I think it looks stupid. 0/10. Marvel obviously doesn't know what they're doing. He looks ridiculous with all of those belts. And don't even get me STARTED on that weak facial hair.

one thing I can agree with is the facial hair. cumberbatch apparently can't grow it

For the record I was mocking the common over reactions to these reveals, weak ass facial hair aside.
.

Eh, I think the facial hair looks fine. We can't all rock a goatee as well as RDJ.

I imagine more than 3/4 of that 67 will just be in the background of some gigantic fight scene. And that's if they all even make the final cut. Still this is gonna be pretty cool. Probably the biggest event in movie history as far as number of iconic characters on-screen goes.

Are there even 67 Marvel Characters...... especially if you eliminate the X-Men/X-Characters.......

Yeah, there are hundreds of characters. Most are nobodies that only the most hardcore of Marvel fanboys would recognize, but there are more than enough of them. Hell, if they end up including any Inhumans they can probably bump that number up even higher.

Actually, I guess, if you added all the characters from all the existing movie/tv shows and the supporting characters, you would probably already get close...

Yeah the only way to hit that number is counting all the majors, the supporting cast of each major's own movie series, all the TV/Netflix majors and supporting cast, and potentially whoever will be introduced in Infinity War itself.

Like LotR or X-Men DofP it's certain some characters will get the shaft and only a few will have big screen time. Still, this is sounding bigger than a comic book movie thing. We've never seen a multimedia shared universe converge like this.

I'm legit interested to see what the ramifications of this will be for the MCU. I mean if they're gonna hit that number I could see them adding characters that haven't even been seen in the movies yet. They've already sorta eluded to the fact that there may have been heroes before Iron Man in the MCU, and that other heroes may have been popping up while the Avengers were running around so we could possibly see that there's some serious history in the MCU.

Also like Kalyx said this is a massive deal. We've never seen something like this in cinema history. The Avengers was a huge deal that was completely unprecedented at the time, but this has the potential to blow it out of the water.

Kelsey Grammer as Beast was a good call... I'm just saying.

Benedict Wong joins Doctor Strange as........................Wong.

I guess Marco Polo season 2 must be just about done.

Nothing wong with that casting.

Anyone else dreading Civil War II?

Can I dread both part 2 and the upcoming movie?

I didn't even lime the first one.

Movie looks good, comic looks like dreck.

Meh. I don't read comics but at least it's not as dumb a set up as Civil War I was.

captain america is a werewolf again. but this time it's sam wilson.

this is like the 4th time in history they made cap into a werewolf for some goddamn reason.

Jesus.

So Cap's a flying werewolf. Interesting.

well, there's also a new falcon. a genetically modified illegal immigrant, javier something.

What's Steve Rogers up to these days?

prune juice

I heard he was young and Captain America again....

Or maybe that he is about to be, if it hasn't happened yet....

they only announced it, not yet

he's currently leading avengers unity squad, which is humans, mutants and inhumans

deadpool, rogue, some girl called synapse, there was also spiderman but he quit, now cable is with them and i forgot who else is in this

oh, right. quicksilver, too

Marvel comics is a fucking mess.

i might just give DC a try

but isn't it a mess now, too?

i know gordon was robot batman for some time, bruce wayne and joker are brainwashed and don't remember who they are or something?

just some bits I read about that

DC a mess ever since the reboot.... though Batman stuff seemed like it was still "safe" (by which I mean the reboot barely effected it at all).... though I haven't read any Batman stuff in a long time either because I just don't feel the whole universe anymore... And not having that "larger shared universe" to get into just takes me out of it....

Not all of Marvel is a mess. The new Xmen books are fantastic.

I'm so out-of-the-loop with Marvel right now. This is probably years old already, but is Spider-Man still living in that "Brand New Day" reality or whatever? Like... did things ever get retconned and he's married with MJ again, Aunt May died from her gunshot wound/survived and the world knows who he is?

Wikipedia use to be pretty good to at least get some basic stuff like that, but sometimes it's pretty vague or messy and I have no idea what I'm reading.

Far as I know, Spider-Man never went back to that old continuity. Not married to MJ. Aunt May still around, never shot. More people may know who he is now, but not the world at large.

Think I read that in the comics, Peter Parker is now a wealthy billionaire mogul with a large tech company or something.....

Damn.

I kinda hated Brand New Day to begin with. I came to accept the new continuity but always figured "whatever, they'll change it back in a year or two anyway".

Shit. Seems pretty legit then.

Maybe because I didn't read too much of the "married Peter Parker" days, but I quite liked the "Brand New Day" stuff.... Of course, I haven't read it in ages.... I think the last story I read was something about Kraven the Hunter and his family.... some big storyline....

Never even got to the whole Dr. Octopus is Spider-Man saga....

I kinda followed until Spider Island or whatever that was called. Still got a bit of catching up to do, but most of the stuff between Secret Invasion and Spider Island has some gaps in it, so I'm pretty confused about a lot of stuff.

Yeah, I was one of the few people who liked Brand New Day. I missed out on Spider-man's heyday. By the time I started reading it he already had a super model wife and a great job. Not exactly as relatable as earlier issues.

Same.... I liked that he was "down to Earth" again.... poor/single/struggling to find balance in his life.... etc....

Also enjoyed the return of thought bubbles and a focus on a supporting cast.... felt "different" from other modern comics....

The company that Otto started as Parker went international. The way it sounds He might have more cash on hand than Stark at the moment. Could be interesting to see how money changes him.
Meanwhile Stark has....
