They hung their hat on Multiverse being the new saga and made a complete bollox of it. Maybe the Russos can put some manners on it eventually but I honestly doubt it.
You’d have to think they’re going in with their eyes wide open, but they pulled off a miracle the first time out. Trying to do it again is ballsy. And profitable.
It’s getting more and more likely that the Infinity Saga was an absolute flying unicorn.
The timing wasn’t great for that one
Whodathunkit.
Bucky was right there.
Some of the series have been great. FF looks great. I’m hopeful they can save it with the last few films in the block. And sure then there’s X-Men to look forward to.
From reviews Mackie/Black Cap isn’t the issue.
Dunno if FF looks great. Casting doesn’t look right imo.
Far more excited by Superman.
Tis for some people.

Based on what I had read over the last few months about reshoots and screen tests being bad and the reviews my bar going into this was pretty low. I didn’t think it was bad. In fact in the context of Marvel it was a middle of the road movie. It’s not Winter Soldier and it was never going to be. But it was a coherent story (while accepting it’s a Marvel movie) and it does a decent job of cherry picking positive elements of bad things that been released recently and furthering them.
Good example of this is the use of Isiah Bradley. Falcon and Winter Soldier tv show was dogshit. One of the few interesting storylines out of that was Bradley and there’s more to come there given how we’ll likely get to Young Avengers sooner than later. I didn’t hate the new Falcon storyline either and that has been progressed also.
The main storyline addresses an obvious continuation of a storyline from Eternals and does so in a way that has very broad implications to any subsequent movies.
Overall I think it’s a step in the right direction for future movies and I’m interested to see how Thunderbolts adds to this. Thunderbolts is only like 10 weeks away.

This is officially, then, a ‘developing story’. But we have several names so far: Chris Hemsworth, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Letitia Wright, Paul Rudd, Wyatt Russell, Tenoch Huerta Mejia, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Kelsey Grammer, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Joseph Quinn, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Hannah John-Kamen, Tom Hiddleston, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, and James Marsden.
That means Thor, Sue Storm, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Shuri, Scott Lang, John Walker, Namor, Ben Grimm, Shang-Chi, Yelena Belova, Hank McCoy (aka Beast), possibly-but-not-definitely Sentry, Joaquin ‘The Falcon’ Torres, Johnny ‘The Human Torch’ Storm, Red Guardian, M’Baku, Ghost, Loki, Professor X, Magneto, Nightcrawler, OG Mystique, and OG Cyclops are all set to appear in the next major Marvel team-up. Intriguingly, this indicates several survivors from the upcoming Thunderbolts*. Plus, you’ll expect more of the Fantastic Four to be named here

Channing Tatum back as Gambit in Avengers.
Sounds class!
Had a quick look at Nerdrotic’s youtube channel there, nothing but bigoted AI thumbnails and sensationalist titles. Why post that shit here? Are you a basement dwelling incel or something?
@cluaindiuic Thunderbolts is supposed to be decent.
Overreact much?
Yeah that’s the consensus I’m seeing on it. I’ve barely even seen a trailer for it. Which is probably a good thing.
I mentioned here a few weeks back that I thought Captain America was a step in the right direction. Hopefully this coherently picks up where that left off and tells a good story.
I’m headed tomorrow with my nephews.
I’d say most who discuss Superhero movies on the INTERNET would be alright
