I'll take a good story with bad green screen over a garbage story with great CGI any day of the week
-
There is room for costly TV shows but it has to justify itself. It has to be an event, it has to be worth it, and they can't rewrite half of it in the middle. For instance, had Eternals been a TV show, a massive $220M budget would 100% have made sense.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier though? Where did the hell did the budget go? CGI on shades of grey?
They have to plan these things better, and this is a step in the right direction

It sounds like this is separate from the Eyes of Wakanda thing.
There are people mad at the idea of someone being a new Iron Fist who I guess must not have watched the actual Iron Fist show or how it ended or who was Iron Fist at the end of it.
Jessica Henwick is awesome and by far the best part of Iron Fist so I hope that if they go forward with this, it's with her as the lead

Disney Reportedly Still Considering She-Hulk Season 2 Despite Lead Actor's Comments
https://www.cbr.com/disney-reevaluating-she-hulk-season-2-mcu/
How blind are they to the current situation they're in right now with the MCU to even CONSIDER releasing a 2nd season of this?
If they do willingly produce and release a 2nd season of that show...
That means they really learned absolutely nothing from 2023, and the MCU is headed toward total obsolesce.

why Hollywood was never in the habit of paying their screenwriters the millions that go into actors will never cease to make my mind go numb
the script is always literally the single most important part of a movie, and yet it's so often written by underpaid amateurs backed by studio writers which results in a chaotic mess.
Baffling
Well at least that's not what happened here!

Wouldn't put stock in any of these leakers right know tbh.
MCU in wait and see phase for 2024/2025 movie slate and contemplating what to do post.
Apparently eternals 2 and young avengers movies in " the works" . Yeah don't really believe that and personally think it's some PR to try create a semblance "everything is ok ,
we still going full steam ahead"
Not saying this projects can't happen. But probably Behind the scenes fiege and team are scratching their heads on what rewrites to do and just praying 2024 does good and expected and 2025 atleast deliver or they are well and truly fucked.
Whatever treatments they have for eternals 2 or young avengers are down on the piled list of the issues to handle so really don't think we seeing them for now.
X men movie b4 secret wars sounds dumb to me too. Make that the start of phase 7 . Current saga is too much of a mess ,we don't need them shoe horned in. Unless it's one of the foxverse variants.
Should just finish out this saga and be done with it . the 2024/25 slate, Spidey 4, Schang chi sequel ,DS3 and 2 avengers movies . Definitely retool one of this movies into civil war mini avengers movie .
As for villians . Pliz don't fucking touch doom.
Galactus, Magneto and brother hood variant,beyonder,evil illuminati would work well enough.
I agree with your post in general but at the same time they can't really "wait and see" forever.
Movies have to be written. They have to enter pre-production. They have to be filmed, and then go into post-production. All of this takes about 2 years from start to finish.
You can't just wait forever. Waiting for 2025 to see what sticks before choosing where they're going next means nothing will be released in 2016 and possibly 2017 too. That is simply unacceptable for a public company with shareholders.
It's not going to happen, basically.

Rogue was shafted so much in the X-Men movies. She is a great character that has immense potential. She's supposed to have a playful relationship with Gambit, fly around and just generally be proactive and really involved in things, not whatever the hell the X-Men movies made her to be.
Hopefully they do her right this time around.

A fitting end for one of the biggest jobbers this franchise has ever seen. The decision to have him get beaten by Ant-Man and his army of ants pretty much killed him as a big bad. No one is going to ever take him seriously after that. And with Loki's ending leaving them with a convenient out, I'll join the camp who wants Kang gone entirely and Avengers 5 to be something else. Maybe a fight between the main world and the Illuminati world ending with Loki Who Remains rebooting everything and taking on the Beyonder role in Secret Wars, assuming that still gets made after all this. Hopefully James Gunn and his team are paying very close attention and taking plenty of notes so that their franchise never suffers a downfall like Marvel has.
That's....
actually not a bad idea at all. It would simply be a logical continuation to the events happening in Doctor Strange 2, and Loki was the most popular MCU show anyway so it makes sense he would play a key role. The only issue is that this needs Dr.Doom (Secret Wars can't be made without Doom, that would be just extra dumb), and he hasn't been introduced yet, and he needs to be for it to work.
edit: it's also doubly working because with the Multiverse, most people are criticizing the story for having no consequences. Multiverse = anything can happen, so it's boring. Well this storyline would affirm: Things HAVE consequences, Wanda and Strange messed up with the Multiverse in DS2 and now wwe have 2 universes fighting and it's happening only because of their actions. Consequences... which the MCU sorely needs right now.

Glad Majors was found guilty. Fuck abusers. Tbh think they can just pivot from Kang and just try 838 vs 616/whatever the fuck universe MCU is. Doom is a goated villain and they shouldn't rush him although Doom is a big part of Secret Wars the comic, think The Beyonder (maybe they can bring back Laurence Fishburne for it) as the villain and the 838 Illuminati as antagonists who are pissed at Wanda and Strange fucking up their universe could be an interesting angle.
As a Wanda stan I approve of this message

Nobody cares about Kang
Loki Season 2 handles all of that really well anyway.
Marvel, get rid of this guy, and do something people actually want to see this time around
Don't recast Kang. Don't do Kang. It's over.

All Releases
DOMESTIC (41.6%)
$82,940,438INTERNATIONAL (58.4%)
$116,456,624WORLDWIDE
$199,397,062RIP. A $343M raw drop from Captain Marvel's $426M. It managed to beat Force Awakens to Last Jedi ($316M) for the biggest raw sequel drop domestically.Btw just saying but The Marvels hasn't ended its run yet. Disney have chosen not to report them but eventually numbers will trickle in.
So it's not final yet. It should end its run just after new years, normally.

I still can't believe they never realized that Thor + Captain Marvel in the same movie would have been great. Both are cosmic side of the MCU, they have great chemistry together, it would have done very well at the box office. Likely like Thor 4 + a boost due to the team-up

Well this was equally as good as the first season. Marvel have some quality consistency issues lately but certainly not with Loki
Ke Huy Quan and Owen Wilson are so good.

Fallout First Look: This Is How the World Ends—With a Smiling Thumbs-Up
https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/11/fallout-first-look
Showrunners: Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy (known for Westworld)
Starring: Ella Purnell, Arron Moten, Walton Goggins
Synopsis: The world has lived a nuclear apocalypse and as far as people underground know, was (and probably still is) a nuclear wasteland. Hundreds of years after the nuclear war, and with no contact with the outside world, a crisis forces Lucy (Ella Purnell) to venture above her secure nuclear vault on a rescue mission. She finds that the planet above remains a hellscape crawling with giant insects, voracious mutant animal “abominations,” and a human population of sunbaked miscreants who make the manners, morals, and hygiene of the gunslinging Old West look like Downton Abbey.
Apparently takes place a few years after Fallout 4 and is a new story, not a direct adaptation of a Fallout game per se.
No trailer yet. I mean this looks dope. Let's hope the writing is good

Guess they going to recast Kang if he is found guilty.
Raimi directing is cool.
Waldron writing not one but both avengers is doubling down and crazy to me.
Loki S1 also had a weak script carried by solid acting and good visuals.
Didn't write S2 .
Enough of DS2 script has been said.
He has very little regard for continuity from the little I've seen.
Yeah that's what worries me about Waldron.
You have an ongoing universe here that's filled with moving parts and has been since 2008. You can't just drop everything you don't like about it.
Doing so leads to a Last Jedi + Rise of Skywalker repeat.
-
So real question here:
After both the Russos and the Infinity War/Endgame writers made a massive dud in the form of Gray Man... would you want them to return to direct Secret Wars (and possibly Kang Dynasty)?

The goal of Feige is to beat the Marvels biggest drop from a 1 billion movie with the Kang Dynasty
Oh but you see, Kevin Feige is a completionist.
After setting records of the "highest" type, he wants records of the "lowest" type.
A commendable goal!

Newest rumor is a Wiccan series that will lead into a Scarlet Witch movie. If that's true they didn't learn a single thing about Marvels bombing.
Well it would certainly give credibility to my "if Dax was Kevin Feige" Marvel slate I posted a few pages back. I have a Scarlet Witch movie in there somewhere... 😂
1 hour ago, Willowra said:Lack of interest (apathy) in the lead character is the main reason why this flopped. Lack of interest could be for different reasons, like not having an image of a big character, hate for the character among the fandom, not being an established character, the first movie being medicore, etc.
I agree. Lots of people say it's because of the shows, and only because of that, but I think it's mostly because the characters are just uninteresting to the GA. So they don't even seek the shows out.
If people WANT to watch something something, even if it's a TV show, they WILL. The lack of interest is precisely because of what you said: nobody cares about those characters.

Sam Raimi for avengers? Hmmmmmm
It's at least exciting as a prospect for sure. Now whether it will work is another question entirely.
-
Every time I watch one of these I'm excited for the story and where it's going.
And then I remember that the ST exists and none of it matters.
Jesus... Will my woes ever end?
They really struck gold with Sabine's actress. Like seriously, how can you find such a perfect blend of an actress to play this character? Even a black belt martial artist too? Perfect! And then they transform her into an annoying, undecisive plot device... goddamnit! My frustration is immeasurable and my day is ruined!
So at first I liked this, but the more I think about it, the less it makes sense. I am glad that they tried something new a bit, there are some very interesting ideas in there, it finally feels like Star Wars, but at the same time, the writing is so random and disjointed... hard to enjoy it in the end because of that.
Ahsoka is a terrible protagonist. She has literally no emotion. Whether it's intended or not doesn't matter: it's the end result that counts. And she comes across as GLACIAL. Bad idea.
Anakin!!! 🥰🥰 Loved seeing him again.
Happy to see Jedi kick ass again. It's been so long... the action was directed okay (or at least, the choreography was), but it lacked stakes. The characters came out of high-threat situations way too easily.
I am beyond excited for The Acolyte. Finally, something... else! If it's terrible though... not sure I'll be sticking around for this Filoni-verse that I want no part with. Clearly, telling actual good, coherent stories is not something they're good at.
I never really fully recovered from episode IX to be honest.

but they’ll make Eternals 2 which did worse than Quantumania and when the Marvel brand is in even worse shape??
I'm one of those weirdoes that loved Eternals (I think it's their best post-endgame movie so far LMAO, so I'm really happy about this if it's true). I gave it a 9/10
But it's still confusing because the reason they stated contradicts itself.

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE | 07.26.2024 | Disney | first trailer on page 51

For now I think this will do around Deadpool2 numbers but this could easily blow up. Hard to predict.
