Im not complaining per se. I just wouldve preferred a new Logan. Im sure I'll love the film as long as disney doesnt take a pass at the script

drave 09-28-2022 09:49 AM

Nah, what you said is legit. It's just me complaining about the MCU when they introduce time manipulation. Turns into "Who's Line" where nothing matters and everyone gets to jerk off to their favorite super hero coming back.


By the way, Thanos' plan was dumb anyway. Big purple fucking idiot.

Destor 09-28-2022 10:08 AM

I dont mind time travel/alt version/whatever. Its comics. Ya know? As long as its handled well im fine with it... now take Fox's X-Men timeline... oof

Lock Jaw 09-28-2022 10:59 AM

I have my doubts that Jackman will be Wolverine in the MCU, and that it won't just be multiverse shenanigans that allow him to appear one more time.

Though I agree, Logan was the perfect end to playing the character. Shame to mess that up. But when Disney walks up with a wheelbarrow full of money to your door I get it...

Destor 09-28-2022 02:54 PM

Oh im certain that this is a multiverse plot

Destor 09-28-2022 02:54 PM

Im just eager to start the new x-men push

Fignuts 09-28-2022 05:19 PM

On one hand, I agree with Destor that I'm ready for them to move on to the mcu version of wolverine. On the other hand a team up with a new wolverine wouldn't be any where near as entertaining, given the history.

I'm in the camp of leaving poor Hugh Jackman alone, just like how I didn't care for Patrick Stewart showing up in Multiverse of Madness. Logan was a great way to send off the character. I actually don't know if I want to see this film now.

Lock Jaw 09-30-2022 12:40 AM

Armor Wars is now going to be a feature film instead of a Disney+ series. Glad that they could pivot like that and instead of trying to stretch out a series just accepting that the story they have was better in a movie....

Aside from wanting Titanium Man for Armor Wars, they'd also better show what happened in that story Rhodey kept telling everyone in Age of Ultron.

I imagine we'll see Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, and Firepower. Maybe some shield mansroids too.

But, yeah, Werewolf by Night was a lot of fun. It's very stylish and doing it in the way they did is such a call back to old school cinema. It's got the vibe of "The Post-Modern Prometheus" of The X-Files. It was nice to see Harriet Harris as I always thought the roles she did in the nineties were great, like in Frasier. Werewolf by Night himself could've been a bit scarier or more monstrous but I suppose they were trying to pay homage to the Wolfman of old. I'd be down for more one-shots like this.

SPOILER: show
Plus, what a way to incorporate Man-Thing!!!

It warms my heart that The Spectacular Spider-Man got added to Disney+. I wasn't expecting it to get on, what with all the legal hoopla surrounding it. It kills me that we never got a third season and instead got tossed nonsense like Ultimate Spider-Man and the 2017 series.

Kalyx triaD 10-29-2022 07:34 PM

Some pretty wild rumors about Secret Wars and the 'point' of the multiverse saga but the rumor mill went WAY downhill since I used to share stuff here. For Likes and Shares people just blert all kinds of fan theories and actor interviews taken out of context as news. Even the sources I trusted for over a decade went to shit.

Anyway, lil bit rumor lil bit analysis:

SPOILER: show
Kang deploys his own evil Avengers in the form of Steve Rogers (Secret Empire variant), Tony Stark, and Natasha Romanov (if she took over Drakov's operation). This idea not only resurrects fan faves, but mixes nicely with One Who Remain's philosophy about how worse things could get with timeliness diverging out of control. Does sound like wishful thinking, but sound attraction for a big finale.

Peter 2 and Peter 3 returns. While Tobey's return is actually substantiated by his interest in returning to the role, Andrew's involvement is whispered to follow an Amazing 3 movie. Of course this is tied up with Sony's silliness but if the latter is true then that makes for weight toward another tidbit - Emma Stone as Gwen variant Spider-Gwen.

There's this messy mixed messages about which Secret Wars will have more influence, but it seems entirely predicated on the OG story giving Peter 1 his black suit. And people really want this to happen and that's kinda skewing the good dirtsheets from wishlists. Given all this multiverse stuff it's very likely the modern Secret Wars with battle world and all that. But yeah, Tom may get his edgy moment.

The multiverse will end with a new One Who Remains (a Kang variant again) and a new Sacred Timeline. And those Mutants? Well the reason, and this is all my speculation, for Kevin waiting so long to pull the trigger is because they are probably going to put the MCU on their back. Like the Avengers who's heroes drove the bulk of MCU's events it'll be the X-Men driving the MCU - with an X-Men film being the big finales of a phase. They pretty much burned thru half a century of 616 canon with the Avengers and the X-Men have another half century more of plots for another decade of MCU.

But who knows.

OK, the Guardians Christmas special, while completely unnecessary and ridiculous, is pretty funny, if a little awkward. There's a lot you're expected to buy but once you know what it's going to be about, you realize there's potential for a ton of comedy. I also appreciate them doing something different with Groot with every outing. It's nowhere near a masterpiece but what else am I going to watch? A Christmas Story for the 564th time?

Yeah man, he fucking brought that role to life. He did very, VERY well and I don't feel like there's been a more accurate on-screen depiction of The Punisher.

The two strongest IPs Marvel has is Spider-Man and the X-Men. Spider-Man is obviously controlled by Sony. Disney spent 71.3 billion to aquire the X-Men. Anyone who who suggest rebranding their strongest controlled IP should not be making any decisions especially given Disneys sizable financial woes.


More shakeups to come for Marvel and Lucasfilm though. With a bit a of luck people who like the source material will be hired. That would be a boon.

To be fair, it's not like Marvel themselves weren't aware of the "issue", such as it is.

https://i.imgur.com/vvHfHEb.png

If nothing else, it's funny when they reference it for a bit of meta-humor. Deadpool's speech to his team in his second movie also brings it up. There are always people who aren't going to "get it" so you might as well have fun with it, I suppose. Of course, they could've avoided the whole "problem" by just going with "The Mutants" from the get-go.

Destor 03-23-2023 11:08 PM

Conflating a passing reference or joke with a legitimate desire to rebrand is as outlandish as claiming having men in the title is an point of criticism to begin with

Well, no, they're not the same and I didn't mean to conflate the two. I'm sorry if it came across like that. I'm just pointing out how her take on the matter isn't a new one and if it had any merit, it'd have caused a change a long time ago. Did she really want to completely undo the IP and take steps towards that goal?

It's still scheduled for the fall of this year, with one of the people behind it saying they'll let us all know the minute something changes. You'd think at this point there'd be some sort of teaser outside of a few still images.

If I can address the issue you brought up about the writers, you can make a distinction between someone not liking X-Men at all and liking X-Men but not appreciating a certain creative direction they're taking. If it's the former, no matter the franchise, I've never understood having that mindset, but wanting to work on a project relating to it.

Destor 03-25-2023 01:20 AM

Well obviously its work so theyre after a pay check. In their eyes they can "fix it." My take i these IPs have lasted over half a century because they resonate. If you dont like the source material so be it but ultimately your job is to adapt it.

The path to success then would be to understand what about it has worked instead of trying mold it into what you wish it was. And if you cant then make a derivative that meets those needs. If you're right it will outperform the original concept and it will die a deserving death.

Destor 03-25-2023 01:21 AM
