BornWinner Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It appears that Ms. Marvel will not have her usual powers in the MCU. OPTIMUS124 1 Quote Link to comment
HD-Man Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'm guess they didn't want her having powers too similar to Mr Fantastic. Honestly I'm not sure of the logic behind this change, seems kinda random OPTIMUS124 1 Quote Link to comment

As long as her powers are functionally the same I'll probably be fine with it. I imagine this ending up like a Raimi Spider-Man thing where people argue about Organic Web Shooters while I mostly don't care. Yea it removes an invention of his but there where other ways Raimi could have shown he was smart. I bet this will be somewhat the same only smaller because Ms Marvel is less a part of thr cultural zeitgeist then Spider-Man. OPTIMUS124 and HD-Man 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) When I hear Ms. Marvel, my first thought is still Carol Danvers. Conversely when people say Captain Marvel, "Shazam" comes to mind first then Monica Rambeau, then Carol Danvers. Edited October 25, 2021 by Darc_Requiem RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, it kind of sucks from that stand point her first unconscious use of her power was to be someone else but she learns early on to be herself, which was pretty heartwarming. But yeah this smells like a cheaper and easier to make shiny construct then warp her body in different ways. I just really hope aside from this change they nail the book's early arcs and tone so the character is done justice. Quote Link to comment

Hawkingbird Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I've been playing the Guardians game and it's been amazing. I easily recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the movies. The character personalities and interaction are very much in line with the MCU counterparts. I do like they injected more of the comic for the overall universe.

Hawkingbird Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I think I reached the endgame in Guardians Spoiler I was happy to see Adam Warlock is in the game. He was hinted a few times before but I'm glad to see he actually shows up. Magus being the behind the Church makes everything sweeter. I think this game found a way to make him a bigger asshole than he normally is. Quote Link to comment

HD-Man Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Morbius actually looks.....good. That's saying alot cuz I never gave a shit about that character. And I'm not sure if all those references or just Easter eggs, the post credits scene from Venom 2 makes it more confusing actually Quote Link to comment
Maxx Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 looks better made than both venom movies and looks comic book accurate . but i just dont give a fuck lmfao. i didnt care about him in the 90s during the animated cartoon and i dont care about him now. the only reason to ever give a fuck was if blade came along Hawkingbird, HD-Man, Darc_Requiem and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment

I gave Morbius a shot when in the 2000s they gave him a push complete with having him headline a solo book, then multiple monster/horror based mini series and such all designed to push him. But as I kept reading people try to make him work I found it just doesn't for me personally. And I am cool with Vampires and such he just isn't that fun of a character compared to Man Thing, Werewolf by Night, Marvel's Overpowered version of Dracula and other horror characters. Hell even among redeemed Spider-Man villains I can think several others I would rather read or watch. Quote Link to comment

MillionX Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) I'm just now catching up here and saw the Morbius trailer... right from the jump they scored some bonus cool points for using a cover of the infamous "People Are Strange" song, which for me is forever associated with The Lost Boys in my mind. People keep doubting this character and concept being a movie for some odd reason....but soon they too will see and understand the greatness. (**EDIT---I've suspected that it's because the first impression of this character for a lot of people was probably when he appeared in the 90s-era Spiderman cartoon....this is unfortunate because that show was terribly limited by the "standards and practices" of the time, resulting in a pathetic, gimped version of what he's supposed to be...and he looked silly back then too, but of course that was the fault of the artists and horribly cheap animation on that show.)

People doubt him because he's literally never been popular. That cartoon was legit his peak. Absolutely no one has ever asked for amobius comic... He isn't remoteky in the top 10 Spiderman villains.

HD-Man Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Morbius is about as exciting as doing long division, his only highlight is that Blade wants to kill him when he shows up generally. Maybe this movie will help fix that perception tho, cuz Morbius is mad boring, I've never seen one fan of him until today on this forum Darc_Requiem, Wellman and RSG3 3 Quote Link to comment
DangerousJ Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I never thought he would ever get his own movie. Maybe at most he could be a guest star in a Blade movie. Sony got lucky with the Venom movies,but that is mostly due to Venoms status as one for the most popular Spidey villains if the early 90s and the presence of Tom Hardy. I m not having the same confidence for this or Kraven or whatever other Spiderman "side" projects Sony chooses to produce. Wellman 1 Quote Link to comment

axeman61 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Going to see Eternals tonight. It's among the lowest rated MCU movies ever according Rotten Tomatoes right now, but that makes me more interested in seeing it somehow. That's a new feeling for me. I rarely go to a movie RT says is rotten. I've learned my lesson a bunch of times there. EDIT: Forgot to ask: has anyone here seen it? Edited November 4, 2021 by axeman61 Quote Link to comment

HD-Man Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I'm honestly more interested in the Morbius movie than Eternals, which is saying alot cuz I don't care about Morbius as a character. The movie just looks much better made and more interesting than Eternals, with Eternals I feel like I'm just going to see what happens in the post credits while I'm genuinely interested in Morbius itseld Can't believe I just said that but that's how I feel Quote Link to comment

Especially since the Sony executives seem to have hard ons for the villains and easy to market stuff instead of going deep. I don't know how they got Into the Spiderverse made other then the directors sealing the project off from Sony until it was done. Quote Link to comment

If they get the right lead it could work. It would draw attention to the movie and if the film is solid, they should be able to make bank. Honestly I would have done a Black Cat movie over Morbius. I didn't even know Morbius had fans. At least with Black Cat you could tap into two markets. The "female empowerment" market and the larger "dudes that like fit chicks in skin tight black leather" market. 🙃 RSG3, Hawkingbird, Dracu and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment

Thanks to Spider Verse and the many many variants you can make a Spider-Man film or project set anywhere or anytime. Want to do something with some Noir you got a option or two, Dona future story you got options, ladies etc. Sony can pull from any and most of these characters, plus symbiotes which is and at the same time not a diverse pool, just not deep on differences. You are right outside of the Spiders and symbiotes the amount of characters you can bank on to carry a film are low which is why they have struggled for years to get it done. I mean Spidey has the best rogues gallery this side of Batman, but you don't see Warner trying to make a Penguin or Mr. Freeze solo movie work. Darc_Requiem 1 Quote Link to comment

But can evolve as well so that may explain why Thanos could be related. -I wonder who the voice was at the end.. The watcher? -Angelina having mental issues due to past trauma was a lil too on the nose lol -needed more cersei interacting with humans, so we understand what Ajax saw in her as leader. We didn't realllly see her interacting to humans. -I thought it was interesting they fucked with comic fans druig was originally the one who tried to out the sleeping celestial down and they changed it Eternals thoughts Quote Link to comment
