It's crazy to think that Marvel Studios has three movies in post-production right now and is filming three new ones with overlapping casts.

Then you have the TV/ABC/Netflix/etc. side with Iron Fist, Defenders, Punisher, Inhumans, SHIELD, Cloak & Dagger, Runaways...

Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that the post-credits tease in Iron Man would end up delivering on its promise in such a big way.

Only thing left is for Perlmutter to retire and hand everything to Feige.

I'm here to talk to you about the Avengers Initiative.

You've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet.

How right he was.

We are truly blessed.

 

[darkhunger]

What the fuck, what about casting?

Who's going to be Old Lace????

Same actor as Inhumans' Lockjaw.

Seriously though - since Hulu hasn't actually bought the series yet (it's just a pilot order so far), Marvel probably doesn't want to announce anything yet.

I was 100% convinced this wasn't going to happen.

Probably the scariest thing about Marvel Studios is they are quickly getting to the point (or are already there) where they have so many blockbuster franchises that they let ideas for sequels sharpen for 3 years before going into production, they can let ideas for new franchises gestate for even longer before pulling the trigger and going into production. All while still releasing 2 or 3 films a year.....

That's good, if anything, lest you want another Iron Man 2 on your hands.

That's why I like the Marvel TV structure the way it is because. with 5 shows and a recurring mini-series, each show now has two years to write and plan, meaning we avoid shit like DD S2 which was really uneven. I'm expecting great things from Jessica Jones and Luke Cage now because they now have more time to really dig in and mold their seasons.

When applied to Studios, it now means we stand a better chance of actually getting phenomenal scripts for movies and I hope it implies they break out of the generic Marvel movie tropes that have been haunting them.

This is a good thing.

I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS BAD W.T.F.

 

[torre_avenue]

I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS BAD W.T.F.

Scary connotes bad.

But, yeah, I'm not anticipating waiting 4 years for Dr. Strange 2 or Black Panther 2.

 

[BLACKLAC]

I thought scary could be slang for good?!?

 

[Pachimari]

I'm curious if we'll get any casting announcements for Runaways within the next two weeks. Is it Hulu? They probably won't say much until the release.

And I also wonder who will be in that huge Black Panther chase...

 

[Glass Rebel]

I read it as scary for everyone else. Is there another production company the size of Marvel Studios releasing 2-3 movies a year with a $500m baseline?

Disney?

How quickly Donald Trump has banned reason and ethics from politics is scary.

Spoiler

Sorry.

 

[BLACKLAC]

Spoiler

Sorry.

-_- But yeah, scary for the other studios.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Disney?

Marvel Studios is less than 50 people, afaik.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Marvel Studios is less than 50 people, afaik.

That small? Wow, that's very surprising.

 

[Glass Rebel]

That small? Wow, that's very surprising.

I could be wrong but...

 

[Weapxn]

That small? Wow, that's very surprising.

Eh. It sort of makes sense to me. Most of the folks who work for them are probably contracted in and not full-time employees.

 

[darkhunger]

Marvel Studios is less than 50 people, afaik.

Marvel basically puts together a new production crew for each of their movies and hires them under a subsidiary LLC created specifically for each movie. So the Marvel Studios entity itself is probably just mostly business and administrative staff and that's why there are only 50 or less employees.

[Pachimari]

That's my MANTIS!

 

[SpaceWolf]

Mantis' appearance genuinely freaks me out in this film. Like, I find it genuinely unnerving.

 

[richiek]

Note the baby Groot on Yondu's shoulder.

 

[IHaveIce]

so happy how Mantis turned out, still not happy with Taserface and Ayesha getting big spotlights, eventhough there are so many cool characters that could work in GotG

 

[Glass Rebel]

Mantis is a top 5 MCU bae now.

I know that Slayven agrees.

 

[Neoxon]

Mantis is a top 5 MCU bae now.

I know that Slayven agrees.

You know in your heart who the best bae is.

 

[Pachimari]

Mantis is my number one just because of Pom Klementieff. She's so nice. Scarlet Witch will have to make room and jump down a place.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Of course I know who the best bae is

 

[Pachimari]

Wait, I forgot about Karen Paige. She's up there in Top 3.

 

[Dalek]

you fools.

 

[curb]

you fools.

I love how Favreau isn't even trying to be subtle about where he's looking.

 

[Dalek]

That guy in the back with the glasses and red lanyard is frozen-system failure.

 

[SpaceWolf]

If we're talking MCU crushes....

Oh yes.

 

[The Kree]

So we're all in agreement that girls are attractive.

That was the hypest I had ever been in a movie theater.

Legit screamed.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

you fools.

You're all fools.

Tessa Thompson is coming to back her up, too.

 

[BLACKLAC]

 

[The Kree]

The Thanos reveal was bigger for me. The wait since has been torture.

 

[jmood88]

My nigga

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

You're all fools.

Tessa Thompson is coming to back her up, too.

Misty Knight wins

 

[SpaceWolf]

You're all fools.

Okay, actually...yeah.

Yeah, this is the clear winner.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Winter Soldier post-credit scene with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver was probably the hypest for me.

Who knew Whedon would shit on the latter from a great height?

He went out a hero saving the guy Whedon spent two hours convincing the audience was gonna die. How is that shitting on him?

 

[BLACKLAC]

For being essentially a side character, MCU Quicksilver having an actual character arc in AoU especially when compared to Fox Quicksilver's 0 character arc in 2 x-men movies, is not shitting on the character. Even if I'm not the biggest fan of him dying.
