It's be way harder to drop Kang, or at least Majors as Kang, if they hadnt. Quantumania's initial ending has lil-Ant-Man/Stature forming the Young Avengers to rescue her dad, right? I think that's significantly easier to write off by just demoting Kang from "lord of the multi-versal Avengers crossover" to Teen Titans villain. But for the real world marketing campaign, that's pretty much in keeping with how plenty of post-credit teases actually get resolved.

It sounds like there were 3: The ending they used in the movie The ending that leaked via HOH device subtitle leaks, where they're trapped A third ending where they're trapped and Kang escapes and MODOK betrays them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Been less than a week and nobody is talking about Kang/Majors. Shows how little of an impact he made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sckathian Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I think there are just a lot of ‘fan’ (content shovelers) making things up based on faint rumours/fan speculation. Though I could see an exec looking at the demographics and saying “we need more kids watching! Where are all the kids!?” And thinking kids want to watch kids. Young Avengers is crippled in this format anyway. They will all be adults in the universe before they even build them across multiple films to have a single Young Avengers film. The other issue is as far as I can tell there are no young men for these young avengers so far? I think it’s more likely that over time there have just been characters with children being introduced and growing up so people have created this in their heads. Kamala was not introduced for YA but for X Men ultimately it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because it was absolutely fucking awful and the worse thing an actor can do - utterly annoying. No one cares about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily see all of DC / Marvel movies underperforming, if they are still releasing half baked movies with shitty scripts by then.

Liiviig 1998 Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally prefer they just recast. I don't like the idea that they'd change the storyline over one actor. It's too reactionary. And we keep hearing all these "reports" and I'm sure some of them are true but it's beginning to just be noise at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderByte Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Yeah the Majors thing has been discussed all year, and it kept boiling down to "if he's found guilty they'll probably drop him immediately", and then exactly that happened. Really there's nothing to speculate about with Avengers 5 since the only confirmed cast member just got dropped and they haven't (publicly) gotten a new director either, and it's coming at soonest in 2026 (and, let's face it, as soon as Spidey 4 gets a date everything else is getting delayed anyways since that's happened with literally every single one so far) Edited December 24, 2023 by SpiderByte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryMovieMogul Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Really enjoying this season of "What if..." so far, if only for the Jingle All the Way reference in today's Christmas episode. Also, noticed an Elf, The Santa Clause, and obviously several Die Hard references. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderByte Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 A clip already out for What If Season 3! Hopefully it's not as long a wait between seasons as between 1 and 2 then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hades Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The Season 2 finale of What If was almost as bad as Secret Invasion finale....Just fan fic nonsense on screen Hela in the show is great though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I don't need to rush to watch the series. Got it. I'm currently finally starting Season 3 of Upload on Amazon and have a few other series before I get to this one...but if it was great, I might have moved it up...but it sounds like it's not...

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.

WittyUsername Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I like to think 2025 will either be the year where superhero movies get a second wind or the year they officially die out. No in-between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
