Only thing I want is Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool moving forward.
toby maguire appearing at some point down the libe as an experienced spidey mentor figure would make me lose my shit
And here I was entertaining the idea of Toby as Uncle Ben
and keep Josh Brolin as Cable
Have Deadpool ask what it felt like to have Ant-Man up his ass.
If you've already seen the films before, watch in chronological.
If you haven't, see in release order.
Star Wars Trilogy rules.
California? Where did you get California?
It was literally in Flushing, Queens. AKA, the borough that he's from. And financial situations can change over years, tbh.
My personal experience was watching by release, except for hulk, thor 1 and 2.
Wasn't the Stark Expo in California? Or am I completely and utterly confused and thinking of something else?
Hulk is 100% skippable, but Thor 1 and 2 are mostly required.
Huh, I'll be danged.
I still think it's a stupid idea though. It makes this massive Marvel universe feel so much smaller, just so people can be like "DID YOU KNOW THAT KID WAS REALLY SPIDER-MAN???", even though that wasn't Jon Favreau's original intention, but "DID YOU KNOW SOMEONE AT MARVEL STUDIOS CHANGED THE WIKI SO THAT THAT KID WAS SPIDER-MAN AFTER SPIDER-MAN JOINED THE MCU???" isn't as impressive sounding. It's the same as when you get those clickbait articles that are like "KEVIN FEIGE SAYS SHURI IS 10X SMARTER THAN TONY STARK AND HANK PYM COMBINED" or "RUSSO BROTHERS CONFIRM HULK CAN PUNCH HARDER THAN CAPTAIN MARVEL".
Like, unless it actually plays out on screen it's just imaginary stats and trivia for imaginary people and is therefore less than pointless.
Regarding Hulk in Endgame, what happened to Banner? Did Banner "die" when merging? Cause it seems like Hulk is just extremely smart now which Banner probably gave to him.
It feels kinda sad cause it seems like Banner died.
What? if anything Hulk died. Nah, their personalities merged
Yeah I'm just being dumb.
Thanks guy.
In the post credit to Ironman 2, Coulson discovers Thor's hammer in the desert. So Thor technically should always be after Ironman 2 at the very least.
What do you guys think of this tweet chain

I think I might agree with it
I know this isn't the best place to ask considering it's about the games but I don't know where else to ask.
Are the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games any good?
Been wanting more Marvel after watching the MCU.

Branching off of this, specifically Flushing Meadows Park.
So me and my girlfriend was talking about endgame and she pointed something out I didn’t really think about.
she said she felt really bad for Antman, i asked why and at first I thought she was just going to say because he has missed 5 years of Cassie’s life. But in fact, Scott was in prison too right before Antman 1, so he missed time there. Then he was on house arrest in Antman 2. Fair enough he saw Cassie but couldn’t leave the house. Now he’s missed 5 years too.
That does suck.
It's not wrong but I also always thought that Black Widow was one of the least interesting characters in the franchise. Like, they can't write her for shit. Vormir didn't feel that much for me because I couldn't find myself caring too much for either or. Hawkeye had his family stuff going on for it, I guess, but still. My feelings would have been a resounding "meh" for either one of them.
The ultimate Alliance games are some of my favorite Marvel games. Definatly worth playing
Something for Mass Effect fans:
Vormir is to the Avengers what Virmire is to Shepard and his crew. Both lose a member of their team there.
She makes a lot of assumptions about the writer's intents in the movies she points out. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
Her two major points about Endgame are:
That Nat gets killed off because she is a woman who can't / doesn't have an "traditional" family. Which is bullshit. She is assuming that that and only that is the reason Nat was killed over Clint. If it had been flipped where Nat has the family you know that Clint would've died. It's not about Nat being a woman and is "less valuable" for being one without a family but the fact that Clint's whole motivation is bringing his family back. He showed that he was willing to sacrifice himself to save both his biological family and the one he found in the Avengers. Nat was doing the same and was, in-universe, better than him. So no, her rant here is baseless and is only what she wants to see.
Second is that they didn't honor her death in some way. Laughable is the suggestion to "bury her". But let's look at this for a moment. They get back with the infinity stones, what would they do first? Make the gauntlet or pause for a while to gather a picture of her, light candles, say how much they care for her? The moment they gave to grieving was about the only break they could have that didn't border on the ridiculous. And as for doing it after that point you're going to have to find time during the final battle or shoehorning it into Tony's own scene. It's less of a matter that the writers don't care it's that it kills the pacing of the movie.
Bonus: She goes onto an entire tangent that Clint is racist for going on his rampage because he killed Cartel members and Yakuza. Stating he was killing "bad Mexicans" and "bad Asians" and not white supremacists. Her jumping to level racism screams to me that she either isn't very level-headed, is laser focused in finding racism, or both. Those two groups are pretty much the go-to for assholes that everyone knows. Prioritizing their race in this context tells me she cares more about that than what the people are.
What in the actual fuck, Yeehaw Barton, goddamn what a crock of shit
"Hawkeye is a racist because he kills cartel members and Yakuza while being a white man and also the writers and directors hate women because they killed off a female character"
Lmao, verified Twitter was a mistake.
Because childless women are expendable & undervalued in our society
for a host of misogynistic & patriarchal reasons I’m not getting
into because I’m tired.
Mind you, all signs pointed to Mr. Yeehaw dying. He had went on his
killer racist boy band tour in Mexico to kill a bunch of “bad Mexicans”
and then went to The East to kill a bunch “bad Asians” (not a White
supremacist in SIGHT tho).
What we get is two characters we’ve grown to dislike over the course of
28494949393 movies fight for the right to die. And in this case,
Natasha, our *childless*, bio-family-less super spy fights even *harder*
to die....
yeah no, I'm thinking this person is off their rocker and should get off the social justice drugs.
I don't recall when I last rolled my eyes this far back into my skull
For some reason Professor Hulk gave me a real John C Reilly vibe, specifically Wreck it Ralph
why
