Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

[JD]

If this does turn out to be true for AoS and the Netflix heroes, does it also go for Agent Carter, Runaways, Cloak & Dagger, etc.?

The only one I could maybe see continuing to be part of the 616 or whatever they're calling it MCU is Agent Carter, since that the Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely were in charge of it.

Also a version of Doc Ock, whom MCU Peter definitely didn't know before NWH, and Doctor Strange, whom Peter didn't meet until Infinity War. And there's no sign of Ned among Peter's friends. It's clearly not set in the MCU, despite the quote in the article. (Except in the sense that the MCU contains the multiverse, I guess.)

And it also has what appears to be Scorpion in a costume, but I think when he showed up in Homecoming he had never run into Spidey before and didn't have a costume yet.

I was thinking the same thing, particularly since Edwin Jarvis was the first Marvel TV character to migrate to the movies. But on the other hand, maybe the idea will be that the Agent Carter short film is in 616 and the TV series is a parallel. That would resolve their apparent discrepancies.

Comics always lacked a something to engage me. As a once in a while thing, sure. Occasionally a longer series will draw me in but as a preferred way? Not a chance.

I'm good with comics and live action, but really can't get on with most animated stuff.

Mileage varies...

Comics are an odd duck to me. I can read a comic in 5 minutes with little fuss but it also doesn't grab me either. And I love comic strips but books just are...odd.

Yup, mileage.

I think the only Spider-Man cartoon I enjoyed on that level was the syndicated Spider-Man series from '81 (produced at the same time as Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends), and that was due to how much it reminded me of the great daily strip running at the same time (including the use of villains not normally associated with Spider-Man, such as Dr. Doom).

Here we go...

 

[cooleddie74]

Kang.

Nice.

I hope the story ties into the shattering of the Sacred Timeline as seen at the end of Loki Season 1. This looks like it's going to be pretty cool.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

And presumably that's Cassie getting her own suit!

I'm still convinced Kang's citadel is located in the Quantum Realm.

 

[JD]

Yeah, that wouldn't surprised me. It would be the cleanest way to connect him to Ant-Man and Co.

Fascinating. I do not believe i've ever heard anyone say they favored the cartoons over the comics. Over live action--yes, but never the comics.

Given the number of people who watch the average episode of a TV series vs the number of people who read the average comic, I have a feeling there are probably a lot more people who there who feel that way, than don't.

I'd rather see them go the other way around if they were going to do that.

Here we go...

That's really cool. So is this the closest we've gotten so far to confirmation that Cassie is going to become Stature?
I was wondering if they were going to go with the Kang design from the comics, I'm glad they did. I thought there was a chance they might just leave all of that off, as a way to make it clearer he was a variant of He Who Remains.

 

[Set Harth]

I hope the story ties into the shattering of the Sacred Timeline as seen at the end of Loki Season 1.

I think the point of Loki's ending was to set up this movie.

 

[Turtletrekker]

The Hall H presentation at SDCC should be beginning at any moment.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I miss being able to watch the virtual panels. Alas.

But at least io9 is live blogging the panel.

 

[JD]

Yeah, I was really hoping they'd live stream more of the panels again.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

...looks like the panel is going to be delayed due to someone tripping the fire alarm...

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Phase 4 officially ends with Wakanda Forever.

 

[Turtletrekker]

18 episode Daredevil Born Again show coming in 2024.

 

[StCoop]

Blade 3rd November 2023

 

[StCoop]

Captain America: New World Order confirmed; so I assume the rest are true as well.

 

[StCoop]

The full Phase 5 line-up. Ends with 'Thunderbolts'.
