Am I the only one that would have been more stoked for She-Hulk than The Mighty Thor (Jane Foster)?

I am stoked, regardless, don't get me wrong. Just wondering.

There are dozens of Marvel super heroines I'd rather have over the godawful female Thor. Then again, they completely ruined my girl Carol so maybe it doesnt matter all that much in the end.
 
Not hyped for any. I really need to see trailers for many of these before I can even begin to get hyped.

Like many I'm interested in the new Dr. Strange though. The horror angle sounds interesting but at the same time I wonder about that as I can't imagine them making something that's actually scary and while I'm cool with that as an excuse for interesting imagery and tone, it's probably going to be loaded with those (now) cliched stupid twitchy and fast motion effects which have always looked absolutely awful to me. People find them off-putting or something but they look really cheap and comical to me. Course maybe I won't actually have to worry about such things at all. I must wait and see. :messenger_savoring:
 
Wanda Vision and Muliverse of Madness sounds like it could be a spin on House of M, where Strange pulls her out of her made up world and she goes nuts.

I wasn't sold on Black Widow, but that trailer has me all in now.
 
I might catch Black Widow later on but honestly I think capeshit fatigue is starting to hit me pretty hard after Endgame.
 
I will never understand the "fatigue" thing... Especially when all the stories are different. I could understand it with the westerns because they all seemed more of the same... But there's nothing samey about the many different superhero movies... Especially within the last 5 years.
 
As someone who never reads comics but generally had an idea about various heroes and saw Spider-man movies... I think I am emotionally fatigued.

I saw every single MCU since Iron man 2008 and I feel that the story that I followed is complete after End Game. May be I need a year break.

If you say so. The humor is almost identical in all these Marvel movies (Tony Snark) and Infinity War is pretty much the only one that didn't hit all the same story beats as all the others. Of course, then they turned right around and went all oooooooh time travel for Endgame. Which was dumb (I think there are only a handful of good stories with time travel, and Endgame wasn't one of them) but I guess with Disney's tight-ass release schedule and the slate of movies announced for the next eighty years they couldn't really afford to think of something unique there.

I liked Ragnarok, and I liked Guardians 1 and 2, and I like Tom Holland as Spider-Man + Michael Keaton as the Vulture (but I don't really like anything else about the MCU Spidey movies, plus at this point you just know they're going to kill him in another movie or two and replace him with Miles Morales) but everything else to me is just starting to feel like Marvel Movie Glop, squeezed out of a tube with some different colored paint applied.

All just my opinion of course (though it's not one that only I hold). If you find some unique pleasure in each of these movies I'm not gonna tell you you're wrong.
 
Black Widow because its the last one I'll watch before unfollowing the MCU. Infinity saga was great but I'm fucking burned out.

I'll prolly still watch future MCU movies, with a date here, with a family member there, but I ain't following it no mo'.

I love Avengers IW, and Endgame, and how they turned out. I enjoy watching them still...but I honestly just don't care less about any Marvel movies coming up. I don't know if it's the woke agenda that they're hinting at a lot, or wanting to just take a break. Part of it is also just knowing that several characters that I liked the most are gone, so I have a hard time caring.

I suppose if I was interested in seeing any, it's another Doctor Strange film the most, because I like Cumberbatch in the role alot.

This sentence dazzles me. The Infinity Saga is great but you are burned out? How can you be burnt out if you think the last 23 films were great? That makes no logical sense?
It would make sense if someone liked the first 10 films and then thought the next 13 were average to crap. But to think the whole 23 film saga is "great" and than to be burnt out? Huh?

If you thought the last 23 films were great, what makes you lose interest or "faith" in Marvel Studios for the Phase 4 films?
Is it the fact that the 3 main heroes won't be front and centre anymore?
If that's the case, think back to 2008 when Iron Man released and Thor/Captain America were announced. Were you attached to those heroes back then as much as you are today? I highly doubt it. Even with the release of Ant-Man, for me personally I wasn't as attached to him in that first film compared to Endgame, he is bloody amazing in Endgame.
Aren't you excited to see what they do with these new characters and see if you grow attached to them as well?

Just randomly throwing my thoughts out there.
^_^

Finally put my vote in as Black Widow, it's the only trailer we have and it looks damn great.
:D

Doctor Strange and GOTG 3.

I've been a Doctor Strange fan since a kid. He was my favorite Marvel hero. Really liked the movie too. Did the comics justice.

Love the GOTG as well. I call it the best Star Wars movie Disney has done.
 
Easily Thor : Love and Thunder as Waititi can do no wrong. Ragnarok is a top 5 MCU movie. Thought the first Dr.Strange solo movie was a bit boring but he's been utilize better in the Avengers so I think it will be good, maybe great. Shang-Chi is the most likely to surprise and be a big hit.

All I really care about is GOTG3 though.

I just finished watching Thor: Ragnarok on TNT. Second time seeing it after my initial viewing in the theater.

It overdid it with the comedy and goofiness but it's a fun film. I would say it's one of the better ones after Infinity War, GotG and Doctor Strange. Really love some of the scenery and ship designs and Hela is hella badass.

The movie kinda felt like a goofy video game in some ways but in a good way.

Doctor Strange had a slow build-up but I enjoyed all of it. I'm biased though because he's my favorite Marvel character even if as far as the "solo" movies go I like GotG the best.

I think I only watched Dr.Strange fully through once a long time ago, so before the next DS movie I'll rewatch it with my full attention to give it a fair shake. My remembrance of it puts it at middling within the MCU.

Ragnarok was to me the right mix of serious and silly similar to Ant-Man 1 and GOTG1 which are my favorite MCU films. It made me care about Thor as a character when I hadn't before.

I actually watched Ant-Man recently. Found it pretty dull. Albeit I like "cosmic Marvel" more anyhow. Fwiw I did like Rudd in Endgame.

On a different note, I wonder what the overarching story will be this time? Gonna be hard to top Infinity War.

Time travel, multiverses and Kang.

They already did time travel in Endgame. I guess if it were implemented differently.

Yeah my guess is multiversal threat. Different dimensions like Hell or Dark Dimension and maybe even parallel universes/alternate timelines.

Maybe some threat like Beyonder or to a much lesser extent Galactus albeit the latter is pretty weak when compared to Thanos with stones.

Maybe even one of the big cosmic forces becomes involved like Eternity. There was a very small reference in a mural to them in GOTG.

I think Celestials will play a big role especially with the Eternals. We've already seen just how powerful one of them was with Ego (yeah Ego is a Celestial in the MCU)

Mephisto getting in the MCU is a must. He's a serious threat from the multiverse and very clever.

Doctor Doom could be a serious threat too....

Maybe but I mean what's the big threat or final boss this time? Who will top Thanos?

I like everything you mentioned in your previous post.

Other options they could use are Gorr the God Butcher. I know he is only in the Thor books for the comics but a serious threat to Thor is/could be a serious threat for the X-Men/Avengers combined.

And I know we have had things related to these in the Fox-Men films but they could use Apocalypse or the Phoenix Force. Apocalypse was just terrible in the Fox film and does not do the character justice at all. And if they were to go the Phoenix Force route they could actually do it as the Phoenix Force where 5 members are taken over and avoid the entire Dark Phoenix saga.

Molecule Man is another option, he can be extremely powerful.

I know a little about Gorr but remember him slaughtering gods across pantheons, even non-human ones so he can definitely qualify. What little I know about him, he seems like a pretty awesome villain.

It can be assumed Adam Warlock is debuted probably in GOTG 3. Probably as a strong ally eventually.

I'm sure things are going to get even more cosmic and supernatural and shit is gonna hit the fan.
 
Wait.

I just read about this crazy ass fucker. Bring him into the MCU. FML.

The crazy thing is, the MCU of late is giving the impression that Infinity Saga was just a rev of the engine.

I really think the best is yet to come, despite the mild trepidation we've seen in accordance with the notion that "Endgame" was the big fireworks extravaganza that was going to blow the tires off the van.

For those who don't know, Feige was reporting up to Ike Perlmutter, unceremoniously you could say, for essentially the entirety of the Infinity Saga. Kevin now has much more authority in the MCU. We are just now beginning to see what Kevin can do with the shackles off and crap am I excited.

And ya know, it makes sense, because there has always been room for improvement. In some ways, the MCU has been much more than the sum of it's parts. Now let's see if we can get those parts firing on all cylinders. The beast is roaring.

A worthy double necromancy for a thread.

Also my condolences to Black Widow fans from this thread who are still waiting...

shang chi trailer got me hyped for the movie. Black widow always looked like it would be an enjoyable action movie. I've heard too many bad things about the Eternals to be hyped for it. Dr. Strange i just have no hype for. I doubt a trailer would hype me for it but I do hope they go crazy in the movie and give us some spectacular visuals. I'm not hyped for Thor either since I've found most of them to be rather boring plus female thor. The Blade movie might be interesting but everyone is going to compare it to Wesley Snipes Blade movie and I honestly doubt the action will be as good. Maybe they could ramp up Blade's supernatural abilities to look more impressive.
 
Damn it's been nearly 2 years since the thread was created? I'm probably going to watch only Black Widow, but I don't have high hopes even for that one.
 
Thor 4 and Strange 2 are close, I want the cheesy chaos of Thor but also want the mind fuck that Strange might be.
 
Dr Strange. Infinity War did wonders for the character as I didn't care for him much in his own film. The Russo brothers are the best at writing these characters.
 
Thor.
I have very little interest in the other three. This is basically the placeholder phase. I'm just ready for the X-Men.

Mate, Endgame was just the beginning.
I envision the next sagas climax being huge space battles against millions of soldiers.
Strike that, a huge multi-versal war involving billions of soldiers and millions of space ships.

*EDIT*
Feige hasn't had to report to Ike Pearlmutter since 2015.
But yes, at that stage in 2015 the cogs for everything in the Infinity Saga up to Endgame were already in production. Phase 4 is where Feige has truly had no limits and already with WandaVision and Falcon and the Winter Soldier I think phase 4 is killing it. Feige is showing us what a super hero themed TV show should look and feel like.

I've heard too many bad things about the Eternals to be hyped for it.

Bad things like what?
It's made by Chloe Zhao who directed another amazing movie called Nomadland, it has an astounding cast and is gong to be crazy sci-fi.

Back when I use to watch all of those anti-woke pop culture youtubers is when I use to hear a whole bunch of negativity over it. I honestly hear diddly squat about it these days. Never heard of Nomadland.

edit: Just read the story of Nomadland. How in the world do you go from that to big budget Marvel action film .

Thor Ragnarok 2 has the promise off being some great stuff and I'll be there day 1. But after Wandavision and what it did for SW, Dr Strange 2 is the one I'm really looking forward to.
 
Come on Marvel I want to see him on the big screen.


Waste of film if you don't add him in something.

I have a feeling Eternals is going to be way better than anyone expects. Still looking forward to Strange 2 the most.
 
I feel like the MCU is in a huge lull. I feel like they got lucky with a couple of big hits, because I (and no one I've ever known growing up) wasn't a fan of the Avengers or the Guardians of the Galaxy. They hit home runs on both of those, seemingly, and that has propelled the MCU despite not hitting on Spider-man or any of their other major franchises. It's just good fortune that they struck gold with Robert Downy Jr. as Iron Man and the whole Guardians crew.

Frankly, I felt the lull setting in with the whole Avengers Infinity War, and now there is just a huge expanse of stuff I'm not even a little bit interested in. I'm waiting for the X-Men with super high expectations for some good casting for Wolverine, Gambit, Cyclops, etc. I want to see some excellent stories written for the big screen involving the X-crew.
 
I'm not hyped for any of them, hollywood is all about superheroes, sequels, prequel, remake, reboot. Too tired of them.
That's really not true. That's just the hottest flavor these days. Hollywood has enough material that there is no reason to feel crabby about the success and popularity of the superhero genre. I'd suggest "A24" films.

It's fair to feel that way, but it isn't really the case. WandaVision was a huge hit for Marvel & Disney Plus. Hardcore fans and casual viewers alike are also really appreciating the Falcon and Winter Soldier show. Many fans are falling out of their pants to see Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man No Way Home.

I can't rebuttal against your personal feelings at all, but in most ways, MCU is in anything but a lull. I also wouldn't chalk their success up to "luck". Maybe if they had a few successful movies, but not when they are the top grossing movie franchise of all time. That takes more than a little bit of luck in the casting department.
