Marvel Cinematic Universe general stuff

So you play the fake news card but are happy to cite "mainstream media" when it suits you.

There's no point in continuing with this. I'm delighted he's gone. The industry doesn't need scum.

Yeah, seems like it isn't as you've clearly gullably taken in the headlines and not even bothered to read the whole article you originally quoted, which states exactly what I've been saying:

A headline of "Majors found not guilty of intentionally assaulting then-girlfriend" is as dumb, yet accurate, as one that you posted. It isn't a nefarious media plot, headlines are short and people, including you, like easy answers and narratives - especially with entertainment news like this.

Like I've said before, you're entitled to your opinion of him, the guy doesn't sound great. You opinion is however based on your feelings due to headlines you've read rather than what the jury in this court case decided. The jury didn't believe the evidence at the core of the prosecution case and the statements of the victim.

I don't think following Thanos was a problem itself, moreso how underwhelming they wrote Kang.

Thanos had little screen time before "his" 2 main films, but when he did appear you got the picture; this guy will be a huge problem.

Compare that to Quantamania and the Conquerer is more or less singlehandedly dealt with by Ant Man....after all his talk about easily besting The Avengers across time to the point he can't even put a name to their face. It just didn't make sense.

To drive home the point I actually thought Loki handled him much better and more importantly, completely differently. It's all about writing for me, and they absolutely botched Kang in the one key film that they couldn't afford to get wrong. It was so bad I don't think this will even be much of a problem for Marvel if they just dropped the character.

Which isn't a good thing, because Kang can be an all time threat, and they got it wrong.

Marvels approach to Kang/the multiverse has generally been disappointing, because it feels like they’ve been playing it pretty safe. It’s just another thing to replace the infinity stones for the 616 heroes to deal with that allows for some cheap fan service.

Would have preferred to see them branch out and tell stories outside of 616 that would all build together for the Secret Wars.

Kang could have been introduced in another universes heroes film - a film where he actually wins and demonstrates exactly how much of a threat he is to the multiverse.

Instead he’s been beaten twice and to just have him keep coming back just because already feels a bit cheap. The more I think about it the more I think it’s probably better to just move on to F4/Dr Doom.

This would have been the smart thing to do in hindsight, and it would have also alleviated the pressure somewhat of trying to introduce too many new things into a well established universe.

A Multiverse handled well like how you outlined, would have meant never having to ever worry about doing a reboot. Maybe they can still salvage that.

Wyatt Russell is saying the ThunderBolts will start filming in March/April.

My 5 year old is gone big into Groot since seeing the short Groot series on Disney. Anyone know if there's other GOTG/Groot stuff that's suitable for that age? The Christmas special is 12's so sounds a bit old. Would be cool if there was a kids cut of the Marvel films.

Thanks but more looking for suitable Marvel than just shorts.

I have to say I take issue with a Disney committee creating new marvel superhero character (Tahhori). It's not about whether the character is good or not, but there's something impure about it. If they got an established marvel comics writer (preferably native American) to create a character I'd be much more agreeable, but I do feel they should be limited to using established characters from the comics. At least with regard to superheroes.
