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

I actually think it would be a pretty brutal and interesting superhero movie that explored how powerless a singe powered individual was against the forces of colonialism and global capitalism in completely destroying a native society.

 

I had a pretty cool idea for the Doctor Strange trilogy. So Baron Mordo is obviously a villain in the next one, which I titled 'Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme', but I'd like Enchantress to be a villain in it too. Strange himself is too powerful to take one just one of these noobs. Dormmamu would be teased in the after credits.

Then we get to the important part - the third film. By this stage in the MCU, I feel like the Fantastic Four and X-Men will have been introduced. Now Dormammu is a big character and one of the most powerful villains there is, so it would be a shame to never use him again, which is why this film would act as a smaller Avengers film like Civil War, except Strange would assemble all of the sorcerers in the MCU, making it a big deal and giving Dormammu the best role possible. It would start with Doctor Doom (who's already a main recurring villain in the MCU by now) visiting Strange and telling him he's felt Doammu's presence, which Strange has felt as well. After some bickering the two agree to work together to fight the coming evil, and in order to stand a chance, they must assemble every magic based hero and villain they know to fight him. Doom goes and gets Enchantress, while Strange goes and gets Wong, Scarlet Witch, Magik, and whoever else is in the MCU by then. The heroes and villains must put their differences aside and work together to take Dormammu down permanently. That would be so epic to see.

 

So would it be worse if Kevin Feige completely ignores your idea...or rips it off word for word?

 

Kevin can steal it if he wants, I'd love to see it happen! Lol.

 

Yes, that would be a fairly worthless power.

"No, my eyebrows!"

 

ayyy!!

 

South Park had a two-fer of MCU on the season premiere with Black Panther related subplot (great slam about how meeting the kings in the afterlife is cribbed from Lion King and calling it a "structural mess") and Cartman running around wearing a leather Jacket and monolouging and background jazz music like Jessica Jones.

 

The MCU's "A-Force."

 

Disney/Fox Merger Could Actually Be Completed As Soon As The End Of 2018

 

So the Snapture took out half the animal population too! From Kevin Feige Q&A around the time Ant-Man was released:

“Are half the animals dead? Are half of the horses gone? Half of the ants?” Responded Feige, “Yes. All life.”

I mean, the entire thing was resource reallocation, right? you need animals for food to the remaining half would have a surplus and "full bellies". But Thanos is an idiot and clearly didn't think it through. Or living up to his Mad Titan name. Or he believed animals weren't a food source but sentient lives that were a drain on resources and 50% of them needed to go to! Agh! You were supposed to be smarter than this, Thanos!

 

With Evans potentially retire from Cap, I would suspect that Marvel would shelf the character for a few years and lead Captain Marvel and Spidey take the reins of the MCU for a bit before the character is recast. Which I'll be fine with.



I'm ready for Cap to have his dance with Peggy.

 

What part of "the Mad" in 'Thanos the Mad Titan' did you miss?

 

Tru that, although the 50% plan does have a "brutal but sensible" logic to it but that kinda goes completely out the window to full on mad if he's halfing food resources as well. So much for #thanosdidnothingwrong

Dread it.
Run from it.

 

Hi @Ender Sai did you know Al thinks only meat can be food? Does this surprise you?

 

and "po-tay-tah chips"

 

He was just keeping it simple. I mean if you start following a yum-yum exception, where does it end? Earthlings, Kree, Xandarians ... they're all food for something.

 

So as for the not MCU Marvel movie released last weekend, Venom. Which I saw some speculation that it was toned back from an R to PG-13 to make it MCU compatible. Which, having watched it, I think the movie is very MCU backwards compatible friendly. Although they may have killed off J Jonah Jameson's astronaut son in the opening minutes. And it does have an actor who is in Luke Cage but, really know, as we saw with Alfie Woodard it wouldn't be the 1st time. Personally, I kind of view it the way I view Runaways or Cloak and Dagger wherein people get superpowers and nobody is particularly preturbed or unable to understand it because, y'know, they live in a world with Iron Man, the Hulk and alien invasions. Although Eddie does express disbelief that aliens exist but that could be handwaved away.

 

What did I just read?

 

So I saw Luke Cage Season 2, and a good part of Season 1.

I will try to do a bigger review later. But for now? Diamondback.

What was the deal with this guy. In a show that had a surprising amount of bright spots, this just seemed unrelentingly terrible. His father was a pastor, fine. The constant scriptural paraphrases were still really grating. What were they even going for? He didn't otherwise build that as a motif around himself. A good half the time they weren't even topical--he just shoe-horned it in to whatever he was saying. That besides, his name didn't really make sense, he seemed like less of a threat than the villains that came before, and he didn't pose much of a threat to Luke Cage. By the time we got to the "secret brother" revelation, it was just overwhelming soap opera.

Scarlett Johansson Lands $15 Million Payday for Black Widow Movie

 

Oh holy crap! Someone who looks almost identical to Sebastian Stan is at my job. He was in my department with two suits 15 minutes ago. I couldn’t linger or say anything because it sounded like heavy legal talk...I nearly walked into the glass doors on my way out as I noticed them.

In the bathroom I heard myself say No way!

Anyway, back to legit Marvel news.

 

Which Sebastian Stan. Long hair brooding Bucky Stan, or Sebastian Stan from The Martian?

One of my favorite YouTube pundits, ComicBookGirl19, is in love with Long hair brooding Bucky Stan, but totally rejects clean cut, clean shaven Stan.

At any rate, congrats on the encounter @Master_Lok
