In development or in production? They’re two very different things. They’ve got dozens of projects in development, not as many currently in production.

The only MCU movie we’re getting in 2024 is Deadpool 3, everything else that would have been this year got delayed into 2025 because of the strikes.

For live-action D+…

The beauty of this is anyone can be Kang.

Best approach: Recast Kang, and simply don’t comment on the fact that he looks different. The characters don’t need to acknowledge it. It’s the same character played by a different actor, it’s happened before, it doesn’t need in-world explanations.

I got a Community notification for this?!

Phases 4 and 5 will hereon in be referred to as the “gas leak phases”

“The “franchise IP” label is technically accurate for something like Lord of the Rings, but that doesn’t quite feel right when applied to J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary masterwork.”

I love that so much of our culture now is just simply recognizing things. “Hey! That’s the character I like from the show I used to watch!” 

I’ll keep saying it until I’m blue in the face: The Marvels was ALWAYS going to be a failure, irrespective of its quality.

Captain Marvel is a bad film, full stop. Yes, it made a billion dollars, but a massive part of that was women viewers, who otherwise didn’t give a shit about Marvel or the MCU, coming out in droves…

I’d say writing and compelling characters with real story arcs matters a lot if you want people to keep coming back for the next one if the plan is huge interconnected series like Phase V.

Saw it yesterday with Jr Bear - he’s 10 and had no qualms about a super hero movie starring women. I will say I thought it was perfectly fine. There were some quirky edits - like I recall a specific one where the camera cut to a direct headshot of Brie Larson while she said like 3 words then cut elsewhere. It was…

No, it’s not franchise fatigue. No, it’s not superhero fatigue. No, it is not how interconnected everything is. It is the writing. Period.

AHAHAAHAh

I’m pretty sure Marvel is just waiting as long as possible to see what happens to Majors.  Recasting him should be easy.  After all, if Loki can be a woman, Richard E Grant, or an alligator, then Kang can be Not Jonathan Majors.

So how did killing an AI on a planet burn out a whole star??

3 - I’ll have to rewatch the movie, but pretty sure at the end, the Saber employee told Fury that they sent a team to help Aladna.

I guess lists like this are destined to call forth “what about” reactions, but there are so many mediocre to bad films here (anybody who still hasn’t read this absolute destruction of Love, Actually should go do so: https://jezebel.com/i-rewatched-love-actually-and-am-here-to-ruin-it-for-al-1485136388) - but what…

One of the fascinating things about the MCU is how disparate these rankings are among different fans. There are some movies with near-consensus agreement (everyone loves Winter Soldier, pretty much everyone hates The Incredible Hulk), but beyond that....

Is Iron Man 3 a fun, quirky, weird, character-driven delight, or…

if I could inflict my opinion on the comments section here:

I’m disappointed we never got more Edward Norton as The Hulk/Banner. That’s not a dig at Ruffalo who has made the role all his own, but I always liked his portrayal of the character.
