[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;53159679]I was talking about Killmonger[/QUOTE] Oh I thought he was pretty weak tbh, why do you think he was good?

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;53159683]Oh I thought he was pretty weak tbh, why do you think he was good?[/QUOTE] Because he wasn't "evil for the sake of being evil" like so many other MCU villains. Much like Zemo and Loki, he had a personal drive from deep background story to do the actions he did. Unlike say, Red Skull or Hela who just wanted "more power" or Yellowjacket that just wanted money. That is low-hanging fruit for character drives and is just piss-poor writing. [editline]25th February 2018[/editline] Though his 'powers' and outfit were a mirror of Black Panther, he wasn't a villain that was "the hero, but a bad guy version of it" like in the first Ironman film, the second Ironman film, Antman, Hulk, or Dr Strange. On top of that, there was a logical reason for him to resemble the Black Panther as well. [editline]25th February 2018[/editline] I'm not saying he's the best villain in all the MCU, but right from the start he surpassed majority of them in character.

Additionally, for how great they make Wakanda seem, Killmonger points out its glaring flaw [sp]in that despite all its technology and prowess, it had selfishly only looked after it's own people while, throughout history, the rest of the continent struggled (T'chaka's abandonment of Killmonger as a child can easily be seen as an allegory of Wakanda to the 'children of Africa' or however you want to put it). Killmonger wanted the rest of the world to pay for its transgression against Africa and her people by using Wakandan technology to dominate the world. Killmonger's methods were wrong, but it allowed T'challa to rethink Wakanda's foreign policy and now build bridges as opposed to walls. The best villains are usually ones that strengthen heroes by causing them to grow; Killmonger does that for Black Panther.[/sp]

I liked yellowjacket. That man just drove into madness due to the consequences of the suit if I recall. With Killmonger they have the interest to take his viewpoint enough in the film. And the guy from Civil War which name I don't remember is nice too, kind of sad to find a man like him, I find these quite understandable. However I think people believe too much that the point of a superhero film is to understand a villain when the focus can be in any other things. Take GoTG, who gives a damn about that MiniThanos if the focus is on the crew.

With Black Panther, can I just say how refreshing it is to have a MCU hero actually act straight-faced and take things seriously the majority of the film? Feels like forever since we've had that.

I'd prefer him for Doctor Octopus, honestly. With Matthew McConnaughy as Green Goblin.

I think Mark Hamill could make a pretty good Magus or another ancient to join the ranks of the Collector and Grandmaster. That being said I'd be totally fine with him also being Doc Ock.

Everybody is talking about how much they'd like him as Ock and now I'm going to be really upset when that doesn't happen. :saddowns:

I could see him as Norman Osborn

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;53162623]I could see him as Norman Osborn[/QUOTE] I couldn't, but I would support it so that he can put his voice acting talents to good use when he puts on the mask.

[QUOTE=Reds;53162641]I couldn't, but I would support it so that he can put his voice acting talents to good use when he puts on the mask.[/QUOTE] He voiced the Hobgoblin in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon, so it's not too much of a stretch

I want Mark as Mysterio. Or just Mysterio. At all...

Nah, Bruce Campbell should be Mysterio

They'd probably lampshade his appearance in The Last Jedi.

We find out that Quentin Beck was an extra in all the modern Disney Star Wars movies and got upset after Kathleen Kennedy tells him that he's going to be replaced with a CGI character voiced by Alan Tudyk. [editline]27th February 2018[/editline] [QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;53162623]I could see him as Norman Osborn[/QUOTE] He'd need to get seriously ripped and maybe get some of that de-aging tech for his face; Norman is like a shrewd, cold businessman and Mark Hamill is just too huggable. They'd need to find a way for him to look downright gaunt.

He could certainly voice the goblin. But i dont think he could play him

I just hope Hamill's role is larger than a cameo. He's underrated in the live-action department.

[QUOTE=-Ben_Wolfe-;53164723]I just hope Hamill's role is larger than a cameo. He's underrated in the live-action department.[/QUOTE] If they hadn't cast most of the original Guardians already I would've liked him to be one. I guess he could be an old Vance Astro?

So, Jame Gunn just confirmed on twitter that Baby Groot is actually the son of the original Groot, and that the original Groot did in fact die in the first movie. Predictably, people are up in arms, despite the fact that this completely fits with everything we already know.

He also confirmed the Groot in infinity war isn't a teenager, but an adolescent

So Black Panther was cool but uh, is [sp] BP's father meant to come across as anything but an incompetent clown who completely fucked everything up? Not to mention being a total dickhead leaving his nephew alone like that simply due to government policy. [/sp]

[B]or did someone fuck groot[/B][/QUOTE] Considering the Milano is a Jackson Pollack painting under blacklight, perhaps he's really Quill's son. [editline]28th February 2018[/editline] Actually, that Milano was destroyed, fuck.

When is the next trailer estimated to drop? [editline]1st March 2018[/editline] For the avengers

Maybe The Untitled Deadpool Sequel will have it?

Well shit, that's cool.
