Well in the comics Jarvis is a person and Tony's butler, who fucks Aunt May at some point. Perhaps some forbidden robot love is afoot?

Let's be honest, a subplot in one of the Avengers movies about Tony Stark trying to gently caress Aunt May to Peter's chagrin would be pretty great.

I would watch this.

Twist: Civil War is just an elaborate 80's sex comedy and Vision starts wearing turtlenecks to hide the hickeys Scarlet Witch gave him from Aunt May.

Yeah, it's really not the trailers fault that incredibly basic premise wasn't grasped. It's right there, front and center.

I'm well aware it's a movie and the effects are CGI, thanks. I was talking about in-setting.

No I know I mean I would wager that poo poo's going on in some parallel magical (or maybe even magickal) realm rather than the real world, so Stark would just be staring out a window at nothing drinking bourbon. As usual.

But Tony is the hot popular rich kid and Bucky's the greasy long-haired bad boy...

Honestly Civil War should just be a remake of the Breakfast Club starring Tony, Steve, Bucky, Vision and Scarlet Witch.

I really hope Dr. Strange takes place a decade or two before the rest of the Marvel movies. Get the origin out of the way and then when he shows up in a crossover movie, it's all gray temples and fingers bent at impossible angles to casually fling magic portals around.

As it's been discussed around here before, sounds like a Thanos-centric GotG2 or Thor 3 is unlikely:

quote:

The death-obsessed Thanos has been lurking in the background of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since his mysterious appearance at the end of the first Avengers film. However, aside from a short role atop his throne in Guardians Of The Galaxy and another post-credits appearance in Age Of Ultron we haven’t exactly learned a whole lot about him onscreen. All that will change soon, according to screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who promise a huge entrance for Thanos In Avengers: Infinity War. "We don't get an element of surprise. Everyone knows he's coming, and yet he hasn't had terribly many scenes that have illuminated very much about him," Markus explained, adding, "You can count on a lot of scenes where we illuminate a lot about him very early."

Thanos’ entrance into the wider MCU isn’t the only task they face. With the amount of characters expected to be included in both films, it's certainly no small chore to make sure everyone gets their due. "The challenge is hanging on to character as motivation when you blow the canvas up to the entire universe. And not to make it seem like all your people look like tiny little video game characters running around," McFeely shared. "It's just trying to balance character moments in the middle of big, crazy Jim Starlin ['Thanos' creator] action," added Markus.

Made me wonder what's the most films a villain as appeared in as a villain (where they are not also protagonist)? Plenty of villains in 2 flicks, what about recurring villain 3+ times? Just thinking if they had IW1+2 about him and a precursor movie to have 3 with him as the main antagonist, would've needed a meatier core than the usual Marvel villains to sustain.

I guess Vader counts, some guys from James Bond maybe, most of the others I can think of sideline the villain or turn him into a sort-of ally by the 3rd movie. But like, the main big bad, 3 times. Even Magneto is iffy in X2.

It's the official phrase that the DC universe is using. Marvel doesn't have an official term, but it seems to be using "Super Heroes" or "Gifted / Powered People" mostly.

Not sure why you think DC would abandon their own made up terminology, especially when they probably have it trademarked and can make money off it.
