Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

Good to know, updated the list

Really should be seeing stuff soon about Black Panther. I suppose they just wanted to get Thor out of the way. But they really need to the publicity train given the loss of Chadwick Boseman. God, he was impressive. I know NOTHING about the character so I won't compare to the comics but, as a movie character, he absolutely NAILED it. To have SUCH an audience impact in Civil War.... A movie that had all the top tier MCU characters bar Hulk and Thor. AND bringing in (the also fantastic) Spidey???!!! And then Black Panther movie? Sure, the world fixated at the time about it being the first black superhero movie (I know, I know. Don't go there 😀 ) But looking back now, after the hysteria, it is still one of the strongest of the MCU movies. Of course it bungles the ending with shonky CGI and yet another CGI large scale battle scene. Standard MCU. But it had the most interesting bad guy (Remember that it's a young Killmonger asking his dad about the wonders of Wakanda in the opening). It had strong female characters without that eye-gougingly awful Endgame sequence. They were bad-asses who just happened to be women. BFD. They had characters that actually FELT human. It had the best soundtrack (The music in the casino scene is awesome).The Soundtrack to Into The Spiderverse was superb too but not MCU. Check out the "What Up Danger" scene on YouTube if you've already seen the movie to remind yourself). As a middle-aged white Irishman, I could give a flying f* about it being The First Black Superhero Movie(tm) - Again, I know.... It was simply one of MCU's best: (For me, in no particular order, top 5: Iron Man 3, Winter Soldier, Ragnarok, Black Panther, Civil War).

So they potentially have a tough time ahead. They have lost an extremely charismatic lead actor. There have been rumblings about a troubled shoot and troublesome actors. While it was only 4 years since the first one, it seems like so much longer for so many reasons. So I expect them to start a major campaign starting with Comic-Con shortly. They need to get it on people's radar sharpish.

I think The Mutants sounds more suited to a Disney+ series where it can focus on different characters. For a movie the name sounds like a low budget horror movie.

Sounds odd. I mean, sure the X-men movies have been very inconsistent in quality (Think X-men 2, New Class and Days of Future Past with X-men 3 and Apokalypse).

But they are a HUGE property and many will be really excited about seeing X-men and FF being brought into MCU.

Unless it's a sort of soft intro like pixelburp suggests (Introducing the IDEA of mutants with a post-credit stinger of Prof X which will lead to a proper full-on X-men movie).

I mean, if it is a full-on X-Men movie with Prof X and other tier 1 members then why not use use the name? As others have said, it's quite a low-key name. It SHOULD be titled "Holy f*****! It's Prof X & Cyclops and Jean Grey with Spiderman and Hulk and Thor and sh*t".... Part 1 lol

I am Groot. I am Groot. I am Groot.

I know "Caltech" is a real place but I bet there's going to be more to it than meets the eye in the MCU.

"Bruno meet your lecturers, Bruce Banner, Erik Solveig and Hank McCoy."

You know what I think is the best Fantastic 4 movie?

The Incredibles 😜 (How Pixar got away with that one in the days before they were under the Disney umbrella who knows)

I wonder what kind of tone the F4 will have. On a scale from of Logan dark to Love and Thunder silly where would F4 fit in?

The trailer in question;

Marvel Zombies will be Disney+'s First Mature Audiences Marvel Show

Honestly, the only thing that worries me about everything they announced, is that Daredevil will be 18 episodes. Given that we already have the backstory and history of these characters and most of the supporting cast, thats a lot of momentum to try keep going for a season 3 times as long as some of their others like Loki, Moon Knight and Ms.Marvel which did have some dips in the middles. Surely they could have found some way to break it into two seasons and give themselves a chance to adjust between seasons if there were issues with the first season.

Either that or they're telling a long story detailing both Matt and Fisk's journeys over the last few years as well as how and why they're interacting with Hawkeye, Echo, She-Hulk etc.

Yeah I wonder if reshoots were needed for some or were impacted by Covid. Next year is going to be packed. Interesting that both Avengers films are in the same year. I'm guessing something big like the Snap happens at the end of the first film like all Multiverses merging and Secret Wars will lead to reboot of the MCU. The 2015 Secret Wars event in the comics is good example.

Also didn't see Armor Wars in Phase 4,5, or 6 so wonder what happened there?
