June 24th I forgot both Coogler and Han Solo were involved in this, even though the former should have been pretty obvious. It's looking good, though. Probably the last of the true "Marvel Studios" TV projects (in that it's likely a long film vs designed to be episodic). Will be curious to see how they play with the timeline placement since she still has to be in school after Wakanda (and the show has obviously been sitting on the shelf for a couple years now ever since Marvel decided to slow down their release schedule).
Like most big Disney Plus releases, I'll watching, just don't have enough to be excited about yet. For me, the most interesting part of that trailer is the guy with the cape.
The trailer looks well produced, but I have very little interest in the character(s) and I don't know what will spark that interest. Maybe I need to rewatch "Wakanda Forever". I'll check out the series with the hope that the series makes me care about the characters. It would be lame if Riri and friends end up forgettable like Echo or any of the Eternals.
Ironman was done to death already, and I don't see anything here to grab my interest. I'll probably give it a shot when it comes out, but I'm not expecting much.
At least there hasn't been anything Iron Man specific in a while, and it's a new character, but yeah. I really do feel like this is going to be similar to Echo or Eternals, those are actually great comparisons to explain how I feel about this. I'd be happy to be wrong. Maybe it's showing my age because I'm in my 30's now, but Riri reminds me of some younger people I worked with in past jobs... but their most annoying traits. I can't place a finger on it exactly, but it's going to be hard to get invested when my subconscious is just reminding me of annoying parts of people from former jobs. I didn't have that problem with Billy Maximoff, or Kate Bishop, or America Chavez. I mostly didn't have the problem with Kamala Khan or Cassie Lang (though a little bit). The others we've gotten glimpses of aren't much to go by. But with Riri, it seems like they've designed her MCU depiction in a focus group to relate to the stereotypes of annoying Gen Z/Alpha people, I'm not sure what she's like in the comics but I was underwhelmed by her movie cameo and the trailer just reminds me of all that. It reminds of how all the recent Disney movie "princesses" (Rapunzel, Anna, Moana, Asha, probably a couple I'm forgetting) are too similar in personality, the originality wore off, it seems like they're designed by focus group now based on stereotypes of what "children these days" would like.
According to the Screencrush Youtube channel, every time they do a deep dive on a new young Marvel hero they keep saying that they're building towards the "Young Avengers". Is that what they're really doing? Spoiler: Brave New World and Thunderbolts spoilers Since Sam is tasked with trying to get the Avengers back together, is he assembling just the young versions OR he is going to assemble everyone he can and whomever is left over will take on the mantle of Young Avengers because the name New Avengers is taken? Then with 2 new Avenger teams in place, I assume they'll combine and then fight the next Thanos/Doom level villain right?
In phases 4 and 5 the MCU introduced* basicly all the Young Avengers/Champions characters ( Ms Marvel, Statue, Wiccan , Patriot - grandson of Isaiah Bradley - America Chavez, Kate Bishop, Hulk's son, Iron Heart and some others i just forgot). It seems like a pattern, don't you think ?Add the post credit scene in The Marvels , if you rmemember anything about the movie, and Disney intentions looks obvious. * Spoiler Long before they introduced the F4 and the X-Men.
