Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

Yeah that was a huge problem with the film. By using it to set up what will be Kang and his story, they put Ant-Man in a place where his abilities don't really matter and can't be used imaginatively like the previous films, they put Scott Lang in a place where you can't really utilise his character, and it lost all the ancillary stuff which made the previous films fun (the supporting cast, using his abilities in the real world).

Alessandro Nivola is reportedly playing Rhino in Kraven

I saw a headline that Gunn said Guardians 3 has the MCU’s first use of the word “****”.

I thought that would mean to the film would be certified 15 here and in the U.K. (I know “****” alone at least used to be enough to make a movie 15s) but the film is only 12A.

Has the rule changed?

Just curious about that.

Have to laugh at the comment I read that it means Marvel is taking the steps towards aiming the movies at a mature audience”? Speaking as someone who swears a LOT, it is clear some people don’t know the meaning of “mature”. It was used in movies because that is just how people talk but lately people seem to think “oh, if they **** this must be cool and grown up”.

Profanity used to mean something but now it is just a sign of lack of imagination - and I include myself in that.

Also, how long is it likely to be before we know the outcome of Jonathan Majors’ legal trouble? Whenever an actor gets in trouble I find it suspicious when other people “come forward” with more claims but at the same I am very aware that I have never been a victim of anything so it is confusing.

It is not. The new one might bring it in via some multiverse shinanigans but the first two were the Fox/X-Men-verse.

I don’t think they do actual mention it. It is referenced but in a way that doesn’t geive any details. All the shows avoided any direct talk of other heroes and events.

And the early seasons of AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. where affected by big events in the films and had many many mentions of other heroes but the show is not MCU canon.

I remember there is a flashback to before the abduction, where Trish is trying to encourage Jessica to get a secret identity and fight crime.

No that was talked about long ago and for a long time.

Those shows are part of the MCU - Cox and D’Onforino have said they are big playing the characters differently and Daredevil is a lot more light hearted and funny now.

So the Netflix show, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the other live action stuff can be considered from the Multiverse.

I can't see them letting Vince decapitate someone with a car door in the new iteration somehow. 😅

At the end of ENDGAME did Quill say anything about visiting his grandfather or relatives or did one of the Guardians ask if he was going to?

No, and I think I remember Gunn in an interview saying that Quill wouldn't have and that he got off Earth as quickly as he could, and he wouldn't have visited old family because he was too far removed from it all and it would have reminded him too much of his mother's death.

Well they let John Walker decapitate a Flag Smasher with Captain America's shield.

For the first two seasons, the show runners had Jos Whedon at the top table feeding them information on plans up to Age of Ultron, after he left that all dried up and they were left to go their own way.

I don’t remember any mention of Thanos or the Snap in the series.

I thought they avoided having it affect the show by putting the team into the future and then time travelling in the final season.

You dont see the head getting crushed, they carefully place the camera never showing the head getting smushed, the only gore is audio and then some blood splatter on Wesley's face..
