Confirmed by whom? Link?

I think some details are being inferred by set photos and bits of information so far

-Ant-man- Pulled into a Time Vortex

-Older actress cast for Cassie his daughter

-Gray haired Tony

-Toy merchandise showing off some type of suit worn by Rocket and Thor. My guess is after all the other Guardians are gone that Rocket joins the Avengers

The suit might be a new version of Hank Pyms quantum realm suit


CGI dots to add the suit in

I can't find the quote, the Russo brothers have said that A4 is inspired by All Good things, which could be taken a few ways, but it does seem multiple events will feature at different points in time.

Actually, I've expected there to be some kind of time jump before there was ever any kind of rumors to the effect. I've suspected it ever since they announced that they cast a teenage Cassie Lang.

It could still be some kind of time travel, without the whole movie jumping forward.
Not to say a time jump isn't a very good possibility, it's just not the only one.
 
A4 plot speculation.

It has apparently been confirmed that it picks up several years after the end of IW, and that Tony and Pepper have a child. Suppose the child was conceived and born after the Snap, and the only way to beat Thanos is to go back in time and change history. That means that, for the sake of the trillions of people who died in the Snap, Tony has to erase his own child from history. Ow.

Isn't that the main plot point of Spider-man One More Day?

Eh, kinda sorta.

Parker saw an image of what his future daughter would have looked like. That’s not the same as actually having a child that you know and love. Also, Parker did it to save just one life, not trillions.

Anyway, nothing wrong with taking plot ideas from the comics. Much of Thor: Ragnarok was basically Planet Hulk, and it was great despite my having seen it before.
 
Well, that was two and a half hours of "so the fuck what?"

A set-up for a reset. Meh.

I'm glad I saw it as an in-flight movie; it's not like I was gonna do something more worthwhile with the time.
 
The answers are:
  1. Whatever lame deus ex machina or rabbit trick the Marvel managers feel like throwing to their uncritical audience; and
  2. As much as they think they can get you to pay at the box office.
There are no rules, no stakes and no real cost.

So it's okay when DC kills Superman and brings him back with a Magic Box, or X-Men kills off characters and uses time travel to bring them back with no sacrifice, but bad if the MCU kills off characters and then (most likely) sacrifices it's OG to bring them back and the world carries on with the original heroes all gone. Gotcha.
 
Comic books feel like comic books, and I like them.

I also occasionally like chewing gum. I would never praise a cheeseburger because "it tastes like chewing gum, which I love."

Most Marvel movies are lowest common denominator trash, as films. As Pavlovian behavioral conditioning, they're pretty successful.

Nope.

So...if you dislike Marvel movies so much, why do you continue to post in this thread? Why the need to convince people who clearly do enjoy them that they shouldn't?
