Like this idea, which strangely had never occurred to me before, could (in the right hands) be my most favored MCU project yet. The Moore and Delano runs on Captain Britain and then up through the end of Davis's solo run on Excalibur are some of my favorite comics ever.

I re-watched Spider-Man: Homecoming last night (second time seeing it) and I think -- to the extent that ranking these things matters, which is "not at all" -- it's a top five out of all of these. Skips the origin story, ties in well into the other movies, a villain with understandable motives and who isn't the victim of some experiment gone wrong, ace performances from all involved. And a lot happens in it! But it never feels overstuffed. Like so many of these characters, Peter is often a victim not of the bad guys, but his own overconfidence and hubris -- but it's an understandable, youthful hubris. He's 15, and this is the one thing he's really good at aside from school, and it's much more rewarding; why not concentrate on it, and why not try to go big time? That's how kids think!
The whole segment from when Peter first shows up at Liz's house and Keaton answers the door, to when he gets out of the car in front of the school, is so great. A lot of good "eye acting" from Holland and Keaton, and I love that it's Liz's mention of the "Stark internship" that gets her father suspicious.

it's a top five out of all of these
the last 30-40 mins felt really draggy to me
there's a weird buildup to the homecoming then it only gets five minutes screentime
overall it's great though. it's overlong but it's a great hangout movie so length = more time with fun characters

karl urban would be a great captain britainor wolverineor almost any male superhero tbhHe's already had a sizable role in the MCU, it'd be a bit weird if they recast him as someone else. Tho they did do that with Alfre Woodard, but her earlier role was fairly minor.
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 05:43 (five years ago) link
Nah just give him multiple roles like Jack Nicholson in Mars Attacks
― Chuck_Tatum, Tuesday, 25 September 2018 06:35 (five years ago) link
Chris Evans is on film as the Human Torch and Captain America. They could probably start recasting the same actor in different roles and by now few would notice. Especially someone like Urban, who does a pretty good job disappearing. That is, that the same guy that can play Bones in Star Trek can play various heavies in the MCU or otherwise is pretty impressive. Acting!

Fantastic Four =/= MCU! At least not before now. Since the Fox acquisition I expect a watchable MCU FF movie at some point down the road.

Oh hey so I slept on it way too long but I'm happy to report (halfway through the season thus far) that Cloak and Dagger is actually better than some of the Netflix shows. So, y'know, check it out.

Consistent, focused, compelling characters, well-acted, etc. It might actually help that there isn't a capital-v Villain per se (the big bads are a crooked cop and Roxxon, basically).

I thought season 2 of Iron Fist was much improved (I mean, how could it not be), but this is still at least maybe three times as good.

I watched the Cloak & Dagger pilot and was immediately put off by "Hey, attempted rape as a character motivation/plot point AGAIN" thing. I'm so sick of it. It's what made me not watch Bates Motel after seeing it happen to Vera Farmiga in the pilot.

Writers, there are other ways to push your female protagonists to their crisis points without raping them. See if you can think of some!

Shang-Chi film announced. Figured he would eventually pop up among the Netflix crew but, uh, it sound like all them shits are being cancelled.

Surprising choice but if they channel the Moench/Gulacy years I'm all for it. Presumably any Sax Rohmer characters would be renamed.

Many shots of a trainer hustling his buns off while shakes stands on the sidelines rolling his eyes and then walks directly up to the trainer and emphatically rolls his eyes to make sure the gesture wasn't somehow overlooked.

Two Namor omnibi announced in quick succession got my spidey sense tingling and sure enough, rumors are circulating that Marvel has the rights again and a film may be afoot.
At least part of the upcoming slate has to be dropping right after Endgame, as a multitude of projects are seemingly well underway with few/no official announcements beyond Spider-Man: Far From Home. Like I just read a thing that Dr. Strange 2 may be released next year, which has to mean that they've at least started filming.
