Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

Or they could just jump straight over it, like they did with Mordo.
It wouldn't have made 1 Billion without Jackman, no.
I honestly didn't even like any of them as much as I should have. The characterization was almost as bad as the plot. The only genuinely great character scene in the show was Rhodey confronting Fury and even that was rendered completely meaningless by the big plot twist.
As a huge fan of the Ms. Marvel comics, Iman Vellani is absolutely perfect casting and the show really has the right atmosphere and fun factor. I just wish they'd bothered to make her powers look right and come up with some better ideas on the villain side. Going with a flabby mish mash of Damage Control and Clan Destine was not a great decision.

They really could have had a better villain. One weak spot of the show.
Take away Jackman, the costume and the other old characters like Snipes and X23 and the movie would've broke even but that's it.
Nobody knew snipes was in it until opening day and X-23 was only confirmed a week beforehand
I initially had a gripe with Deadpool in how/where it ended... but as I think about it, I like it.
Since it's a spoiler thread... uh... spoilers?
I expected Deadpool at the very least to land in 616 by the end of the movie. To my surprise, he was back in 100005. I initially felt like a letdown.
BUT... actually, no. That's a brilliant idea.
I've felt the buildup to Secret Wars has been lackluster. We really need to explore more universes to care about. the fact that 100005 still exists is the perfect thing for that, as well as we know the Sony (err, a few Sony) universes exist and F4 will be its own thing too.
We can get something akin to Ultimate universe colliding with 616, and do an MCU-style amalgam of that and Avengers vs. X-Men... and then in all culminates in Secret Wars.

I do believe they call that "moving the goalposts".
I... don't want whatever you're smoking.
I'm saying without the gutless fanservice (mainly Jackman coming back), this movie wouldn't have been as successful
You also said that a sequel to two 785m dollar movies couldn't possibly have broken even (on a 200m budget) without all the extra fanservice that wasn't in the first two movies.
Yeah, I mean who knows if it would have broken a billion but saying "broken even" is absurd.
You're saying that now. Your original claim was "The only reason DP and W made money was because they brought Jackman back and put him in costume. That's it"
You were very specific.
I agree with the idea that a portion of the box office exists only due to Jackman. I think only a fool would claim otherwise.
They could have found another fan service hook to reel people in. The more gutless the better.
There's a reason why we waited so long for a 3rd movie, Reynolds admitted he couldn't think of ideas after DP2.
And it could have been worse, some folks thought this movie would end with them going to Endgame and saving Tony and keeping Steve from leaving and wiping out everything since Endgame out too.
And he came up an idea. Not seeing a problem.
Yeah, only someone with severe cognitive dissonance would believe that post Endgame was going to be reset. Not even sure why you think bringing it up means anything,
