The Marvel Comics Thread

to be fair, that's been part of Magneto's character for a long time: a man who was subjected to the Holocaust because he was a Jew and survived ironically went on to become a mutant-supremacist. the Hydra thing is new, but him lining up with Red Skull ideologically isn't that surprising.

If Magneto had killed off all of the Nazi Hydra villains and then ruled Hydra it would be one thing. But to line himself up with a guy who killed a Jewish girl, killed his friend in front of Hitler himself, and then basically be trained by him afterwards? Sorry, but that just doesn't fly. In one issue, he mentally broke Red Skull.


In other news, James Gunn LOVED Logan and thanked the director, James Mangold, who then thanked Gunn back.

That really is class. We need more of that in the world nowadays. Nice to see that it still exists.

Here's the cover of Entertainment magazine.

Logan has made slightly over $ 300 million so far.

Speaking of which

Spoiler:

CAPTAIN AMERICA Star Chris Evans Reportedly Moving On From Steve Rogers After AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

James Gunn talks about the powers of Star Lords' biological father, Ego the Living Planet.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Will Happen; James Gunn Unsure of His Role

So far, Logan has made just under $461 million.

Sony's upcoming movie, Life, might actually be a prequel to Sony's upcoming Venom movie.

If this is true, then the Spider Man 3 footage in the trailer makes far more sense.


Mads Mikkelsen walked out of an audition for Fant4stic. It was most likely that of Dr. Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic.

Lucky him. I know that most of the actors/actresses didn't have their careers suffer all that much. But even so, all the backstage chaos that happened alone was enough to make people get disgusted. You can even see it in the faces of the cast during the movie.

Logan has made just under $523.7 million dollars so far.

Sony's Venom movie will be released on October 5, 2018.

The theory that Life is a prequel to Venom has been debunked.

Chris Yost, who worked on Thor Ragnarok is writing the script for a Black Cat and Sliver Sable movie for Sony. Like the Venom movie, this won't be an MCU movie.

I can't help but wonder when Marvel will get the entire Spider Man rights back.

Chris Evans says that it's possible that he'll come back as Captain America after all.

This article says that Sony greenlit both the Venom movie and the Black Cat/Sliver Sable movie is because Sony wants to make the movie branch look better then it is so it can be sold off at a higher price.

Production Listing Suggests ‘Venom’ Will Be a Rated R Horror Film!

The problem is how are they going to do it when the future of Sony Pictures is undetermined so far. I know that I posted earlier that they might be doing this to make themselves look better so that they can go for a higher price. But now part of me is wondering if this is the final straw and if they really can do this. CW is that it's only a matter of time before the entire rights go back to Marvel so how they can do this and the upcoming Black Cat/Sliver Sable movie is something that I don't get.

While I don't like the idea, despite it breaking the mold a bit in the opposite direction of something like Deadpool, I'd say it's more of trying to keep a positive look towards the future. Sony Pictures may be in trouble, but they aren't out yet, and as business have to keep moving forward. As of now, they still own those Spider-man rights, despite sharing them with the MCU. Will the sell them if things go bottom up sooner or later? Probably. But for now, I imagine they are throwing whatever out whatever they think might stick and going with it until the future is more clear.

Amy Pascal says that after the sequel to Spiderman: Homecoming, that Spiderman will be out of the MCU.

I consider this bullshit and fake news for many reasons.

1. Sony Pictures uncertain state. We don't know how long Sony Pictures will last before it either gets sold off or merged with the video game division.

2. A PR nightmare. It's no secret that Sony's...uh...anti-marketing campaign/smear campaign against those that had legitimate criticisms of GB2016 was a total debacle and was a huge reason why the movie bombed. It makes no sense to make one that would dwarf even that.

3. Amy Pascal damaged. Between the damage done by the North Korean hacks and by the GB2016 smear campaign, I don't think that she has any clout left.

4. Tom Rothman. Rothman may not be the best man when it comes to superhero movies, but even he know how much of a disaster this would be for Sony. Besides, I just don't see him being worse then Amy Pascal. I can see him trying to integrate the Spiderman spinoffs into the MCU, but I don't see him taking Spiderman out, at least not entirely.

5. Lack of power. Disney has been dominant for most of this decade and will set to dominate for much of the next one too. What power does Sony have? Even more so when you take in what I said above.

Update: Forbes just confirmed that Spider-Man has two more solo Spider Man movies and one MCU appearance after Homecoming.

In any case. Enough fake news. Here's REAL news. And good news too. The new Spider-Man Homecoming trailer.

David Gabriel, the VP of Marvel's sales division said that the reason for the big slump in the comics is because “Didn’t Want Any More Diversity,” “Didn’t Want Female Characters”.

No it's because people are sick of SJW bullcrap being put in their comics. I still don't get why Disney doesn't tell the head honcho of comic branch to fire everybody and hire new writers. Keeping the current branch will only allow the possibility of this to happen within a few years from now.

In this case, it does. They've been like this for a year or so and the decline in sales shows.

Tony Stark will be wearing the Ultimate Iron Man armor in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

James Gunn, the director of both Guardians Of The Galaxy movies says that Disney/Marvel's open to an R-rated movie.

I like this. Perhaps this will help legitimize the idea of a Defenders/Daredevil movie, since an R rating (or 15 rating in the UK) is not as much of a limiting force for multi-million dollar movies as it used to be, as evidenced by Kingsman: The Secret Service, Logan and Deadpool. Also Suicide Squad was rated a 15 in the UK rather than PG-13.

What's more is that Disney HAS done a lot of R/15 rated material in the past via their Touchstone and Hollywood Pictures banners, so having an R rated MCU movie pertaining to a particular character that really needs that rating would not be entirely out of the question. After all, just because many children are fans of many of Marvel Studios movies doesn't mean they will turn up for all of them because at the end of the day everyone has varied tastes. I overheard a conversation between a little boy and his parents saying he only liked the Avengers and Captain America movies and didn't like the Iron Man and Thor films (but said nothing about GotG). Basically, being a Marvel Studios film does not, and perhaps should not, automatically dictate that everyone across any demographic will necessarily turn up for a film that's meant "for everyone".

But the question is that how well would an R-rated Daredevil movie fit into the MCU? Not only that, but what part of the set MCU heroes can be part of an R-rated movie. The only one that can be possible is Cap but that only if they ret-con his WW2 history so that he fought in some major battle or if they make a Rambo-style Captain America movie where he fights either North Korea or some IslamoNazi force that connected to Hydra.

Marvel artist secretly put in anti-Christian and anti-Semitic messages in the upcoming X-Men comic.

What makes it worse is that the X-Men comic series was created by 2 men of Jewish origin and one other man who was raised Jewish. Talk about insulting people big time. No wonder why the comic sales are dying.

G. Willow Wilson, creator of the new Ms. Marvel, tears apart the creator of the one writer who added anti-Christian and anti-Semitic messages in the upcoming X-men comic.

You can read what she says here.

Good, it's time that another Marvel writer put this guy in his place.

Here's the Thor: Ragnarok trailer.



I like it. I really like how they linked Guardians Of The Galaxy movies to the MCU better. But I have a lot of questions:

1. Is Hel Loki's partner in taking over Asgard?
2. Are they working together?
3. What role is Loki being?
4. I heard that Thanos is supposed to have a role in this. Was that real or misinformation?
5. Just how strong is Hel compared to the rest of the Asgardians?

I've had more questions about this MCU movie then I've had with all the others.


In other news, Logan has made just under $597 dollars.

Gwen Stacy might be in the new Spider-Man movie.

Josh Brolin will be Cable in Deadpool 2.

The Marvel artist who put in anti-Christian and anti-Semitic messages in X-Men Gold has been fired. Also, the propagenda that he put in has been removed by Marvel.

Good.

Jesus, the sh*t that goes on in Marvel Comics these days leaves me speechless. I'm glad it's been put a stop to, at least.

Also, Josh Brolin as Cable? Not a bad choice at all! A good way to differentiate between Fox's X-Men universe and the MCU by playing two different roles that require different disciplines. To be honest, I think there can and should be more actor crossover between the superhero universes of Fox, Disney and Warner Bros if the actors are utilized differently. And no offence to Pierce Brosnan, he will always be a stellar 007, but I could not see him as Cable.
