MCU Thread 2

[Memento Mori]

Has anyone ever cared about Wonder Man? Dear me.
Just skip ahead to the X-Men already.

I'm just glad they're expanding the universe and adding more characters to play around with. Also who gave a strawberry float about half the cast before they appeared in the MCU, the MCU is making people care about characters like Hawkeye so hopefully they can do the same with Wonderman.

Wonder Man is particularly bad though tbf.

I'm a pacifist! I'm not a pacifist! Death to the Avengers! I love the Avengers! I love you Wanda!

I let out an audible groan every time he walks on panel.

Better TV show ideas than Wonder Man:

DOOM
X-Factor Investigations
The New Mutants
The Future Foundation
Strange Academy
Heroes for Hire (but with a better Iron Fist)
The Pulse
Silver Surfer (Dan Slott's run was basically Doctor Who fanfiction as it was)

I get the feeling a lot of those will happen once we actually have FF and Xmen in the MCU. A doom show is what I want more than anything.

Weren't they planning a Damage Control show but it got binned? I vaguely remember something was in production.

[Rex Kramer]

Yeah, one of the American networks had one planned around 2015 but it got quietly canned.

Tickets booked for Thor!

Yeah that was a few years back before Disney+ was a thing and it was going to be on Hulu I think, so wouldn't have had any MCU stuff.

[dmin]

Reminds me of Scott Pilgrim in many ways.

Just started Ms Marvel today and that immediately sprung to mind too. It looks amazing but wasn't bowled over, interested to see where it goes though...

Finally saw multiverse of madness. That might be my favourite Marvel film yet even though I'm disappointed one of my favourite characters didn't really get to do anything lol

[GrinWithoutaKat]

I thought Multiverse of Madness was excellent, and I say that as someone that really disliked the first Doctor Strange film. Winter Soldier made me want to check out comics, so that was 8 years ago, and this is the first time I watched an MCU movie and felt like oh I'm watching this as a comic nerd that recognises things, although that's probably more to do with the amount of fanservice they squeezed in rather than me being all knowledgeable.

I really liked them using an established character as the antagonist. I know it's not the first time they've had a character hop over the hero/villain line, it's not even the first time it's happened to Wanda, but so many of the MCU films and TV shows have a big bad we've never met before, and a lot of the time they don't survive beyond the end of it either. They need to get better at writing ways villains are defeated without being killed, but they can also do stuff like this. A big part of comic fandom seems to be people discussing how a fight would go between this character and that character and so many Marvel heroes have potential to be dickheads and act as the villain in individual stories.

Something that has potential to bother me is the lack of clarity on the rules of the Multiverses. I know they've said 616 Reed Richards is yet to be cast, but I'm not sure how that works. Stephen Strange in every other universe we saw looks like Cumberbatch, Wanda in every universe we saw looks like Elizabeth Olsen, Kang always looks like Jonathan Majors, but we know not every Peter Parker looks the same, and not ever Loki looks the same.

Assuming there is an infinite number of multiverses, then there are an infinite number of Strange's that look like Cumberbatch. And an infinite number that don't.

I never said there were no horrific universes.

Strange Magic makes sense I suppose.
