Marvel Cinematic Universe thread: Another thread bites the dust - Film, Television and Music

all I hear is agrfgarfslurpgarfwhedonomyomyomomyomyomyomygarfgarf If there's a point in there, he's not making it.

Finally, after teasing the clip two different places. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QL74Lx6WD8

I'm loving Thor in the background just chilling eating and I'm assuming drinking beer.

Full clip, including the end: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Ftime_continue%3D73%26v%3D9QbltzIUV6w%26fbclid%3DIwAR1loTS6t01jjWWY6t6FenG54xJ46tkGbSN4_PhKR7hoAz79nNMafWfzcWg&h=AT1JVxkgHYykv9UrTc8ZVkdSvE0mxyrimvSRvK8ux8R3LUVqBXkYuwqwPj30JnHqTV8U9U2AGti9oZmXCmqVygv0yepCVkb38kVA6PBQIfs6D5-TwtGbTGfgCJ1PnG_NF4qW

Language Cap!

I don't know what it was about the way that clip ended, but I got some Seal Team 6 vibes. Like the Avengers are gonna bust into Thanos' farm, shoot him in the face, dump his body in the ocean, and find a bunch of pirated anime and hentai visual novels on his shitty computer.

[The Avengers bust into Thanos' farm, successfully removing the Gauntlet from him after a long battle. Several of the Avengers begin to corner him.] Captain America: What did it cost, Thanos? [Thanos looks to the side, and sees Rocket Raccoon throwing out his computer with his hentai collection over a cliff.] Thanos: ...Everything. https://media1.tenor.com/images/afe33c0e36fc60efc5a92d4041b34ef1/tenor.gif?itemid=12451013

Although the new IM suit looks way better than the one from Infinity War, I REALLY miss when he wore an actual suit and it looked more tank-like than a 2-inch thick one-piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BhPI04PTZw

I love RDJ but I feel like his star power kinda negatively impacted the movies from a visual sense. Like, the first two Iron Man movies had him in the physical suit pretty much every time a CGI model wasn't explicitly necessary, but then you get into later stuff like Civil War and Infinity War where he's just like https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/241798/3d01d811-33f8-462f-94ae-c9e9edd5c3dd/image.png dude gets paid like $40 mil to be a floating head for 80% of his screentime.

One place(s) you can legit ding marvel's train is visual fidelity and yeah that's pretty ironic for series based on comics. One place willem's complaints are legit is color grading and contrast, and contrary to his supposition the reason they're doing it that way is not visual concistency but rather they have 4000 vfx shots to do in two years amongst fourteen different compnaies, and while yes those would be better served with practical effects, as we've seen in Winter Soldier, in fairness Downey's instance he asked for them to make a lighter suit and their answer was no suit at all.

well, there's cap still doing comunity service. although on video.

https://screenrant.com/x-men-mcu-not-joining-long-time/ Phase 4 expected to be a 5 year project, X-Men are currently not considered.

Good, the X-Men are a large group that need to be introduced slowly. Just having mutants all of a sudden wouldn't work out.

Pretty clearly says they already know Xmen is money in the bank and want to exploit other avenues into overprofitability before committing anything to them. Not necessarily a bad idea either, frankly three of the go to characters/properties in MCU right now including the two flagships had been hot garbage for a while before being resurrected by the movies. The Xmen never had that problem until '95 so there is a shit ton of material to mine compared to most.

If they properly drip feed the characters in, I'm okay with that. Man I really wish Hugh Jackman had a small cameo or something in Endgame, the man deserves it.

Goddamn they're clever. The X-Men are hype enough to completely refuel the tank, so they're gonna wait until their current slate of movies start to decline in popularity, then boom, "break glass in case of imminent profit loss". Everyone's always been like "oh how are they gonna introduce the X-Men and mutants when there aren't mutants" like it's some major hurdle, but it's always seemed really obvious to me. Just say that mutations are getting crazy in modern times (possibly as an evolutionary response to the rise of the modern superhero). Whereas it used to be maybe one person in a billion would get something remarkable like ESP or a healing factor, now it's becoming more and more common that teenagers can fire lasers from their eyes and control the weather. Have Xavier and Magneto running the X-Men like a Men in Black style operation, where they respond personally to mutant threats that would end really badly otherwise, recruiting wayward mutants for the school and mind-wiping everyone who sees something they weren't meant to see. Now with all kinds of crazy shit happening, the writing's on the wall and they feel that maybe it's time for mutants to go public. Only Charles views it from the perspective of "well they're cool with Spider-Man and Hulk, maybe they can be cool with us", whereas for Erik it's "homo-sapians can level the playing field now, no time like the present to rise up before they finally crack that super-soldier formula and realize they can subjugate us with ease". Bing, bang, boom; X-Men.

A Magneto who is not a Holocaust victim ought to be interesting.

Just say he is but he also has a weird latent mutation that makes him age slower. "Gee magneto, it's convenient that you are slower. Why you seem like you're just the same age as any of us."

https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/951/2a8b54c7-bf6d-47b2-aa54-92c5e6e5a289/image.png Paul Rudd is a legend

What should I know about Ant Man 2 before watching Avengers 4?

Shame they already avast Paul Rudd as Ant-Man

Minor/Vague Spoilers: The Post Credits sequence is important, as it sets up something related to the Quantum Realm that will likely be utilized in A4 and it also shows some more characters getting snapped.

You should watch it, as, like the first one, it is a highly enjoyable movie. Also has the most wholesome relationship with an ex and her new husband I've ever seen. (Mmm, Magneto as a survivor of the Rwandan genocides; what do you think?)

the credits scene is the only required viewing, but the film itself isn't bad. ant man and the wasp spoilers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QPUnFfv_bk

I know Trevor's Zamboni of Death and the Hulk bursting from the Hulkbuster are toys that were used to market the film but not part of the movie, but I have my doubts about this one. Setting the spoiler level to Blackwatch Plaid https://imgur.com/a/pQADvj4

Well, it's right handed. If this isn't legit then it's still a cool addition if you have both.

I mean, it would fit with the supposed 'Stark Gauntlet' leaks but yeah obviously take it with a grain or two of salt

So tony is going to use his stark gauntlet 2.0 infinity edition and give it to professor hulk who will lose his left arm because of the gauntlet and the battle with thanos? based on the leaks that's what seems like will be the case if any of this hardcore speculation has any basis of truth. The thanos battle is what I'm looking forward too most tbh

https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/hawkeye-series-jeremy-renner-disney-plus-1203183398/ Kind of clickbait, it's about Clint handing the mantle to Kate.

In all fairness, practical suits need to work really well for actors to feel comfortable and actually deliver the performance that is expected from them. they often end up being a huge pain in the ass for everyone if you need to waste 4 hours a day just putting it on and off(plus actually having to wear it all day long) - same as the makeup needed for prosthetics. at the rate ironman's tech was improving in the story and how agile he was becoming while wearing it, it was obvious that an actual practical suit wasn't going to be able to keep up with the action sequences needed from it. maming the suit ligther by means of making it simpler would had not been the same, nor would had the same visual impact a CGI one would have.
