Mario Kart 3,944 Posted October 12 Here's another alternative view on a different movie. However, this one is more intriguing, imo. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leeroy Jenkins 2,436 Posted October 13 Why are First Class, Days of Future Past, And Logan so good, but Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix such abominations? They really messed up what could have been a satisfactory storyline. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They really messed up what could have been a satisfactory storyline. My best guess is that they did not have consistent strong leadership like the MCU has to keep the oversight in place. The writing in particular was extremely inconsistent. The worst movie in the series was The Last Stand, written by Simon Kinberg The second worst movie in the series was Dark Phoenix directed by Simon Kinberg. This is not a coincidence. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they had their own Kevin Feige type of person to over see everything to make sure the flow of movies made some sense.

The Dude 478 Posted November 11 Saw a note that the new Thor will tie heavily into Disney plus shows. It's great in a marketing concept - but I think that is a drag at the box office. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's great in a marketing concept - but I think that is a drag at the box office. Looks like both the Loki and WandaVision shows will tie heavily into Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as well. I loved when Shield worked alongside the movies, was disappointed there wasn't more interactions between the Netflix shows and MCU (they made veiled references since they were technically in the universe, but had no direct crossovers). Planned to watch them anyway, hope they work in better then Shield did. I do think it can cause issues though. Before they announced D+ would be avail on the Amazon services, my sister was ready to bail on both the shows and the movies if you needed to watch the shows to know whats going on. Didn't want to spend the $ on Roku or other services. I can imagine others may feel the same. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heard rumblings through ScreenRant that with the recent changes at the top of Marvel, some of the Netflix characters may now become available in the movies - one example provided was Daredevil. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capella 21,748 Posted November 11 I think it’ll be a thing like watching the shows will give you a few Easter eggs you get to appreciate in the movies. Marvel isn’t going to bury their golden goose with too many tv tie-ins that 50% won’t see. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mario Kart 3,944 Posted November 12 I don't see Marvel replicating what they were able to do with the 23 movies they did make. No way a story could be as good and as smooth as the Infinity one. Now, Marvel/Disney is in it for the money by pumping up Disney+ and all of these crossovers. Too much is going to be too much. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know 3 people off the top of my head who enjoy going to see the MCU movies in theatres as they are a fun experience — I can’t picture any of them sitting through 8 hours of programming each season on tv. I don’t think I want to necessarily sit through 8 hours of an MCU series either tbh. These characters do not need that much exploration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does Black Widow have a sister in the comics? Yelena Belova, who is another black widow in the comics, is the same general character in this upcoming movie. In the comics Yelena was not related to Natasha and I don't think it was ever mentioned in the comics that Natasha had a sister but they have retconned her character a few times over the decades so I guess it may have happened some where.

Although it appears they have made him pretty much the comic relief for the movie. Didn't like the initial look for Taskmaster, looks absolutely nothing like his comic counterpart. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corporation 535 Posted December 4 I think it looks good, but I wish they would have released this prior to Endgame. I guess that would have led to questions like "Where is Yelena or Red Guardian" (presuming they survive this movie) in Endgame though, which already had a crowded plate of characters. I'm in regardless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
