The Marvel Comics Thread

Here's the Super Bowl trailer for Guardian of the Galaxy Vol. 2. From what I've seen, it was the best commercial of the Super Bowl. I can see why.

Thanos is going to be the main character of Avengers: Infinity War. It's about time that the MCU did this.

Marvel Comics is going to drop it's dumbass SJW/leftist propaganda crap in the fall.

They'll also going to bring back Wolverine in the comics too.

I'm starting to wonder just how darn crowded Infinity War is going to be... Marvel's track record is impressive on the whole, but this movie is getting so big that it could potentially start crumbling under it's own weight. I felt that Markus and McFeely dropped the ball in certain areas of Civil War with their handling on Cap and Tony, and it still felt crowded but not really connected. The Spider-Man scenes felt like products of re-shoots. If Marvel allow this one to be longer than even their longest films, then they may be able to knock it out of the park. Worst case scenario, realistically, is a repeat of the divisiveness surrounding Age of Ultron.

To be fair, it's going to take everything needed to take down Thanos. Giving how he's basically the Emperor of the Universe (Think Lord Zedd or Shao Kahn with a body size, strength, and durability comparable to Doomsday.) in the Marvel Comics, they need all these heroes and heroines to make him be stronger. My real question is how the Captain Marvel/Ms. Marvel movie is going to work since it takes place after Avengers: Infinity War.

with your comparisons there in mind, Rhedo, Thanos is actually Marvel's version of Darkseid  that's not a supposition, he was explicitly made as their equivalent to him, was even originally gonna be based more on Metron but the higher-ups insisted on making him like Darkseid because he was more popular

^I did hear read that once.

Here's an interesting article from 'The Hollywood Reporter' about the Captain Marvel/Ms. Marvel movie.

Scarlett Johansson says that after talking to Kevin Feige, that a Black Widow movie is still possible.

Robert Downey Jr. says Iron Man is more mature in Avengers 3.

Here's our first look at Avengers: Infinity War.

Infinity War is a two parter. The movie will essentially be 5 hrs but split in two. More than enough time for characterization and for decent screentime for everyone if you look at the whole. That said I find it hard for people to be satisfied with them as standalone movies and may be some of the lowest rated films in the MCU rather unjustly....then again IIRC people didn't mind Harry Potter and looked those the right way.

So far, the early reviews for Logan have been overwhelmingly positive. A 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Spider-Man Homecoming News.

We another view, albeit less then perfect, of what Shocker will look like

With a total gross of $1,153,304,495 dollars, Captain America: Civil War is the highest grossing movie of 2016.

Simon Kinberg is going to write and direct X-Men 7 Supernova.

Wasn't this guy one of the main factors behind Fant4stic? If so, then why is he still with Fox?

Yeah, why in the hell are they putting so much damn faith in Simon Kinberg! Do they want a repeat of the Brett Ratner situation? Rothman might not be around to make life hell for the X-Men production team, but incompetent directors certainly will. And the mood of the fanboy population is growing very sour indeed towards the X-Men franchise, with word "reboot" gets thrown around a lot.

Joe Carnahan is going to write and possibly direct an X-Force movie.

Hugh Jackman Would Keep Playing Wolverine If The X-Men Were Part Of The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Marvel's Cloak and Dagger TV series just started to film.

Some people at 20th Century Fox still think that they can make a good Fantastic 4 movie.

Seriously, Fox, just let Marvel have the Fantastic Four and their rogues gallery back, you DON'T NEED THEM.

Simon Kinberg is the main person behind this. This guy just doesn't get it. Hopefully, the higher ups are smart enough to realize that the fanbase doesn't trust Fox with the F4 anymore.

2 interesting things about the new Logan movie.

1. It's actually connected to the X-Men movie series.

2. Patrick Stewart said that this is going to be the final X-Men movie he is doing. He's retiring from the franchise for good. He's always been a great Charles Xavier. It's sad to know that this is going to be his final X-Men movie, but he's earned and deserved it.

Simon Kinberg say they won't make a F4 movie until they get it 100% right and we may never see Josh Trank's version before all those reshoots.

"I think the truth is we would not make another Fantastic Four movie until it was ready to be made. One of the lessons we learned on that movie is that we want to make sure we get it 100% right, because we will not get another chance with the fans."

On the pre-reshoot version.

"I don’t know the answer to that in terms of whether or not fans will ever see it. I think B-roll is probably the place where they will see it. And for us, it’s in the past in the sense of lessons learned and we would love to make another Fantastic Four movie. We really believe in that cast, and I think the lessons that we learned would help us make a more consistent movie than we did the first time."

It looks like we have to wait until after Avengers 3 for an update on a possible Black Widow movie.

What is it with Marvel being so reluctant to greenlight a film starring Scarlett Johansson, a known box office draw, in easily her signature role?? And why wait until after Avengers 3? Why not Wonder Woman? I know critical reception for that film could go either way, but the box office will still be strong and what better time to curry interest?

I an SO amped up for this movie.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR And AVENGERS 4 Reportedly Have A Massive $1 Billion Budget

Apparently an altered version of this is playing before Logan:

So far, Logan has made $85.3 million domestically. It's already one of the largest grossing R-rated movie of all time.

Logan was amazing. It was a heartfelt movie at it's core, but it was extremely brutal in many way. Some of the revelations of what's been happening were huge, and while the movie has a lot of depressing material, it does manage to give hope in the end. I don't want to give spoilers, so I'll just say it honestly felt like 10/10.

I just saw this review of Avengers Number 200 by Linkara.



I must admit, this is the dumbest, ridiculous, crackbrained comic book ever made. And yet, I find it hilarious. I really should get this comic book, just for laughs. It been a while since I've seen a review that made me laugh, but this one did.

Future X-MEN Movies Will Move On From Professor X/Magneto Dynamic; SUPERNOVA Title Details

Good News and Bad News.

Bad News first. Nick Spencer has basically made Magneto into a Nazi via joining Hydra. Having a Holocaust survivor join forces with Red Skull is something I'd expect Richard Spencer to do. I mean, shouldn't EVERYBODY from the comics division be fired by now? Between this, Cap joining Hydra, all the other SJW crap the comics has shoved down peoples throats, which in turn have led to imploding sales, what does it take to get fired over there? Does tradition mean nothing to Marvel Comics anymore?

Now on to more happier news.

Logan has made $247.444 million dollars so far. $88.4 million of it domestically.

So Magneto, a.k.a Erik Lehnsherr a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor, has now become his ideological opposite and joined the successors of the Nazi regime?? Marvel comics can officially blow itself.

Kinda makes one glad that Marvel Studios is there (as well as the good to great X-Men films) to do justice to their iconic characters, because clearly the parent company isn't!
