Rolling Marvel Cinematic Universe thread (+ a poll: Classic or Dud?)

xpost have there been any genuinely excellent superhero games other than the capcom series (starting with Children of the Atom I guess)...

maybe Arkham?

dave axelrod is on that spider man album!

pringles

The Punisher scrolling beatemup is kind of a classic. Some of the PlayStation 2 Spiderman games were very well received. Hulk: Ultimate Destruction gave players the full power they craved but some say it got boring quickly.

It did, but it was still pretty solid, like you the Spider-Man (2) game you mentioned
Arkham series really is the tops though

Comix Zone wasn't based on any real comic but it's great.

the marvel lego and ultimate alliances franchises are well liked and puzzlequest is satan
but yeah, arkham

Pretty sure I read something about how Marvel plans to step up the QC on their movie tie-in videogames so that they're games that people actually enjoy playing rather than wholly perfunctory pieces of crap.

I'm kind of surprised by how excited I am at the prospect of a Captain Marvel movie.

WB has been pretty lucky with both Rocksteady (Arkham series) and Netherrealm (Injustice: Gods Among Us), which btw is wonderful fan service that's actually a pretty good video game
I think since they've already done this with Marvel Studios and films, they should invest in their own developers like WB has

thing about that slurry of westerns is the context of a lot more studio movies, espesh the Bs which were torrential and cheap and make up most of that list; the major studios were not spending entire GDPs on terrifyingly marginal investments in horses.

whoops forget it

Ditto, CM and Black Panther are the two I'm most excited about now.

loving that captain marvel comes out a year before the delayed shazam now

remember when ppl itt were discussing whether or not tony and pepper were in a romantic relationship

that was funny

sucks global warming's gonna take us all before we get to see black panther or cpt marvel

promises, promises

so t'challa's gonna be costume in civil war and it sounds like he's gonna be taking spidey's place

apparently there was a "sketch" w/rdj and evans fighting and chadbo (taking credit for that now do not forget) caught in the middle and feige said that it was meant to "signify" what happens in the movie, which is good news bc yay black panther and also it'd be so ridiculous if they managed to cram spidey into this universe

seems a little soon for civil war but w/e it will probably be some riff on the theme

As long as I don't have to watch Agents of SHIELD for any of this to make sense, I'm down with whatever.

welp, i woulda thought this was fan built until the crowd goes nuts

a teaser trailer for a movie four years away from playing in theatres has got to be some kind of record, right?

and with the movie that precedes it in the series not yet having reached cinemas itself!

Yeah, I think even LOTR / The Phantom Menace were only one or two years behind. But didn't look as fan-made of course.

Who the fuck cheers at the cinema? And cheering a fucking trailer for a film years away!!!!!! Gross.

It was at that rollout event right? That makes a bit more sense

enthusiasm is fucking revolting. scum.

damn right

I wonder if Marvel are even a little bit glad that they don't own the rights to all the characters - an imposed limit on the cinematic universe might make the whole thing more managable?

the current marvel CEO definitely doesn't see a silver lining - they're killing off the fantastic four in the books and chris claremont says they won't create any more x-men characters because the cinematic rights immediately go to fox (tangentially, i'm curious how sony's rights are defined for the "spideyverse" - are characters introduced in spider-man comics inherently theirs? is that why they're plausibly prepping Black Cat?). with movies making so much more than the comics, this guy sees them as giving money away.

look at what marvel is doing with daredevil (initially a fox film property) on netflix - if they got the rights back to spidey or the x-men, they don't necessarily have to have them shaking hands with iron man. at least not right away.

where fox feels the urge to clutter the remainder of this decade with spidey ephemera, marvel could let the franchise take a nap til 2021 and still make hay.

gah sony i mean

Is there anything to stop Fox creating their own mutant characters for the X-Men movies?

they're definitely free to change qualities (i.e. the line-up in First Class), but with so many mutants at their disposal i don't know why they'd bother inventing one with no name recognition whatsoever

where is Dazzler movie

they could get LiLo for pennies

judging by the two quicksilvers, i'm guessing most of these rights agreements name a few specific characters and then "anybody else primarily associated with these titles." so while wolverine probably can't dance through an avengers movie, quicksilver can as long as they call him a "miracle" instead of a "mutant" and he never refers to his dear ol' daddy magneto

Odds are the Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch we're going to see in the Avengers movies will be Inhumans (they're already linked anyway what with Quicksilver's ex and daughter in the comics being Inhumans so the transition isn't that jarring)

yeah there's been a lot of buzz about how the inhumans give marvel that ability to introduce people born with superpowers without fox's ears burning

are inhumans actually born w/ superpowers or do they need to use those crystals?

i think the idea is that the kree has been funking around with our genes like they did with the inhumans and that's why some one-off character on agents of shield has super-strength or whatever

feige (before they announced the inhumans) has denied any connection between the "miracles" and the inhumans but why would he come forward and say "yes, this is how we're going to sneak mutants into our movies five years from now"

They're born with latent powers that are unlocked by exposure to the Terrigen Mists. If they're never exposed, they never exhibit powers.

xp: The Kree fucking around with human DNA is what created The Inhumans so I don't think there's a distinction here. In the comics, they've recently introduced the idea that a group of Inhumans split off centuries ago and mingled with regular humans before exposing themselves to the Mists, strewing Inhuman DNA throughout the population that was undetected until Black Bolt sets off a Terrigen bomb over NYC during a showdown with Thanos, creating a whole new set of Inhumans that didn't grow up in Inhuman society and are basically mutants by another name.

yeah honestly all i know about the inhumans is secondhand through blogs and that black bolt is on lego marvel

so is that how they got around wanda's "no more mutants," or did they reverse that in a different way?

My favourite Inhumans triva fact is that Black Bolt's 'real' name is Blackagar Boltagon

lolll

beyond quicksilver and scarlet witch were any other x-characters made avengers before 2000? adding rogue to Ultimate Funky Fresh Avengers in 2010 presumably doesn't affect the Fox contract, but are there any other characters where both companies could claim equal ownership film-wise?

Ultimate Funky Fresh Avengers

Is this a real thing?
