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

Politics neve recovered after it was found out the Vice President was backing extremist.

 

they dropped an Obama reference on Runaways, I think it's possible that the MCU has had a string of one-term-ers POTUS. What with the alien and robot invasions and Veeps involved in terrorist organizations and all. So it's Obama- Ellis - Trump seems likely.

So I personally have started my MCU rewatch for New Year's Resolution for 2019 - at least one Marvel Cinematic Universe movie a week until the release of Avengers: Endgame. The math works out to 20 movies is 1 a week for 16 weeks plus and once a month double-shot. Also any shorts - which is all the One shots and the World News Web shorts I believe - and a smattering of at least 1 ep of all of the TV shows, the misbegotten tangent of the MCU, yes even 1 ep of Iron Fist and Inhumans! (IF has a good S1 ep where he brawls a bunch of magical people in successon and Inhumans final episode is sorta relevant I guess, Black Bolt talks finally).

So since I am currently watching Runaways S2 and Punisher S2 hits in a few weeks, those are covered. I would bet quite a lot of quatloos that Jessica Jones S3 will air before Endgame. Luke Cage and Cloak and Dagger - S1 finale I guess. Daredevil S2 finale which leads nicely into Defenders finale episode. Or maybe also the Luke Cage/Iron Fist team up episode after Defenders too cuz it was awesome. Agents of SHEILD, the most MCU centric that stand out to me is the post HYDRA reveal ep and the one immediately after that and the S1 finale cuz Nick Fury! So only 3 AoS I would qualify as essential to the overall MCU story (and I don't want to get bogged down in too much AoS rewatching here, it's mostly a movie rewatch)

So when the clock struck after midnight Jan 1st my MCU movie of the week - #1 - Captain America: The First Avenger. I know Cap is all now "Oh, I'm in the future and I'm morally conflicted and I have a beard cuz the future is morally ambiguous" but dammit Cap is a WWII hero who fights the Red Skull. I could watch 6 movies of just this!

now I know Jenna Coleman plays Bucky's double-date in the opening when they go to see Stark's hover car but is that her voice or is it dubbed cuz it doesn't really sound like her at all. Oh and of note Thanos is a freakin' beast Vol 3: the Space Stone is powering all of Hydra's weapons, one small touch blew up Stark's lab. thanos crushed it's container held it and used it.

And also the Agent Carter One shot included on the Iron Man Three Blu Ray. The canon status of the Agent Carter One Shot is somewhat shaky due to the events of the TV series - is it before? After? Never? - but a quick google has a good theory that it takes place before the TV series happens. good enough for me! Then Agent Carter S2 finale cuz it has some good callbacks to First Avenger - Stark's hover car! - and also my favourite scene of Agent Carter and top MCU TV, Howard hitting golf balls into the vortex while Jarvis gives him pointers. but then I remembered Zemo is in the S1 finale so I watched that afterwards too. Also has some good FA callbacks / them getting over the guilt of Steve's death.

and since FA and AC are very Howard Stark-adjacent (Stark flat out introduces the world to Vibraimum in FA also Jarvis is in AC!), it makes for a good first watch before the double shot next of Iron Man and Iron Man 2. So yah, if you're MCU rewatching kiddies, put that there First Avenger 1st, it sets up more MCU tangents than Iron Man does.

 

And First Avenger is an entertaining and great movie to boot, a perfect reason to rewatch it . My favorite MCU origin story too (Despite loving Doctor Strange whose slight rethink is my second favorite MCU origin).

 

yah going mostly for in-universe chronological watching so Guardians of the Galaxy and GotG V2 are basically back to back watches, maybe after Winter Solider. And even though Doctor Strange was released after Civil War, I think slotting it in after Age of Ultron or Ant-Man. Hell maybe even pre WS? (although the Stephen Strange reference that Sitwell says can fly cuz Strange is a rock star Doctor). Black Panther right after CW, then Homecoming, then Ant-Man & the Wasp and Ragnarok and Infinity War as the last few.

fun part is the weekly MCU movie the first week of March? Captain Marvel! Also it's a 90s flashback movie so can fit it in anywhere. Probably should definitely watch the two GotG movies before that though.

 

oh cool, thanks, that's very handy all the way on page 1. So you have one shot Consultant after Thor? Personally, I was thinking just watch Incredible Hulk, Consultant, Funny Thing and then Thor. And Avengers right after Thor cuz Avengers is, for me, mostly a Thor sequel (and the Thor post credit scene, directed by Whedon I believe, is directly into Avengers)

Watching First Avenger first the post-credit is the Avengers teaser which is sort of way back out of order in a (mostly) chronological watch but it's still a solid teaser anyway.

 

I was going to put this in the Cute Overload thread. Then I noticed they have neither fur nor whiskers.

 

Marvel ret-con Loki being evil! Thanos stick made him evil!

https://www.marvel.com/characters/loki/on-screen

https://news.avclub.com/marvel-subtly-retcons-loki-s-supervillain-role-1831460208

Arriving at the Sanctuary through a wormhole caused by the Bifrost, Loki met the Other, ruler of the ancient race of extraterrestrials the Chitauri, and Thanos. Offering the God of Mischief dominion over his brother’s favorite realm Earth, Thanos requested the Tesseract in return. Gifted with a Scepter that acted as a mind control device, Loki would be able to influence others. Unbeknownst to him, the Scepter was also influencing him, fueling his hatred over his brother Thor and the inhabitants of Earth.

"Thanos did it!" Yah I don't buy it, Loki a straight up bastard in the original Thor movie (moreso Avengers) and sort of devalues his character arc to Infinity War "The sun will shine upon us again, brother".

But, on the flipside, all of the Avengers get real angry in the room with Loki's scepter "you people are so petty. And tiny!" so it is probably in there and not a huge retcon. Maybe.

 

Eh...Loki’s a trickster and a prime manipulator. Thor revealed his half-brother’s con in Ragnarok (and could have sicced the Hulk on Loki again), but didn’t. Loki might have a little good in him, but he’s chaotic evil.

The mind stone may have enhanced his chaos inducing mischief, but not flipped his switch from good to evil. As you say, he was already there in the first Thor.

 

Could act like a Horcrux: makes good people into bitter, argumentative, while increasing the darkness/evil that's already inside a character (like the locket Horcrux enhancing Umbridge's evil even more, allowing someone like her to cast a Patronus Charm where Harry couldn't when he was wearing it).

To sum it up: the Mind Stone didn't cause him to become a you know what; it just gave him "permission," freeing any inhibitions.

 

Which is why Vision brings chaos and destruction wherever he goes

 

^ that's actually a good point cuz if the Mind Stone was driving people buggity boo all the time why isn't everyone just really ticked off and annoyed and antagonistic when Vision is around. Or maybe they were! They did have a Civil War after all. And Vision was in the room when Tony got all persistent about signing the accords.

 

Kevin Feige was interviewed on the red carpet for the Golden Globes and it was brought up that the director of Vice wants to direct a Silver Surfer movie. Fiege said Mckay was a fan, smart, and helped on Ant Man.

 

Or did they? I wager Loki and Stephen are still alive.

 

Chris Evans’ Steve Rogeriish Twitter rant on tech has earned the best answer possible!





I am going to miss these guys.

They must really like what she's doing over there. She gets the showrunner gig for V&SW after co-writing Captain Marvel and the Black Widow solo movie.

 

Maybe Loki survived his encounter with Thanos but then got dusted later.
