I'm sure there were. Just as there were MCU fans that harassed the girl that played Tony Starks daughter or celebrated dropping nukes on japan because Disney almost lost Spider-man or liked BP because they thought it was a pro-trump movie. Drawing a comparison between outliers and a group as a whole is incredibly disingenuous.

Turns out that the internet really does make people stupid.

Sorry to bring this up, and I understand that there is some bleedover between movies and tv shows and whatnot but could the WandaVision chat go to the tv thread. Just in general there is a TV thread and a movie thread and it's a bit annoying seeing black spoiler boxes for a tv show here. Thanks for reading my annoying whiny post about forums and have a good day

Yeah, I'd rather read the same loving snyder chat over and over again every three weeks. Wandavision and many of the D+ shows are tied into the MCU and belong here. If anything, please make a Syderverse thread so this poo poo can be quarantined.

Holy poo poo, we're pretending there was no discernible connection between Captain Marvel backlash and Snyder Bros now? What's next Trump supporters and Qanon are totally different?

...What?

None of this makes sense and I think I hate it.

Edit: To be clear, I'm pre-judging this based on never seeing the show and it not even being fully released yet. It's just an initial response to limited information.

There's a LOT going on in WandaVision, but I'll try to give you enough context to explain what the hell is going on with this:

Ever seen that Justice League cartoon episode "Legends" with the Justice Guild where a mutated kid with crazy mind powers forcefully turns a city into a perpetual 1950's comic book? It's basically that, but it's a suburban town in New Jersey that's taken the form of an ever-evolving sitcom reality (each episode is a different decade). We don't 100% know if Wanda caused this herself or if she's being manipulated, but she's absolutely all-in on it and complicit enough to be considered a villain. Episodes usually take the form of tropey sitcom plots with the occasional crack in reality. Maybe it's the government trying to break in. Maybe it's one of the "neighbors" trying to break free. Maybe it's Vision having a moment of "wait, what?" Other than those interruptions, it's a paradise for Wanda and she will gently caress you up if you try and take it from her. Meanwhile, the government folks monitoring the situation can literally see these sitcom episodes via TV signals.

After she gives birth to twins, Wanda has a moment of bending character when she tells someone about how she is a twin and had a brother named Pietro, all while returning her Sokovian accent. Probing the topic further does not go so well for the other character, as it starts to break the fantasy. In a later episode, her kids, now older (long story) ask about her brother. Wanda stays more in character and is more vague about Pietro, saying that he's "far away" and that thinking about him makes her sad from time to time. The same episode establishes that while Wanda can potentially bring the dead back to life, she is incredibly reluctant.

In the final moments of the episode, during an incredibly tense moment, the doorbell rings. Wanda sees X-Men Quicksilver at the door, who gets a sitcom hoot-and-holler reaction from the audience and a personality similar to Uncle Jesse from Full House. He's all happy to see his long-lost sister. Watching this on TV, Darcy from the Thor movies wonders if Wanda actually recast her own brother. Wanda's reaction is shock and confusion, like she realizes something isn't right, but she embraces her "brother" regardless. Then Quicksilver makes a one-liner about Vision and the show ends.

I mean it was established way back in avengers that SHIELD was UN backed and also under the purview of the fictional world security council, it's not like Fury literally just built it himself. I just meant as director shaping it into what it was by IM1

Yeah, but it's easier to go all pater familias when it's a sprawling international agency so you can explain how 10 armored subterranean drilltrain warships operate without respect to national treaties, accountability, or financial oversight.

So Wandavision direct talk - like endless spoiler boxes and direct recaps/reactions of the current episode - probably need to go in the TV thread. That said, I think discussion of how Wandavision might connect to/influence the wider MCU can belong here. MCU TV is in a weird spot in that it both does and doesn't belong here. So yeah, TVIV-like reactions should go in the TV thread but wider MCU posting - including Wandavision - can go here, imo.

As for Snydertalk, let's just put a moratorium on Snydertalk until there is any new news. There is bad faith posting all over and it's just become really annoying.

As for Blade, I would like to restate my support for the stunt-casting of Keanu Reeves as Dracula.

It would have been cool to get a Shang-Chi spot during the Super Bowl, but OTOH Marvel apparently hasn't used the slot to debut first footage of a film since 2011, and I don't think we're going to get any significant marketing at all until it has a release date they're actually confident in, which is not going to happen until they decide whether or not to delay Black Widow yet again.
