This sounds good, but about the villain part, most of the MCU villains sucking doesn't instill much confidence. Will be good to see some new faces, you could write some good shit with Mysterio and Chameleon team up.
As far as the John Hughes vide, I guess I'll take it?
Yeah well having to make a international film is gonna keep characters like Red Skull sanitized to what you got in Cap 1. I didn't expect the full on super racist master of all evil red skull that tried to kill his own daughter and was a pure white supremacist. Red Skull without the hate is just a generic mad man (that will even bomb the Germans!..right)...But hopes are higher for Baron Zemo since he is more of an ego maniac.
I hold out hope for a more Kree progress focused Ronan since there is a whole line of them and Corps of Accusers, that version of him fit GoTG though. However, an Accuser that is obsessed with one planet...Xandar at that is too small for the Kree Accusers who are concerned with empowering the kree, growing the empire, and protecting the empire. 800 + worlds and Ronan is obsessed with Xandar which will be crushed in due time by..hell draw a name out of a hat. Small time job for Ronan
Loki and Malekith , neutered because its "tech" not majik.....no one would care if they totally flip flopped and wen LoTR either, its just a meh why? Remember the magic is just science! Chriiiiiiiiist can I have my Journey Into Mystery now please? You know with asgardians that have a natural affinity for majik, badass dwarves in master crafted armor, Balder, Tyre , Kelda, Brunhilde, Ulik, Alfheim...why don't you want this money Marvel?
Ultron was interesting but that was the older batshit insane version that was more expressive. Later on he became the cold calculating , get the job done version that more people identify with , cold , quick to kill and not give a fuck. In the end..thats Whedon's style he can't do complete despair and devoid of person type shit he must be scared of the concept.
Whiplash was a waste of film but the drones and Hammer were great, Stane was great until they had to quickly wrap up the 1st movie, Aim was a good idea but they were seriously lacking in smarts Shane Black did a good job with Tony Stark in IM 3 but he didn't build up the world around him well, AiM in the films is very low tech for being the largest gathering of evil geniuses. Extremis feats looked silly in some cases, They need a good refresh like Hydra got in Cap TWS. You're number one priority for IM is to get Hammer, Stane and family in the forefront stealing and dealing tech on that open international market. Yes more Hammer and some crazy girlfriends that shoot cheating ex boyfriends In the back.
Cap TWS had great villains TWS is an absolute weapon, Hydra infiltration was critical levels, had the weapons to cause havoc, the issue I have is again, hydra is now a progressive fully affirmative action evil organization...wtf part of their plan is to exterminate the "lower races" , yes that's fucked up, YES that's why they're villains of the worst kind and utterly devoid of a moral center.
Some of this is obvious $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ don't rock the boat good villains aren't a dime dozen maybe that's why we remember the stand out ones.
Hopefully for Spiderman they do someone that truly pushes Peter Parker to the edge not just Spidermans abilities. I'd like Kraven, or maybe Hobgoblin.
