Star Wars becoming part of the MCU would be dumb But if they did a What-If comic where they mashed up the franchises, make it like 4 or 5 issues long, that would be fun.

Schneider Heim posted:How would you feel if Star Wars became a part of the MCU? That's probably how they plan to end Infinity War.  The universe lies broken and Ned gets his hands on the Infinity Gauntlet. As he concentrates to try and restore things to the way they were, his thoughts stray to the time he and Peter built his Lego Death Star. And when he opens his eyes, Stan Lee and Yoda are there to congratulate him for restoring balance to the Force.

If Star Wars became part of the MCU there'd have to be a weird moment when the characters in the MCU wonder how the Star Wars movies somehow came to life.

If they wanted to put Easter eggs of ancient relics in the background or make vague reference to the force in their cosmic movies I wouldn't groan too hard but as long as the movies exist in universe (Spider-Man has seen Empire Strikes Back) I don't think they should gently caress around like that.

The plot in The Last Jedi ends up being the resistance and the first order racing to collect a sigh artifact of great power that ends up being an Infinity Stone. At the end of the movie the First Order gets it and celebrates. In the stinger Thanos kills them all and takes it. Howard the Duck becomes a Jedi.

Or they could make that comic where Han and Chewie crash the Millenium Falcon on Earth and Chewie becomes Bigfoot canon, but instead of Indiana Jones finding the Falcon at the end, it’s Wolverine.

I liked the Abnett/Lanning cosmic stuff, but I can't remember. Does Marvel do a lot of Intergalactic stuff or is it mostly confined to the Milky Way? Milky Way seems like kind of a hosed up name for a galaxy, now that I type it.

The precise location of the space stuff rarely comes up, but they've gone far outside the milky way before. You have to understand that the laws of physics and precise scope of the universe aren't really kept track of like in something like Star Trek. And people jump into wormholes and poo poo all the time anyway.

Marvel owes Star Wars a great deal; Star Wars saved Marvel from going under in 1977. I wonder whether you could say one would ever need the other more nowadays. I'm honestly not sure whether Marvel or Star Wars is bigger in 2017.

Marvel puts out more movies and makes more money, but I bet that as mainstream as it is Marvel is still a bit more niche in its turnout than Star Wars, but small enough so that the word only makes sense in comparison.

Marvel puts out more movies for now. Star Wars is just now getting revved up. Basically every measure you can use puts Star Wars ahead of Marvel, from nebulous terms like "brand engagement" to toy sales to blu ray sales to video game sales to licensing value. It's not even a conversation worth having. It's like asking if Superman or Ant Man is more popular.

Beachcomber posted:Milky Way seems like kind of a hosed up name for a galaxy, now that I type it. The real hosed up thing is that we call ALL galaxies "Milky Way" more or less because that's basically what galaxy means in Greek. You can't spell "galactic" without "lactic". Galactus really shouldn't be eating planets. He should be suckling at the universe's teats.

You have to understand that the laws of physics and precise scope of the universe aren't really kept track of like in something like Star Trek. And people jump into wormholes and poo poo all the time anyway. Star Trek is pretty good about the galaxy being REALLY BIG. Yeah, there's wormholes now and then, but for the most part, you get something like Voyager where getting home will take decades, and Federation space doesn't even take up a quarter of the galaxy. Yeah, they're a bit nebulous (hurr) about exactly how long travel takes, but they're pretty clear that getting places takes time, even at faster-than-light speeds. Star Wars is a bit different and never really makes it directly obvious how long hyperspace travel takes, though you can still infer quite a bit given that the scope of the movies never leaves the galaxy and that things like travel from outer rim planet Tatooine to core planet Alderaan is long enough for the pilot to wander around his ship watching someone learn to be a Jedi and a robot play space chess with the copilot, not to mention numerous mentions of the Republic/Empire barely having a presence in outer rim areas. Marvel is a lot bigger in scope, with things happening in entirely different galaxies, but they don't really care about travel time or anything.

In Marvel people just fly to "The edge of the known universe" at sublight speeds like it's no big deal.
