Mr. GOH! Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 Do we need to hide any of the discussions of that trailer and the fallout from Endgame behind spoiler tags any longer? I think everyone who particiaptes in this subforum has seen it or is already avoiding this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 So some of the gifs that are coming out? I did hear a good remark actually that this is a better "feminist" scene than the ..well that scene..since it's got the male and female characters on equal footing of abilities, helping each other out fighting side by side. And both have been in from the get go unlike much of the ladies in the A-Force shot. Though she does only have 70% of the energy output of Iron Man.... And I know there's the "I Am.." gif kicking about too but be a bit too spoilery to post. Wish companies would get on the ball with sharing official gif sets. Also what's an NDA? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Also for anyone caring on the Endgame v Avatar thing: Endgame is about to get a re-release in cinemas with "extra scenes" (I'm aware already the 'post-credit scene' that got added is Spider-man trailer. No idea what'll be extra here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 *deep breath* On the film front we have: Black Widow, 1st May 2020. Rachel Weisz as Black Widow...cos they're having multiple! Eternals, 6th November 2020 Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Salma Hayek, loads more. Then into 2021, 12th Feb specifically, we have Shang-Chi, with Simu Liu as Shang-Chi. I'm guessing Ten Rings we might get the real Mandarin. Onwards to 7th May 2021 with Cumberbatch and Olsen in Doctor Strange. So we might see her as an actual "witch" (much like the comics have sometimes dabbled with). Multiverse atm is a loaded word though. And maybe we might, with Scarlet Witch, see a House of M like event (comics atm meant to be due a House of M 2 style event) And wrapping up 2021 on bonfire night (5th Nov) we have Thor, once again with Taika Waitti as director, Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie; King of Asgard, Chris Hemsworth as flabby Thor, and returning in a new role we have Natalie Portman as....Lady Thor, Queen of Asgard. And in an unannounced date but totally also in an unannounced scrapping of the Netflix shows as cannon we have Blade (it has Mahershala Ali as Blade, and he was previously someone else in Luke Cage). *deep breath the second* on TV (well Disney+) we have: Logo says "Captain America" but the naming still very much "he's Falcon". Has Daniel Bruhl, aka Baron Zemo in it. Time hopping Loki show. Assumedly following the adventures of the time heist split Loki. Not a clue what the idea is with this one. Seeds planted in Endgame will follow Kate Bishop as (I'd guess) the new Hawkeye while old Hawkeye continues as Ronin-ish. Animated show with voice cast from the MCU and narrated by Jeffrey Wright (Bernard in Westworld) as The Watcher. (because ffs Stan Lee is "Watcher Informant" not "The Watcher") *and exhale* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Nope. Sorry. This is just too much to follow. I was fine with seeing a couple of movies per year, but if you're telling me that I have to watch all these shows to keep up with the MCU storyline then I think I might be getting off after Guardians 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 So in 2022? Cos GotG 3 is only announces in production, not on the phase 4 release slate so far. Also I doubt the shows will be required watching. Loki is set in a defunct timeline, What If is literally in the name, and Wandavision is a total unknown. Film wise they're massively pacing it down. It's neatly a year's until the next MCU film after 4 in the last year. I think it's justified so long since we had a Phase map laid out it's a bit of a shock to see it in one go. Their last one was massive (though also had the now canned Inhumans). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 They start filming in 2020, so unless something else goes wrong it'll probably be out in 2021. I can only assume they didn't mention it because the whole thing is a sore spot for a lot of people, Disney included. Either that or Gunn wasn't available for Comic Con because he's working on Suicide Squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Endgame has now officially passed Avatar as the highest grossing film of all time. And don't give me that shit about inflation because if we account for that Avatar was never number one to begin with. I doubt anything will ever surpass Gone With the Wind but that film is a masterpiece so it can go ahead and keep the top spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I'm with @Mister Jack, that list is just overwhelming and makes watching any of it seem like a chore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I can't say I see what you guys mean. Aren't those shows confirmed to be short 6 episodes series? If anything, this seems like less of a commitment than before. And unlike the Netflix series, they're actually going to matter to the overall MCU. Plus, the shorter episode count likely means none of the pacing issues that plagued the Netflix shows. My only problems here are that I don't care enough about Hawkeye to want a show focused on him and Vision is the fucking worst, so I don't want more of him either. What If seems like it can easily be ignored if that's not your thing. Other than that, Shang-Chi and Eternals both seem to have potential (especially the latter if it's going to get even weirder with cosmic bullshit) and I need those Doctor Strange and Thor sequels right in my veins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 Yeah, given all the Netflix shows have ended if you were watching those you're swapping out like 4 shows for 5 shorter shows. And while they're more closely tied to the MCU I've a suspicion that it won't be as heavily required viewing as the films are (What If being pretty standalone goofiness, Loki from a canned timeline, and Wandavision might be a House of M-type alt reality/dream/thing). A total aside for some FFH/Endgame stuff Spoiler Hulk is literally the one that brings everyone back, but it's Iron Man that's glorified and all he did was die. Hulk both brought back half the universe and survived doing it which means everyone is like "well you did your job competently so screw you". Doesn't even get a mention in FFH unlike requests for Thor and Captain Marvel. It's lucky for everyone that Prof Hulk is pretty humble. Regular Hulk would have being "fuck you" and reversed his actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Hulk would have being "fuck you" and reversed his actions. Didn't Hulk get permanently fucked up from using the stones? I assumed he wasn't requested because he's effectively retired like Cap. As for the other point, I imagine it's because it was more like 'The Avengers brought everyone back' versus Tony sacrificing himself and stopping Thanos like right after even Captain Marvel had failed. Which I'd argue counts as a little bit more than just dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Up to you the order you watch them in. It was always said how much Stan Lee loved doing the films, and how he kinda revered film makers (while on the otherside they're revering him :P). It really does come across in the clips how much of a delight everyone had on set when he was doing the cameos. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you get snapped into dust by a purple scrotum man and then you get brought back only to end up getting stuck under Sony's creative control again. RIP Spider-boy.

TheMightyEthan Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I think Sony is massively undervaluing how much being part of the MCU was helping Spider-Man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 If this is truly the end, then the post-credit scene is kinda... dark. So Peter has to go off the grid, à la Nick Fury, because of Mysterio/Beck outting him and he's never seen until something changes back in reality. Pretty screwy now, eh?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 There's no good guy in this situation, but there is a loser; us. Disney wanted a bigger slice of the Pie I guess? Not sure they really needed it, but businesses are gonna do what businesses are going to do right? Sony aren't willing to give up that sort of money for their 'premium brand'. I think that's a mistake, the reason Homecoming and Far From Home did so well is directly tied to the fact that they're in the MCU; this is a thing. Taking Spidey out of that hurts everyone, especially the fans. But hey fuck the fans, they're only the ones who go see the movies, buy the home released, subscribe to our platforms and spend money on the merch. Who needs them to be okay with anything.

Mister Jack Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 From what I've heard, Sony was paying for the movies and Disney got 5%of the gross. The new deal they wanted was 50% of the gross in exchange for paying 50% of production costs. You can debate whether that's a good deal or not, but we can all agree that Sony needs Disney a lot more than Disney needs Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yeah, I don't really feel any sympathy for either company. You'll find people siding with Sony because Disney is "bullying" them, but we're talking about two gigantic corporations fighting over money, nothing more. Like this isn't some kind of holy war where Sony is nobly fighting for Spider-Man. Spider-Man is a cash cow and both Disney and Sony want more out of it. Heck, when Sony was leading the gaming market, they didn't want to play nice with anyone else. It's kind of to be expected of them really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I'm beginning to wonder if Sony were always planning on this to be the case. What better way to kick-start your own Spidey-verse than by piggy backing off the already huge MCU. There's nothing wrong with that, but again, we lose out. All that being said, Disney really could give Sony what they're demanding and it wouldn't effect their bottom line in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
