Ik the show was problematic, but they can't just get rid of a really good casting for a popular character known for joining the Avengers and even FF for a little while just because a show flopped. If they just moved on nobody would bat an eye. Plus Sam's Avengers lineup is a little lacking.

Discussion Is there an order to the strength of the metals?

0 Upvotes

Between Vibranium, Adamantiun and Uru is there an order for the strength? Adamantium seems to have caused Vibranium to become obsolete as per VisionQuest. But I also know caps shield in the comic isn’t pure Vibranium and is fused with another metal so even stronger than raw Vibranium or Adamantium. Then there is Uru which seems to have more of a magic element than just pure strength.

Is there any logic from the comics on this that is somewhat transferable to the MCU?

Spoilers! Questions on the AIs within the show...

• Upvotes

Alright, so there's a few things about these AIs that I can't stop thinking about.

  1. How is Ultron apart of Vision? Did Vision absorb him in that last shot in Age of Ultron? Did White Vision somehow 'dig him up' from archives or some destroyed Ultron-bot? Has Ultron ALWAYS been apart of Vision's code (When combined with JARVIS, Ultron, Thor's lightning, whatever else to 'birth' Vision in AoU, was some revenant of Ultron always there within Vision?)

2.EDITH - Similar questions - Where does White Vision come across EDITH? He's already gone by the time EDITH is put into play within the MCU.

  1. Do we assume that ALL of these AIs were 'in' Vision the entire time?

  2. Do EDITH & FRIDAY have the experience that the EDITH-in-the-Iron-Man-suit has? Does FRIDAY have the experience of being in the glasses with Peter Parker & Mysterio? (They do allude to EDITH being with Stark at the end, so maybe that answers my question.) If yes, then, White Vision also has all these experiences to draw from.

Obviously JARVIS is the base for which VISION was born.

FRIDAY, Dum-E & U - I get it, they were AIs before Vision came along and worked with/integrated with JARVIS from the jump.

  1. Jacosta - If Jacosta base code is shared with all the other AIs because it was sold to Stark, why does she only resemble Ultron in design? This may be a totally unanswerable question, but it seems to me that Jacosta has no real connection to Ultron but Ultron has a connection to Jacosta, as he is a 'descendant' of her, in a way.

Discussion My Ideal Avengers Team After Secret Wars

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I know this team is very unlikely to happen, but I wanted to share my idea! It's a mix of characters I really like, bringing together beloved and well-established heroes with the next generation. I think each character would have a specific role and something to bring to the team.

I imagine this reboot with new actors playing Hulk, Iron Man, Black Panther, and Wasp (Janet van Dyne).

My team would consist of 10 members:

- Black Panther (T'Challa): Team leader and strategist.

- Iron Man: Technology, financial resources, and equipment.

- Captain Marvel: Raw power and knowledge of space.

- Hulk: The team's tank, capable of taking an incredible amount of damage.

- Wasp (Janet van Dyne): Scientist.

- Black Widow (Yelena Belova): Espionage, infiltration, and assassination.

- Hawkeye (Kate Bishop): Ranged combat and archery specialist.

- Shang-Chi: Hand-to-hand combat specialist.

- Wiccan: Magic and mystical knowledge.

- Speed: Super-speed, reconnaissance, and rapid response.

What do you think of this team?

Do you have any ideas for the dynamics between the team members?

I was watching Vision and this strange comment about the person that the AI Friday was based on. She "helped raise his son". Why didn't she say THAT helped raise TONY? She is the mother of Happy Hogan. HAPPY does have dark hair like Stark and his mother. IS Happy Hogan the love child of Howard Stark? Is there a chance that Happy is the brother of Tony? ??

Question Do you think the Abrahamic God exists in the MCU?

• Upvotes

From what we have seen, there are many different gods in the MCU, and all of the different pantheons from our ancient polytheist religions are portrayed as being real. But none of them appear to be the actual creators of the universe, just higher beings that live in it.

We see that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are still being practiced by people in the MCU, but with all of these other beings from different religions existing, it seems debatable if that is a point for or against their religion.

For example, the Norse people encountered the Asgardians and then started worshipping them thinking they were the ultimate beings in the universe, so maybe the same applies here.

Perhaps something happened where people in the Middle East encountered something they thought was from the God that created the universe, but was actually something else.

Moses could have easily just been some sort of sorcerer claiming to be a prophet sent by God, and he freed the slaves from Egypt to get them to follow him and started Judaism.

Jesus could have been some sort of mutant, and this is how he was born through a virgin and performed various miracles before getting crucified and then coming back, which caused people to think he was God, leading to the beginning of Christianity.

Muhammad could have encountered some other supernatural figure pretending to be the God that created the universe, and it gave him the Quran claiming it was the true revelation, leading to Islam.

Obviously Marvel will never address this for real since these are religions followed by more than half the world’s population, but it’s fun to think about.

Discussion Will Tom Holland’s Spider-Man play a major role in Avengers: Secret Wars?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Since *Avengers: Secret Wars* serves as the final chapter of the MCU’s Multiverse Saga— effectively bringing the multiverse itself to an end—it’s highly likely that we’ll see heroes not just from the MCU, but from other Marvel film franchises as well. Given this, it’s almost certain that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man,

who hails from the MCU, will make an appearance. If he does appear, it could mean a reunion— and perhaps a final one with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. I’m also curious whether he might join the Avengers in this installment. There’s an intriguing theory that the MCU’s Peter Parker could play a pivotal role— perhaps even holding the key to defeating Doctor Doom— and there’s also speculation that he might end up bonding with a symbiote. Do you think Tom Holland’s Peter Parker will be the protagonist of *Secret Wars*? Personally, I like the idea that Peter could defeat Doctor Doom, save the world, and— by carrying on Tony Stark’s legacy—become the next true mascot of the MCU.

Discussion I miss when MCU characters were allowed to be bad at being superheroes for more than one movie

0 Upvotes

One thing I've noticed on rewatches is how much I enjoy the stretch where a character is technically a superhero but still kind of terrible at the job.

Early Tony is reckless and constantly creates problems he then has to solve. Thor spends an entire movie learning that charging straight at everything isn't leadership. Peter spends a lot of Homecoming misunderstanding what being useful actually looks like. Strange wins his first movie while still being arrogant enough that you can immediately see how that trait could cause future trouble.

What I liked about those stories wasn't just the origin part. It was that competence felt earned gradually.

Lately I sometimes feel like MCU characters become “fully operational” very quickly. They get the suit, power or title and by the end of the project they've already crossed most of the distance between beginner and established hero.

I don't necessarily want more origin stories. I actually think the opposite would be more interesting: keep characters around in the awkward middle for longer.

Let someone make the wrong tactical call in their third appearance. Let somebody be great at fighting but awful at leading. Let a hero discover that the thing they learned last movie only works in certain situations.

Some of my favorite MCU character moments came from watching people who were powerful enough to save the day but still inexperienced enough to make the day significantly worse first.

The universe feels bigger when becoming a superhero is the beginning of someone's development instead of the graduation ceremony.

Discussion The interesting case of non-biological sentience in MCU

0 Upvotes

Here's what i think is the whole story of artificial sentience in MCU.

  1. We see DUM-E and JARVIS in the iron man movies, till now they are just like LLMs and does not have consciousness.
  2. Then in Avengers: Age of ultron we see Tony and Bruce create ULTRON, the first sentient being in the MCU.
  3. After ULTRON, Vision comes to life, a mix of Tony, Bruce and JARVIS, now there are two sentient beings here.
  4. While preparing for Sokovia, we see Tony using FRIDAY, another AI just like JARVIS who isn't sentient.
  5. Then in Spiderman: Homecoming we se KAREN, another non-conscious AI.
  6. In Spiderman: Far from home we see EDITH, Tony's another non-sentient AI.
  7. After all this we get to Vision quest where interestingly, Vision has somehow made JARVIS, DUM-E, U, EDITH and FRIDAY fully sentient, how he did that has not been disclosed but thats what we see.

I found it super interesting how these AIs get fully conscious in vision quest and it really makes there dynamic fun to watch, what do you guys think about this journey?

Discussion I think Maggie gets judged way too harshly in the first Ant-Man

115 Upvotes

The first Ant-Man is really good at making you root for Scott. He's funny, loves his daughter, and went to prison for doing something he believed was right.

So when Maggie tells him he needs to get his life together before he can have a normal relationship with Cassie again, it feels like she's being unnecessarily difficult.

But we're watching the movie from Scott's perspective.

Maggie spent three years raising their daughter while he was in prison. He gets out, struggles to keep a job, hasn't caught up on child support, and starts getting involved in something that looks suspiciously like more criminal activity.

We know he's training to become a superhero. Maggie doesn't.

And Paxton isn't some evil stepdad trying to replace Scott. He's a cop who's helping raise Cassie, and from his perspective her biological father seems determined to land himself back in jail.

What I like is that the movies don't eventually reveal Maggie and Paxton were terrible people who needed to be proven wrong. Scott earns their trust, Paxton earns Scott's respect, and by the second movie they're genuinely affectionate with each other.

I remember finding Maggie annoying when I first watched Ant-Man. Now I think her reaction was pretty reasonable, even if the birthday party scene was rough.

It's an unusually adult family dynamic for a superhero movie. Scott being a good guy doesn't automatically make everyone who sets boundaries with him the bad guy.

Discussion Could Visionquest lead into Young Avengers?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Alright so, this is an idea that I've had kicking around in my head ever since I finally got caught up on visionquest, and I was curious to know what you guys think about it.

Basically, for those unaware, the set up for the original young avengers comic is more or less as follows: vision is destroyed in avengers dissassembled, Iron Lad arives from the future, Iorn Lad downloads vision, and through downloading vision he accesses a program vision created to assemble a team of young avengers if the avengers themselves ever fell. Now, obviously, I don't think that we'll, nor would I want us to, get a one to one adaptation of that comic, however, i could easily see Visionquest setting us up for a loose adaptation of that story.

More or less, what I'm thinking is this: visionquest ends with Tommy and Vision setting off to find Billy while Ultron escapes, we flash forward to post secret wars, maybe the avengers are in a different dimension, maybe theyre in space, idc, point is theyre not around, ultron sees an opportunity in an avengers free world, begins some sort of plot and reveals himself, Vision feels personally responsible for Ultron and resolves to stop him, with Billy and Tommy refusing to let vision go by himself, and vision then uses an algorithm he created to find and assemble the next generation of avengers to help his family stop ultron, with vision being the older mentor figure for the group.

What do you guys think?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

All the people saying “She did all that for an AI husband and imaginary kids” are the same people who think Steve did the right thing by going back in time to live a life with Peggy. But can you all think about how lonely Wanda must have felt to find love and comfort in a life that wasn’t even real? She didn’t just lose her “AI husband and imaginary kids”. She lost her parents, her brother, then had to kill Vision herself just for Thanos to bring him back and killing him AGAIN in front of her. The Avengers used her when they needed her powers, but no one bothered to check on her after she lost everything. Wanda was grieving, isolated and left to deal with her pain alone.

All she wanted was to live in a universe where she could be with her kids, who were very much real. Yes, she made mistakes, but why is she considered a villain for wanting her family back when Steve is celebrated for doing the same thing? If that makes Wanda a villain, then I’ll stand by her side till the end.

Discussion Peter should have sent Gamora back.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I always thought this re-hookup attempt was very obnoxious and cringe from Peter. Pushing this previous relationship onto an obviously other person was just an ass move. Of course we understand his reasons, and that was part of the tragedy of the movie. We understand why he tried. A good, bittersweet element on its own.

But I'd have prefered, that after this, at the end of the movie, he realized the main problem with the situation. Which is not his loss. It's the other timeline's loss. This Gamora is not hers. It is the alternative timeline's - which is still part of the Sacred Timeline as I understood, so not pruned - Gamora. That universe still has Ronan who targets Xandar. Probably wipes them out. Still has his megalomaniac celestial father, Ego, who is going to swarm that world. That world's Rocket, Groot, Drax, Mantis, and especially Peter needs her.

Sure, I suppose Peter is too much of a dummy to understood these things, probably no one from the Time Heist bothered to explain to him why she is back, and what has happened at all (EDIT: Cap went back to put back the stones. So the technology literally is just sitting there, okay guys?).

Still, it would have been a huge character development from Starlord to slowly figure this out. At the end telling her that she has responsibilities there, to her own world, not here. To the world that needs her. Badly. Even though she does not see that yet, especially without Thanos now. But Peter should have told her, knowing it is the truth.

Telling her to gather the team together and guide them. Make them understand. That world needs the Guardians of the Galaxy. And giving her and that dork Peter another chance to fall in love again. Just maybe.

Of course it is Gamora’s decision at the end, but Peter has the responsibility to tell her.

This selfless realization itself would have been the perfect wrap for Starlord's story.
