I'm by no means hating on this, but am I the only one that sees these streaming services becoming cable 2.0. "Loyal customers, if you buy the Disney, Hulu, Netflix, Espn, HBO, etc, etc, app bundle, you'll get a 20% discount." I feel like it's becoming exactly what we've always wanted for the most part: a la carte cable.
 
Ugh I have a bad feeling about this. Let's hope it's not like Arrow.
 
They should spin off Scarlet Witch into a late night adults only TV show.
 
This is eventually going to backfire. The appeal of Netflix/Hulu is that we don't have to overpay to watch television. Signing up for all these streaming services defeats the purpose of leaving cable.

That’s my thought exactly.

If it's just side characters, then I don't see what the issue is.
An Avengers movie will never focus on Loki, Hawkeye, or War Machine as the main characters, so why not do separate smaller stories about them? I think it would only "cheapen the brand" if they had the bigger characters in them.
But if they're just doing prequel kind of stuff, or side adventures that solo characters took outside of the Avengers, I don't see the negative in that.

If they're keeping the movie actors, using this to help launch their own streaming program, and Feige is apart of this, doesn't sound like theyre going to half-ass this

I feel you. I never quite got into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but I felt that if Hawkeye and Black Widow were played by "high-level" TV stars (Matthew Fox was my Hawkeye pick) that have been in movies and could seamlessly go back and forth between the two, that would have been perfect IMO.

Yeah, A.O.S. is ok, but looks and feels completely mediocre considering where it's based from.
I think the problem with using other actors is that there is going to always be a comparison. What happens when the audience starts to like the TV version better than the movie version? And then you get the casusals and old people that get confused by who is the "real" Hawkeye.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I'm not saying have two different Hawkeyes. I'm saying let a guy like Matthew Fox that's been in big TV series and movies do both in "small" roles. Keep him at the same level as he is in the Avengers and sprinkle him into A.O.S. as a special guest for 20% of the episodes just to form a comfortable, fun tie-in (not that it's really needed at this point).

The ship has sailed now, but I remember thinking this during the first season of AoS and how actors like Jeremy Renner and Scarlet Johanson are overkill considering what their characters actually do in the Avengers movies. I haven't seen Ant-man, but using Evangeline Lily as an example of how she can be on the big screen then return to the small screen where she got stardom for a few episodes would have been cool (even if unnecessary, considering).

This is big.They're going to go all out on this to get people interested in their new network. Now characters that would have never gotten a solo movie will have the opportunity to have their own shows. It's also a testing ground to see if there's enough interest for a solo movie or a new Avengers/G.O.T.G member.

I always wanted a Loki movie and this is the next best thing. If his show is successful, maybe he'll come back. Or it means he already might be coming back...

They did have Lady Sif for one fun episode. That's all I can think of, though.

Scarlet Witch TV Series Official Title Confirmed to Be VISION AND THE SCARLET WITCH

62G8o69.jpg


A new report suggests that Marvel Studios' upcoming TV series, starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany, will be called Vision and the Scarlet Witch. The short, six-to-eight-episode series is being created exclusively for Disney's upcoming streaming service, Disney Plus, which will launch in 2019.

In September, it was reported that Marvel Studios was working on a range of movie-budget limited series that would premiere on Disney Plus. One of the most interesting ideas was of a series starring Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch; only a few days later, there were further reports that the series may co-star Paul Bettany's Vision as well. The relationship between the two is a core part of Avengers lore in the comics, and was faithfully reproduced in Avengers: Infinity War, so this seemed to make sense.

According to the latest report from Deadline, Vision does indeed now have co-star billing. In fact, they report that the series will be called Vision and the Scarlet Witch. It's truly exciting to see secondary characters get top billing in some of these short TV shows. The romance between the two has been a tumultuous one in the comics, in large part because of Vision's struggle with emotion and Scarlet Witch's mental instability. It will be fascinating to see how Marvel Studios choose to adapt that relationship for their TV series.

Marvel fans will recognize that title as an allusion to two important arcs. In 1982, Bill Mantlo penned a four-issue miniseries called Vision and the Scarlet Witch, spinning a plot out of their recent marriage. He described them as "the strangest wedded couple in the world," and indeed his plot treated them as such. Mantlo's story saw the newly-weds confront everything from Samhain, the spirit of All Hallows Eve, to Nuklo, a radioactive man with the mind of a child. Significantly, this even ended with Wanda discovering that she was the daughter of Magneto, the Master of Magnetism. Three-years later, Marvel launched a second limited series entitled Vision and the Scarlet Witch. This saw the couple leave the Avengers after Vision's mind had been corrupted by his creator, Ultron; when the United States Government refused to trust him, Scarlet Witch broke him out of Project PEGASUS and the two decided to blaze their own trail as independent vigilantes.

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is currently a closely guarded secret. Next year's Avengers 4 is the end of the first three phases of the MCU, and it appears to be the beginning of something subtly different. It's distinctly possible that the Vision and the Scarlet Witch series will tap into these classic stories - and explore the nature and powers of two remarkable heroes.

Maybe this will be a prequel and show us how their relationship developed between Civil War and Infinity War.

But what kind of villain would they face?

Society's prejudices.
 
Scarlet Witch is a total goof, and Vision outed himself as a bitch in Infinity War. Making it about anyone else would have been better, except maybe Black Panther - he's as vanilla as they get.
