Cap has dealt with Tony for how long? I think his tolerance for dealing with eccentric billionaires is pretty high.

Yeah but Tony's bullshit is pretty straightforward. olOnce he gets a look at how much of an insane paranoid lunatic Bruce can be, he'll punch him in the face. Then Batman will tell him about the time he got attacked by an evil cow that was in Superman's Neighbor's backyard.

I started my rewatch of the MCU today, and man Iron Man still hits the spot nearly 10 years later. RDJ will always be the quintessential Tony Stark, so Iron Man will need to be someone else after Avengers 4

I like how right near the end Coulson says “this isn’t my first rodeo” when telling Tony what the PR plan is; obviously at the time the line was supposed to be a government guy saying some smooth composed thing, but now it can be retroactively seen as a reference to whatever goes down in Captain Marvel

See I disagree with this in a way. IM is a brilliant movie, and RDJ really carries it, but his character in the movies is nothing at all like what I got from the comics. If anything he's closer to Peter Parker with his wise-cracks. Note: I am not complaining or criticizing since if they had gone more like the books, the entire franchise might never have taken off.

At the time IM came out, Stark had just come out of Civil War in the comics and was getting a lot of hate from readers, so they really got it right.

What I meant to say was that RDJ took the character and made it his own, like I really can’t imagine anybody else being Tony Stark for the foreseeable future. I don’t think this whole thing blows up like it does without a charismatic lead

The Justice League always feel more like co-workers. Sure they meet up at the Watchtower when the world's in danger, but you wouldn't see them just hanging out. The Avengers are (usually) friends with each other; you could see them meeting up to play cards or table tennis or something.

No reason they can't cast an Asian actor? I mean, they did with Shocker. I wish we were past the point of Kingpin outrage (see all the people who lost their poo poo over Zendaya) but if the actor or actress is talented there's no reason to not cast them right?

This makes sense. I'm trying to think of stories where the League gets punchy with each other, but I can't think of any like Civil War. You have your fights with alternate universe versions and stuff like Blackest Night, but I can't think of The Flash just having it out with Aquaman. I guess it's because it wouldn't be as effective emotionally?

The Justice League was DC’s heaviest hitters getting together to fight big threats, while the Avengers was a way to find something to do for B listers.

JL crew has their own 3 or 4 books to take care of, they don’t have time to live in a Justice Mansion and play cards.


Flashpoint was Wonder Woman fighting Aquaman but that was an alternate timeline. There’s Tower of Babel, which is Batman’s plan to take out everyone but not actually used by him in that story.

As much as I like Kraven, he's not great for his own movie. He'd be better as a backup villain in a Lizard story - There are rumors of some big crocodile creature running amok in NYC. Kraven is Steve Irwin on steroids and spidey has to save the lizard from this meathead idiot. I'm sure they've done it before, but it's a pretty good story.

If the movie universes were joined pre-Civil War, you could have had the Kraven's gimmick is that he hunts costumed vigilantes. Right now, I don't see a guy who hunts Spider-man getting public opinion on his side.

I think Kraven could be interesting if he shows up hunting what he's heard of Spider-Man, maybe to the point of dismissing Parker as a pretender when they first meet. I think there's an interesting story that could be told about Peter Parker dealing with the myth of Spider-Man versus the reality, particularly early in his career and doubly so with how reckless and prone to getting in over his head MCU Spidey is.
