I could really see this being a “exit point” for a lot of people. The 10+ year investment has been wrapped up, do people feel as passionately about Spider-Man/Strange/Panther/Falcon/Bucky/Marvel/etc? Will those characters bring in the audience in the same way? Although it’s entirely possible they do.

I was a little worried about that too, but the X-men being under the marvel umbrella now will really help with that, I think.

KT, while I acknowledge your attempt at being cute, you should understand that the world doesn't revolve around you and other people might have unique experiences that you cannot relate to. Cheers.

Pretty much what XL just said in those last two posts. :y:

Edit: I'm on the wrong page, never mind.

Pretty sure Marvel/Disney care more about who the movie is meant for and what they think instead of the grown men that will cry if what they wanted didn't happen.

Racist.

I think Spidey, Thor, Guardians, AntMan, Black Panther & Doc Strange will all do fine.


Falcon & Bucky are getting their own show on Disney +, same for Scarlet Witch/Vision, Loki (rumored to be Loki interfering w/ a different era of World History each episode) & Hawkeye/Hawkeye's Daughter as a dad/daughter superhero team. Black Widow has a film, assuming a prequel, due out next year that's described as a James Bond esque thriller.


The real test will be the new characters. Shang-Chi will be martial arts heavy, The Eternals will be very much in the Cosmic realm of the MCU and it's been rumored Feige has his eye on The Black Knight (which would obviously be very swordfighting heavy).

Do you think Thor will get another solo movie? Spider-Man and Panther I agree with Ant Man and Strange ranked in the bottom half of MCU Box Office; do you think Endgame will raise their stock? I think at the moment I’m struggling to envisage the next team up movie being anywhere near as epic.

Totally agree with the feeling on the new characters. That said; There was a lot of who are the Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014 and look how that turned out.

I love this sort of thing

Not proud of it

It's hardly something to be ashamed of.

I’d really like to see them do another Thor movie with the god butcher story.

I bet Thor does, since the last one did so well. I think Endgame definitely raises Ant Man's stock and I am very pleased with that. I'm a big fan of the Ant films so far.



I'd really like the current big Marvel event, "War of the Realms", to get a film. It involves all the other realms conquering Earth. Here's links to the first two issues (the others haven't come out yet) that can be read for free online.

The Antman films are fun, and Paul Rudd is wonderful in his role. I'm totally for more films.

Ant Man is my favourite. Paul Rudd clearly loves doing it, his face when he talks about it is always full of joy.

it IS a movie

Finally saw it..... there was a lot going on, and not 100% sure it all makes sense... but overall I enjoyed it.

Does Marvel constantly have big crossover events now? I don't really keep up with their comics, but I swear I just hear of one after the other. Like one will start and then end, and then a month later I'll be seeing articles about another big Marvel crossover.

Yeah, too many. Most of them suck too. I just read Infinity Wars and I don’t even know what happened.

Seems like the more they try and fix things the worse it gets.
I kinda like Uncanny X men at the moment but i know its going to turn to shit within the year

Yes

And while I want to call them out on it DC currently has Heroes In Crisis, Doomsday Clock going on and is about to have DCeased, Year Of The Villain and EVENT LEVIATHAN going on at the same time too.

I though DCeased was some out-of continuity random mini-series, not a big event.... and that Leviathan was just a Superman thing.... and Year of the Villain was also not an event but just one of their 25 cent one shots they have been doing.....

as lock jaw said, i don't think dceased and yotv are technically big 'crossover events'

event leviathan is, but it's bendis so really what did we expect

even then, heroes in crisis and doomsday clock are largely relegated to their own series (i.e. i don't think there's like "heroes in crisis: batman" issues or whatever the way there was with, say, civil war/fear itself etc - might be wrong though, i haven't really been keeping up with books outside of my core reads), although they will/do have canon-wide consequences -- but otherwise, dc's last big thing like that, really, was rebirth, which was three years ago now

and to be totally fair, i think dc thought doomsday clock would well and truly have wrapped up by now - v much doubt they expected it to still be concurrent with heroes in crisis by the time it rolled around

Actually it's the same with marvel. There's still typically only one major, status quo changing crossover every year. But they've been throwing smaller ones in between for years now.

For instance, stuff like Chaos War and Damnation, while pretty big deals from a story perspective, aren't given the marketing treatment of say Secret Empire or Infinity Wars.

Anyway, when it comes to marvel, it's all about the ongoing comics. At any given time, theres usually a bunch of titles I'm really digging.

Which is why I hate the abundance of crossovers. The more crossovers, the more often good stories are interrupted by shitty tie ins.

All that said, War of the Realms is pretty fucking tits so far.

Endgame made a billion dollars within four days. Crazy.

It was always going to smash records. It seems fucking crazy to me that Avatar and Titanic were the films to beat. Both of them are awful.

Seanny, will you make an exception and go to the cinema to watch this?

No, I know what happens anyway so I'll wait.

Titanic wasn't that bad.

Avatar wasn't that bad

It's a travesty that Aquaman isn't #1

How dare you disagree with me

I honestly don't recall this female moment in the avengers. Can't find a clip either, can someone find it for me? lol

They weren't that good either.

Yeah but he said Titanic was awful.

They are awful.

DCeased is supposed to be Darkseid sending the Anti-Life equation via the internet, not sure if it's continuity or not.


EVENT LEVIATHAN Bendis said will be 'one of the biggest stories in DC history' and change the DCU forever...but again, it's Bendis, so that could mean that or it could mean absolutely nothing at all.


Year of the Villain will 'infect' almost every series. Starting in Justice League w/ the rise of the Mother of the Multiverse, Perpetua, it will see villains being given new powers to use on her behalf in multiple series as she attempts to turn the Multiverse into a weapon against the greater omniverse and her celestial siblings. Her children, The Anti-Monitor, Monitor and World Forger, will have to choose sides.
