Imagine if Nick fury paged Rickson to fight Thanos LMAO

Rickson by armbar, breaking so badly until he couldn't make a fist.
401-0

What if... Thanos summons Fedor? Will it be Rickson or Fedor by armbar first?

Btw I really don't care about the captain marvel movie. I want a gamora/nebula or gamora/black widow or gamora/scarlet witch.... "Thelma and Louise" type film.

It seems to me like the deck is stacked in terms of it being good. Ant-Man 2 drops in July and then there's no MCU movie all the way until Captain Marvel in March and it is only a matter of two months before Infinity War sequel. They know that a good movie there can help set the hype for IW 2 to a fever pitch (not that they would really need it- the movie will be huge no matter what).

You have Larson who is a legitimately good actress and then a lot of other strong actors- Sam Jackson's back, Clark Gregg is back, Lee Pace is back, Djimon Honsou is back, Jude Law should be cool and you also have Mendelssohn, an awesome character actor. Factor in that the Skrulls are going to get introduced and that the post credits scene will probably feed right into IW follow up and I think it's highly likely it will be good.

culturally he can't touch Vader and won't either. Darth Vader is part of iconic pop culture like the shark from Jaws or Nolans Joker. Vader is a legendary character and one of the most recognizable screen villains of all time.

Thanos was great though but not close to Darth Vader

Vader has been prominent for 40 years on the big screen. But like a lot of Star Wars, the true excitement lives in the fans' imagination. On screen Thanos > Vader.

Did you guys see comichisexplained video on YouTube on how to introduce the FF? He wants the FF to be lost in space (explaining their absence) and have say the guardians bring them back to earth.

Love the idea of using the S.W.O.R.D. angle
Love the idea of losing the not calling them the F.F. I'd take it step further and not call them any code names: Just Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny.

I'm going to watch this, but first I want to share my idea for introducing the FF and X-Men.

In IW2, as part of the heroes effort in defeating Thanos, they use the Time Stone to reverse all the deaths in the universe.
The use of the time stone creates a ripple in space time and the heroes return to a slightly different Earth than they left.
1. First post credit scene: As the heroes are approaching Earth they are greeted by the Fantastic Four: The World's Greatest Heroes.
2. Second post credit scene: Checking the tv/ radio we see a news program dedicated to The Mutant Problem. End with X-Men cartoon theme music.

I'd be down for this if there was some celestial spice sprinkled in.

This is really just a "wrong" way of looking at this film, or really any film, as far as judging the quality of the film goes.

I have seen people make this argument, and it's silly. It makes a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation. Either the good guys win, like they always do, thus we have the "predictable hero movie", or the bad guy wins, but, "obviously it's a fake out and they'll just deux ex machina it in the next movie" There is no winning if you're thinking is that limited.

The mistake people are making is thinking about all the outside factors that have nothing to do with the actual movie. The movie did not end the way it did as some sort of stunt, or "fake out". That was the story. You weren't supposed to be thinking about actor contracts, and what sequels are on the horizon for individual characters. You were supposed to be in the moment of the story. The characters don't know that they have sequels. You're supposed to be feeling their story. You guys are ruining the movies for yourselves by over thinking them

And the Russos said that this movie could be a standalone movie, and they're right.
If somehow the already filmed Avengers 4 movie disappeared, along with all the actors, this movie could stand alone as the end of the MCU as we knew it.

I would have loved to see the same leeway from you with the Last Jedi.

Depends on what we vibe with it seems.

Liked the movie just didn't love it.. from my point a view a 7/10 is a fair score and I'm not deep into the MCU all things considered, I only have a little over a handful of movies that I do care to revisit.

Imho hela was the best villain so far. Really hope they bring her back. Cate blanchette looked hot for the first time. Btw where is valkerie?

Hela was badass but had zero development. Pretty forgettable

I gave it an 8. Ragnorak, black panther, and civil war were better IMHO

I agree with you. Vader is all bark and no bite. Thanos did so much more in one movie. He said he was going to do something and he did it. He also was cool and collected. Vader gets all pissy yet he never does anything badass. Vader looks cool but for me he'll never be a top villain because I can't really remember any particular scene of his that demonstrates his power. All we hear is how amazing he is but he doesn't do much to live up to it

I want a Hell prequel. Her conquering Asgard with Odin, their falling out, and her imprisonment.

Choked dudes, blew up planets, killed all the jedi, banged a princess

Hmh I do think Civil War was better and yea BP might just be a better movie at least I liked Killmonger the most I was so surprised by that character he came from nowhere and made me a fan instantly.

Ragnorak is just fun that soundtrack, the color, the action is just an action fest but I don't think it's the better movie then Infinity War. I guess they did their best with it so many characters to try and jungle and have their moment don't know if anyone could have done it better.

That would be cool but right now these movies seem to only care about the heroes. Probably why I loved infinity war so much. Finally gave a villain some development

Yea they are all good and infinity war is a tough film.to pull off. It sounds easy but the execution is very difficult IMHO

Lots of people do the force choke. Meh. I guess I'm just not a star wars fan. I remember watching the movies and not being that impressed with him besides how he appeared. Rogue one was his only badass moment.

 

[nefti]

I have a feeling that the captain marvel film isn't going to be a sure thing.

Beyond problems with the comedy writing and IMHO worse acting(outside of Hamil and Driver) I think a fundamental difference is that The Last Jedi isn't honest with its deconstruction of the heroes and indeed doesn't have the balls to follow though with its ideas.

The deconstruction of the good guys Johnson looks to carry out simply doesn't deal with Starwars as it existed previously, that STarwars had delt with a lot of the issues he raises but done so in IMHO a far more adult and successful maner so he's left having to make arbitrary changes to chaarcters like Luke in order to have a pop at them. Marvel doesn't do this though, the way the heroes are tested by Thanos doesn't involve them acting in an out of character fashion or indeed simply proven wrong via plotting ala Poe/Holdo.

The Last Jedi ultimately is a gutless film as well, unlike say EMpire Strikes Back or this film it doesn't commit to its own ideas. Instead we see Rey reject Kylo totally and the two of them become bland good vs evil characters whilst Luke becomes exactly the legendary hero he'd been reatcing against and has a pretty emopty confrontation with Kylo.

The Last Jedi's combination of in my opinion arrogance and ultimately stupidity and cowardice, placing itself above the classic films but then failing to show the same intelligence and bravey as this is really what rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
