Frankly shocked that a shot of Adam Warlock's birth pod slipped by the censors.

A mission of that scale would require a lot of very special people, but luckily for Marvel, they have a whole team of Super Heroes with them. Those who assembled included Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Paul Rudd, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Pratt, Chadwick Boseman, Brie Larson, Jeremy Renner, Tom Holland, Sean Gunn, Hannah John-Kamen, Zoe Saldana, Angela Bassett, Jon Favreau, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kurt Russell, Danai Gurira, William Hurt, Karen Gillan, Emily VanCamp, Tessa Thompson, Don Cheadle, Dave Bautista, Michael Peña, Anthony Mackie, Evangeline Lilly, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Frank Grillo, Letitia Wright, Laurence Fishburne, Linda Cardellini, Sebastian Stan, Ty Simpkins, Michael Douglas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Benedict Wong, Michael Rooker, Vin Diesel, Cobie Smulders, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jeff Goldblum. Whew! If any super villain had decided to cause trouble right then in Atlanta, they would have been in big trouble.Joining the super team of Marvel actors were filmmakers from the past 10 years of the MCU, including Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Stan Lee, Scott Derrickson, Trinh Tran, Alan Taylor, Brad Winderbaum, Louis Letterier, Jon Watts, Sarah Finn, James Gunn, Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, Joss Whedon, David Grant, Mitchell Bell, Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck, Jeffrey Ford, Peyton Reed, Jonathan Schwartz, Stephen Broussard, Ryan Coogler, Jeremy Latcham, Nate Moore, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Taika Waititi, Erik Carroll, Ryan Meinerding, and Craig Kyle.

Quirky indie actress in the lead
she's a conventionally hot Best Actress winner whose last movie was Kong: Skull Island
Quirky indie director duo
most of their directors come from TV. no one cares.
Weird IP that most people have only heard of because of a totally (ok they’re both women) different character with the same name
Ant-Man was a weirder proposition - again, no one cares. Plus, "fun" music cue potential
Set in the 1990s (before the Avengers Initiative)
they've done this before
Samuel Jackson cameo (with both eyes intact)
no one cares as long as they get their fanboy jollies
Captain Marvel is going to be weird
no

I tease because I love, but you don't see us charging into a thread about some Norwegian experimental film about people eating bread and rolling our eyes about the fact that the bread isn't even pre-sliced and yeah right, like anyone would eat bread without a heaping dollop of Jif.

Man, the MCU is by far the best franchise that exists at the moment. The one to take down is all that Star Wars bullshit.

Frederik B otm.
im looking forward to Black Panther. i've had a good time w every Marvel movie so far, even the forgettable ones. it is good on them to have been able to maintain such a high level of quality across so many films.
other studios do not seem confident in their material, hence all the lamp-shading, all the hyping, all the fascistic consumer propaganda & iconography. we have the constant re-iteration of how important the iconography is. DC/SW films are about collecting action figures. Marvel movies are more in the vein of Big Trouble in Little China.
last Marvel film i saw was GOTG2 at a drive in (it rained through the bit where they were flying in spacepods, which was kind of cool actually) and it was so much fun. the first one is great too. i think the two GOTG movies are worth the entire mess of it and are so far the best of the bunch. GOTG1/2 probably better than any Star Wars since ROTJ.

Yeah there was word about that going around the other day, if not these screenwriter specifics. Presumption is that with the Inhumans having been botched they're switching over to this.

Just work out the X-Men ffs
― albvivertine, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:05 (five years ago) link
The poop is that they may already be making plans for X-characters, in much the same way that they apparently charged headlong into Civil War before the Spidey deal had been finalized.
― The lovely and talented Loretta Switt and the irascible Jamie Farr (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:33 (five years ago) link
Honestly, in 2-4 years, I think the right X-adjacent ensemble storyline to adapt is going to be New Mutants / Alpha Flight style - what do you do when you’re just A superhero, not THE superhero? I’d much prefer that over spending another dime on watching Wolverine or one of his GMO offspring get turned into pasta and then turn back into a person
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 04:03 (five years ago) link
I mean Warlock is a PERFECT way to step up the Groot game. Get H. Jon Benjamin and a vocoder and get it done.

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 04:16 (five years ago) link
I'd crack up if we got an Alpha Flight movie. Just watch, someone is pitching a series to CBS All Access or some other online network right now
New Mutants is coming out this summer! (with Dark Phoenix... Again? in the fall)
― Nhex, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 04:40 (five years ago) link
And I think Warlock is in the New Mutants movie? Young me is very excited, old me is dubious.

Saw 98% of Deadpool 2 today (had to slip out a hair early). It's been a while since I saw a totally plotless movie, but there we go. Obviously wildly indulgent but also sort of surprisingly boring, which both add up to (generously) about 1/10 gags being amusing/funny, which I suppose was to be expected.
