This is shaping up to be the best of the Thor movies. Or at least the most fun.

Wasn't that obvious from the end-credits scene?

Frank Grillo says that Crossbones is dead for good and he ain't coming back.

Well it's a little hard to "come back" from being blown to sizzling hot atomic molecules.

I'm still hoping that either Red Skull or Zemo comes back. Preferably Zemo since he's the only villain who's managed to win in an MCU movie.

(accidental double-post)

i think Red Skull is the most likely--first off, he's the most famous Captain America villain ever. second, his death was never actually shown--he coulda just been transported to some other planet to start working for Thanos or something. third, i don't think he's been used to his full potential yet. fourth, it would just be too compelling for him to turn out to be the man behind the man for a future MCU movie involving space. who knows? maybe he'll be in the stinger for Guardians of the Galaxy 2

Spider-Man Confirmed For Avengers: Infinity War

btw, for those who have the service, Civil War is on Netflix now

It looks like Ike Perlmutter is going to part of Donald Trump's cabinet.

I have a confession to make. I have never, ever watched single minute of any Marvel superhero movie, and have no desire to do so in the future either. However, I have watched all the reviews RLM have made of them in Half of the Bag  

Superheroes are not my thing, I read other comics growing up. There are only three exceptions in media where I liked them:
- Batman 1989 (and only that film)
- Smallville TV series
- Dredd 2012

Smallville got bit stale in later season when they started adopting more elements from the comics which I didn't care for and most of the original characters had been killed off or otherwise thrown under the buss (except for Clark and Chloe) but overall it was a great series.

You know, it's not entirely fair to not see any Marvel movie based on RLM reviews. If anything else, you should at least see a few. Only then can a fair judgement be made.

But I really don't want to, there's literally nothing that interests me less in film world    I don't even care what they say about them on RLM, whether it's good or bad (they actually like most of them just 'fine'). I just wanna see them having discussion of whatever and if it's review of superhero movie, I watch it for their sake

The 7th X-Men movie is probably going to be called 'X-Men: Supernova' and will be a Dark Phoenix movie.

Red Skull is not coming back unless they release Hugo Weaving from his contract and recast. He said he wanted no part of any more movies. Although Skull is beast.

Also Zemo is terrible. He should have been Dr. Faustus in Civil War. Since that is basically who they made him.

RLM is a blight on the film review world. Also I bet you have watched superhero movies that you didn't realize were ones? Eh doesn't matter. You are just missing out on more than just the Marvelized films then. Shrug.


FACEPALM....Supernova? Sigh. Well hope they do this one right this time. Also it is really early to do the Dark Phoenix Saga.

glad i'm not the only one who thinks Red Letter Media is full of crap

How much of Weaving not coming back was Perlmutter's fault? Because I know that prior to the big split, he was a big reason of the backstage drama. With him out of the Marvel movie branch, it is possible that Kevin Feige can make a new deal to have him come back?

As for the Dark Phoenix, it really does feel like Fox is trying to make up for X3 even more then we thought they would. I give them credit with trying to do the right thing, but...maybe a new director or some form of new blood since Bryan Singer might have lost some of his mojo. I know what happen to the series without him, but the X-Men series needs something new WITHOUT messing everything up via X3.

I am not sure any of it was his with Weaving. He expressed a weary disdain for the circus act surrounding high-profile movies after the Matrix, LOTR, V for Vendetta, etc. and I think he also felt the part wasn't meaty enough and the method they used for his Red....skull was pretty uncomfortable.

All that said, removing that drama, seeing the evolution of the MCU and also having a bit of a break from blockbusters might just be the kick he needs to spur on a second turn as the Skull. It would be great to make Skull a bigger villain and get the spotlight again. Aside from Loki, Marvel has done a pretty poor job of treating their character's arch-nemeses right. I mean Dormammu had a clever but disappointing scene, Skull was a one-off, Hulk hasn't faced his, and Iron Man....yeah that was the one noted travesty to befall the MCU to date.


They are. Very intriguing. I also have a bit of good news, barring a change of heart, Singer said he wanted to take a break from the X-Men following Apocalypse (not leaving) so perhaps you will get the new blood you seek. Maybe even Matthew Vaughn will return?


Logan looks interesting btw. Don't know what to say really.

What about Ultron? Couldn't one argue that he was Tony Stark's arch-nemeses as well as one that was done right?

It's good to see that Singer is taking a break from the X-Men movies. I like him, but really does need some time to refresh himself and get some new ideas.

Also, rumor has it that Eva Green is in talks to play Lady Death. If this happens, then it won't be any wonder that Thanos would want to court her.

With Fox making the Fantastic 4 toxic with their 3 failed movies and Sony being desperate for cash and giving Marvel part of the rights back, which superhero rights will go back to Marvel first: F4 or Spiderman?

EDIT: Pierce Brosnan may have been cast as Cable for Deadpool 2. Never thought that he of all people would have been interested.

Ultron is an Avengers villain. Like Thanos for instance. The only time Ultron had a connection to Stark was in the film. I believe Pym was more integral in the comics.

Eva Green is cool. I have no opinion on Death so she could probably do it. Too bad Ryan Reynolds wasn't with the MCU then too I guess.

Pierce Brosnan is a BAMF so that would be cool. He would be the coolest actor associated with the Summers family. lol


Lastly.....F4 is more likely. Fox could retain X-Men still and while F4 has an awesome rogues gallery and Fox hates Marvel...Sony isn't giving up Spider-Man after winning the negotiations.

yeah, i seem to remember reading somewhere that it was originally Pym who had a hand in making Ultron (whereas in the movie it's Banner)

i think even if Marvel does get Fantastic Four back, they might not be touching it for a while, if at all as part of the MCU (unless they just bring in the Fantastic Four or Doom as part of the crossover), since they don't have the best track record as far as film adaptations go

But doesn't conventional wisdom say that it's only a matter of time before Marvel gets the rights back anyway considering how bad of a shape that Sony's U.S. movie branch is in?

Frank Darabont is might be directing & rewriting the Gambit movie.

AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Will Apparently Take Us To "Many New Worlds" In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

Rhedo not likely. Even if Sony shuts down Sony, Columbia and Tri-Star they have no risk holding on to Spider-Man. They keep a share of the profits for all the movies and Marvel does the grunt work. Sony would have to go under all the way.


Dead--Yeah, they have to get the Guardians into the movie somehow and Strange, Thor and Hulk.

I'm very surprised no one posted the new Logan trailer yet.




This movie is looking so good.

Well that resolves my second issue with the movie. Sadly the first can't be fixed no matter what.

To borrow a phrase from Collider Movie Talk with regards to the continuity of the X-Men films:
"In the hallowed halls of 20th Century Fox Studios, there is a sign that reads: Continuity Schmontinuity"

A flippant but not entirely inaccurate creedo.

Wouldn't it be possible to just make the first Wolverine movie non-canon (which Fox partly did anyway via last year's Deadpool movie) and somehow make the other 2 (the last one and this one) canon?
