[The Broken Ska Record]

No one knows who Miles is outside of comics. The majority only knows Peter.

I think by this point Marvel could make a household name out of whoever they wanted. But Miles not able to be Spider-Man is pointless.

 

[Sorian]

Using a single note that slides upwards was a complete ripoff from The Dark Knight. That's what I got out of his "theme".

Except the music in the dark knight never helped me feel uncomfortable at the person that I was seeing on the screen. That was the case, however, in winter soldier.

Not enough people do (as if Sony/Fox would listen to an internet boycott anyway). The Spiderman and Xmen movies will continue to be cash cows for them. And once they stop, they will just reboot them and start over. Give up the dream. Wolverine and SPiderman are as likely to show up in the MCU as Superman and Batman are.

Yeah, there is no way that the studios will just give up the license unless they end up making them worthless. They know that the second they do, Marvel will level license them out ever again.

I don't understand how can someone have that opinion, but okay.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Forgive me if this has been answered a billion times, but what's the chance of the HYDRA storyline featuring heavily in Avengers 2? Is it probably just going to get a mention here and there, while the story is picked up again in Cap 3?

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Just saw it too - I think a rental would have been better. It has a bit of a deeper story than the usual Marvel movies but it wasn't as entertaining as the avengers, which in itself, wasn't all that great of a movie.

The fight scenes had so much potential too but shaky cam and quick cuts ruined most of them.

 

[Boss Riovane]

I wish there was a chart for who has the rights to who. That would probably a fantastic thing to look at.

That completely depends on how they want to explain Ultron. Personally, I think Hydra will be more a bit player in Avengers 2 and be in the shadows until the next cap movie but they may also have a big place since they are housing QS and SW right now.

 

[anaron]

Honestly, of all the errant rights, I think Namor and Fantastic Four are the ones Marvel should get back.

X-Men and Spidey work very well as solo universes, even if the execution isn't as great as we'd like, but Namor/Fantastic Four just really need a broader context. Also, in the case of FF, they've got the best villains.

Agreed.

Universal and Lionsgate should make a quick book and just sell them back. Cause on their own they are worthless. I bet Marvel has the rights for the Original Human Torch.

Yup. They have them

From the original Captain America.

The interviews so far suggests that while it will have an influence on Avengers 2, it won't play a huge role. Stuff like the Winter Soldier, Fury, and the remnants of Hydra will likely be dealt with in Captain America 3 instead.

 

[Dram]

Is it weird that there hasn't been any build up to the creation of Ultron yet? I thought the Winter Solider would at least have a teaser about them talking about it.

I guess we'll have to wait for Guardians.

After watching the flick again.

I have to say, Chris Evans is one handsome ass motherfucker. Goddamn. I can't say who's my bigger man crush, him or Chris Hemsworth

 

[jmizzal]

The movie was great, def the best of the bunch outside of The Avengers

 

[Dai101]

Nope. GoTG is more a set-up for A3.

 

[Dram]

I guess the tv series will deal with it then?

 

[Sulik2]

The setup for Ultron was in WS pretty explicitly. It will be Zola's algorithm that was gonna run Project Insight.

 

[Darkgran]

Hold on. Guardians is in the same universe as this?

Explain please.

 

[Sorian]

Avengers 3 is going to be a hell of a trip is basically the best answer I can give you.

 

[bananas]

Explain please.

GoTG takes place in the MCU. The Collector who was in the credits scene in Thor 2 plays a role in GotG.

GotG will further the Infinity Gauntlet/Thanos plotline that was started in Avengers 1 and Thor 2. This will (supposedly) lead up to Avengers 3.

All the Marvel Studios films (any Marvel movie that's not Spider-Man, X-Men, or Fantastic Four) take place in the same universe.

There has only been one. Now if we add the whole MCU.....

 

[Showaddy]

WTF is up with those random studios having Namor and Man-Thing? ... Why would they even want those?

Marvel was having a firesale years ago, Man-Thing & Namor must have been going on the cheap and the studios thought it was worth a go.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Oh my, yes .......



Black Mirror, google it.

She looks Native American there.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Just saw it. Good shit, enjoyed it much more than the first one. It really felt like a solid movie on its own merits, even if you hadn't seen any of the other ones, and yet it still tied in nicely with them.

Loved the little easter eggs and shoutouts to other MCU stuff (I totally caught a Dr Strange mention somewhere in there... and Ezekiel 25:17 showing up on the headstone totally cracked me up).

I think the only thing I didn't really care for was bringing Hydra into it. It just felt gratuitous. Like, it's totally cool that there's this kind of rogue element within SHIELD that's doing its own thing and has its own agenda--but did we really need the cheesy secret society element? "Hail Hydra," SMH. Also, I think we can figure out that their goals are bad and evil without having a giant flashing "EVIL GUYS HERE" sign by making them Nazis. Eh.

It's weird you're complaining about Hydra being Nazi when CA was created during WW2. Of course he would fight Nazis. Should they change who Hydra are because it takes place during Modern day? Should he have a different adversary now? Should they deviate from the comics to avoid Nazis?

 

[Minion101]

One film vs many I'm assuming.

 

[Slayven]

Yup. They have them

From the original Captain America.[/QUOTE]

My nerd nipples are so hard.

 

[Dram]

Don't they have some deal where the studios have to make movies on a regular basis to keep the characters from reverting, or does that not apply to these characters?

I think someone wrote that Universal sends Marvel a check every few years to keep the rights.

I don't see any need for Cap to always be fighting Nazis.

I don't think they're really Nazi's any more. There were a lot of minorities that were part of Hydra in the movie.

 

[Jest Chillin]

Hydra aren't really Nazi's though. Red Skull was already planning on breaking away from the Nazi's entirely in Cap 1. They used the Nazi's the same way they used SHIELD in Cap 2. I can't recall if they're wearing Nazi uniforms in the post credits scene but I could understand why they would for easy visual identification that they're associated with Hydra.

 

[richiek]

My guess: the algorithm that Zola created for Project Insight will evolve into Ultron.

Awesome, awesome fight. It's nice to see Evans doing the stunt himself.

As a straight man, I have to agreed. The man looks ridiculous as Captain America. Like inhumanly handsome.

Avengers = 1 movie.
Spiderman = 4 movies.
X-Men= 6(?) movies.

 

[Winterfang]

Double post.

 

[Callibretto]

I kinda wonder what's the percentage of female viewers in these marvel movies. Seems like they have more fanservice for women than men. All three Chris (Evans, Hemsworth, Pratt) got shirtless scene in their movie. I know Loki has quite a few female fans. I assume same with RDJ.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I kinda hope that Marvel finds a way to escape the noisy CGIfest final action sequence pattern they've been in. It was great in the Avengers, and its just kinda been diminishing returns ever since. Especially in a movie like Winter Soldier, that's like 2/3rds taut conspiracy thriller, then the wings come out and its just another Marvel blockbuster

My girlfriend said how this caught her off guard too but I don't understand why, you're watching a super hero movie. I don't know what was expected. Sure, captain america can have more grounded stories compared to the other avengers but they were introducing falcon and I think they made him about as realistic as they could. We could have had him pop in in his signature red spandex instead with some wings that looked glued together like Icarus' from greek mythology.

 

[Winterfang]

Now , I like what they did here. The Falcon had the lamest outfit and powers, at least we got that he is a pilot but instead of a plan of a jet pack is some wings.
