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

Marvel moving a little further forward with The Eternals:

It's not a real surprise that Marvel is in development for an Eternals movie considering the successes of Guardians of the Galaxy (which has introduced the Celestials), Thor: Ragnarok and of course Infinity War, starring Thanos, son of Alars. Captain Marvel (I imagine) will also be cosmic heavy. Not to mention that Kevin Feige stated that the future of the MCU lies in the cosmos. Additionally, probably a response to DC/WB announcing that Ava DuVernay will direct New Gods.

Personally, I was never really a fan of Marvel Cosmic, but the MCU has earned my trust and I'll most likely be seeing the Eternals opening weekend. I just wish the MCU proper didn't let the Inhumans fall to the TV side of things. Hopefully, the show did so bad that the MCU proper can reintroduce Inhumans without even acknowledging the existence of the TV version.

 

I still maintain a belief in the cohesive MCU so we've had the Inhumans unless there's a cosmic reset in Avengers 4, those are the royal family. But yah they'll probably be a cosmic reset in Avengers 4 anyway so they can take another crack at it.

 

Well said.

All I know about the Celestials in the comics are those giant robot looking creatures, and the only Eternal I know about is Eternity, so I could go either way with the MCU cosmic providing a character or two I dig are involved ((Strange, Thor etc.)

 

Ironically, Eternity isn't an Eternal. In shorthand, Eternity is the conscious embodiment of the universe. It was Eternity that Thanos essentially subplanted in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline once he had assembled the Gauntlet and corralled all of the higher cosmic entities.

The Eternals are really just space mutants, engineered by the Celestials.

 

Why every heir got to have their movie focused on struggle to take the throne against their blood relative?
Thor, Black Panther, and DC's Aquaman.

 

After Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet, what are the other high-powered beings and objects in the Marvel Universe?

I can think of

-Galactus (but too similar to MCU's Thanos to likely be used)
-Dormammu (kind of made a fool in Dr. Strange, could be back, but don't know about him being the new big threat)
-the Beyonder (not really a villain, could work)
-the Phoenix Force (not happening anytime soon, even with Disney buying FOX, since their likely last X-Men movie is about the same thing)
-Mephisto (though showing an outright Demon of Satan's forces might be too Christianity-focused for a MCU movie)
-Apocalypse (though also just used in X-Men)
-Doctor Doom

 

I really hope Galactus starts getting teased within the next few years. And maybe in another 10 years we’ll see the Avengers and X-Men team up to take him down!

Otherwise Doctor Doom definitely as the next main villain. Kang would make a good villain for Avengers 5.

 

Well I knew that NOT. Thank you for the assist.

 

THAT'S WHO HE REMINDED ME OFF!

To be fair, that whole scene was so cringy I didn't care to notice who the actors were. Imagine my surprise when I find out Sam Neill was slumming there as Odin.

So have you seen IW yet? Or are you still in steadfast refusal mode to do so? XD

 

Kang makes a lot of sense as the follow-up overarching "big bad" after Thanos.

 

Hehe, no problem.

A good video series for delving into the higher cosmic side of Marvel is on the Comics Explained YouTube channel, if you have a lot of time to kill:

There's also a little bit of Eternals discussed in his origins of Marvel mutants vid:

 

The only answer is DOOM. This is Marvel's last chance to do justice to their alpha-predator supervillain.

 

Ultron take massive upgrade and come back.

Honestly I think Marvel's villains are as good as DC's.

 

I actually wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Kumail Nanjiani ended up getting a crack at the screenplay/script for MM when they decide to move forward with it. He co-wrote The Big Sick so he can juggle both the emotional and the comedic within the same story.

 

That's racist. Pigeonholing a Muslim into writing a Muslim superhero. Only a white male can truly plumb the depths of a female, Muslim, teenaged superhero...

 

it could be good, but it should probably be pointed out that people have a real problem with the way nanjiani writes south asian women.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/...and-its-also-stereotypical-toward-brown-women

 

Is this "people" or "a South Asian woman disappointed in his likely experience with South Asian women?" We see things like this all the time about Jew on Jew, Black on Black, etc. don't we?

 

it's not just one person if that's what you're asking. if you read the replies to the first tweet that bilbo fett posted you'll see that. there are more articles out there with similar takes as well. a lot of people seem to feel his portrayal of asian women fits a very old and pervasive negative media stereotype. and yeah some people fit stereotypes and that can be part of someone's experience, but i think people were just hoping for more balanced representation.
