Marvel Cinematic Universe, Phase 4 & Beyond (and a chance to change your vote)

the world I come from and the world of Marvel, that has been divided in a way that’s so unfair and unfortunate

is she complaining about Strange Tales, or cheering for the Lethem/Dalrymple Omega?

Lol JiC

Josh OTM

I have no doubt that she could make a great MCU movie, this was the absolute wrong property. (And honestly, could any director have made this a great movie?)

they’d need a cool angle, which has yet to exist in the comics. as far as I could tell, they riffed on the Neil Gaiman series a bit and added in the dance number

even Jack Kirby’s original take was “uhh, I did the New Gods thing at DC and want to do more stuff like that” and it was just… halfhearted?

Nova comin'

Interesting going w/ Rich Rider versus new Sam Alexander (who was in Ms. Marvel's Champions team, maybe an easier intro connection). Rich is 'my' Nova. RR/Nova also opens up having the Annihilation War as a big Phase finale event, plus his relationship with the Guardians and other space MCU characters.

Loved Moon Knight E1.

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Thought Isaac was great.

Looking forward to more of it anyway.
Don't know the character much

I need the entire season now

loved it

Yup, pretty fantastic. Great music choices too.

Englebert!! Love that choice <3

Thought Isaac's accent would infuriate me, but he was very likeable by the end.

I guess the MCU has reached the "low-selling 1990s Peter Milligan miniseries" portion of its content, which, great

I would have watched another couple of episodes straight off if it was being dropped like that. Got a few other things to catch up on though.
Kept forgetting what time Killing Eve was on so turning onto it half way through but have now watched most of teh season.

Love too try and make oscar issac seem dorky and not handsome

i mean he cant not look the way he looks but he did a p good job of seeming shlubby when he did the terrible shirt & tie … and the bags under his eyes look v authentic

dorky AND handsome is pretty much oscar isaac's brand tbh

I am amused by his performance I was not clear!

a part of my soul died when steven ordered the well done steak

yeah wish they had released the whole show, this was a fun opener, Isaac's lame "laterz gatorz" was such a lonely, Nathan barley-esque catchphrase and that well done steak scene was pretty sad and tragic, a man melting, in his bizarre world. Enjoyed pharoah hawke scenes, he's up for this mystic guru schtick. Don't know anything about this character so have no clue where this is going. kinda wish they didn't use an identikit venom voice for his alternate persona, was a bit distracting.

I thought the Khonshu voice was an… interesting choice. I did crack up when I saw in the credits that it’s F. Murray Abraham

i have a dumb queztion - is the statue he sat & talked to meant to be someone recognizable? or is it just Random Statue of a Guy Gesturing

The street performer?

He's a character from the comics but no-one you'd recognise from the MCU

ok thx - i wasnt thinking MCU so much as general popular culture

Frenchie "Duchamp's" number was in the cell phone, so I am sure he will show up at some point.

I got to wonder if at some point 'Jake Lockely' will show up.

Dr. Strange tickets on sale and one last trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLTYw1s4e-8

Also looking ahead to the Echo series, a snippet via io9:

According to costumer Stacey Caballero’s resume on her personal website, both Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio will return for the Echo spinoff series at Disney+.

Ooh looking fwd to that one.

Meanwhile, Moon Knight continues to be good, loved ep 2. Oscar Isaac has excellent comic timing.

Absolutely, especially with himself

loving it - ep2 had some v funny moments

also enjoying Hawke in this too, he’s v good imo

Digging MK too. Is there a villain in Dr Strange MoM?

The teasers show Mordo and Gargantos (tentacle monster). Scarlet Witch could go either way, and they might be hiding a main villain like Nightmare until release.

There also appears to be at least one evil Dr. Strange

yeah evil Strange merging with all the dark spirits was the scariest part of the trailer

About right

/2 Also: Moon Knight is part of a genre that depicts ancient pantheons not as distant beings with unknowable goals but as collections of petty slap-fighting assholes, which is FAR more mythically accurate. I mean Zeus is not Liam Neeson. Zeus is weekend Andy Dick.

Okay so Moon Knight continues to be awesome.

Haha, yes. I was thinking it was beginning to get a bit more standard Marvel and then that last 15 minutes was fantastic

Once you start hearing Stath lets Flats in Oscar Issac's 'British' accent, you cant ever unhear it.

7mins into Ep2, when he talks to the statue is a good example.

This show rules so hard

Loved the end

:D

everyone stop what you’re doing and listen: Michael Benjamin Hernandez – Oscar Isaac’s irl brother who was the Marc/Steven double on set – had a fake #MoonKnight character name, MORK SPHINCTER https://t.co/8RSYejLcZ9 pic.twitter.com/kFTZtrkdDc

Hahaha perfect

the double is his brother with a prosthetic nose?!

this is a twist I did not see coming. ironically, one of the first things to pop in my head this morning was that, while watching this week's episode, I never thought about how they pulled off the scene where they're both there, I just nodded and thought "yup, there's two of that guy"

same here, until I saw that tweet. And also now delighted to inform that his brother’s twitter handle is @BroDameron lol

I just assumed it was like Orphan Black & they got somebody to body double him to get the placement right and it was then both him plus editing. Like help him.by having a person there to play off etc.

They’re very “I am acting!” but I love the little switcheroos when Isaac swaps between personalities in the same camera take

Otherwise this show is such an odd mix of the unusual and the perfunctory, but it’s certainly v. watchable and well-acted, so I can’t complain, and the show is fantastical enough that it just about lampshades its ignorant exoticisation of mental health disorders

man this episode kinda wrecked me
goddamn i love this show

Yeah just finished it. Hell of a thing. Next week will be something else I suspect.
