Judging by this (and the rediculous recent Civil War) I'd say someone at Marvel has recently gone insane. I would guess Stan Lee, but he's already completely insane.

I like the Civil War arc. Was funny to see Cap and Iron Man trying to bring him over.

I didn't like it at all, they turned being a super hero into some nazi regime. If you're in any way mutated you must join the 'super police' and fight whenever they tell you, even if you don't have any powers, or you go to jail in the Negative Zone for the rest of your life. And we were supposed to see this as the right choice? :wtc: No wonder a lot of heroes defected to Europe and Canada.

Most of these are gonna suck

The majority of them came back for the oncoming events though.

I liked Civil War :frown:

[QUOTE=tasty-man;22895395]Most of these are gonna suck[/QUOTE] You must have psychic powers.

Deadpool movie better be good.

Deadpool & Venom are all I want. Badly. Spider Man 4..if it's gonna be good and Tobey McGuire is Spider Man.

I'm sure the reboot would be just as good.

I hope they don't fuck up the character of Deadpool in his movie. Wasn't he a mute in Wolverine Origins?

[QUOTE=Erebus.;22905390]I hope they don't fuck up the character of Deadpool in his movie. Wasn't he a mute in Wolverine Origins?[/QUOTE] Pretty sure he was. Which completely destroys the character.

so much x men

[QUOTE=Skidd;22905409]Pretty sure he was. Which completely destroys the character.[/QUOTE] Only at the climax. But don't fret. They will be ignoring the version of Deadpool in Origins.

Ryan Reynolds is like meant to play the role of deadpool, but then again I don't know much about deadpool

I don't read the comics, but I have enjoyed some of the things based on them; in this the films. I will probably eventually see all of these, but I look forward to The Avengers, Captain America, Deadpool, and Iron Man 3 the most.

I dunno about you guys, but I personally can't wait to watch every one of these.

Thor has the most potential to go ass up. I'm looking forward to the Captain America movie, but I can see them majorly fucking it up. X-men origins should just fucking die, and Hugh Jackman take his fucking ladle out of the honey pot, and go back to being an actor.

I really hope they don't fuck up Deadpool in his movie. Breaking the fourth wall is needed.

[QUOTE=Cl0cK;22906190]I really hope they don't fuck up Deadpool in his movie. Breaking the fourth wall is needed.[/QUOTE] Oh yes, he will probably will. Would be interesting to see how they do it though!

Wait a sec...How can captain America's movie be set in world war 2 when the avengers movie is set is present say? Does he not age or something?

[QUOTE=darcy010;22918631]Wait a sec...How can captain America's movie be set in world war 2 when the avengers movie is set is present say? Does he not age or something?[/QUOTE] He was frozen in a block of ice. And was thawed out by the Avengers.

Aren't they also working on Mass Effect?

No, Legendary Studios is handling the project. But, Avi Arad , former CEO of Marvel Studios, will be executive producing.

Well is Disney running the scene here? They after all own a part of Marvel

[QUOTE=Rong;22919109]He was frozen in a block of ice. And was thawed out by the Avengers.[/QUOTE] Oh god... And I had high hopes for the Avengers as well. Except for maybe Thor. What kind of super hero has no powers only a magic hammer? Crazy stuff.

Oh my god yes, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I am also excited for The Avengers.

I'm really interested in Iceman, he's actually an omega class superhero, he just never taps into the full potential of his powers. :( He's probably really fucking badass at full power.
