EDIT: I thought that this was the Trump LOL thread in GBS.

Though on topic, I wonder if Disney + will ever do Disney + specific movies. Like smaller MCU stories that are too small to put into theaters but couldn't be a full series.

I doubt it….the shows are kind of the place for properties that are not at movie level

I don’t imagine there’s any two hour MCU movie that couldn’t be padded out to a six episode series.

I guess its most likely you'd have a short series like Loki rather than like a 2 hour made for D+ movie.

I bet Disney will see how well the numbers that Guardian's holiday special beings in before they announce anything else like that.

It would be pretty neat if they used D+ to drop 60-80 minute tv movies

I've never actually read any of the new comics with Knull but I hate him anyway because it retroactively makes the mysterious and badass All-Black some dumb symbiote thing.

But Gorr is in the MCU and Venom is not, so maybe it's fixed by default in the movies.

There is a non-zero chance that venom is actually in the mcu, and in my mind the fact that they chose Gorr is a sign that theyre planning on using him later

I get the impression that Disney's new approach to talent in the MCU is a lot like the famous Big Finish lunches that keep Doctor Who actors coming back. After 10-movie contracts and RDJ having to fight for his costars in Avengers it seems like the idea is now to ensure the actors have a good working environment so they keep coming back.

Big Finish lunches?

Leslie Grace has been cast as Batgirl for her standalone movie. She's done In the Heights and basically nothing else.

Big Finish, which produces audio plays for several properties (Doctor Who being a big one), is a really relatively small outfit and can't afford outrageous paydays for their actors. However, they are famous for their catered lunches, which are apparently so phenomenal that actors wouldn't stop raving about them in interviews (to the point that they had to ask people to stop talking about them).

EDIT: Oh poo poo, someone on another site mentioned a possibility I think is very likely: Aneka, Ayo's girlfriend and partner as the Midnight Angels in TNC and Stelfreeze's run. By which I mean probably Ayo's 'cousin' a la Sailor Neptune and Uranus in the 90s Sailor Moon dub, given Disney's approach to LGBTQ rep.

I'm sort of hoping that A) The Namor rumors are true, and B) Cole's from that side of the battle lines. Like she's Namora or Llyra or what have you.

Or hey, maybe she's a variant T'Challa. I guess that's a whole new way to fix actor deaths, huh.

Uhhh... not sure what Batman story you mean? Cuz Burton just did whatever the gently caress he wanted, Schumacher pulled origins from the comics but most did original takes, Nolan kinda pulled bits and pieces from Year One, Killing Joke, No Man's Land, Knightfall and others, and Snyder pulls from Dark Knight Returns...

I don't think it's really based on anything. Probably something early in Batman's career and his first encounter with Riddler. Though people think the Court of Owls are also involved.

Simon Kinberg

This is really it. The quality of an X-Men movie is inversely proportional to the level of input Kinberg had in it.

X-Men, X2, Logan? No Kinberg whatsoever. The Last Stand? Kinberg wrote the final shooting script. First Class? Kinberg has a producer credit because he had done work on the Origins: Magneto script that got folded into First Class, but otherwise had nothing to do with it. The Wolverine? No Kinberg. Days of Future Past? Kinberg did the first draft and then Vaughn and Goldman took over. Apocalypse? Kinberg was the sole writer, and ended up ghost-directing some scenes because Singer would occasionally disappear and not show up for work. Dark Phoenix? Sole writer and his directorial debut, and holy poo poo that was a bad, bad movie.

Yes, I'm ignoring Origins Wolverine because everyone should ignore that.
