I'd rather see MODOK in an Iron Man movie, as a villain who can actually outthink Tony Stark.
Take him out of the rocket chair and make him look really gross and monstrous, and I think they could make MODOK work.

I know some people over here hate him but Anthony Mackie is in talks to appear as Falcon in Cap 2

I am guessing drastic changes will be made.

Well, Mackie's a good actor, at least.

Maybe, but I think it'd be kinda cool if MODOK didn't move at all. He's just a huge swollen head plugged into AIM's mainframe acting as an organic supercomputer, then halfway through the movie he becomes aware and takes over. He doesn't need to fight by shooting energy blasts out of his head, he uses AIM as his weapon.
Opposite here. No problem with Mackie, but I don't like the Falcon at all.

Dont make it look stupid
Arnim Zola could make an appearance in Cap 2 considering that his android body is foreshadowed in the first film.

Rocket comes from Halfworld, a planet that was populated by Humans from Earth as a mental institution/prison. They also put a ton of Earth animals there as pets for the patients. Eventually, through generations, the animals gained sentience and essentially became the caretakers of the humans. Rocket is one of those...so technically he is identical to an Earth raccoon since he is descended from one. If you are interesting in the Halfworld stuff check out the 4 part Rocket Raccoon series from the 70s and/or Annihilators 1-4.
Re: Falcon. He's boring and dumb and I am sad they are putting him in Cap 2 (and inevitably Avengers 2). If they wanted another black guy on the team (which let's be honest, is the only reason to bring Falcon into this) they could have used War Machine or Black Panther...both of which are infinitely better.
That's all i ask as well. I guess the bird crap is out.
They might not do that because that sounds too much like the Supreme Intelligence (who those of you who don't know what that is will should this Inhumans rumor turn out to be true).

Among his files somewhere there's a blueprint for a TV body somewhere. I don't have a screen, but this is the official design from the video game:

MODOK is actually a pretty jumpy villain; he belongs to the Avengers, but also made his way through Cap, Iron Man, Hulk, and SHIELD-related things. I guess that comes with being leader of a terrorist organisation.
The idea sounds interesting, but as Kizer pointed out, that sounds a lot like the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree.
I generally would like MODOK get some recognition, and hopefully an actually menacing portrayal for once. He started out as a really good villain, but in recent decades has more become of a comedic relief among the villains just because he looks so grotesque.
I hope he does. Love me some Arnim Zola.
I agree with this - he definitely seems to young for Falcon.
Wish I didn't see that Star-Lord/Nova pic
Me too. Aren't careless spoilers fantastic?
As an aside, I don't care if Falcon is in Cap 2. Just keep him out of Avengers 2 please.

Fuck Falcon, man.
And I stand by what I said about Rocket Raccoon. I get he's a badass, thank you comic, don't need to remind me every second.

Not necesarilly MCU related, but The Punisher property is back with Marvel now so I suppose I can post this here.
New Punisher short film starring Thomas Jane reprising his role as Frank Castle. Also features Ron Perlman.

I knew Falcon would appear sometime soon in the MCU because of his presence in Avengers Assemble. (animated show replacing Avengers: EMH)
Regardless, I still hate it with every fiber of my body. Terrible character, and if you are going to have the token black guy (lets not kid ourselves) then at least put in a character people actually like. (hint: Black Panther)

^Yup. Fuck Falcon.
Did you not watch the movie? Cap, Hawkeye, and Black Widow all contributed just fine against an alien invasion.
In the next Cap movie, I hope they improve his hand to hand combat training. Something that we'll show he has super strength.
Sorry, I should have specified that I meant the Guardians of the Galaxy. They all seem to be on the Black Widow/Hawkeye side of the power spectrum as opposed to the Hulk/Thor side. I've only read the Infinity Gauntlet and all those cosmic deities seemed a hell of a lot stronger than the chitauri invasion.
Well groot is pretty damn powerful. And Gamora was raised and trained by Thanos to be the cosmos most lethal assassin. I do admit that without Adam Warlock, Quasar or even Starhawk on the team they are missing some extreme heavy hitters but depending on the type of movie they make they might have been a hard fit. Budge may also be a concern.
Face it Tiger..

I watched this earlier, It looks fantastic.. hopefully Marvel takes a look at it.
Not to mention his first appearance in the movie being through a screen that looks just like his later form.

Nothing is more laughable than observing comic book fanboys drool over complete mediocrity, lol.
Honestly, how can anyone become excited over these films? They pump them out like it's lunch hour at Portillos....
- The color processing is always playing it safe
- The style is always uninspiring
- The direction in these films are completely run-of-the-mill
- The plots are all cookie-cutter; it's amazing to me it still garners peoples interest....
Most impressive of all is the fact people in Gaf seem extremely excited to embrace this shallow, dull, simple-minded, schlock.
Step up your expectations FanboyGaf

See, Groot is one of the ones that seems pretty weak. According to wikipedia:
Can absorb wood to feed, to rebuild himself, and to enhance his strength. He can also control trees and is resistant to fire.
Genius Level Intellect
How many trees are there in space? Also every other character in the Marvel universe has genius level intellect as one of his abilities, either that or master tactician. Hopefully they'll release their run in an omnibus so I can read up on these guys. I don't feel like buying individual volumes.
Cause they are fun?
This is awesome. Hopefully, Feige watches this. Though, I wonder if Marvel Studios/ Disney would even consider making an R-Rated film.
Either way, Tom Jane is a badass. Props to him for doing this.

If superhero fanboys had any respect at all, they would hold Marvel accountable and force them to create innovative/interesting films. Instead...

It is a 'direct' translation of the source. If you can't understand that or believes it could be more, you found a great way of making intelligence dumb.
A shared cinematic universe isn't innovative or interesting? Whedon ain't no Ingmar Bergman, but he did alright.
You sound more befuddled than the fanboys you question.

That said, did you ever consider not everyone wants to see French people dancing ballet in artsy greyscale if they wanna see an action flick based on fictional characters they've come to love?
What does that have to do with respect?

No, but there's this Oglaf arc (VERY NSFW!) with that swordswoman who's angry all the time and simply cannot have fun, so she goes out of her way to attempt destroying the Church of Fun.
