This is interesting. So supposedly, Fox owns the rights to Ego the Living Planet, not Marvel. They made a deal so that Negasonic Teenage Warhead could be in Deadpool.
Owing to their superficial reasons for adding Negasonic Teenage Warhead to the “Deadpool” cast in the first place, Reese and Wernick elected to eschew essentially everything but the character’s name in the film script, even imbuing her with an entirely different set of powers (in the comics, she is psychic as opposed to literally explosive). For that, Fox was forced to get the okay from Marvel Studios, initiating a superhero swap between the studios whose results will next be seen in James Gunn‘s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2.” “Kurt Russell [‘s Ego the Living Planet] in the new ‘Guardians’ movie was the character that Fox swapped with Marvel to [change] Negasonic Teenage Warhead powers,” explained Wernick.

So NTW was really different than her comic version that they had to deal with Marvel Studios? But if Marvel Studios can't make X-men movies why do they care how different she is? >.>
finally saw Doctor Strange yesterday and... I hate to say it but I thought it was pretty mediocre. Even I am growing weary of the Marvel formula at this point, though I suspect the fact that this was an origin story made the whole thing feel especially routine.
I won't be surprised if Feige felt like there was too much stuff on the movie side and handed the Inhumans over to TV as a way to introduce them into the MCU and bring them into movies later.

Avengers is filming both movies back to back, so that would explain the early start, and BP was originally scheduled for 2017, so it might be a holdover from that.
I just realised something. I've always thought phase 2 was longer than phase 1, but looking at this I couldn't work out why they had the same number of logos. Then I realised it's because I completely ignore Incredible Hulk. Oops.
Anyway, Westworld has got me super excited to see Tessa Thompson in Ragnarok. I really can't wait for some teasers for that.
Ludwig Göransson (Creed) will be the composer, Rachel Morrison (Dope) the cinematographer and Hannah Beachler (Moonlight) will be doing the production design.
I have been watching Season 2 of Agent Carter these last few months, and I have to say it is much improved upon the first season. The characters are interesting and all have plots, while the overall arc of Isodyne, Roxxon and dark matter is super intruiging. I love Whitney Frost as the villain, and Dottie Underwood is once again sublime. All of this makes it hurt even more, that it wasn't renewed for Season.
Now that I'm back on GAF, I can also share my short impression of Doctor Strange which I went to watch at the premiere. And while it was a good origin story, the movie in itself was rather mediocre. His transition into Doctor Strange is especially fast, and while the Dark Dimension looked crazy good with nice 3D effects, the whole thing was much less a spectacle than I expected. It was the usual Kung fu fighting and running up the side of walls and creating these portals. These encounters and villain just wasn't all that interesting. I liked The Ancient One and
was truly sad to see her go
, Rachel McAdams did a great job as Christine and really balanced out the movie. But
Mordos transition
is happening too fast, and I was pretty disappointed in the look of
Dormammu
. Although the third act was greater than most of the MCU.
All in all, it was a mediocre by-the-books film, and I didn't really like Doctor Strange's arrogance. The cape was a sure fire star though.
I do agree with most of it, like Marvel puts some sort of fog filter over the lens sometimes, I do wish they'd punch up the contrast a little sometimes.
Like in Civil War the big fight, grey airport, grey tarmac, grey skies. It just needs a little extra.
“From the second we had the idea to do the story of ‘Civil War,’ Spider-Man was a part of the story,” he explained. “It was a very complicated business arrangement for Marvel Studios to be able to use Spider-Man from Sony. So, we were always told by Marvel, ‘Don’t count on it, you may not get to use Spider-Man, so you better have a plan B.’ And we were like, ‘Okay, we get it, we have a plan B if don’t get Spider-Man; we’ll figure the movie out.’ But the truth is, we never had a plan B. We only have envisioned the movie with Spider-Man. He was always a part of the story. It was very important to us to reintroduce the character.”
My idea is that it's because Earth is Asgard's pet planet. Asgard is a huge famous intergalactic society - even the Collector respects them - and most Infinity Fuckery is a direct result of Asgardian nonsense.
Odin left the Cube there, stuck the Dark Elf Red Goop nearby, and Loki brought the Mind Gem.
Earth is "that shithole where Odin's family keeps slumming it."
