I'm leary of the "heist movie" sort of hype Marvel has done for some of its movies. I'm not suggesting there won't be some footage of Thanos acquiring gems.

Act 1: Thor and Doctor Strange explain the existential threat, Strange smacks Cap and Stark to say "figure this out because we will all die." Someone like Maria Hill or Rhodes dies.

Act 2: Thor introduces the Guardians. Immediate tension between Stark and Quill. They begin racing to get the stones because "we have to do this, and do it together."

Act 3: they have like four of the stones, and now it's a mad dash to get the fifth. Thanos wins, assumes the gauntlet and kills, I don't know, Stark and Loki and Drax. Movie ends on a cliffhanger with Captain Marvel showing up.

Yeah, this is more plausible, in that it's hard to see how you have a lot of the movie being a Thanos heist while also accommodating every existing character in the MCU on the hero side.

Well, it's also the Civil War guys who wrote the movie(s) with the Russos, and lol if they don't follow the standard 3-act structure with their "oh poo poo, things have changed (but not really)" ending with THE ULTIMATE MOVIE...PART 1

I mean I presume they are actually going to kill anyone whose contract is up and doesn't want to renew. If RDJ actually wants out he's dead meat. Who else is in that camp? Chris Evans?

Evans has said he'll be back if they want him back. Or in other words, if they want to pay him he'll keep doing the movies. Hemsworth is in the same boat. RDJ has said he feels like he's getting too old so he might be done, or maybe just backed down to cameos or voice work.

Evans stopped making noise about being done after Marvel's TV and movie divisions split (so suddenly he was getting more money), and he also quieted down after his directorial debut basically did a wet fart.
RDJ is in the coy "eh, I might keep doing it, but they could recast me" mode, which he's been doing ever since he went to movie-to-movie deals starting with Age of Ultron.

It also makes sense for Stark to martyr himself, considering every IM and Avengers film has dealt with him facing his issues, loving up, and realizing he can't play super-king. Letting go of it all and trusting everyone else to keep things under control is the natural conclusion.

Something that I really like about Suicide Squad is how it works as its own film as well as a extension of the political allegory of the Superman Snyder movies. Suicide Squad can easily be read as an allegory for the Iraq-Iran conflict, where the U.S. government attempts to make an ally of a foreign power (Enchantress) in the hopes that it will help them further their own agenda. They even uses Enchantress to get weapon plans from Tehran.

But I feel like in this reading Enchantress is more like the boogey man based around the U.S.'s idea of Iraq where she actually is building a weapon of mass destruction. Amanda Waller is both frightened and fascinated to find out that Enchantress, in an ironic way, really did "have the same interests in mind" as she did, taking part in an arms race and assembling an army of soldiers with no real free will of their own.

Also, the Squad is obviously the U.S. army, being promised minor benefits for their involvement and receiving no real thanks or recognition for their work, in the end finding themselves in pretty much the same social situation they started in.

Excalibur isn't really a great movie, but it's definitely a great-looking movie. It's worth a watch.



Agreed. I saw it in the theater when I was 14 and a fledgling D&D nerd so I was a tiny bit disappointed with the lack of dragons and trolls and poo poo but there was still something fascinating about; back then and even now. It's a crazy loving movie and it drips with eye candy but it's...loving strange. I liked it better than BvS for whatever that's worth but a lot of the criticisms that apply to BvS carry over pretty equally to Excalibur and I can see the similarities the more I think on it.

I think it's also likely that one of the big names in the Avengers is going to die in Infinity War, and it's probably down to Cap or Tony.

Evans said recently that he’d be open to extending his contract if Marvel offered. Johansson said she’s done and I think Bettany and Olsen are done too. The contracts for Ruffalo and Hemsworth are also up.

Nah, Pine was completely unknown at that point, and even him getting the lead in Star Trek was a completely happy accident. John Krasinski was the Captain America backup (and, by some accounts, Joe Johnston's first choice, but they couldn't work around his Office schedule).

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:

There isn't much to like in the Marvel movies (Jesus Christ, Civil War is such a slog anytime Chadwick Boseman isn't on screen, and their stubborn insistence on "Sebastian Stan: Leading Man" is ... charming), but the increasingly hilarious pieces they put on Evans in each movie amuses me to no end.
