Well if we're going to pull Fazekas quotes, I might as well use one from her io9 interview:

I don't see why the one-shots wouldn't be canon. Abomination/Blonsky was mentioned in The Consultant (not A Funny Thing Happened; that one was where Coulson stopped a robbery because he wanted donuts) and again on Agents of SHIELD, but just because we're not likely to ever see him again doesn't mean he stops existing…

They probably disabled whatever controls them (just like knocking out life support on a ship doesn't mean damaging every oxygen-generating piece of machinery).

Marvel has been billing this as a teaser (not a trailer), and that's exactly what it was. I'd expect the real trailer to emphasize the heist aspects; this is just to introduce the general public to who Ant-Man is.

Ya know, I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that Marvel doesn't really need advice about how they should make their movies. They seem to know what they're doing.

They essentially keep doing the same general storylines (Peter gets his powers. Peter finds romance and deals w/secret ID. Spiderman fights the Green Lantern or deals with Osborn Sr/Jr).

He might be tied up to Fox's FF rights, along with Silver Surfer himself. Someone should check with Feige about UPC's status.

This was the first episode I've ever watched of the show (I just didn't turn off the TV after Agents of SHIELD). Knowing practically zilch about the episode or the anonymous caller or anything, I figured out that the shrink was the stalker pretty quickly. Complete agreement about it being a cliché.

I think the emotional payoff from Tripp's death will hit in the second half of the season; it will likely temper Skye's excitement at gaining her powers if she thinks that it had anything to do with Tripp's death. (this is her "with great power comes great responsibility"-esque moment)

One would assume that Marvel Studios would pay Sony for use of the franchise, which means that Sony makes money with absolutely zero costs up-front. Compare that with Amazing Spider-Man 2; it made $709 million but only after they spent $200 million. Yes, that's still $500 million, but that's with a LOT of work and a…

Ah yes, establish that Jim Gordon is dead. That's a really good way to say "fuck you" to DC's television offerings. Now they just have to recast or kill Constantine and Green Arrow to complete the wipe-out of their television lead characters.

He would have had more creative control since Kevin Feige wasn't the supreme overlord he sees himself as now.

Oprah Winfrey was nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Oscar in her film debut back in 1985.

Just from a story perspective, the X-Men would be hard to integrate. "Oh yeah, by the way, super-powered people have widely existed for decades, we just never talked about it" would be such a shitty cop-out. Contrast that with the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man franchises, which feature characters that are created by…

Disney could make Fox an obscenely large offer, but why would they? If Disney paid Fox, say, $4 billion for the X-Men franchise, they'd probably need to make $8 billion back from that franchise just for it to be considered a worthwhile deal.

There's a long tradition of blowing up real buildings for movies. The Cyberdyne building in Terminator 2, for instance, was slated for demolition, so they were able to do whatever the hell they wanted to it.

I think the point is that we've already seen the changed future. The end of Days of Future past (with Cyclops and Jean alive, etc) was the result of the future that played out after they stopped the Sentinel program. That would have still be after whatever ends up happening in Apocalypse.

I hope that FF is going to surprise a lot of people, but I don't think it will.

That is absolutely in keeping with the movie's meta-theme. I'd watch it in a heartbeat.

That is amazing. Bravo.
