I think that’s the key here. I know many folks have pointed out they would’ve liked a longer format, but I really like that the story is in and out. I don’t think we need to have all of the stories from like Phase One to Endgame told. Just give me a taste of this world; and let me go write my fan fiction to fill in the rest. Like Fury’s Big Week is just my FAVORITE. So many possibilities. Can you believe in my mind the Avengers are Carol, Steve, Jane Thor, T’Challa, Wong, and the Xu Family. Best line up ever!! I also fear that if they had done longer formats, they would’ve done less of them. And I think that would have not benefited the side characters which are now getting more focus.

YAAAAAAAH

Nope. But she does have a brief cameo in X-Men dark phoenix. And there was talk that Taylor Swift was going to play her for a while. So there was a couple opportunities that got stuck in development hell but nothing came about

TWO WORDS FOR YOU: DISCO. DAZZLER! One of her superpowers is sounds become colors, so just crank that technicolor up to eleven, keep the run time under 2 hours, and have all the fight choreography actually be _choreography_ a la West Side Story. Writing the banger soundtrack will be half the battle, but it’s like RIGHT THERE. (No, I have not spent two years thinking about this.) I have an odd feeling this one will _actually_ be a buddy comedy though. That comic is a riot.

So what did they do? Take a look at Steve Rogers life and decide what if we did it like RENT instead of like South Pacific? I mean I am intrigued. I do think people tend to Neglect them more rock ‘n’ roll aspect of Steve’s life because they’re too busy embracing the Boy Scout. All I know is that if the guardians of the galaxy are getting a holiday special, we can totally get it a Rogers the musical live! (It doesn’t need to be “live”, but they totally should film it that way)

Let’s be honest here, you’d want to kiss him regardless of the outfit. 😂😂😂 So no. We’re not getting a pass. He doesn’t get a pass. Simu doesn’t get a pass. Aldis doesn’t get a pass. Did none of them ever hear you’re not supposed to wear white after Labor Day?!?

okay few the gays showed up (I also really love this:

It’s been TWO YEARS and y’all have the audacity to show up in these basic outfits!? The category is Met Gala, not Oscar red carpet!!!

So, no joke. I think Matt Fraction and David Aja's Hawkeye MIGHT be one of my favorite, if not favorite, modern comic book runs. Period. It's funny, emotional, hits all the right beat, the art is UH-MAZ-IN'. Kate is MY GIRL. It's one of the reasons I so vehemently hate MCU Clint Barton. That's just **not** Clint Barton. (It also didn't help that only Ultimates Clint has a family, and in Ultimates they're brutally murdered by Natasha, so I spent all of AOU the first time waiting for Joss to fridge the family. Not a fun movie going experience. Really still hate that movie! Anyway) So when this first started all of those 'Nope, God This is Gonna Be Paaaain' Feelings Emerged. THEN!! TRACK SUIT MAFIA!!! KATE!!!! CLINT GETTING BEAT UP WITH FROZEN VEG PACKS!! LUCKY!! CHASES IN MUSCLE CARS!! THEM WALKING INTO SOMETHING STYLISH -- AND THEM GOING OFF A HIGH THING INTO WATER!!! I was like Dare I Dream? That is So? Are they FINALLY putting Hawkeye on Screen? Like, Jeremy Renner is still the worst, but I've watched the trailer five times, so, make of that what you will. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN WITH THIS, OKAY. OKAY. OMFG. I'm just gonna C&P my live reaction from the Telegram Chat: Also as someone who literally entertained myself during the COVID Marvel drought through at least 500k-750k of “What If MCU Characters All Work in Holllywood/Entertainment Field and Steve is basically Gene Kelly?" AUs, this is a really big fucking deal. Am just soo deeply offended that (1) whoever they casted Steve is really fucking ugly** (2) Why is it not “a new Alan Menken” musical? How dare you how dare you not make that in-joke!!*** ** My friend was like "Well clearly MCU Mr. Plattt fired everyone else so his son could have the role. *** I also wonder if they’re just gonna play Star Spangled Man With A Plan again or if we’re going to get treated to another Anderson-Lopez song 🤔🤔 So is Disney not producing the musical in Canon in the MCU because that is not Disney production quality. 😂😂 what are those costumes? Omgggg is it a flop? Except the Chitaur iLeotards actually kind of look amazing. I also better see ALL OF THESE COSTUMES at SDCC 2022 complete with reenactments on the Stairs!!! I am so confused and intrigued. I mean I suspect based on the tone of the show/comics it’s gonna end up being Clint Takes His Kids it Has to sit awkwardly through a terrible production of it. (Since he is clearly in it on the balcony). If that’s the case then they better sell me a terrible production. I want Spider-Man turn off the dark!! I wonder if Jeremy Renner was like I can provide my own vocals. I was in a band once. Remember that phase of my life And the Lunt just KILLS ME since there is where they film EVERYTHING. So I want to know if this premiered BEFORE OR AFTER Bombshell (Smash) and Eleanor: The Musical! (Prom)

BRB crying.

@Porthos I have a parking lot report. We are all fulll!! and this matters cause I am at the Drive In seeing Free Guy/Shang Chi

Whhhy? I'd rather it be like Venom and 90 minutes.

@Ryaner90 had been theadbanned for 24 hours for driving Mel Brooks’ “I hope for the best, expect the worst” train into Troll Town.

I am absolutely here for this. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer musical.

Both when we did china, we used to do a “extra” pick insane something didn’t get released. @chasmmi I don’t see why CAn’t do that here.

I was literally coming in here to make that joke. Though he probably could just use archival footage.Though he probably could just use archival footage.

@Borobudur Dear Sir, The tracking thread is an immense resource of this board. And the people in this thread who post numbers do it voluntarily and on their own time. Please do not insult them by implying what they do is a waste of time. Tracking lower number movies is incredibly useful in the long run. Since not everything is going to behave like a big Marvel Event Movie. You have also been banned from the thread for two weeks.

The Best part of this movie is I have spent the past week thinking about Wenwu/Ying Li live happily ever after/no fridging AUs. They are so good. Their love is so strong.

As a bit of MODERATION, I would like to emphasize this point. Maybe it’s just cause I read a lot of your posts, but it can be pretty easy to read between the lines. And thus, it can be easy to infer the story based on your reactions. Like if @Eric and the Ten Rings came out of Dune saying “this was the worst movie ever” I would probably be like “so either Timmy dies or has no screen time.” So going forward I would really encourage folks to use and abuse that spoiler tag when talking about speculations. It might sound overzealous, but Some folks really want to go in blind. And we should try and respect that. Thanks! And PS. If you’re on your mobile, turn the phone to landscape and that’s when the spoiler tag will pop up as an option in the header bar!

Lol no, hon. I didn’t mean it like that. I meant that within the story is a 14 minute ballet that doesn’t “advance the plot/story” and the film still feels tight, complete, and satisfying. Every celluloid frame of that movie is perfect, and I will defend all of it to the death. 😂 Just saying: I don’t buy into “longer is better” at all.

Singing in The Rain is the greatest movie of all time and it clocks in at 102 minutes. So, no. ETA: And that includes a 14 minute ballet sequence. So it’s really about 88 minutes.

thhhhhiiis Is Interesting. Cause I was just about To say I felt like I watched the whole movie.

EXCUSE YOU THAT IS JESSE ST JAMES
