Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
I loved the animation of the What If? episode, and that they got most of the cast of the original movie back for their roles. But the story didn't wow me.
Once Agent Carter was super-ized (and why did she grow so unusually large like that? Schmidt and Bucky didn't, and Steve apparently grew because he started out sickly and underdeveloped), she seemed to use brute force to solve every problem. What happened to her brilliant mind and strategic competence? Steve becoming WWII Iron Man felt like the writers couldn't stand to let the story be centered on Peggy. And the constant repetition of plot points and dialogue from CA:TFA really rubbed me the wrong way, just as it does in fanfic when the writers parrot their favorite lines from the source material.
I hope they do better with the writing in next week's offering.
I am against
Nebula having hair
Word, -t. I found that hella distracting.
I found it hard to believe that t'Challa
wouldn't go home, even if just to prove that it was gone.
Also that even t'Challa could
convince Thanos to be less genocidal.
Finally a goddamn trailer for Spider-Man!!! [link]
(Sinister Six Sinister Six Sinister Six!!!!!)
The pumpkin bomb and the cackle followed by the arms and "Hello, Peter" nearly made me squee.
ETA: I really hope we get a redesigned Goblin rather than the bizarre Raimi version. Though I'm still good with Dafoe as Osborne (if he's up to it.)
followed by the arms and "Hello, Peter" nearly made me squee.
I have zero chill, and I yelled “Fucking Doc Ock HELL YEAH!!!!!!”
And we’d better get Willem Dafoe back as Green Goblin.
I’m not sure how I feel about Cumberbatch’s hairpiece. Is that something they’re going to fix in post?
