S1 was solid. Didnt watch s2

Didn't watch any

Didn't see S2 of Runaways either because my DVR didn't record it...

I dropped hulu so i missed both...

Scorcese doubling back and trying to save face by the looks of it.

There's nothing to 'save', he's allowed to have an opinion. Especially him.

I didn't say he wasn't allowed to have an opinion.

Apparently he's allowed to have two completely contradictory opinions about the same thing. One to be a prick, one to say sorry after when people get mad.
Nobody should ever be allowed to get away with that, even if they directed a few good films.

Who gives a shit what he likes dislikes or says. Its totally meaningless.

No. People aren't allowed to dislike things that I like

It's good to talk.

Word

White people saying "Word" was big in the 90's, I think we can all agree on that.

There was this one guy in my neighbourhood that would do that. But it's not a thing in Poland so everyone was like WTF?

Him saying "słowo" all the time.

Disney announced they're bringing WandaVision to Disney+ this year instead of 2021.

No exact date pinned down yet.

Nice

Scott Derrickson drops out as director of Doctor Strange 2 due to "creative differences". But, he's still hanging around as an executive producer.

Well, that's not good. Did a hell of a job with the first movie.

Everyone was worried about antman and its creative differences with directors and its a gem

Dr. Strange one of the Marvel films I have only ever seen once.... I enjoyed it and it wasn't bad or anything.... just never really felt the urge to watch it again

That's a bit different. Scott's already played ball with the MCU standard whereas Wright didn't see a meta-franchise coming that would force changes. If Scott dropped out, that's pretty unique for the MCU.

if I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with Feige's recent comments that it's not going to be as horror as initially promised (which I knew was a long shot anyway).

Its the same in the sense tha new directors have come in and its not impacted the final product in a negative way.. at all. Marvel needs to strike out before we treat them like a fimbling dufus.

One of the greatest panel/memes I ever seen.

Yeah that is pretty special.
Giggled like an idiot reading that.

I felt the same way initially but after two additional viewings I have to admit it is a lot better than I first thought.

So far the only one I can't bring myself to watch again is Captain Marvel.

I think in addition to Dr. Strange, I haven't watched Black Panther, Ant Man & The Wasp, Captain Marvel, and Thor: Ragnarok again.

I actually really liked Ragnarok and think it was one of the better ones and keep meaning to watch it again..... the rest are enjoyable, just haven't watched them again and don't feel an urge to....

Ive never rewatched any marvel film

Most of them just aren't that memorable and don't really have the need to..... I'll still go out to see the new "episodes", but don't feel the need anymore to rewatch previous episodes.....

I'm lowkey terrified of an MCU without Iron Man and Captain America. Spider-Man could hold the universe on his back provided they expand his corner of the universe past being Iron Boy (which they can't do forever), but even he can't do it alone. Captain Marvel is absolutely not going to inherent the pillar Stark or Cap had with zero charisma, and she's not even necessary for expanding the cosmic sandbox with the Guardians out and about. Shang Chi will probably be bitter sweet in a "should have been an Iron Fist movie" kind of way, and Eternals can go either way since Marvel Studios does have a star maker record with little known characters.

The big test is an Avengers movie without Cap or Stark. Their dual leadership was critical and I fear they're gonna emulate that dynamic with Cpt Marvel and Panther - except not in a million years will they allow their biggest female and black characters have 'beef'.

I dunno. It's just bothered me. I used to be HYPE thinking of the next phase but I'm full of doubt here.

I think thats most of us. Its unproven waters and the general wokeness of the top brands they have left is off putting to many. Spider-Man will in the future revert back to Sony full time (a reality that many havent considered for whatever reason [2023 or so is roughly when this extension will be up]) at which point they are going to need some traction with other characters.


That will need to be the X-men

Sequel to Venom (which I still haven't watched) is now very subtlety called "Venom: Let There Be Carnage"

I have half a mind to skip this movie on the count they didn't use the obvious title, "Maximum Carnage".

Marvel grabs the licences for Alien & Predator.

So, a new line of comics is incoming.

That makes xenomorph a disney princess

Xenomorph's been a Disney Princess since the Fox acquisition.

Same person who leaked a bunch of other correct predictions, including the she hulk show, and taskmaster, has said that Disney and marvel have come to a decision on the future of black panther.

They’re going to continue with Black Panther 2, and Shurri will take over the mantle.
