Marvel's Movie/TV Universe v2 (SPOILERS)

[lonestar]

There have been published pics of Cap on the set of Avengers 4, if he bites it, it won't be in this film. Same goes for Stark and Banner.

[lordxizor]

I wouldn't be surprised if they waited until 4 to kill off any of the major characters.

[lonestar]

I'd think ending no.3 with a big death would be a brutal cliffhanger and a massive dick thing to do, which compels me to think that's exactly what they're gonna do.

When asked about major characters dying, Feige said this.....

People always will jump to that but that’s not necessarily what we’re talking about. I talk a lot, because I’m a big-ass nerd, about Star Trek: The Next Generation, ‘All Good Things.’ That to me is one of the best series finales ever. That wasn’t about death. Picard went and played poker with the crew, something he should have done a long time ago, right?

So I won't be going in waiting for anyone to die. I want any deaths to be impactful. If I have a long list of potential deaths, then the most I can experience is like "ah, there it is" when or if it happens. Seems like a lame way to be impacted.

That's you, and that's ok.  For me, I'm totally fine with speculating and not having it impact my viewing experience.

And here's another thing that Fiege said - in that same interview - about character deaths:

Yes. I mean, I could always list off the characters that we’ve killed in our movies that haven’t come back, but the big ones, which I know they’re looking at …? [Pause.] I would just say, yes. People need to be careful what they wish for.”

Yup, I know... alternate realities/timelines and flashbacks could esplain that.  Or, me just being flat out wrong.  There's that too.  It does happen from time to time - or according to mrs.jingle, all the time.   

[Adami]

Are you saying that other people might experience things differently than me?

Nonsense.

[jingle.boy]

Are you saying that other people might experience things differently than me?

Nonsense.

Well, at least Stadler.

But he's always wrong.

Can we give Turk his just due for being the real glue that holds the Netflix series' together?

I just noticed something about the new movie poster for Infinity War.   Hawk Eye is not in the group photo...and Jeremy Renner is not listed among the stars.   Wiki confirms that he is supposed to be in the movie.  I just think that’s pretty messed up considering he is one of the original Avengers...even if he is a sort of “also ran” he still should be in the poster if he’s in the movie.   I mean sheesh....the librarian from Dr Strange is in the poster...but Hawk Eye isn’t?   That’s just poor form.

[jingle.boy]

Wong is pretty important in the Dr. Strange world. His role as a "librarian" in the Dr. Strange movie was not an accurate portrayal of his role in the comics.

...but at the expense of Hawkeye?   An original Avenger?  Who *IS* in the film?

I admit I haven't seen every poster or piece of art, but has Ant-Man appeared in any of it either?

Very interesting read.

[Cyclopssss]

I read/see a  lot of people on the net who apearantly don't like the way season two of Jessica Jones ended. Shame, I liked it a lot. Kudo's for the writers for doing something other than the predictable. Overall I thought it was great, not as great as season one was, but pretty close.

[Grappler]

Thor Ragnarok was awesome.  I think I agree with Bosk that Ragnarok seemed to be an afterthought - it's supposed to be this big event, but was over in a matter of minutes.  Other than that, it was a lot of fun to watch.  Still haven't seen the last Spiderman, though I'll wait until I get a 99 cent rental again from Google Play.

Totally agree. I really loved season 2.

Yeah, I forgot to post my thoughts on season two as well.

I really loved that there wasn't a "villain" per se. Instead, we got themes of ambition, addiction, mental states (With great power comes great mental illness), family and loyalty. Each had pitfalls to be overcome by Jess and others. No one was truly evil but there did seem to be a lot of dark/questionable motivations. I loved how Malcom, Trish and Jeri all got worse as the season unfolded. Trish may be my favorite character to hate now. 

Anyway, loved season 2. Not as impactful or frightening as season 1, but it did managed to steer clear of a lot of comic cliches while still being very much a gritty comic story. Good on Netflix.

[faizoff]

Wasnt' really planning to but went ahead and bought IMAX 2D tickets to the opening screening on Thursday night at 7 pm. Still over a month to wait.

[lordxizor]

I just realized Infinity War opens the day after we go on vacation. I won't be able to see it for probably 3 weeks after it comes out. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid spoilers.

[bosk1]

Really cool article/interview linked below about Infinity War.  Before putting the link in, let me just say that, in a general sense, it is fairly spoilery.  But as far as specifics, it's not really spoilery at all.  Just depends on your tolerance.  Overall, it's a really cool read about the challenge of making a movie (or, more precisely, two movies) of such a huge scope, and the challenge of continuity with the ever-growing MCU.  There's also a lot in there about developing Thanos as a very deep and relatable character.  Again, it is couched in general terms and about the mechanics of it all and not in terms of specific plot points, so I think most people won't have a problem reading it.  But for those who want to keep away from anything other than a trailer or two, you might want to avoid it.

Finished Season 2 of JJ and I really really like it.    Made me want to go back and try and watch Daredevil again and see if I can't work my way up to the Defenders.   Still never seen that.   But I feel like I should try and finish Luke Cage and Iron Fist before I dive into Defenders.

New deadpool trailer. Hell yeah

[Cyclopssss]

J-dude, you're not missing much with the Defenders. It was a nice effort, but no more than that. Same with Iron Fist.

[soupytwist]

This isn't a Marvel vs DC post - well it kind off is I guess, but it's more for perspective.  It is likely Black Panthers US domestic total (currently 630m) will be higher than Justice Leagues Worldwide total (657m). 

[Adami]

So apparently Ronan and Korath from Guardians, as well as Coulson well appear in Captain Marvel.

Interesting.

Just when I thought they’d never include anyone from AOS in the movies anymore It’s not present day Coulson, but it’s better than nothing.

Also, apparently there was a Captain Marvel easter egg on Black Panther, becuause Everett Ross was an air force pilot, just like... Carol Danvers. So, we might see him too.

Yup, that'll be used in the kitchen.
