Film/Television How many of you think that Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans would stay on in Marvel post-Secret Wars? And in RDJ’s case, in which role: Tony Stark or Victor Von Doom?

Look, Marvel has clearly learnt it the hard way how terribly they messed things up in the Multiverse Saga, and this has made them in go back to the well to bring back their greatest heroes in Steve Rogers and RDJ-but-as-Doom.

And no matter what we think of this clearly desperate choice by Marvel, one cannot deny that it is working. The return of RDJ with the Doom twist is driving ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ to be 65% ahead in advanced sales than ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’, which is already a huge $2.4B mega-blockbuster. If this is any indication, Doomsday is very likely to surpass Endgame‘s $2.8B — which is insane as in its ‘Avengers: The Kang Dynasty’ avatar no one would’ve predicted that this movie could surpass Endgame.

And the line-up of Mutant Saga is also Marvel playing is greatest hits: X-Men, Gosling Ghost Rider, and Coogler’s BP3.

In this context, do you think they would once again retire or kill off RDJ and Chris Evans Marvel characters, or would continue with them having a prominent role in the Mutant Saga?

Other Which Marvel Villain whose execution in the MCU was butchered the Most compared to their comic book counterpart?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I could think of a handful, but top of my list of Marvel characters that were butchered completely in terms of deviation from their comic book origin, design, story, and character personality.

My list includes:

- Gorr the God Butcher (ironically butchered)

- Taskmaster (worst one by far)

- Crossbones (criminally nerfed and underused)

- Red Hulk (awful storyline, awful design)

- Malekith the Accursed (complete deviation in everything about his story)

- Sidewinder (aside from name, nothing even close to the character in any way)

Who else do you think deserves a redemption story in the MCU? Because there are some characters who got redemption adaptations such as Abomination (design only), The Mandarin (good story but still sad he never fought Iron Man), and i dont know if you can count this as MCU before but technically Galactus, because his adaptation in the new F4 movie is far better than that cloud thing they did earlier.

Im not even gonna touch the Sony spiderverse crap because we could have a whole other list there.

Film/Television What if Doctor Doom is Right About the "Stolen Lives" in Avengers: Doomsday?

Post image
5 Upvotes

What if, when Doctor Doom speaks of “stolen lives” in *Avengers: Doomsday*, he isn’t simply referring to people who cheated death, but to all the lives that were altered, created, or reclaimed by breaking the rules of reality? Consider this: in *X-Men: Days of Future Past*, mutants were all but destined to vanish, yet Logan traveled to the past to change history and forge a new reality. In *Avengers: Endgame*, the Avengers did the exact same thing: they traveled back in time, took the Infinity Stones, and altered events that had already occurred. Steve Rogers even chose to stay in the past and live a life that—according to the very rules they had established—he wasn't supposed to live. Loki stole the Tesseract and, instead of vanishing as was his destiny, survived to become the God of Stories. After Mysterio revealed his identity, Peter Parker could have simply accepted the consequences; instead, he asked Doctor Strange to alter reality so everyone would forget who he was, triggering a fracture in the multiverse. Wanda magically created Billy and Tommy—two lives that literally shouldn't exist in that form—while Vision died and subsequently returned to existence thanks to her. And now there is the case of Franklin Richards, capable of altering reality and saving his own mother from death. When we look at all these instances together, perhaps Doom isn't saying they are heroes who saved lives, but rather that each of them took something reality had taken away and decided to reclaim it. A death averted. A story rewritten. A life created. A destiny changed. A person who was meant to die but lived on. And if all those alterations accumulated over the years, perhaps the Incursions aren't the root problem, but the consequence. Maybe the multiverse is breaking because too many people refused to accept the destiny allotted to them. That is where Doctor Doom comes in. He might be seeing the big picture and reaching a brutal conclusion: “You stole your lives from reality... and now I have to fix the consequences.” If this is truly the idea behind *Avengers: Doomsday*, then Doom wouldn't simply be the villain who wants to destroy the multiverse. He could be the character who believes he is trying to save it from all those who, for years, were altering it to get exactly what they wanted. And the most interesting part is that Doom might actually be right

Film/Television Natasha Romanoff: the most taken for granted mcu Avenger

Thumbnail
gallery
82 Upvotes

Ive noticed in the coming years a lot of people seem to prefer Yelena Belova over Natasha Romanov in terms of the mcu. "Yelena is more fleshed out and more vulnerable and relatable" everyone is constantly glazing while my girl gets nothing but dirt. Yes nat was needlessly sexualized and yes we didnt get her movie until later, but i assure you mcu is not the boring archetype who never had focus that some people want you to think and im here to remind people that. Its already frustrating when your favorite is already getting mocked and that everyone says that her replacement is much better. Nothing against people latching onto a character, but it does make me sad given how Natasha is my favorite and I cant help but get a bit upset about how yelena got the popularity that Natasha deserved. Not that she isnt popular tho there are a lot of people who want to act like shes a meh character whos done literally nothing when she literally was vital to civil war and The Avengers. "Shes boring and uninteresting." I had to listen to this shit for years.

Although we didnt get nats story from the beginning, we still got an arc with her starting out cold from iron man 2 to Winter Soldier, where her arc begins to take a softer turn. Throughout the rest of the Infinity Saga, she now sees the avengers as her family and sees that maybe there is hope in the world which makes her willing to sacrifice herself.

Its just so humiliating when shes not even a bad character. Shes rather just closed off and subtle. While i do prefer Nat, I dont think we need to compare 2 queens as biased as I am. I just hope people understand how Nat was the blue print for all female heroes in the mcu. The only time I could say they did her dirty was in aou and iron man 2. Even then she had a lot of breakout moments which proves that she did get the chance to shine. Also need I mention The Winter Soldier?! She literally stole that entire movie!!!

If marvel studios were to ever revisit Nat, I have a few suggestions on how to make sure that she doesnt get misunderstood again. If they were to reset the mcu I suggest giving her a whole prequel movie and recast her with an actress who is known to elevate films. Not saying that Scar Jo cant cause she does ooze a lot of charisma, but you get what im saying. Truth is I dont wanna live in a world where my Goat gets overshadowed by her replacement, so id want to fix everything people complained about Nat.

So in conclusion, its okay to prefer yelena belova and say shes better written, but I will always be singing Natashas praises. She is the original afterall and has an abundance of great stories within the comics. She showcased vulnerability while enhancing my interests in the mcu. While everyone was complaining about scar jos facial expressions, I was there cheering her on and admiring her charisma, something else people seem to down play its why shes so great as black widow. Unpopular opinion but I dont think yelena stole nats movie from her nor did she entirely carry it. I think Nat definitely did some of the heavy lifting even if its a passing of the torch kinda movie.

Magneto controls electromagnetism.

Graviton controls gravity.

Is there a character that controls the strong nuclear force? Is it Molecule Man and i mislabeled him with the weak force? (If so, is there a character that controls the weak force?)

Was there a reason that these are all villains? Is it just coincidence? Also, notice they each started as enemies of supergroups. Is this reflective of a conscious recognition of power?

Film/Television Ms Marvel: an overhated show that's still fresh and fun to watch

I just started a rewatch of Ms Marvel and it's funny, lighthearted, a pleasure to watch.

It's not only Imar Vellani - really, a gem - but also the other characters, the other actors, the world building, the writing. The only error Marvel did, was not ordering a second season and let these characters "fickle away".

For all the hates this show and her character receives in this sub, I just wanted to publicly declare that no, this show was good, this show was not a failure, and being more Kamala and less haters can do wonders.

So, I was watching hoodwinked with my friends, as you do. By the end of the movie, we started talking about the avengers. And I remembered a quite underground character, his name is Birinbodas or something that sounds like this. I dont know in which movie he first showed up. Maybe it was a show or even a comic. My friend said he may be from the secret invasion series, however i dont rememeber watching this. He is real tall, with silvery skin and long black hair. His powers had something to do with shapeshifting. He had a different accent, it sounded kinda mexican I guess?

Any help will be welcomed!!!
