Avengers: Infinity War

the macguffin in the story makes whoever holds it a god so I expect some reboots and reshuffles on various hero fronts using the gauntlet as way to wave it off

yeah, it def seems like this would be the most sensible place to rejig things for the next phase of the mcu - seems kinda telling that they're holding off on revealing the title of the second part of this one, presumably because it's gonna be avengers: teen tony unleashed or something similar spoilery

Avengers: Heroes Reborn surely. Or The Liefeldening perhaps?

Avengers: DJP's Triumph

Avengers: Deemsnarok

lol what if the main purpose of the infinity gauntlet is to recast the avengers

"I have rewritten reality and Iron Man has always been... played by Robert Pattinson"

the title of the 2 infinity war movie will probably spoil the most important point of the 1st film: the Electric Boogaloo

Avengers: Shakey's Complaint

"Nobody likes this multimillion dollar ridiculously successful and widely praised franchise at all!"

"By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth, such harsh words."

xpost 2 Aven 2 Gers

the movie ends when Thanos accidentally uses the infinity gauntlet to transform himself into Jonah Hex

and the whole MCU was merely prelude to the long-awaited Jonah Hex sequel

*movie ends, Deadpool appears*

"Did you buy it?"

which is set to be titled the league of extraordinary gentlemen 2: jonah hex vs catwoman

A tiny extra detail:

Speculation is he's voicing a Black Order member.

I'm suddenly fearful of the ill-advised introduction of Pip the Troll to the MCU.

Cap has been my favorite MCU character until BP came along. Now fresh off BP it's going to be almost painful to see a movie where Cap is the Team Leader when T'Challa is clearly his equal as a leader in every way.

Bringing the Guardians.. lot in for this. Fuck's that about?

For avenging.

So...got Thursday night opening tickets, come what may.

NUDE THANOS CONFIRMED

thought his face was wrinkly? we have news

xxxp Gamora and Nebula are Thanos's daughters, why would the GotG NOT be in this?

the fact that they're all in it is kind of the point...

The point I think is how many will be left when it's over. Marvel people have talked up their "next phase" ...

Guardian of the Galaxy

Avenger and a Half

the conclusion of these movies would be a swell time to introduce Dr. Doom.

He's part of the Fantastic Four deal so off limits iirc.

In fact, it seems Noah Hawley announced the other week he's making a Doom movie for Fox in the near-ish future.

GIVE ME DOOM

I thought the Disney/Fox deal gave them FF & X-Men finally

Doom is hands down the best villain in comics. It's criminal how badly he's been done. Also there would be something great about a Bad Wakanda all of a sudden popping up on the world stage.

Corporate mergers take a long time and they're not anywhere near even having it approved iirc?

fyi
Under the terms of the agreement, which is expected to close in late 2018 or early to mid 2019, pending regulatory approval

we're a long ways out, assuming it doesn't fall through

Ah well I guess we’ll see

being in the middle of a big merger/spin-off thing at my own workplace, the misunderstanding of timelines is very relatable

another couple years and we'll have this finished

so what is endgame for this universe? are our great grandkids going to have Avengers films?

they'll taper off, then fifteen years later someone will try to add a movie in the same chronology and it'll flop, after which they'll badly reboot it

Rise of the Starks

It just occurred to me yesterday that there's only been two major cast changes in the decade that the MCU has existed, and even those happened very early on. This thing has been surprisingly well planned out. I'm sure they have another decade roughly sketched out, although I'm somewhat at a loss in terms of guessing how that will play out.

My current prediction is that, if Skrulls are a big enough deal in the Captain Marvel movie, the unnamed Avengers movie might be a take on Secret Invasion. Which could make for another big shake-up of the status quo. I think we'll probably see an expansion of the cosmic and magic stuff, as well. Beyond that, who knows. She-Hulk, maybe? Ms. Marvel?

Who besides Rhodes?

Norton > Ruffalo

that Hulk was such a nothing of a movie

oh yeah. Ruffalo was a big improvement. Cheadle is kind of a non-entity in these. Too bad they didn't keep Howard.

I kinda like the Hulk flick. It's the MCU's b-movie. And it's better than Ang Lee's gamma-irradiated turkey.

(I'm trying to talk the gf into rewatching all seventeen(!!!) of the MCU movies that are on blu-ray with me before the new one drops next month. I can give a more up-to-date review when/if that actually happens.)

I’ve been calling this “Avengers: Infinity Fuck” in my head ever since it was first announced years ago, I just wanted to mention that

And it's better than Ang Lee's gamma-irradiated turkey.

this is incorrect

The Ang Lee one is very bad.
