I wanna see a Punisher series similar to Daredevil.

Not interested in Tom Hardy to be honest though. Thought Ray Stevenson was great in War Zone, but he's probably a bit too old now, and he's already featured in the MCU anyway.

He'd probably have to fight Thomas Jane for the part, he still wants to play the character again last I heard.

They won't bring back guys to play the same part, even if they did well, to avoid any questions about the MCU. Otherwise they could have kicked off with characters one or two movies in to save time.

whoops, wrong thread

Fox is totally doing New Mutants, spun off from the X-Men. Like the comics it will focus on teenage mutants, which means I may finally get X23 on screen. Some guy's directing it. Woohoo

Meh, not a fan of X-23. I'm all for a New Mutants movie, though....

Secret Wars sucks so fucking much so far. I know people hated the last few crossovers, but I more or less enjoyed all of them (even Fear Itself had it's moments). This one looks terrible.

All the prologue books were confusing as fuck, the main series 2 issues in is just stupid. Fuck that shit.

And it just keeps getting worse.

If I just landed the role of Peter Parker for the MCU I'd do backflips, too.

If the credits for Ant-Man on imdb are right the mid or post credits scene will include

And it shall be called, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2"

Embrace the horror, guys, he's not been doing too well and we're probably gonna get some devastating news in the near future.

I'm rereading The Ultimates where Captain America becomes president. This thing is fucking hilarious, he is such a lunatic.

so confused...why is Peter Parker Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne now...why are they re-booting Spider-Man, seems mad dumb to do.

Wolverine is dead, X-23 is his clone. She's been around for quite a while now. She just picks up his outfit now.

I hate what Marvel's trying to do, that whole Secret Wars crossover is just absolutely terrible. It's confusing as shit and fuck all those rebooted titles.

I haven't heard about the Spiderman one, though.

And to answer your initial question they are pretty much rebooting everything now. Universes collided, blah blah blah, you got 50000 different version of the same characters in there now, Thor is not a single person but a Police Force, Hulks are a race, blah blah blah. They are all fighting for who knows what and when it ends we're stuck with all those new, rebooted pieces of shit.

It also looks like Daredevil's gonna be a gimp now.

All the new covers

http://imgur.com/a/FOJ0Y

lol Some of this is comical. A caricature of comic book's 'NEW STATUS' reboot culture.

I've always been a Marvel fan, but this is ridiculous. All my favourites are gone, some of those ideas are just retarded. I realize they want to touch many subjects and stuff but to turn Iceman gay after 5 decades (it's not like there are no gay superheroes) or to have a pregnant superhero, who last I remember was like 15 in the comic books? Fucking Marvel Teen Mom.

Spider-Woman is not 15.

Oh. I was thinking of Ms. Marvel. Nevermind.

Still, I hate this reboot with a passion.

I just took issue with FemThor and the new Avengers line-up. Everything else is whatever.

What happened to the Male Thor...is he dead?

Nah, he's now unworthy after Nick Fury whispered something to his ear at the end of Original Sin. He lost his arm and goes by Odinson now.

Then again he died when the universes collided so who the fuck knows really. Most people died, yet they'll be here after Secret Wars.

Dunno, you go and give Secret Wars a try, maybe you'll understand more than I did, my brain hurts from reading it.

The second Captain Confedarcy was a black woman pregnant with the first Captain Confedarcys baby. Only ran upon that looking for female characters that might be converted to males.

Confedarcy? :cool:

Lol Confederacy my bad.

Steve Rogers old af now

http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/...gqw0aao_8t.jpg

Who is Venom these days.... still Flash Thompson? Seems he is going to be a space ranger now....

Are the X-Men from the past still there... seeing Beast as more of a human dude on one of these covers...

He's looked like this for almost a year now.

Don't know who 3/6 of the people on the New Avengers cover are...

There's like a million different X-Men now during the Secret Wars, all universes. Who the fuck knows who's gonna be left when it's done.

I see there is also a female Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy.... female versions for everyone!

Is "Spider-Gwen"'s superhero name really "Spider-Gwen"? Seems like the worst codename ever.... especially if you want to keep your identity a secret....

My brain hurts just from thinking about this.

Secret Wars: Reality destroyed ... at the end Doom was able to take power save what he could. So Doom is "GoD" with Dr Strange who turned down the chance is Dooms second in command. One life raft just was recovered after being buried for 8 years containing the Cabal while Strange had a raft with a few heros in status

Yes. Now read the tie-ins too. This crossover sucks balls, period.

Everything sucks balls now with Dc an Marvel. They have spent so much time giving in to everything that the line is a shambles and their readers have so whort of an attention span that they couldn't manage long subplots if they tried. Star Wars is the best Marvel has right now and I ma sure they will screw that up once it is time to shuffle creators again.
Currently spending my money looking for trades on 60 and 70's collections instead.

WTH...? If Marvel wanted to fuck everything up and go back to the beginning why didn't they just do a full on reboot like the New 52? This shit is getting way too complicated for someone who just started reading comics a little over a year ago. Almost makes me want to quit reading and go back to just the movies and animation.

Although more Old Man Logan does sound kinda cool I guess...

They tried a full reboot with the Ultimate universe and it didn't quite work imo. Neither compny needs a reboot they just need to losen up on continuity a little, stop killing everyone or turning them into villans and go back to what made them money in the 80's. The problem is that the readers now are pretty similar to the gaming crowd and have no patience to see anything develope.

Spider-Gwen is Spider-Woman in-universe but the fans love to say Spider-Gwen.

Ultimate Marvel was good and it was a success for them. But it went downhill, they killed off too many important heroes and it started to suck ass.

I think it was the 90's mentality that got to it but the end result is that it spread to the 616 line and its been nothing but shock and blah since. They need to srop the constant crossovers and readers have to stop beign so picky about continuity and let the editors handle it or not and just deal with it. I could care less about about a female Thor, although the story being told is good or a female Wolverine as long as we get one in a Avengers type movie, as long as the story being told over X+ chapters is just in those titles. Like it used to be waaay back when. Make a crossover special rather then boring and predictable.
Bring back an Anthology type title like Marvel Fanfare or Bizarre Adventures for the stories to be told out of continuity rather than change the continuity itself.

This is why I don't read comics.

It's seems impossible to follow anything for any length of time without having to get involved with tie-ins and spin-offs. Probably makes enjoying the movies easier too as I'm not concerned about them being too faithful to the source material.

That is why my current reading list is:
Star Wars
Star Trek
Star trek Visions (Photonovel style comics of 60's show w/ new adventures)
Six Million Dollar man

Why are they just turning people female now?

FemThor is one thing. There is a story behind that, and a good one at that. Even then it was a woman gaining the power of thor, not Thor being a woman now.

This shit is just ridiculous. Marvel Now was a perfctly fine jumping on point for new readers. Stuff like this just makes everything even more confusing.

I dunno. I was skeptical about FemThor and that's been good so far. Guess I'll read Secret Wars and give this a shot.

To be fair the female Wolverine is probably X-23 who is an established character so it's not like they just made Wolverine a chick. However, I kinda feel like making X-23 Wolverine takes away from her rather than builds her up. I mean it makes it seem like she couldn't be important on her own and needed his name to be considered a "real" hero. Would have preferred they just did an X-23 book instead. If they wanted her to fill the boots of Wolverine fine I'm all for that, but she didn't need his name and costume to do that.

Agree. She was better as her own character and being the first X-23 rather than the next wolverine.

She was written so good in X-force.

What is the deal with the female Star-Lord on the cover of Guardians of the Galaxy? Is that supposed to be "someone we know"?

Also confusing because there is a separate Star-Lord comic book that seems to have the male one.

This is so fucking stupid, Marvel.

Got no clue. Seems that Rocket is the leader of the Guardians now though so Fem Star-Lord seems like a waste of space. Honestly I don't see why they felt the need to split Star-Lord from the team anyway.

<iframe width="636" height="353" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s5BFY8vFThQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Could the female Starlord be a Blonde Kitty Pryde or better yet... Sue Richards in search of her children?

You know the Sue Richards idea might be possible. Seems like the Fantastic Four is totally split up from those covers so I wouldn't be surprised.

......THAT'S THE THING!?

FUCK THIS MOVIE!

He looks like a big guy made of rocks.


Soooooooooooo

It's Clobbering Time?

It's just Thing not the Thing.

Ava DuVernay will not be doing Black Panther anymore (though really she never signed). Says they didn't see eye to eye, which is almost surely based on whatever social justice undertones I was afraid she was gonna attempt.

I want Marvel to expand their search past black directors. Same with Captain Marvel and female directors. They wanna make this hoopla for press but this is the fourth director who walked from the MCU. Most were different reasons but they can avoid a lot of grief by laying down the ground rules, especially since Joss is gone and they have no 'showrunner' outside of Feige.

With the Black Panther don't those undertones have to exist for the modern character to be relevant?

Yes and no. There are degrees, and I'm pretty sure she wanted to go full blast. That would have compromised the requisite tone of 'The MCU Movie'. Winter Soldier's political thriller and Guardians' space opera are examples of stretching the formula, but they feel like MCU movies. She was not a good choice. Her interview with Essence give hints of the tonal rift. I don't think she'd have time to showcase elements of the larger universe when she probably wanted to use the movie to make some kind of social point.

I was just talking to Khuntry about the fallout and off the top of my head I named a few directors who could merge Black Panther's cultural themes with the action-comedy, mythology of the MCU. Andy Serkis (already in the movie as the villain) and Neill Blomkamp (perfect choice, imo) were some of the top picks for me. As well as John Singleton and, not even kidding, Tyler Perry. These guys could channel Black Panther's unique themes as well as play ball with MCU's guidelines.

I don't read the comics anymore, but have they revealed who FemThor is?

The Vanity fair reporter from IM1-2 really moved up in the world since her 'spread' for Tony Stark.

Marisa Tomei Joins The Cast Of Marvel's SPIDER-MAN As 'Aunt May'


This is really odd.

I'm too used to Aunt May being an old woman. Suppose it makes sense given the age with Peter that they're aiming for.

When he started being Spiderman in the comics, Aunt May was already old and grey-haired.

Don't think this is the right choice but we will see.

She's way too young to be Aunt May, but the MCU has yet to disappoint me so I'm gonna go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Probably shooting for a more Unlimitied vibe.

So long as she constantly tells Parker not to forget the damn milk. Damn kid.

<iframe width="854" height="510" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dz3CmtoQ9oY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Why was Aunt May really old anyway? Peter Parker was a teen. His parents at that time would have been in their 40s. So his aunt and uncles could have been at their very oldest in their 50s or possibly just barely 60. Still far from being an old doddery grandma.

60's storytelling and the need for Peter to be raised with Old school sensibilities I would imagine plus taking care of his frail old Aunt May gave Peter something more to worry about than just school, kept him grounded.

Leaked footage of Apocalypse:

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansit...news/?a=122741

Not crazy about the look.

Hard to tell from the video, but looks way too small for Apocalypse.

Yeah. Also the face looks like a regular human face. But blue.

Seems plausible. Apocalypse can alter his size and shape-shift and stuff. Clip barely reveals anything.

Gambit movie is cool though. Didn't realize he was getting a solo outing. I'm excited for that.

Was thinking about Chaning Tatum as Gambit the other day, and thought that's a pretty solid casting job.

I think he's a little too buff, but overall good.

He'd look retarded in this kinda headpiece cause of his protruding ears

http://media.ignimgs.com/media/ign/i.../65_Gambit.jpg

Good thing they're not doing the headpiece.

Oh? Did they officially say that or something?

I don't think I've heard any kind of details about Gambit yet.

A conclusion based on no other character with that headpiece having it in a movie. It's not 'signature' to Remy or anything. The guarantees are the staff, cards, and coat. Bodysuit is wait and see. But certainly no weird headpiece. Even the comics are wavy on it nowadays.

Fair enough.

Gambit getting a solo movie is definitely a surprise. I never would have guessed we'd get one truthfully. Especially with how horribly they used him in the Wolverine Origins movie. Is Chaning Tatum confirmed to be playing him?

Yup. Confirmed.

Huh, wouldn't have been my first pick... Still I guess he might be able to pull it off. I take it we won't be seeing his trademark Cajun accent though. At least I hope not because I don't think Tatum could pull that off lol. :lol:

Actually Channing said he's working with somebody to nail the accent. Result quality may vary.

Oh good lord... Please let the person he's working with be a miracle worker then lol.

Just read that there's going to be a female version of Blade now too..... Marvel really overdoing it.....

You mean his new daughter, Fallon? She's fuckin awesome.

I just wonder when all the changes to their universe(s) will blow up in their faces and they'll go back to the way things used to be.

Also, I don't think I've ever heard of Blade's daughter.

Leaked Apocalypse trailer. Shitty quality and you can only see half the screen most of the time.

<iframe src="https://vid.me/e/qHw2?stats=1&amp;tools=1" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen scrolling="no"></iframe>

She's new. She's gonna tag along with old Blade for a bit with the intention being her starring in her own series. I love her design and Blade himself will get some action.

I really like Blade, you see.
