So Peter Parker came back in 2023, like everyone else, then stole a time travel band, figured out how to use the quantum platform, then went back to 2018 just to see his friends and get dusted again.
I was envisioning like sleep, then Steve was talking after they came back where they were, then teleported to Earth.
Doctor Who has it figured out quite nicely...wibbly wobbly timey wimey.
If Spider-Man is any evidence of what Sony would have done, they never in a million universes would have been able to replicate what marvel has done in this series. Just unreal.
Who did spider-verse? That was pretty awesome, although you probably couldn't do 22 movies from it
That is one thing that no one is really bringing up. The fact that the dusted people knew that they were dusted and are now back. What a total mind trip that must be for them and then Dr Strange having to give the run down to Spider Man and the Guardians before slinging everyone back to Earth for the final battle royal would be an amazing extra scene for the director's cut dvd release later on.
One brave decision made this franchise and it was Jon Favreau telling the studio he would personally insure Robert Downey, Jr. for Iron Man when no insurer would touch him because of his addict past.
That’s not the only thing that made this franchise. It was an awesome start but they could have started and ended with the iron man movies and it would have been a success.
And this has to be peak-Marvel right? I mean I know they are doing more movies and another phase and all that. And I’m looking forward to more and will throw all the money at them. But there’s no way they duplicate all this again, right? The characters just aren’t as a big at a minimum I would guess.
When they figured out exactly how to mix the humor into the comic book action, that was when they really picked up steam and started to roll with all of the more random characters.
Of course it did. But if anyone else had been Tony Stark this whole thing would have died on the vine.
1. Who knows. I figured if everybody he was worthy. He did seem to be more mature in this movie, so maybe he crossed the “worthy” line.
If the post-credit sound was Dr Doom hammering his armor, then they did tease the next arc.
He doesn't age as normal humans would so it makes sense that at 105 he would look 70.Doctor Who has it figured out quite nicely...wibbly wobbly timey wimey.
Anyhow, Cap looked like he was in his 70s sitting on that bench. By all rights, he ought to be closer to 105.
I thought it was funny but I figured at some point he would be shown doing some weights and would get back to shape. It didn’t bother me at all but it was weird they took it all the way through.
I’d be surprised if anything ever tops it but they still can make great, fun movies. Something doesn’t have to be the best thing ever for it to be an enjoyable trip to the movies.
Kevin Feige is the biggest reason for the MCU success and I don’t think it’s particularly close.
Good point, though everything I’ve read says it’s the noise of Stark building his first Iron Man suit.
While he definitely guided it, I don't know that they were on a track to achieve what they did until Avengers showed the way forward of how to make the comic movies work with the public at large. Obviously he shepherded them forward the rest of the way, but I think Whedon set them on the right path.
Feige is definitely a key component to all of this happening. He let the writers and directors lay out the vision and he got then the resources they needed and didn't get in their way. He kept them on task to the plan and they followed it through to the end.
Because he's worthy. It's been discussed about 10 times in this thread.
Wow, I did not know that. Great call by Favreau, and brave too.
Even more so, the infinity stone usage wrecked Thanos too, which is even more a show of their power.
Whedon is overrated. Favreau laid down the initial roadmap for the movies. Feige means more to the franchise than both.
No. Thanos would beat Thor one-on-one under any circumstance (obviously unless the scene required otherwise). There is always a power discrepancy/inconsistency but Thanos is one of the biggest bads in the history of comics. Yes it's the MCU, not the comics, but he beat Thor and all the Asgardians at the beginning of IW and the Russo Bros said Thanos wouldn't have needed the gauntlet to defeat Hulk.
Iron Man had zero lead in. If Marvel has demonstrated anything, it's patience.
It's a great point. Joss Whedon has acknowledged that he really didn't know where the Thanos post-credit scene was going but that it was important to have it in there.
