Not sure Stan Lee getting abused would really go down well considering his current situation.

More this than anything sinister:

Is he still having problems with people around him? Stan Lee is great.

Not quite sure where it’s at, I think this was the latest:

I rewatched Black Panther the other day and i still think it’s great right up until the ubiquitous Final CGI scrap, which is basically a cartoon. Definitely the best Marvel villain so far. Did you not like Guardians or Ragnarok?

Both okay, but I generally watch these things when I feel a bit apathetic about life and want to switch my brain off. Ultimately I’ll never get over the absurdity of superheroes as a concept, I don’t think.

I watched Infinity War again and appreciated some moments that I missed first time round.

Like when Cap, Black Panther and everyone were overwhelmed by the aliens in Wakanda. How do they win this one? Then Thor appears teleporting from the forge planet. A literal Deus ex machina.

When Cap takes on Thanos on his own. There’s a fleeting worried look on Thanos. That’s 100% pure goodness from Cap.

(These ones are particularly niche)

Spider-Man teaming up with Iron Man to rescue Dr Strange from aliens is such a typical opening scene from 70s comics. :exploding_head:

Iron Man and Drax battling Thanos on Titan is exactly what happened when Thanos debuted in Iron Man 55. :exploding_head: :exploding_head:

I bought The Infinity Gauntlet recently. Whatever your feelings on Infinity War, I think we can all be pretty glad they didn’t keep the whole “Thanos murders half of all life because a woman rejects him” thing.

With the Captain Marvel trailer now out there the story of how ma boiii Jamie McKelvie came to design her suit is making the rounds once again.

Feel now a bit vindicated from those days when it first came out that I spent arguing with sweaty neckbeards on forums that yes this new costume is excellent and no the bum and boobies Ms Marvel costume should not have been kept.

There’s an important distinction from other Marvel small screen efforts, however. The actors who portrayed these heroes and villains in the Avengers films and their spin-offs, such as Tom Hiddleston and Elizabeth Olsen, are expected to play them in the streaming shows. Moreover, though sources close to the production are staying mum on the cost of the programming, the budgets are expected to be hefty rivaling those of a major studio productions. Each series is expected to include six to eight episodes. Marvel Studios will produce the shows and Kevin Feige, the guru of all things MCU, is expected to take a hands-on role in their development.

errrrr wow?

maybe we’ll finally get that Falcon/Bucky buddy comedy

Interesting. Having more tangible crossover between film and TV sounds good.

I recall from a Disney annual report that there is a risk that Marvel characters will go into public domain after 2030.

So I can imagine Disney sweating their IP as fast and soon as they can before 2030. While, in the shadows, persuading politicians that public domain is bad and private ownership is good.

Disney using Hydra tactics aiming for global I.P. domination.

Nah they’re not in any danger for a good while yet. Disney has been lobbying for decades to have the dates pushed back so nobody else can get their hands on Mickey Mouse. There’re older properties than Marvel for them to worry about.

Also I don’t think it should concern them all that much with Marvel. There’s a million different versions of Sherlock Holmes, but certain adaptations will succeed in spite of the others. Even if the Marvel characters fell into public domain, the MCU would still belong to Disney, they have the reason those characters are successful, so knock-off versions outside of the MCU would stand very little chance of bothering them.

Saw this on Reddit, pretty decent turnaround from the creator

Is this thread limited to MCU films / shows?

Watched Deadpool 2 at the weekend. Very enjoyable. Obviously pretty juvenile but good brainless fun, lots of in-jokes to smirk at.
