The Marvel comics and Mcu thread

How I wish we could just have a trailer of this already. Leaked photo from the Ant-Man 3 clip so beware.

 

Spoiler

It’s MODOK

My sister and I watched Black Widow last night. Out of everything in front of us, we were absolutely dreading watching this. As unfortunate as the circumstances of it’s release was, we both didn’t really care to watch a movie about her right after her death in Endgame. We watched it thinking the worst, but it was alright. Not bad at all. Aleksy and Yelena were show stealers and seeing this made me like their inclusion in The Thunderbolts a bit more. I did have one major problem with it though. Y’all know what it is.

 

I knew Taskmaster was going to be bad going in, but holy shit I feel like you guys undersold how lame she was. This is X-Men Origins Deadpool levels of bad. The genderswap is the least of the problems with this character. It’s the fact they turned a wisecracking, impersonal mercenary into a wordless, invincible bore of a character. It was also a waste of talent because Olga did nothing as her. This character should have not been named Taskmaster. If they had added Tony without changing him or even did Antonia with a few more changes, I feel like either would’ve made a better villain. 
 

Dreykov was lame too. Somehow too cartoonish (you can’t attack me if you can smell me) while also being nothing interesting. Taskmaster was just worse. Also she didn’t even wear a cape.

@BornWinnerYeah Taskmaster is terrible. Worse than X-Men Origin's Deadpool. Even in that incarnation, prior to his modification, he at least had a Deadpool like personality. MCU Taskmaster is the worst kind character change. MCU Taskmaster is Taskmater in name only. I'm sure I've missed one but ever incarnation of Taskmaster I've seen out side of comics has been good. MvC3 Taskmaster and Spiderman's Taskmaster were dead on.

Man she hulk is so good. No post credits scene by the way. 

 

Spoiler

Shout out to the DareDevil helmet at the end. Im not really a fan of them going with the original Bill Everett yellow suit but we’ll see how it looks on-screen.

Wong needs his own show or movie. I enjoy all of his random appearances 

 

 

Even though I think he could carry one, I rather see him as a cameo/ dispersed throughout. His deadpan delivery works across all of the MCU.

She Hulk is definitely my favorite of the new Marvel projects. The episodes are genuinely funny and not forced and the show knows exactly what it is. The 30 minute runtime also makes it extremely digestable too 

 

More stuff on this level please, Marvel.

Falcon and Winter Soldier is my favorite, but She-Hulk is a very close second. 

 

1. Falcon and Winter Soldier
2. She-Hulk
3. WandaVision
4. Loki
5. Ms. Marvel
6. Hawkeye
7. Moon Knight

Sidenote- I can't be the only person that thinks about this show again due to She-Hulk.

Me and my sister are almost finished with What If…? I had to make this after episode 8.

I was sick of then after the third time. Not the Goats themselves just that God damn fucking bleeting. Was not needed. 

[HD-Man]

Love and Thunder honestly isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's definitely not great but it was watchable.

 

My main complaint is the goats and Christian Bale not getting the screentime he needed. For a great actor like that, they didn't use him much as I thought they would. 

[BornWinner]

This might be an even bigger fumble than Terrence Howard.

Iunno, man. I feel Terrance is doing good. He invinted a whole new math that he’s only teaching in countries that don’t have readily and easy access to math books and a standard form of an education. 

 

if that’s not the signs of a genius and a trial blazer in the education field I don’t know what is.

I don’t feel that’s an odd stance to take. Terrance was excellent casting choice — arguably a perfect choice.
 

But to think he still deserved to be paid more despite everyone saying RDJ was the reason the movie was so good , the movie being responsible for making Marvel a household name again and TH himself barely being in the first movie to begin with?
 

Yeah, I don’t feel bad for him being recasted.

He could have easily been one of the best MCU villains . . . but jokes.

But to think he still deserved to be paid more despite everyone saying RDJ was the reason the movie was so good and likely knowing Marvel was going to build the mcu around him. Naw. That’s just arrogance and he deserved the boot. 

I don't see it that way, Terrence Howard was a  bigger name than Downey in that era, he won an Oscar for Hustle & Flow. That's not arrogance, that's charging what he was worth (at the time atleast). Howard made 8 million I think in the first Iron Man, then they tried to cut him down to 1 million for whatever reason, which was kind of an insult.

 

Since they ain't come to terms, they went with Cheadle for the much cheaper option. That's how business goes sometimes. 🤷🏾‍♂️

There's no rule against Marvel reusing actors but in different roles. I'd like to see Howard back, but as a villain. He can play some pretty dispicable, no nonsense bad guys 

 

Last time they reused and actor and recast them as a villain it was, superb (Black Mariah from Luke Cage)

Except he was wrong because they cut his ass with the swiftness and hire Don Cheadle so he wasn't as valuable to them as he thought he was. His mistake was thinking they have a fuck War Machine. They didn't. They'd fill it with anyone and they did. The movie was called Iron Man not War Machine dude thought more of himself then was actually in the role. 

 

He wasn't valuable to them and that's the essessment that matters. Now he's teaching fake ass math and peddling in conspiracy theories.

You're entitled to your opinion, but Terrance was hot at the time, way more so tho can RDJ. Iron Man was an untested property so they threw an Oscar winner in Howard there, just so happened RDJ killed his role. I don't likely see that Iron Man movie happening back then with just RDJ

 

And I kinda got an idea of why they'd lowball Howard but that's another debate entirely

 

And you should always think highly of yourself and take risks, sure it doesn't always pay off but oh well. Just because others may not see your value that doesn't mean you have non. that's life. Only difference is Hollywood's gamble payed off, Terrance didn't, although he still end up having  a good career 

 

And that last paragraph was kind of uneccessary, seems a bit personal and not very objective to what we're discussing. So I'm not gonna touch too much into that

@AriesWarlocki just the first issue for X-Terminators last night and it’s ridiculously good. It’s funny as hell and a blast to read. It’s just Jubes, Boom Boom and Dazzler getting drunk and being catty bitches to each other for 30 some odd pages. 😂

Haven't read it yet, but sounds interesting! Also the last issue of X-Men Red was great.

Spoiler

I can't believe Magneto is gone forever now!

 

Immortal X-Men #3 focusing on Exodus was also pretty good.

I honestly don’t think Magnus is gone forever. He might but who knows? 
 

Also with recent events and upcoming events in the X Books it feels like they’re about to just reset the timeline. If they do that’ll be a huge fucking bummer.

Looks like Emma will finally get to spend some time with the Captain

I thought Strange Academy was going to be silly like other hero school type of comics, but I liked it. Better than the recent Teen Titans Academy.

I also like that Emily is finding her way to the darker side 🤘

Oh god. I didn’t notice these covers. 
 

I don’t know which is worse: Steve being okay with banging someone who reminds him of his mom or Emma being okay with being banged by someone who she reminds them of their mom. 
 

I just know I don’t wanna see either’s Hub’s history now.

I don’t think so? But maybe  I know Marvel just announced some horror themed comics. Most of them are limited runs. Around 4-6 issues.

Not something I'd buy on release day, but I think it's good. And definitely has a lot of fans from what I can perceive. The consequences of the actions of characters feel real, and not something they can revert by waving a wand. An entertaining read.

I am sure she can find ways to change his mind about he looks at her.

This again. 
 

Understandable, but I still don’t think it was a good idea to get rid of a whole character. William Hurt (Thunderbolt Ross) also passed away recently. I wonder if they’ll not recast the role as well. 

[Darc_Requiem]

You know......nah. I can't with T'Challa stuff today. Whole situation is bullshit. Then I see the most clown shoes reply ever. Dude literally arguing that recasting him would be harder on the crew than Chadwick's family. The family that's lost their loved one forever.

Frankly, they don't even use Ross enough to need to recast the character and just write him out. He'll pay what's his name and have Ross or even a new character take over for those times they need a government face piece.

Deadpool 3 officially announced by the man himself (and Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine).

 

Edited September 27, 2022 by Dragonfave723

[DangerousJ]

I'm skeptical about Jackman being in this for more than a few minutes.

 

After the X-force stunt in DP2, Im betting he will be killed off again or minimized due to plot somehow.

 

I can see marketing playing it up to get people's hopes up.

 

Still, I am excited to see a new X-family film in only 2 years.

[Lantis]

Despite the fact that it will be exciting that Ryan and Hugh will FINALLY team up in a movie that won't potentially suck balls (*coughcoughXMenOriginsWolverinecoughcough*)  a part of me still feels that Logan was the perfect sendoff Hugh could have given the character.

 

Still we'll see when the date approaches

This is exactly what it’s going to be. Ryan and Hugh are just trolling the shit out of people.

I don’t know how to feel about this. On one hand, Cable was a whole secondary character in DP2 and he was played by Josh Brolin straight off the heels of Thanos. On the other hand, he had Brad Pitt appear for three seconds. This could go anyway. 
 

I’m excited for it though. Both Deadpools were good movies in my opinion.

[HD-Man]

I was excited at first til I read this thread, Jackman just might die in the first ten minutes. Deceptive marketing 😭😂
