Re: Avengers: Infinity War

This is really cool. They’ve been putting together a photo album of all the characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and their comic book counterparts. It’s amazing seeing all the portrayals and the sheer number of comic characters that are in the MCU. When this thing started 10 years ago, I never in a million years would have thought that we’d see this kind of comic representation in live action.

That is cool, but in this day an age, they couldn't come up with a less pixelated banner?

As far as reading the comics to prep for the movies, I think this is the genius of Marvel in the production of many of these movies. You can really go either way. As far as the major icons:

Iron Man: a good modern day depiction of the origin considering the country in which he initially fell down.

Cap: I thought needed a 2nd movie before Avengers; I think to a comic book reader, Bucky "died" too quickly. But the spirit of the character remained. Origin was true to form.

Thor: I recall coming away from the 1st thinking, man, they really peeled Asgard off the comic pages and stuck it on a big screen perfectly. If you think of it, Marvel took a pretty big jump in the 60's mixing mythological characters with Earthly ones.

Hulk: far cry from the origin story, but I guess Marvel didn't want to get caught up in anything potentially controversial like fictional gamma bomb testing, but Marvel generally keeping origins as "scientific".

Spider-Man (original): spot on for origin (unfortunately Green Goblin was wearing a Walmart Halloween suit)

Fantastic Four: let's not talk about it

X-Men: If we could just ignore X-Men 3, both times, but in terms of origin, especially Wolverine, I think this was treated well.

What about GotG?

What about GotG?

Not sure, but not a flagship title/team. But as you can see, the original team isn't the same, but has some recognizable characters:

They weren't really going for accuracy with the flagship titles/teams. Look at the Avengers. Sure, you've got the classic big hitters (Cap, Thor, Iron Man.) But you also have Black Widow.

Agree and disagree if you look at my summation. Certainly the BW wasn't Avengers ready in the early going..... she was presented as a manipulator Russian spy dressed like a Bond girl who used Hawkeye. Wasp was about the only female early on, next to the Scarlet Witch who, because of the whole mutant/Fox copyright crap had to have the storyline changed.

As far as GOTG, it was simply asked and I answered as best I knew how.

Chris Evans shared this shot today.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War

Character update in spoilers that was recently seen in a movie. DON'T OPEN IF YOU DON'T WANT IT RUINED BECAUSE I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT OUTRIGHT, NOT SOME FANCY WORDPLAY.

Spoiler

As we saw in Black Panther's end credit scene, Bucky Barnes is now the White Wolf. I assume Shuri completely wiped every single Winter Soldier aspect of his mind and memory.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War

Well this (kinda) ends that:

http://ew.com/movies/2018/03/09/marvel-studios-kevin-feige-mcu-future/

Feige basically confirms that they don’t have the go ahead yet to incorporate any new characters (X-men, FF, etc.) yet.

Damn. And, so, the wait continues.

I don't believe that for a single second. There is no possible way the man in charge of the whole cinematic universe can't use any such characters of his choosing.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War

I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, but I mean...if a potentially HUGE surprise and spoiler of the X-Men or Fantastic Four or Deadpool popping up in Infinity War or Avengers 4 was what Marvel has done/have planned, is Kevin Feige really gonna sit down in an interview and tell us it’s happening? The only reason we knew about the Spider-Man deal was because of Sony’s emails getting hacked that showed the discussions between the studios. They’re hand pretty much got forced in confirming the talks and when they made the deal. Even then, they said he wasn’t going to be in Civil War when everyone was speculating whether there was time to have included him in it and even went so far as to show us trailers where he was edited out of the airport shots of all the heroes. If I’m remembering right Spider-Man never appeared in any Civil War promotion until the final trailer. Pretty sure he said Venom wasn’t going to be apart of the MCU as Spider-Man is the only character in the MCU and we’re already hearing that Tom Holland has been on the set of Venom and may be making an appearance. So Kevin’s words should probably be taken with a grain of salt.

Exactly. It's pretty much their job to lie to us. Jason Momoa got cast as Aquaman a few years before it was announced and he had to keep denying it every time the rumors we're asked about.

Re: Avengers: Infinity War

Seems like there's 874+ characters for this movie.... I don't see the value of jamming in these characters coming over from the buy out and potentially ruining the chemistry of what's already in scripts and production.

#1... they need to work on getting the F.F. correct, finally. Get them a solid 3-4 movies and get the proper CGI for the Thing.

Well, that’s because Spider-Man is still controlled by Sony, and the deal was that Marvel could use him in the MCU but he and the rest of the Spidey-verse was still owned by Sony so they can use Holland as much as they want, but not the other way around.


But I agree with your main point. I still 100% think the final Avengers movie of this generation ends with a X-men or F4 cameo. Don’t think we get it in Infinity War, though. Too quick of a turnaround and the deal isn’t actually officially done so they really can’t turn it that quickly. They’ll 100% be a part of the next phase though.

Yea I’m pretty sure I remember hearing a couple months back when the rumors came out, it could at least a year or more before this deal is actually finalized.
