Oh my god, it’s been a long time since I’ve been prouder to not know something.

Imagine tracking RazorFist’s career arc.

Even more amazing than that, he's likely more knowledgeable about Marvel and comics in general than all the posters in this thread combined.

Hope you've learned something here.

Not sure what firing the visual effects head honcho is going to do. The problem with phase 4 is that they were all formulaic and boring except for Love & Thunder which was just cringe worthy awful. Marvel is round hole square pegging characters to fit the Marvel formula instead of adapting the Marvel formula to the character and give its audience something a bit different.

Damn, this doesn't look good. More here than a he said she said thing.

Marvels gonna have to replace him with a different actor and it won't be hard to explain with the multiverse angle. He was a great actor, but it's pretty likely he's a woman beating piece of shit.

Welp. At least it happened while it's still relatively easy to just replace and forget.

It's not like anyone saw Ant Man anyways!

Majors says he is innocent and has the video to prove it.

So someone finally tapped the brakes a bit and got them back on the quality, not quantity path? Nice. Phase 4 was pretty rough.

This is an April Fools joke, the article is from 2014.

I was all excited for a second over them introducing Nightmare, lol. He's one hell of a heavy hitter on what could be described as their cosmic side.

Secret Invasion official trailer dropped.

I'm.....cautiously optimistic.

And could that Skrull that elongates his arm (ala Reed Richards!) be a Super Skrull?

I share your optimism and I hope it plays out as more of a spy thriller vs. cookie cutter MCU movie.

Here's a great video on the complete comic story of Secret Invasion if you're unfamiliar or just want to brush up on the story again. It's a mashup of a few vids in a series, so it can get a bit redundant. The movie is certainly not going to follow the comic to a "T", but I am interested in how they tell the story in the MCU without having access to a great deal of the characters they use in the original story....

That's going to crash and burn, isn't it?

Who is the woman holding Ronin's hammer?

Apparently in the comics there are women accusers. But yet, this isn't for me.

That looks ****ing awful.

I like Captain Marvel and the other older girl, but **** this Kamilla Khan shit. She drives me nuts.

That looks like a giant pile of shit.

The discourse surrounding this film when it bombs is going to be insane.

Can't wait.

Jonathan Majors rumored to be OUT of the MCU?!?

Well that looks terrible.

I really appreciate all the money marvel is saving me by making terrible movies.

It really does. Doesn't help the anticipation that this movie has been pushed back three times (I believe).

They should push if further back, or perhaps off a cliff.

Johnathon Majors getting dropped from his talent agency. Sounds like the curtain might be closing for him post assault arrest.

Welp, bring on Dr. Doom as the Big Bad for Secret Wars. That's the way it should be, anyway.

Yeah but they'll probably just recast Majors' role and move forward.

Is Dr. Doom owned by Sony? Because if Disney has access to Doom and hasn't even thought about bringing him in...then they're ****ing idiots.

Probably all of that. And as far as Sony goes at this point, they're likely holding their stable of Marvel characters hostage at this point, maybe trying to cut deals with each "name" character that resembles the Spider Man deal, imho. Especially Doom, who is essentially a Thanos-level baddie.

However, Doom was in a mid-credits scene in Black Panther 2 that ended up getting chopped at the 11th hour, supposedly. Insert "so you're telling me there's a chance" .jpeg here.

Gonna be honest. Thought that trailer was for the PS5 game since Kraven is one of the main villains in that game. A bit bizarre they're going with Kraven of all the villains to give a full fledged origin movie.

Oof, I'll pass.

That looks like a bloody and violent CW show.

I can only imagine they're doing it to set up a possible Sinister Six introduction down the road, especially with the spiders dropping on him and Rhino at the end. We'll see if it works.....

Still a bit disappointed that old rumor about the MCUs Norman Osborn being one of the overarching big bads of the new phase ended up being false. From what I remember he buys the old Avengers tower and effectively steals all the info and tech Tony Stark left behind while getting the same super serum Steve Rogers does and becomes incredibly strong.

Takes over SHIELD as well, iirc.

This is complete conjecture, but it would be a coup for the MCU if they could bring Henry Cavill in as Captain Britain -

https://www.sportskeeda.com/comics/h...kdsqE3f1s_TFZk

Most of the Disney+ series have been terrible mainly due to just amateur writing flubs.

Marvel has been putting out a lot of rehashed crap since stage 4 started. Pretty much telling the same story with a different costume.

I feel the problem with stage 4 is the same issue I have with the comics. They are putting the spectacle above the story.

Secret invasion would have been a perfect opportunity to tell an intense thriller around fury. Instead we have a skrull with all the powers of the avengers.

The Marvels Suffers Worst MCU Ticket Pre-Sales In 4+ Years

Captain Marvel 2 is set to perform significantly worse than its 2019 predecessor, as indicated by a recent report of poor pre-sale tickets.

The second Captain Marvel film in the MCU, titled The Marvels, isn't trending in the right direction. Recent box office tracking projections have been low for the upcoming film starring Brie Larson, Iman Vellani, and Teyonah Parris.

The Marvels is currently projected to earn between $50 million - $75 million domestically over its opening weekend after Captain Marvel opened to $153.4 million over four years ago, the 11th-best opening in MCU history.

Fast forward to 2023, and The Marvels hype is low among fans mere weeks ahead of its own debut weekend.

Girl power!

I wished it was that. They hired people that do not love the comics or the characters let alone lore. They keep putting out their own shifty ideas and spin instead of just recreating the story. Just remake the story and you make a billion plus.

Missed this completely when it was announced

We'll go see it, I don't let the naysayers and doomsday social media pundits keep me from a fun time at the movies. Thank god this stuff didn't exist back in the day when I was a kid, so many movies I went and saw, and had a fun time with, would've probably been eviscerated online due to social media mob mentality. No movie I've ever seen from Marvel wasn't at least somewhat enjoyable. Eternals, Thor 2, Thor L&T, Iron Man 2 or even 3 for that matter, this movie will either be one of those or be good, and the people who get their jollies off on costing movies money at the box office will say it's a victory again.

Meh. The previews look horrible. Hope you enjoy it though.

Thor L&T is by far the worst Marvel movie.

I hate Thor L&T with all my being. It was a complete waste of time and trashed the story arc/actors.

They just played the last trailer for The Marvels on MNF.

It would appear that they are bringing back Ronin the Accuser, but *wait for it* Ronin is from an alternate universe, and also *really wait for it* Ronin is a woman that looks super OP from the original Ronin in the original universe.

Valkyrie is indeed the Asgardian in the film, and there are heavy hints that Iron Man and Captain America will join the fun from whatever universe this grrlllboss Ronin is from.

This is either going to be amazing, or it's going to be complete dogshit. There will be no in-between.

I have yet to watch that one. Just never saw a reason to from all the trailers.

Avoid that movie as you would avoid an Ethiopian whorehouse.

Still makes me shake my head that Taika Waititi would follow up Ragnarok with that piece of shit. What a waste of a story, and what a waste of Christian Bale's talents.

Not sure if that trailer sways anyone regarding whether they will or won’t watch it.

Honestly I haven’t seen a MCU movie since Multiverse of Madness. Just looks like the quality has gone way down.
