Marvel Cinematic Universe thread v3 (no recent spoilers)

[bosk1]

Honestly, I don't think there will be a "Big Bad" a la Thanos to work toward in Phase 4.  Because, at this point, they can't realistically top Infinity War/Endgame, and Feige knows that.

Hence, more concepts to adapt to, rather than hostile personalities.  The multiverse, extradimensional beings, etc.

Then, maybe in Phase 5, bring on Galactus.

Then have the next host of Celestials visit for judgement several years from now.  That would definitely require an Endgame-style assemblage of powers to repel.

I don't know.  Something like that.  Meanwhile, smaller-scale heroes introduced, such as Moon Knight and She-Hulk.

Yeah.  It took 10 years and 3 entire "phases" to get us to the fight with Thanos.  It looks like things are moving toward another big climax at some point with Kang.  And there definitely are other huge threats they could bring it.  But I suspect that, kind of like what you hinted at, they will take their time.  There may even be buildups to different threats at the same time.  Maybe it'll all be great.  Maybe it'll all flop.  Maybe it'll be a mixed bag.  Who knows?

But the surviving Avengers can drop in and say hi ?

  I guess.  Not sure what this means or why it matters.

I'm shocked.

Who knows?

[Kotowboy]

Who's the next big bad ?

Dunno yet.  Why does it matter?

How do you go bigger and badder than Thanos ?

Dunno yet.  Why does it matter?

Lets just ignore the fact its a thread ABOUT the MCU and if every question was answered with WHO KNOWS AND WHY DOES IT MATTER ?!?!?!

The thread would be 1 page long.

Secondly If I talked to other DTF members like this i'd get a warning.

But Kotow is right .

Is this a Fleetwood Mac thread?

[Stadler]

This thread has shattered my illusions of love.  If only I knew how to pick up the pieces and go home. 

[hefdaddy42]

Or don't.  I don't think it even matters.

It does to the Gold Dust Woman (the Mac song I was quoting).   I'm not getting involved in any of the second hand news here; I'm going to go my own way.

Don't stop the chain of Fleetwood Mac puns, I'm hypnotized by them.

I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain.

New trailer for No Way Home 

The Sony Brasil edit of the trailer has a spoiler-y mistake in that it showed a bit too much of the villains-charging scene. If you look it up on Twitter, you'll know what I mean.

I looked it up on Twitter, but I don't see anything of what they are claiming it's "there".

EDIT: I SEE IT NOW!!! MAN!!!!

I've started a NWH thread just so we can keep possible spoilers and leak talk out of this thread from here on out.

-Marc.

[jingle.boy]

One of the villains clearly takes a punch to the face from nothing.  If I say much more, it'll get into spoiler territory if you (royal) haven't been following or heard of some of the leaks.  I'm not sure it's a big spoiler, as I have to assume everyone knows it.

For a minute there, I was wondering what the heck Toni Basil was doing editing trailers.  I need more coffee this morning.

I posted this in the Eternals thread, but then later decided that it was more suited for discussion here in the general MCU thread, so here’s a copy paste…

I keep hearing buzz about phase 4 being a downturn so far, and I feel like it’s grossly premature to say that.

I hardly count BW since it technically takes place in the phase 3 timeline. Shang-Chi (as I stated in that thread) is an incredible film that easily enters the top half (maybe top 6?) of the movies, and definitely improves with a 2nd viewing. And The Eternals isn’t going over that well, but most agree that it at least trying to be different. And most of the shows have been pretty successful with generally very positive feedback.

That’s really just 2 films...one excellent, one not so much. And 4 TV shows, with What If being the only one with fairly meh feedback.

So I’m not seeing this supposed drop in quality that some sites are buzzing on.

Even before Endgame, we had a share of movies that got very “meh” feedback. Black Panther and Captain Marvel leap immediately to mind. So I think the MCU is just moving forward with the pattern of keeping up a good over arching story, with some parts being wonderful and others just being averagely entertaining.

[lonestar]

Yeah, what, if any, the movies lack, the tv shows more than make up for. All three have been quality, and two fall in the outstanding area (WV and Loki). I totally agree on Shang Chi, and have a slightly higher opinion of Eternals, though do agree with some of the criticisms.

Can you bring up a good point that F&WS Was probably slightly less well received than the first two. Even though I personally only saw social issues and not political angles to the storyline, I’m not sure everyone else saw it that way. And sadly, I think political leanings tend to taint peoples opinion of the series. I don’t wanna get too deep into that idea outside of the P/R forum, but even removing all that muck, I thought Stan and Anthony had good chemistry and made a decent “buddy cop” show. Any faults in the story I personally chalk up to the much reported delays of the COVID outbreak, and the entire series being truncated because of that.
