Stop reviving!!! Build a proper new foundation with the X-men and F4 and nurture it well.
“One person familiar with the script permutations says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead, a bizarre idea considering that the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board.”
What in the fuck?
Seems that South Park episode was closer to the truth than I thought.
The Infinity Saga was so good. Shame that Phases 4 and 5 have been such a let down outside of like half of WandaVision, Loki, and Guardians 3.
Reviving? Of all the things you can take from the comics this is the absolute worst.
I wonder how many hundreds of millions they’re offering Downey to return?
Well, if Variety is writing about it, then it’s official that the MCU’s best days are behind.
Do Marvel not understand that the reason their early movies were beloved was the cast? Downey, Evans and the others had undeniable chemistry, charm, and massive audience goodwill. The remaining cast all look like they suffer from chronic constipation
Cast a new actor and get going on the new Kang/Secret Wars storyline, and stop it with the crap sequels and TV shows. Nobody wants those.
F Antman and Wasp. Nobody born after 1984 cares about them.
Guardians is done. Story is old news now. Boring.
Bye bye Scarlet Witch. Nobody’s favourite comic book character.
Goodbye second string heros in general.
Kill off Captain Marvel and bring on Rogue and a new X-Men cast.
Bring on Silver Surfer, Kang, Galactus, etc etc and let’s start fresh.
Time for the X-Men to save the universe.
Introduce Fantastic 4 properly one last time.
There. Problem solved.
How did they fuck it up so bad?
>As public criticism mounts, Feige is pulling the plug on scripts and projects that aren’t working. Case in point: the “Blade” reboot. With Mahershala Ali signed on for the eponymous role of a vampire, things looked promising for a 2023 release date. But the project has gone through at least five writers, two directors and one shutdown six weeks before production. One person familiar with the script permutations says the story at one point morphed into a narrative led by women and filled with life lessons. Blade was relegated to the fourth lead, a bizarre idea considering that the studio had two-time Oscar winner Ali on board.
What the hell were/ are they trying to do to Blade?
Here’s how you fix the Blade movie. Make it a direct link to Blade 2. Get Del Toro on board to co-write script, produce, and sign whoever he recommends as Director. The end. Declare war on all suck-heads.
Marvel, *reviving the original Avengers for a cashgrab is NOT what we want.* We ***want*** a new take on the *Fantastic Four* and *X-Men* – something more faithful to the comics, while also being great in and of itself. Do that, and the money’ll print itself. Fuck up an *Avengers 5/6*, and ya could very well be fucked.
Wish they’d just stop for a decade
Don’t worry! Marvels is coming out and there’s no way it’s going to suck! It’ll turn the tides!
Look, personally I think people bitch too much about Marvel movies being bad now. Most of them are just good not great, and don’t make you want to rewatch them. Antman 3, Doctor Strange 2 were good not great. Thor 4 was meh. The Eternals was just too wildly different with no follow up. I think if it wasn’t an MCU movie it would have been received better. Spider-Man No Way Home was amazing, and the best post end game film thus far. Black Panther 2 was good, but the lake of T’Challa was felt, that’s not Marvel’s fault though, they were being respectful by not recasting, even if the best would have been if they did. Guardians 3 was also good, but it didn’t really feel like a guardians movie, it certainly had a much darker tone, which was good for the third one. Then finally Shang-Chi was great, and really felt like it followed the original format of the founding MCU films of simply telling a good story, and then at the end doing a teaser to connect everything.
As for the Disney+ Marvel shows, Ms Marvel was actually pretty good, not great, but certainly good. Moon Knight was good, verging on great. Wanda Vision was excellent. Hawkeye was actually good and fun, and I’d love a second season, although that all depends on Renner’s recovery. Falcon and Winter Soldier was okay, but I kind of felt like you don’t need to watch it, as if you watch end of endgame where Steve gives mantle to Sam, and then see Sam as Cap in Captain America 4 you can easily think ‘yeah that makes sense’ without knowing Sam gave up the shield blah blah. Then of course Loki is the stand out best Marvel series.
I don’t think things are as bad as people claim it is. I know some say they are tired of the multiverse stuff. However, I think bits of Loki, and bits in Antman 3 (even if the latter was poorly executed) have made me excited for how much of a threat Kang could be. Then Doctor Strange 2 and Spiderman No Way Home have made me excited for how the multiverse can be used to do amazing fun things.
I think Marvel needs to continue building to secret wars, and I wouldn’t be shocked if at the end of Kang Dynasty Tony and Steve are brought back alive, or maybe a version of them from different universe. But I think if Marvel really wanted to, they could sort of clean house at end of Secret Wars. Have it so various universes merge and change things. That way they could sort of cut out all the old MCU characters and have them in that universe or timeline, and then any MCU characters they wish to continue they can have in a new universe and then act as a soft reboot and start off things with X-Men.
I think Jonathan Majors is going to be found innocent of the accusations, but unfortunately the well has been poisoned
On the one hand, it’s a cop out and they should have never have “killed off” these characters. On the other hand, it’s the most comic book thing you could do lol
I weep for Photon. She deserves so much better than being ham fisted into this mess. 😞😞
If they’d completely ended the series on Endgame, this saga would have gone out on the highest of high notes, and be regarded as one of the most beloved franchises of all time.
But I suppose that would be too much to ask for in Hollywood.
They should’ve stopped with Endgame, for at least 5-10 years. let it settle.
Endgame felt like a proper end to an overall fun cinematic journey. I agree with the idea of things stopping for a bit after endgame.
Disney: desperately out of ideas
How did the team that put together Thor 3, one of the best products of the MCU, produce Thor 4? That what killed the magic for me
Maybe they can take the lamest fictional characters ever and shove them down our throats even further….
Just stop, please. The MCU had a great run, but it’s over now.
Just recast him, just look at DC, they have a different Batman and Superman every couple years and people don’t seem to care.
They lost me at the second Dr. Strange movie. The well’s gone dry boys. Come up w some new ideas instead of milking the Marvel teat.
I would say the quality of Quantumania would be a bigger concern.
Reviving will only condition an already nostalgic audience to not open new well executed stories w/ open arms.
It’s all in the writing quality, which hasn’t been abundant post Endgame.
Don’t revive the original avengers. Finish out whatever you had left and reboot and when you reboot be like Batman and bond and plan on the roles being replaced
Just bored to death of superhero media in general. Even the “deconstructionist” media.
What Marvel needs to do is a soft relaunch. Forget the multiverse, forget Kang. Get people caring about singular and contained stories for their heroes again. Spider-Man 4, F4, X-Men & Blade is a great lineup, they can easily run the next couple of years through with this before making a new “Avengers” movie.
can they just stop? they’ve done enough damage to movies
