We finally got a higher-quality logo for Ant-Man & the Wasp.

It's pretty.

The version in the OP is also super neat.

 

[Glass Rebel]

If you squint you can spot Ant-Man in the A.

Can't wait for the Daredevil S3 logo where you can see SpaceWolf crying.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

In this third watch, I notice the writers love the word asshole. It's there go to insult, but the way they use it most of the time especially with Foggy is corny.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I dunno if MCUExchange is legit with their scoops

Missed this earlier but this reads like the safest guesses ever based on what we know. And even if this shit doesn't happen in the movie, you can claim that it existed in early drafts with like 90% accuracy because it's fucking Captain Marvel and the Kree-Skrull war.

In other news, Emily VanCamp aka Sharon Carter doesn't know whether she will return to the MCU (duh) but apparently there were discussions to have her appear on Agents of SHIELD.

That's it! That's where I heard this from. I'm not crazy. They are putting her in another realm.

Fairly certain comicbookmovie dot com, mcuexchange, denofgeek, and bleedingcool are all owned and run by one dude with a twitter account and NeoGAF profile. Probably neoxon or richiek.

I meant more the Marvel Studios physics guy who gave an interview earlier this year. Here's the original article (those sites were all just reporting it). It was this that made me think she would possibly be off doing her own thing explaining her absence in IW, but this was also before they revealed that her movie takes place in the 90s.

I'll be honest, I always assumed they cast her in the role with that intention (having her in AoS or a present Agent Carter), given her TV experience.

Yeah, not me. I barely have time for just GAF, let alone managing 4 websites.

 

[Weapxn]

So did I. I was particularly surprised that they didn't try to use her after Revenge ended. What a wasted opportunity. Hopefully they fix that.

 

[broncobuster]

Short of injecting Sharon Carter with super serum and making her the next Cap America (to shine on those half-dozen Bucky and Falcon diehards), I don't know what they'd do with the character anyway. The relationship with Steve is kind of awkward on multiple levels.

 

[Mariolee]

Just wanted to chime in and say that I have a really bad feeling about The Defenders and as one poster said earlier, if they screw this up it could put a really bad stink on all the future series additional seasons.

They're going to kill the one character we don't want them to kill, but would make the most sense to serve as "motivation" for the Defenders to avenge umm... starting Defending, aren't they?

If that means we get a whole spin-off series with that character I'm in.

In all fairness, his statement regarding CM is pretty general/vague.

There's an old WB show called Roswell starring Katherine Heigl. Watch any random two and a half episodes of that instead.

 

[SpaceWolf]

The constant pessimism about all things Netflix Marvel on this forum bums me out, even if it is perhaps partly justified.

 

[The Kree]

I'm not pessimistic about The Defenders. I loved Diamondback.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

My post wasnt meant pessimistic overall, I loved booth Daredevil Seasons and Jessica Jones, and Cage until he fell into the trashcar, I just cant motivate myself for another 5 episodes of Iron Fist and I kinda dont want to start Defenders before that is finished.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I'm not pessimistic about The Defenders. I loved Diamondback.

Me too.

 

[Glass Rebel]

I wouldn't say I'm pessimistic about The Defenders.

But they've done a piss poor job at communicating why I should care about this beyond "hey you know these chracters from TV shows ranging from pretty good to garbage". It also sounds like it's plagued by the same problems the other Netflix shows were.

I mean, it's fine. Agents of SHIELD is returning next year.

They're gonna beat up Sigourney Weaver. That's not enough?

I haven't even finished Luke Cage. Probably never will. Netflix Marvel is DONE. Will probably just skim Defenders and make fun of hallway fights, and then wait for Punisher.

You get to see the hair in action.

Only if it's in a dark side street and sparks are flying everywhere.

I'm kinda mad that I'm most interested in the Punisher out of all Netflix shows.

In all fairness, it's a strategy that worked exceedingly well for Marvel when it came to their film equivalents.

Yeah, I think I've acknowledged as much last time the topic came up. It was a great hook in 2012, in 2017 I need more. Especially when the CW trash shows have these crossovers on a constant basis and almost always end up sucking.

Either way, I think it'll be fine. It's just difficult getting excited for 8x50mins coming off a bad Iron Fist season.

...christ.

The Buck strikes again.

I wonder if Disney is gonna interfere with the TV side if this ends up being another dud.

Not likely. They'll collect the ad revenue and move on to the next thing.

Having watched 1 episode of Daredevil and 4 of Jessica Jones, I'm going to go into the Defenders blind.

Considering Iron Fist was "dud" enough to warrant a second season from Netflix, probably not.

I'm just wondering how important the TV side and this IMAX deal are to Disney. I doubt it's very lucrative for them.

One of the great mysteries of the universe.

isnt it weird we still have no Punisher date?

I mean we are all still assuming it's this year right? Not much "this year" left, especially for an announcement.

I'd bet that is the "post-credit" scene for Defenders, much like how it was for Daredevil Season 2 and Luke Cage.

Today in "No shit" news, Michael Rosenbaum who played Lex Luthor in Smallville and Martinex in GotG Vol. 2 (This dude) would love to return to the Marvel universe which isn't all that surprising since from what I can tell he's pretty much unemployed now.

Anyway, would be cool if they had the OG Guardians in Captain Marvel in some capacity.

It's too bad he's not busy doing a third season of Impastor. I really liked that show. You know, me and like, the 3 other people who watched it.

It's not as bad as some have reported, but it's also quite boring and poorly put together.

It's a straight C for something that should've been an A.

 

[Einchy]

Making Iron Fist be a corporate drama for half of the show is still one of the most bafflings things I've ever seen.

Alright, guys, lets make a Batman movie! So, what if half of the movie is about Lucius Fox trying to steal Bruce Wayne's company?

Although the twist revolving around Ben's death in Daredevil was legitimately shocking for me, and his death scene itself was great...I think killing off Ben was something of a mistake for that show. He's a great character who's absence was sorely felt in Season 2. God knows, I felt Karen did an extremely poor job when it came to filling the void left in his place as an investigative journalist in the later episodes.

Karen: I think Castle was a victim of a conspiracy or something...

Daily Bulletin: Great job, as a secretarial assistant for a law firm with no past writing experience, we'd like to hire you as one of our top writers. Here's the office of our lead journalist. You start work tomorrow.

Karen: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A HERO? IN A WAY, ALL NEW YORKERS ARE HEROES...

Ben dying instead of Karen, though completely unsurprising, still annoys the hell out of me. The fact that they went on to give Karen a job that was in no way justified by anything she did in the show made that decision look even worse. God, I hate Karen.

 

[SpaceWolf]

German dub

Oh, apologies! I only read that it was a line of dialogue that appeared in the Italian version, but I guess I was mistaken.

Ben dying instead of Karen, though completely unsurprising, still annoys the hell out of me. The fact that they went on to give Karen a job that was in no way justified by anything she did in the show made that decision look even worse. God, I hate Karen.

You know, I think the writers original intention was to essentially invest the character of Karen with much more agency and dynamism in comparison to her comic book counterpart, by allowing her to replace Ben in his established role as the trusted journalistic ally of Matt's as opposed to just serving as one of his satellite love interests. I imagine that specific characterization will come into play much more prominently when they finally get around to adapting the Born Again arc, with Karen taking over from Ben in that story as the deep-digging journalist desperate to prove Matt's innocence...as opposed to a drug-addled porn star who's only really good for serving as something of a damsel in distress, such as she originally appeared in the comics.

All in all, though, I think Karen sudden transition into journalism at The Daily Bulletin was incredibly jarring and felt largely unearned. She just seemed to stumble into landing herself an amazing job at one of the city's top newspapers. That, in combination with the fact that I really liked the character of Ben Ulrich in and of himself, in addition to the actor they got to play him. It's a shame his time on the show (and in the MCU at large) was cut so tragically short.
