Russo Bros were in Cleveland for Wizard World a couple of weekends ago. I didn't go but a friend of mine did, and went to their panel. They're talking about coming back here again for shooting Avengers: Infinity War, and one of the locations they're discussing is literally a two minute walk from my house.

I thought it had been confirmed quite a long time ago that Spidey was going to be in the new Cap movie.
― Anus The Untouchable (Old Lunch), Thursday, 10 March 2016 17:59 (eight years ago) link
Might have been! Maybe the surprise was just that he ended up in the trailer.
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 10 March 2016 18:03 (eight years ago) link
Haven't they confirmed, like, 50 superheroes for Infinity War? How many are we up to so far, across the various films?

This movie is totally going to end with Thanos watching earth in his little whatever, laughing, and saying something like "what a bunch of fools, let them fight while my evil plan finally comes together!"

The three Iron Man movies and Ant-Man didn't have existential threats to humanity, just some corrupt arms dealers. Neither did Guardians of the Galaxy, technically, though I guess existential threat to another planet than Earth isn't really that different?
― Tuomas, Friday, 11 March 2016 09:44 (eight years ago) link
the norton hulk movie didn't either.
― ripple-chested beefchrist (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 11 March 2016 10:23 (eight years ago) link
Nor did the first Thor movie.
― Tuomas, Friday, 11 March 2016 10:28 (eight years ago) link
So, "every one of these movies" = 5 of the 12 movies released so far.

Still, a failure to heed the wise words of Nigel Kneale:
"I didn't want to go on repeating because Professor Quatermass had already saved the world from ultimate destruction three times, and that seemed to me to be quite enough."

Constant threat escalation has been probably the main narrative problem in Marvel's comics for the past decade or so. It's hard to maintain a range of tones when you're always all BLACK BLACK BLACKER EVEN BLACKER NOW IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. I'm hoping that Secret Wars has lanced that boil for a while and that Infinity War will do likewise for the MCU. I assume that most of the individual character movies in the ramp-up will feature fewer world-demolishing threats.
― Going To Town On Aunt May's Mezze Platter (Old Lunch), Friday, 11 March 2016 13:43 (eight years ago) link
afaict from the trailers there's no existential threat to humanity in this very picture right here. it's about ~friendship~ man.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Friday, 11 March 2016 19:51 (eight years ago) link
I was going to say that this movie appears to be about the fallout of living through escalating existential threats to humanity rather being about a threat in and of itself but it seemed like everyone involved was really enjoying the conversation

surely DC's guilty of this too?

who is doing spidey's voice there?
― ulysses, Friday, 11 March 2016 20:03 (eight years ago) link
xpost Yes, DC is definitely guilty of that, too, but I'd argue that their main narrative problem is not knowing what the fuck they're doing.
Spidey's voice is presumably Tom Holland, no?

I'm going to be sorely disappointed if they don't manage to sneak in at least one instance of Cap accusing Stark of feeding the rich while he buries the poor, or Hawkeye exclaiming, "Ain't that fresh."

funnily enough i rescreened this again recently and it's fine - didn't like it as much as i did upthread but it does a good job of keeping a lot of characters moving and it's got some cool moments
ledge's point about enhanced folks slugging each other at the climax is fair but i still much prefer the small, personal nature of the conflict to yet another 'gotta close the portal in the sky!' finale

oh and the fight choreography is fkn rad, even if there is a bit too much of it
i didn't love it but it's still fine. i don't really get why tony and steve *have* to fight at the end, it's all too idiot plot
but iron man 2 is still the only flat-out bad marvel movie, i think.
