Didn't look like an adult to me but a teen. In the comics he aged quickly, I don't recall the reason though.

Did Hulk conceive him years ago?

I think the implied timeline, was this happened when Hulk was on Sakaar during Thor: Ragnarock. So when he was sent off planet at the end of Age of Ultron until Thor Ragnarock. I'm not sure of the exact time line but it's been greater than 5 years since Hulk was on Sakaar. I want to say it was a one or two years where Skaar went from kid to teen to adult.
Thanks makes more sense now.

Remember time works differently on Sakaar. Loki landed a few weeks before Thor and Hulk had been there a few years already.
And I enjoyed the She-Hulk finale. Wonder if DD and She-Hulk continue the dating it seems they have started.
I think DD will be fine in his own show. They acknowledged that they wanted him to match the show's vibe, so put him back in Hell's Kitchen, with the darkness and Kingpin and he will be DD.

Did I see multiple "watchers" when they arrive?
Looks like more drivel. I think they've run out of ideas.

And it's Debbie Downer.
I wouldn't go so far as to call it drivel......but if they don't radically advance the overall meta in this movie.....I'll think they don't know how to get where they want to get.

Is this the first movie of the next "phase" now?
Dr. Octopus
Footballguy
I think so. Wakanda Forever ends this phase.

What distinguishes this phase from the next one?
Dr. Octopus
Footballguy
The Phases are determined by Marvel. Not sure the criteria.

Not very familiar with Kang. Wiki says he has no powers but is wicked smart and can like control time and whatnot. How does he measure up as a big bad compared to Thanos?
Hawks64
Footballguy
He has no powers just like Iron Man or Dr Doom have no powers.....so he measures up just fine.
Hawks64
Footballguy
They have already set the stage for the Kang phase with the show Loki. I would be money the TVA shows up in this phase and I can't wait, it should be a lot of fun with all of the time travel and Quantum universe.

I really enjoy the MCU and will continue to watch, but there are enough superheros, i do not want to watch the DC movies as well.
If the DC universe wants to expand it should lean into the Sandman/Constantine franchise with small amounts of mainstream DC.
THE Suicide Squad is the best movie in the DCU

Footballguy
Thought it was interesting enough to share especially given the success of the Gunn MCU movies.
MTskibum
Footballguy
It is worth posting in this thread if only for the reason that Gunn doing DC movies means less/none of him in the MCU universe.
Hawks64
Footballguy
Hence my post. He's not doing DCU movies he's running it like Feige is the MCU. He won't be doing future MCU things.
ETA - and maybe with him being done with GotG it may not be a big deal

Saw Black Panther last night. Kid and I enjoyed it. Caught some emotions throughout the movie. A couple surprises I didn't see coming. Couple things that were predictable. All in all a good sequal.

Work rented out two screens to see the black panther thing. I didn't know the backstory at all. Was very long. Slept thru some of it but found it odd that the US has at best some apple Mac books and some other people has force fields, all the unobtanium, teleports, and invincibility hacks? Then some mer men Atlantis types come in and wear water on their face to breathe. Don't see the appeal.

I liked it. Had a few touching moments regarding Chadwick Boseman. Had a few genuine surprises. It drug a little in some places. Some of the action pieces were really good. The CGI on a certain piece of technology (trying not to spoil anything) was fairly bad for a Marvel tentpole movie. Overall I liked it but have it slotted lower than the first picture.

As far as I can tell, nothing.
But then there wasn’t really a clean break between Phase2 and phase 3, while the ending of phase 1 and 3 were well defined. The biggest difference here is there isn’t even a real crossover to end phase 4.
I assume Namor will show up in other things, as clearly two of the supporting characters will have their own leading roles soon.
For an ending of a phase, WF sets more things up than it closes. AoU did too.
I think they handled Chadwick’s death very well. I’m not sure how much of a story was written before, but it must have changed a lot.
As always, Shurri and Okoye are awesome.

Phase 4 movies ranked (obviously just my opinion). factors: plot, first impression, rewatchability, overall sensibility, fun (1-5 for each)
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (5,5,5,5,5) - probably my favorite MCU movie, maybe tied with winter soldier and GotG1
Spider-Man: No Way Home (5,5,4,4,4)
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (5,5,5,4,3)
Black Widow (4,4,5,4,3)
Thor: Love and Thunder (4,5,3,2,5)
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (4,5,3,3,3)
Eternals (3,3,2,2,1)

Wow Shang Chi isn't even in my top 20 MCU movies.
Anyway, Phase 4 has been a HUGE disappointment. I'm not gonna rank them but all the above movies were below average to average except Spiderman (I didn't see Black Panther yet). Just a completely forgettable bunch of movies.

that’s certainly an opinion. I’ll readily agree that on the whole, phase 4 is below the others. But I just really enjoyed Shang chi.

Phase 4 has certainly been a miss. Oddly, if we include the Disney + series as part of Phase 4 (and perhaps we should be doing that), it would be elevated greatly (but still behind the other phases).

Spiderman No Way Home was the only one from this phase that hit my top tier. In the next tier of "really liked" I have Shang Chi and Wakanda Forever. The more I thought about Love and Thunder I dropped it a tier down to "Still Good". Black Widow and Multiverse of Madness were in the "Just OK" tier and I still haven't finished the Eternals (nor do I really plan to at this point). Black Widow suffered from the movie being delayed so long, and knowing what happens to the character. Multiverse of Madness I had huge expectations for because of WandaVision and Loki, and then it turned out to mainly be a horror movie with some cool points.
It was almost impossible to believe that Marvel could keep the momentum going with what it had, and sadly it played out. Hopefully they rely on the strength of Spiderman and the Guardians, and then perhaps infuse new blood with mutants and the Fantastic Four. Marvel needs a compelling villain badly, and I'm not sure Kang is going to be it.

I'd have to watch Shang-Chi again. I wasn't as enamored with it as most when I first watched it. Maybe I was expecting something different.

My family really enjoyed the holiday special. That is something we may watch every year around this time. It was very well done and clever, even if obviously a small budget production.
Getting to see a new side of Mantis and seeing a "thicc" Groot took some getting used to but still very fun.
The reveal at the end was actually mentioned in the very very beginning of the special when Mantis and Drax were talking. It seemed a bit out of the blue and forced for the story but when you consider how Ego functioned, it was not an outrageous leap.

Black Panther 2 was so much better than any of the other Phase 4 movies. It felt like a superhero movie with a cool villain, cool gadgets, great music. I'm so sick of all the magic and multiverses in the rest of the phase 4 movies. I have a feeling Antman gonna be a huge disappointment for the same reason since movie takes place in Quantum Realm.
I didn't know about any controversy but it was completely unnecessary in the context of the movie. It's like Disney just threw it in to be woke. Shocking. Didn't even know those 2 were together.
