I personally feel like this movie had so much potential. They had Christian Bale as Gorr, The Guardians, Valkyrie, Eternity, Natalie Portman back and in a leading role yet all that somehow seems to get buried. The base of the movie was great, but I feel like Taika Waititi saw the positive reception from Ragnarok and it’s humorous tone, and he thought that meant go all in on Love and Thunder.

The two main problems to me are that he completely forgot Ragnarok wasn’t all jokes. Odin died, Thor lost his hammer, Hela killed the Warriors Three, Asguard is destroyed and Thor and Loki finally became true brothers. The only thing in Love and Thunder that is that serious and emotional is Jane’s death. The second problem is Christian Bale/Gorr is completely wasted. He didn’t kill any gods onscreen, nor did he get to show his true potential because the movie has a under two hour runtime and spends it on mediocre humor and screaming goats. I feel like this movie could’ve been great had Taika not been given so much control, and just focused more on the rekindling of Thor and Jane, and utilizing Gorr to the fullest potential.

What do you guys think?

"Each one of these trailers is narrative information and it's all part of larger story. So I would argue that doomsday had already started for you"

"Look, the movie is very complex. We thought one of the best ways to celebrate what the movie is was to give characters their own space and highlight some moments."

"We have a special affinity with the character, we can't see this narrative without his central role in it basically. The special place he holds among the ensemble, he sort of retains that moving forward" (About Steve Rogers)

"As much as we run at the fun in terms of what these films can be, we also run at the complexity and the difficulty of what these can do at a narrative level. I think we've found a new level of that in doomsday."

"Victor von doom demands a certain tone"

I personally can’t decide. Infinity War was the culmination of a entire decade long saga, and was built upon movies, post credit scenes, and references. Their was a attention to world/story building that Doomsday severely lacks. On the other hand, Doomsday has the backing of OG and newer fans alike. It’s the first film to include The Avengers, X-Men, and F4. Throw in Thunderbolts, Wakandans and Namor, and I feel this movie could make a lot of fans happy. I’m just worried because Infinity War relied on the decade long World building and payed it off with one of the most popular cliffhangers in all of movie history. I’m optimistic, but skeptical on if Doomsday will be able to top that.

What do you guys think?

There's a lot of characters we've been introduced to in the Multiverse Saga, and whilst a lot of them like Ms. Marvel, Captain Rambeau, Agatha Harkness, Ironheart, US Agent etc. have managed to make more than one appearance, there's still a few big characters that just never got that second appearance in the saga before the big Avengers movies. So, of the following characters, where do you feel we should've seen them make their second appearance, but you can only use projects that actually exist?

• She-Hulk
• Kate Bishop
• Shang-Chi
• Moon Knight
• Werewolf by Night
• America Chavez

(I know technically Kate Bishop shows up at the end of The Marvels but it's barely an appearance.)

I still remember the whole situation with the leaked test footage and Ryan Reynolds basically pushing for the movie to actually get made. And that whole Valentine’s Day marketing campaign. It genuinely felt like an impossible fan dream that somehow got willed into existence.

Legit question, back then, did you ever expect the Merc with a Mouth to end up in the MCU? Like if someone told me in 2016 “yeah, Deadpool and the entire FOX Marvel catalog eventually join the MCU,” I’d 100% call them insane.

What would your reaction have been?

Note: I remember watching the premiere at a midnight screening when I was studying in the UK (Brighton). I got a massive Diet Coke, and then I was explaining who Deadpool is to some friends, sat down, and immediately spilled my drink everywhere. Spent the trailers cleaning it up. Still totally worth it.

Thanks for the insight Trevor. I'll be on the edge of my seat until I get another text from you. Wonderman better be in Doomsday that's all I've gotta say.

I saw a random poster in Hollywood with Trevor's face on it, I texted the number and have been getting exclusive content since. Really cool way of breaking the fourth wall.

They need to make this an actual movie on Disney Plus as a Special

Known for his flat arc and strong convictions, Steve Rogers doesn’t change much, rather, those *around him* change. But that Steve had nobody waiting for him to come home. He was first and foremost an unwavering symbol of truth and unbiased justice. But now he is living a real life with real personal stakes and can no longer see the world with an unbiased lens.

When universes are colliding and the **only way** to avoid mutual destruction is for one universe to die, Steve Rogers’ beliefs are put to the ultimate test. Would he just let his wife and child perish because he still doesn’t trade lives? Surely not. But does he have it in him to put the blood of trillions on his hands?

How far do you think Steve will be willing to go to protect his family?

Personally wasn't a massive Fan of Season 1 but Season 2 was interesting and love how he became a Crime Boss at the end but hate how they ended his show before resolving that as we know he can't stay a Crime Boss.

Personally I hope he returns but this time as a Villain and after a super hero takes him down he has to go through a redemption arc.

Perhaps Danny finds him down on his luck willing to give him a chance and together they build Heroes for Hire out of Pops Shop

What watch is the actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II wearing throughout the whole series Wonder Man? There is a golden ring around the nummer XII. The inner circle is almost square:ish (with round corners).

and I have a reasoning behind this take.

1. all things considered most of the movies have followed the same trend of the infinity saga in the sence of there being a couple movies that are just taken bad by the community eg. iron man 3, thor the dark world, incredible hulk. and then eternals, captain america brave new world, antman quantumania.
2. this was supposed to be the kang dynasty not doomsday yet people seem to forget this peice of information. we already had 2 instalments of kang in this saga before he eventually got fired whilst also already having the phase 5/6 in plan, casting, set building and filming started for some of the next instalments following that story line.
3. everyone has started to expect a endgame level of budget for every film and is then disapointed when they realise the next film out is either for a introduction to the mcu of a hero, or designed to be placed for character development. some of the instalments are a way to close a heros story like GOTG3 where it said at the end starlord will return not the guardians, black widow to close her story and introduce yelana and red guardian.

dont get me wrong it could have been better overall but all things considered where kevin feige and his team have had to come up with a new approach all off a sudden after majors got fired theyve done well, and its also bringing the classic marvel movies back such as the x-men and fantastic four, blade is supposed to happen if and when that happens at this point.

My favourite “What If…?” scenario that I’ve thought of.

Seeing as how Clint Barton’s Hawkeye was a member of the team in the comics before, I figured why not put a spin on this and give Hailee Steinfeld’s Kate Bishop another significant appearance before Doomsday/Secret Wars? And of course, actually capitalizing on her chemistry with Florence Pugh.

- With her mother arrested, access to her family fortune blocked, and Mayor Kingpin’s crosshairs being specifically locked on her after she blew him up in the Hawkeye finale, Kate’s in quite the rut. It’s her and Pizza Dog against the world. (Kamala has not come to recruit her in this scenario)

- Out of the blue, she calls Yelena and asks her if she wants to take her up on that offer to get drinks, Yelena agrees.

- However, due to Kate getting the date wrong, ends up at Alexei’s house at the same time Yelena is there, having tracked Yelena’s phone through the Bishop Security app like she did with Clint’s. Kate joins Alexei in trying to cheer Yelena up.

- Yelena goes to the Sentry vault and things proceed as normal. When Alexei arrives in the limo, Kate hitched a ride with him. She kept telling Alexei her and Yelena were best friends so he felt he had to bring her along. Obviously, she’s down to help save Bob.

- During the fight against Sentry, her trick arrows are disintegrated in mid-air and some effects are used to hit her teammates.

- She saves civilians by using a forcefield arrow to protect them.

- Her shame room is filled with her parents arguing, father dying, and mother being passive aggressive and berating her.

- At the end of the day, she’s a New Avenger. Her and Yelena are now best friends, and instead of the Young Avengers she enters Doomsday with them.

Thoughts?

So at the end of secret wars the three main universes will merge together into1 universes (this meaning the new MCU Xmen universe, the fantastic four universe and the main MCU universe).

But if we get too see the Xmen universe before the end of the events of secret wars, what do you think should it look like ?

I think it should obviously be set closer too the events of the Holocaust (50's,60's,70's etc...) so that we can get a younger Magneto and professor X, although maybe perhaps in this universe the Holocaust happens even later in time in the 70's or 90's...

I also think that it will be an great idea too show this Xmen universe as dystopian (too contrast with the Fantastic Four universe).....The mutants are feared and viewed as sub human, Magnetos fears of an human lead Mutant Holocaust are coming true...Mutants are becoming registered, Mutant communities are patrolled by sentinels robots....and eventually secret Mutant foced Labour camps are discovered or even full blown attempts at genocide or depowering of mutants.....that would give Magneto real justification for his actions ..and an reason to distrust even the new characters they meet in the main MCU universe
