalyx triaD]

Marvel will not be above changing the original team.

[Emperor Smeat]

ABC rumored to be canceling Inhumans after a single season.

Basis for the speculation involves current marketing for the series suggesting ABC won't be ordering future seasons.

Marvel’s Inhumans cancelled already? Ahead of the superhero drama’s primetime premiere, ABC is seemingly preparing for the worst.

The network is advising viewers to see “the COMPLETE series” from Sept. 29, rather than the ‘first season,’ suggesting Season 2 plans have already been cancelled.

I thinK with Domino shes going to have vitaligo to explain her skin. Patch on eye is the beginning stages.

I had so much hope for Evil Capt. America as someone who hated everything about him this was a welcome change but Secret Empire sucks balls its all over the fucking place and not in a good way. Im just gonna quit and start reading METAL.

[Emperor Smeat]

Heard a lot of bad things abut Secret Empire although I only have read up to issue 4 at the moment. Punisher working for Hydra and the cosmic cube memory stuff is the worst so far.

[KIRA]

I'll just say this if you do like Capt America when his part comes to a head it will piss you off

Once again:

Marvel does stunts for headlines and self congratulated press releases. They do not have follow-thru for the stories they tell. Up to and including entire event stories. Press releases and headlines have been the motivation for the last three years of their major decisions in the books.

I am not interested in this, but I will probably watch it to see Ramsay Bolton be evil again.

Marvel hasn't had a truly great event book since Annihilation.

Once again:

I wouldn't even care about this if the books were good, but despite a few exceptions like femthor, ms. marvel, and the all female X-Men, they really haven't been.

[Sixx]

I liked Civil War and Secret Invasion. Not too big of a fan of Marvel in space, to be honest.

[Sixx]

I also skip Spiderman events, because it's always a bunch of clones.

[Fignuts]

I don't really count the Spider-Man or X-Men events as they're more self contained.

I've gone into why I'm not a fan of civil war. Not going to rehash that. Secret Invasion was good. Just not great. The entire concept was based around a power set the skrulls have had since they debuted in the 60's. Just kind of felt like they were making a big deal over something the skrulls have been doing for decades.

[Sixx]

Hmm, wait, Avengers vs X-Men was ok.

Can't really think of any good Ultimate events. Cataclysm for instance was plain terrible.

[Sixx]

Ultimatum was bad, too. Remember thinking why has noone ever thought of making Wolverine sit out their battles with Magneto.

[Blonde Moment]

Just want the Fantastic four and the X men back and not the ones we got stuck with after the "realism" of the 90s onwards. I see some hope with the current patch of titles but they are just getting too bogged down. What happened to telling a story without fucking everyone over? The had a young version of the original 5 and they somehow managed to fuck them all up in what 5 years.... fuck.
Wolverines all over the place and getting tired. Let's replace him with 4 others instead...

[Lock Jaw]

I heard that the adult Jean Grey is coming back to life soon......

[Sixx]

Isn't that actress old as dirt now?

[Lock Jaw]

I meant in the comic books........

[Fignuts]

Hmm, wait, Avengers vs X-Men was ok.

Can't really think of any good Ultimate events. Cataclysm for instance was plain terrible.

AvX was ok, yes, but again nothing really great, that lives up to the hype that accompanies these events.

These days I look forward to the ongoing titles more than any crossover events.

Speaking of which, I'm also quite annoyed that the frequency of big events combined with the need to have tie ins in fucking everything means that stories in ongoing titles that I'm enjoying are constantly getting interrupted.

[Fignuts]

I heard that the adult Jean Grey is coming back to life soon......

And I'll bet people are crying about it, despite it being over a decade since she's been gone.

[Blonde Moment]

Want to see a Byrne Austin Clairmont run that takes off from the original plans for Uncanny 137 onwards

[Blonde Moment]

He's back
Snick!
and it's the real deal

[Sixx]

The fuck does snick mean and what is it you're saying?

[Fignuts]

He meant"snikt".

[Kalyx triaD]

Well... suppose a scrap between him and his old self would be interesting.

[Fignuts]

I mean it was going to happen. No one seriously believed he was going to stay dead.

[Kalyx triaD]

I knew it with the cop-out encassed in adamentium thing. Marvel is actually kind of brutal with deaths that stick. Beautiful kind of poetic deaths are always laced with cop-out potential.

[RP]

The fuck does snick mean and what is it you're saying?

Wolverine was killed in the comics 3 years ago and now he's back

[RP]

And apparently he has a Infinity stone.
