Amph "You think you're the only superhero in the world?" - The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Yeah I'm old. Plus, my kids are both athletes and popular in school, so they don't have much of a need for comic book superheroes or video games, and aren't into the movies, so I just don't have an in. But I was really intrigued by Captain Marvel.

 

You'd probably like the newer comic, all things considered: a teenaged Muslim-American girl takes over the mantle as Ms. Marvel.

 

That I would like. Is she slightly overweight with small breasts mostly hidden under baggy clothing? I think that would be a good thing for comic books too.

 

I think I saw the BP Easter egg in the Age of Ultron trailer that Kevin Feige was talking about. Right before the scene with Andy Serkis's character, you can see a bunch of tankers, and there seems to be a massive oil spill. That's the BP he was talking about, right?

 

Nope on the overweight part. She's a fairly normal looking teenage girl and...hey dude, Google her up!

 

so wikipedia says that captain marvel and Ms Marvel are not the same person. Does that mean that Ms Marvel gets her own movie too, or is she the one replacing Captain America, because replacing captain America with a Muslim American teenage girl seems like a step too far even for the marketing savvy of Disney

 

I know but the thing is the "Skye / her dad / alien writing it's all really inhumans we haven't said it yet" plot seems to be ramping up on AoS to near critical mass, probably before the end of the first half of the season, are they gonna suddenly backburn it and hope the show stays on the air long enough until "Inhumans" comes out to pay it off or will they go their own way and the Inhumans movie will steamroll it and we'll get a recton MCU comic book? Or will it all actually synch up? Gasp! Hopefully!

 

I'm going with Skye being Mantis, Quake, or Spider-woman. About 50% sure she's one of those three. 50% sure she's someone completely new.

Inhumans might tie into it... but they don't have too. If anything it just lays the foundation that aliens have experimented on humans already.

 

You make me feel young, dude. Thank you.

That said, these movies are not coming out anytime soon and nobody knows jack **** about the plots. We can infer some things based on recent events in the comics. Captain America is not being replaced by a woman. If anything, they'll probably follow the Winter Soldier storyline and the fallout of Civil War will have Steve Rogers being replaced by Bucky (aka the dude with the metal arm that have Cap 2 its subtitle).

 

Pretty sure she won't be Spider-Woman, as I would imagine the character name is tied up with Sony's Spider-man rights.

 

I agree and it's pretty dumb to me about the rights because Spider-Woman/Jessica Drew has nothing to do with Spider-Man besides the Spider in her name (although Marvel is including her as part of the Spider-Verse event which is interesting). I think Skye could be an inhuman.

 

Marvel owns the rights to Spider-Woman(Jessica Drew) they can use her in the MCU any time they want.

 

For like the billionth time...Sony does not own the rights to Spider-Woman. She is completely unrelated to Spider-Man.

 

Well I've always figured Marvel had the rights to the character, but wasn't sure about the "Spider" part...like you can Jessica Drew but call her superhero name something else? Kinda like how Marvel has the rights to Miles Morales (I think?) but couldn't call him Spider-Man.

 

A teaser for Infinity War

that was in a video like 5 pages ago

 

You're in a video like five pages ago!

 

Well, they might wrap up Skye's father before the season ends, but they'll have the build-up and then tie-in to "Age Of Ultron" to fall back on just like they did with "The Winter Soldier".

 

The web gets more and more tangled:

Casting Notice Confirms Agent Carter’s Involvement in ‘Ant-Man’

 

Like a shared universe is supposed to be.

 

I wasn't complaining!

 

I think this was either known, or highly suspected, given that supposedly we're also going to see Carter, Stark and Pym in the same room as a part of the early SHIELD days...

 

Yeah, it was the same report that first mentioned a human Edwin Jarvis.
