The Marvel/Sony Superhero Movies Thread

[Ivan Drago]

That's a safe bet. The problem with that theory is it will likely be another team up movie. I don't think there will be many more strictly, SOLO MCU movies after Black Panther.

Captain Marvel, maybe?

I disagree with the premise that there hasn't already been a truly terrible MCU movie.

I've heard that about Thor: The Dark World. That's the only MCU movie I haven't seen.

[TGM]

Thor: The Dark World is far from terrible. Even the ones I consider the worst MCU movies (Iron Man 2, Ant-Man) are hardly anything I'd actually consider to be terrible, even if they're certainly not good...

Captain Marvel, maybe?

She will likely team up with Captain America, GotG, or Thor. Likely Captain America and Falcon (just my guess)

And somehow I forgot about Dark World which is awful.

Thor 2 was mildly diverting enough to reach "not basement-level garbage."

I can't quite say the same for The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2.

[number8]

Which one would that be? The worst ones just seem forgettable to me.

I tend to think that boring forgettable movies are terrible. In the MCU ranking thread I rated several movies 5 and below. I don't mind calling anything below 5 a terrible movie.

Tom Holland said in a HuffPo interview that he talked to Kevin Feige and they decided that this kid in Iron Man II was Peter Parker. So there you go. Utterly meaningless but nice little retcon.

[Peng]

First half of Thor 2 is awful; the second half manages a big-scale climax that feels playful, fun, and not deafening for once. Not enough to get it above average, but enough for it to not to be garbage.

[Dukefrukem]

I'm not sure Thor 2 does anything good except introduce an infinity stone.

I suppose there's two scenes I really like:

When Heimdall discovers the cloaked ship
When Loki is hiding his grief for his mother

Spider-man Homecoming getting rave reviews. I particularly like these lines:

The result is a “Spider-Man” that feels a little more punchy, laugh-filled, and exciting than one might expect from a property that’s already been given plenty of chances to succeed.

The magic of Homecoming is that it belongs more to the John Hughes cinematic universe than the Avengers’

So, yes, after 13 long years, we have ourselves another great Spider-Man movie – arguably the best

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a franchise reboot done right.

winning combination of a fun superhero adventure tale with a heartwarming story about a regular kid dealing with some very relatable issues

With all this against him, Watts delivered exactly the kind of shake-up the MCU — and the Spider-Man — franchise needs

[Henry Gale]

I have seen it and I agree.

[Dukefrukem]

Captain Marvel, maybe?

Rumored to be teaming up with Nick Fury

[Dukefrukem]

I'm not sure which is more impressive. That Spider-man is now 93% certified fresh, making it the second highest rated MCU movie behind Iron Man?

Or that a movie with 6 credited writers actually turned out OK?

Interesting casting news going on for Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Randall Park has been cast as Jimmy Woo, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. THis news combined with Jackson's return to star next to Captain Marvel may signify that SHIELD is being put back together.

[number8]

1. SHIELD has already been publicly put together and back in charge on the TV show. If the movies want to rebuild it differently, I smell an internal civil war coming up in Disney.

2. SHIELD is not what Jimmy Woo is mostly known to be a member of in the comics, so I wouldn't read that into it. I'm thinking it could be something else. Or maybe even a flashback thing.

3. Yay Randall Park!

There was footage synopsis as well.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Looks like he's trying to pass an Infinity Stone.

[Morris Schæffer]

Looks like he's trying to pass an Infinity Stone.

He won't stand a chance against our intrepid heroes, of which there are even more now.

I figured this movie out already. Tons of action, a phalanx of superheroes and villains blasting across the screen, expensive FX, zero stakes.

[Dukefrukem]

Fuck the movie. I just like seeing them on stage together.

[Dukefrukem]

Saddened to learn that Fox is developing a Doctor Doom movie. Deep down I was really hoping they would make a Marvel deal for post Phase 3.

[number8]

Noah Hawley, though...

Noah Hawley, though...

I'm not familiar with Fargo or whatever that new X-Men show is called. I forgot already.

Downton Abbey, though?
