Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

One iteration of the story I read, assuming it was true, is that there was 1 or 2 intelligent vampires as the villains, while the rest of the vampires were just an army of mindless CG monsters. It sounded very sterile and unimaginative as a concept.

Ha!

Looks like they are going with a straight up horror.

Hopefully with the Netflix MCU back in the fold and Deadpool there as well they won’t shy away from making more adult content.

I HAVE seen Wandavision and this still holds no interest to me. The only Marvel series that held any interest to me was Falcon And The Winter Soldier. That was pretty good. But when you are throwing that much money, that many good/great actors, that much backstory at something..... is "Pretty Good" really worth it? Secret Invasion could have been AMAZING. A 70's Cold War paranoia vibe series. Involving a post Blip world and a world where people try to struggle against oppression in a superhero world... nah.

Just bite the bullet and give a series with no connections to existing films (or next to none).

Take the Star Wars series. Obi Wan? Initially interesting but lost focus. Boba Fett? An embarrassing joke. Complete with Power Ranger kid Mods like some cheap Sci-Fi rip off of a Quadrophenia poster (not the movie, just the poster). The Mandalorian, their biggest hit? A merchandising dream that makes no sense and relies on cameos to keep people interested.

Meanwhile.… Andor. Yes, tangentially related to the movies but absolutely fantastic. Understated performances from great actors. No pandering to merchandising (the one main droid having more heart with one line ("she has p-p-pain in the knees") than any of the rest of the movies or series). No lightsabers, no jedi minimal cameos. No comedy generals or robots. And, in 11 episodes, at least three of the best monologues in the entire franchise.

TThere Is SO much space to have an interesting Marvel series. But there is too much money to be made sowhy bother thinking outside the box?

Maybe camp horror based on that final bit of the trailer!

Usually these unnecessary spin offs irk me but it looks potentially like a lot of fun. I hope it does well.

Have to say that looks pretty good. Obviously the flying and Red Hulk stuff could push it too far into CGI nonsense in the end, but looks pretty interesting so far anyway.

"You may be Captain America, but you're not Steve Rogers"

"You're right, I'm not"

Yup, that's a problem mate. Not a bad ass moment.

Like the look of the trailer to be honest. Looks promising - but the movie has an uphill struggle to prove itself.

Replacing Chris Evans is as big a deal as Captain America.

I actually liked Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and I liked Sam Wilson's character in it - but it did get mixed reviews iirc. This movie will be taking on those mixed reviews, plus the people who weren't bothered to watch it, plus the people who will be uninteresed because its not Steve Rogers.

I love all the 'original' Captain America movies, Winter Soldier is my fave Marvel movie. I'm hoping this lives up to the legacy. But not only is it battling the legacy, its battling the 'creative direction' Marvel has done in. I doubt this feels as grounded or physical as the originals.

Yeah that didn't land like they thought it would...but all things considered that was a good trailer overall.

The odds is still against it being in any way coherent, but they passed the first hurdle which is to entice.

And Ryan is in Blade 3
