Everyone posted:One the other hand, anything that gets me more Hannah John-Kamen on any screen I watch is a good thing. Besides, now that she isn't in constant agony from being torn apart and restitched on a molecular level, maybe Ghost has some time to be a conspiracy huffing weirdo. The fact that this would also probably get me more Lawrence Fishburne is a bonus. I doubt this will happen any time soon because John-Kamen is likely going to locked into doing Resident Evil for the next ten years or so since she's Jill Valentine in the one premiering in September. Adding Ghost to the Thunderbolts is a little inconsistent since her whole thing in Ant-Man and the Wasp was resenting being turned into a weapon by SHIELD. Why would she feel any better about it with Ross?

Robot Hobo posted:Unless, by the end of his own Disney+ series, Loki is convinced/coerced/tricked/forced into returning to that moment so that things can play out as they did the first time around. Then it's a ripple, not a wave, no different from any of the other borrowed stones. The timeline can recover from a few ripples, Agents of SHIELD covered that in season 7. And then proceeded to create so many big-rear end waves by the end of the series that we never got to see if that theory was actually right. This raises question about the power stone timeline. Thanos, and his entire armor besides Gamora, is dead, which means that none of the snaps happened and that the Nova Corps still exist, amongst other side effects. If the Loki show has to get him back on a collision course with Thanos, there's other loose ends they need to deal with too.

Robot Hobo posted:It would be especially great if "Daredevil" never showed up or was mentioned in the movie. Peter just has a couple scenes with his lawyers, Nelson & Murdock. Peter may notice that the one lawyer keeps showing up with fresh injuries every time, but says nothing, because it would be rude to ask a blind guy why they seem to be so accident-prone. Nelson & Murdock just showing up as lawyers for other superheroes is something that happens pretty frequently in the comics, especially Foggy Nelson. It's better in Spider-Man 3 so then we can get a scene with Foggy and Happy for the metas.

NowonSA posted:I'm also fully expecting a big ol' cameo or new MCU character that comics fans will know to tease what Wanda will be up to the next time we see her, or as part of resolving this mess. Hell I'll take a big swing and suggest that Disney actually managed to keep a secret and when Wanda's at a pivotal psychological breaking point of deciding to try to just Hex the planet or let it end and lose Vision, Chris Evans will pop up as Captain America (manifesting as Wanda's powers creating a version of him) to give a really good Cap speech and make her let it all go. MCU fans would love it and I think it would be a nice allusion to the time they spent together training and bonding in that time between Avengers 2 and Infinity War. We're all expecting a different cameo, and that'd still be satisfying and make sense to me, but if Wanda's control is slipping to the point where she subconsciously made a Pietro out of thin air, just like she made her kids, then I think Cap appearing in a similar way to Pietro (and with a similar knowledge of what she's been up to) would be interesting. They've name dropped Captain Marvel two episodes in a row so it kind of feels like they're tipping their hand, though she would probably tease more for Monica than Wanda.

It's not that she's sexually attracted to men and women, it's that she's in a relationship with the woman her ex named new leader of Asgard. Makes you wonder if Loki would've had a shot had he not tried to enslave Earth. Then again, Thor dealing with Jane and Valkyrie in a relationship seems like something Waititi and Hemsworth would milk the poo poo out of. live with fruit fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Feb 14, 2021 |

radlum posted:Yeah; I kind of want the twins to still be around, both because Billy and Tommy are great characters in the comics and to see them around with Wanda would be a cool change to their dynamic (since they have had just a few moments together in the comics), and we would avoid the whole "Wanda goes even crazier after losing her kids". If they can stay pre-teens from the 80s to the early 00s, they can stay that way through the early 10s. Plus, yeah, they recast Cassie Lange from a nobody in Endgame to Kathryn Newton, who's starred in her own movies before. When they age the twins up, they'll get real actors to play them.

Supercar Gautier posted:As far as making Wakanda/BP films without Boseman, I feel like making Shuri the lead is far and away the obvious choice by way of popularity and the tech-genius hook, whether or not the character actually takes on the BP mantle. We'll see if the actor goes further down the Carano hole, though. The thing about that is that she was T'Challa's Oracle in the first movie. If she takes over the mantle, who's going to drive the VR cars?

Sanguinia posted:Nakia is an experienced intelligence operative with great knowledge of the outside world and was the one who pushed T'Challa to change and embrace becoming part of the larger world and helping other nations, and she was the River Tribes' Champion at the King Ceremony, AND she was T'challa's romantic interest and could have easily married him and become queen at any time AND she has a built in character arc in taking over sole rule of Wakanda because now she has to operate within the political constraints of the Throne which was something she showed she didn't really understand during the Killmonger crisis. She's also the most likely one to dissolve the monarchy, which is something the series has to deal with eventually. But then, if there's no throne, there's no Dora Milaje and Okoye's gonna need a new job.

tsob posted:I'm kind of wondering how they'll work around how someone else even becomes Black Panther after T'Challa's demise in the story, given that Killmonger burned all the heart shaped herb and T'Challa ingested the last one. They'll probably say that was just one colony in the royal palace, and T'Challa was able to discover another or nurture more due to his spiritual connection or something, but they don't really seem like something that'd be growing wild (or there'd be at least one other Black Panther running around after finding some of them) and there's no reason the palace would have multiple plantations of them but only burn one on the king's orders. It might even tie in to the narrative, with the next ruler needing both to fight for the throne and to find some heart shaped herb to truly become ruler. Or Shuri will just create a synthetic herb.

Timeless Appeal posted:Black Panther never goes deeply into its political structure, but there is clearly this whole council of the different tribes that has power and a big deal is made when Killmonger stops listening to them besides the Tribe that is literally the police. Like is it an ideal government? Probably not, but it's a movie for children telling a fantasy story. It philosophically gestures to Democratic ideals just like it's bad that Aragorn is still a monarch in real world terms, but him kneeling before the Hobbits gets across principles of democracy without going into the wonky creation of Middle Earth Parliament. The first movie is about imperialism, and part of T'Challa's character arc is dealing with how terrible all the previous kings were. By the movie's own language, it has to deal with the fact that Wakanda is not a democracy at some point. Especially since basically everybody but Angela Bassett is displeased with the system as it exists.

Anyone watching WandaVision for the first time after it's finished will be able to binge it and the actual writing and directing and acting of the show will be the exact same.

If it had been released all at once, a lot of discussion on this show would be done. A bonus of the weekly episodes is that there's going to be new MCU material like 45 weeks a year. That's obviously good for Disney, because then people won't cancel their subscriptions, but it's good for fans too because it's practically nonstop.

The movie's called In the Multiverse of Madness. It seems more likely to me that Wanda is the source of that madness.

Phylodox posted:Maybe? But I doubt they'll have the central plot point of one of their major movies stem from a TV show. I'm not saying it can't happen, but I'm doubtful. I think it's more likely that the multiverse stuff will be unrelated to Wanda and she'll be introduced as Strange's ward/student/etc. We already know, or at least can reasonable infer, that she's done some multiverse shenanigans because of X-Men Pietro. We also know that the idea of the multiverse is known, at least in some circles, by the time Mysterio starts attacking Europe. And I don't think we can look at this as just "a TV show." Everything is interconnected in the MCU, to the point that the plot of this show hinges on a consensus bottom five MCU movie, and the shows will probably be no less important than the movies.

Marvel's got no reason to hold back now and needs to get the hype train rolling again, this is the time to be swinging Disney's dick around. This wouldn't be a case of Mysterio lying though. This would be him accurately guessing a paradigm shifting discovery.

One thing that's sort of slipped by is that Hayward pointed out that Wanda doesn't have a codename and then in the next episode Agnes is dressed up like a witch. The clues all seem to be there that she is who everyone thinks she is.

tsob posted:If this was their third or fourth TV show and/or a movie was only weeks away, with a safe atmosphere to ensure people would go see it then I can maybe see that happening. As is though, that movie probably won't be out for at least a year, and with COVID issues it might be even longer before it's released so I think that's unlikely. They need this show to do well, to help sell people on Marvel TV shows as a viable format for the MCU as a whole and doing something like that is outright guaranteed to piss a lot of people off because the story isn't actually self-contained in any way. Doctor Strange 2 was originally supposed to come out this May. They didn't know COVID was going to shut the world down when they started planning everything.
