I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
The Russo Bros are not good directors, and neither Markus or McFeely are particularly good writers and none of them have comics careers worth thinking about, if at all, but even they didn't do something that stupid.

I just remembered that Venom 2: Oops all Carnage was originally supposed to come out this summer. Wonder if that is actually going to happen.

Filming is complete and it's still scheduled for June for now.

Edit: And I just saw an article saying a trailer will debut during the Superbowl.

I’m fully expecting more delays for those films. Morbius was first but Black Widow scheduled for May could easily get bumped again.

Whedon in general seemed to have a real problem mixing comic Cap's tone with movie Cap's tone, and this was a symptom of that.

The line about there only being one God was pretty bad.

Both Guardians films have a moment where someone uses the word "turd" and I cringed both times. It's really awkward both times.

My turds are famously huge!

My pitch for Deadpool in the MCU is that he's on Fox earth and Galactius is eating the planet, and there's a brief voice over where Wade is going "Yea the big purple guy got sick of all the bat Fantastic Four movies too and decided to put the whole planet out of its misery. Though now you're favorite hero, Deadpool, is stuck trying not to be turned into lunch". And he finds a portal that's there for some reason and shows up in NYC, and its exactly the shot from the end of The First Avenger, Wade comments on that, but instead of SHIELD showing up and helping him, the NYPD shows up and just mag dumps into Deadpool.

"Then why didn't you help out against Thanos?"

"Oh, my big metal friend here can explain. Colossus?"

"Wade, I don't want to say this."

"Colossus."

"*sigh* We were busy on the moon."

"And why were we on the moon?"

"Because... we are Inhumans."

"And...?"

"We were always Inhumans. I feel dirty."

I know if they just straight up said that say, the classic X-men have been around this whole time, and their existence has been kept secret due to Fury and Xavier working together. Maybe Fury is keeping the X-men in the back pocket in case poo poo goes so sideways the Avengers need some backup. Or just keeping them hidden so people don't freak the poo poo out. But since the Unsnap happened, mutants are starting to appear and be born, and now they can no longer keep it a secret.

I like the vague idea that Wanda and Pietro were mutants all along and the Infinity Gem awakened it. I like the idea that The Snap or WandaVision causes a chain reaction that awakens mutants en masse. It makes sense (as much as comics do) and is a fun twist on Wanda's comic history.

I don't actually think anything's worth retconning to salvage besides Deadpool and X-Force. And you can play around with that stuff with dimension hopping and meta stuff. But like... Outside of Jackman, Lawrence, McAvoy, Stewart, and Fassbender is there anything we really want to hold onto? And like even if you could get those actors back you can always just wipe their slates clean or bring them in as a dimension jumpers or something. It just feels like it would be easier and more satisfying to start new for the most part.

I dunno. It still feels like so much is in flux and we're about to have a massive multiverse paradigm shift that opens up all kinds of possibilities.

The X-Men live way up in north Westchester. All of their adventures have been contained there so the world just hasn't heard about them. Magneto has been mostly ransacking antique shops.

I can't help but think of my pitch for the post credits scene for Endgame. Credits ends cut to a cinema theater bathroom with four urinals a normal stall and a handicap stall, Hawkeye, Black Panter, Buckey and Ant Man enter and each take a stall followed by Hulk who claims the handicap stall Thor enters and turns on a faucet to splash water on his face. After a moment Deadpool and Cable enter with the former complaining that the movie was too long and that no movie should be longer than two hours and fifteen minutes, two and a half tops and enters the remaining stall. Everyone else looks on at him as this happens and after he enters the stall they all start giving Cable some wierd looks. He responds with "The gently caress you lookin' at." Cut to black.

I definitely want a Lego Celestial. I am not putting this in spoilers because it's an Eternals movie and Celestials will be in it. And were already shown in Guardians of the Galaxy in any case.

I don't even want to keep any of the Professor and Magneto actors. I got plenty sick of every movie being about them and Mystique no matter how it started over the seemingly 34 X-Men movies that have happened already. I'd be fine with Professor X not even being in the first few MCU X-properties, and even happier to just never see Mystique again.

Yea honestly, outside of like Wade and some others from Deadpool, i say wipe the whole slate clean and get a new bunch of actors in there. Though i don't have a problem with them keeping New Mutants cast in there. Especially Anya Taylor-Joy being pretty hot right now.

Also I really hope Marvel resists the desire to just have the core X-men again, Scott, Jean, Bobby, Warren, hank and of course Logan. Gimme some Glob Herman, Hellion, Bling and Eye Boy.

Uh wait, they could totally do Spider-Man and the X-men.
