Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

What grade would you give the Marvel Cinematic Universe? (Ever-Changing Question)

A revamped Iron Fist could work. There was a lot about that series that I liked, but the show was weighed down by its supporting characters (meaning the Rand family) in the second season--and I don't think anyone would object to a recasting of the main character.

I would submit that as of the end of season 2, the title character of Iron Fist is Colleen Wing, so we don't even need Danny Rand anymore.
 
So how are these shows going to work on Disney+? All nudity and violence will be covered by CGI Daryl Hannah hair?

There wasn't any nudity in the shows, nothing on par with "Pam and Tommy". And the violence was never that extreme either. We're not talking about HBO series here.

I see the president from Iron Man 3 and Agents of SHIELD has run out his term. I wonder if he was blipped while in office and how that would work.

I think the idea is that Obama was a 1 term President in the MCU, and Ellis won against him. Which means Ellis also could have been a 1 term President too and this guy took over in 2016. He got Blipped in 2018 and restored in 2023 which means he technically still has 2 years left in Office.
 
Not sure if they want to bring back the less critically acclaimed shows such as Iron Fist or Punisher...

Punisher wasn't acclaimed?

I would submit that as of the end of season 2, the title character of Iron Fist is Colleen Wing, so we don't even need Danny Rand anymore.

I'd be cool with shifting the focus to Colleen, but I would still like to see what Danny learns on his travels.
 
I would love to see a movie of Shang-Chi and the Daughters of the Dragon.


Punisher wasn't acclaimed?

I think the first season got more praise than the second. I, for one, disliked the second, since it was nowhere near as good as the first and fell into the trap of glorifying Castle's violence in a way the first season managed to avoid.
 
This is also a big blow to the viability of Hulu. Neither Disney nor Universal need it any more.
Pity for Hulu but glad that Marvel programming is mostly under one umbrella. People's wallets are glad too.

The Punisher is loved by fascist cops and neo-nazis the world over.
I'm not a massive Punisher fan but that must suck to be put in the same category.
I like to wear Marvel T-shirts but I have avoided buying Punisher ones because of the unfair association to those groups. I just like Punisher because it's Punisher.
 
Not really, it's got plenty of it's own original content, and thinking about it more, I really can't see them putting things like The King's Man/Kingsmen, Predator, Alien, or Planet of Apes stuff on Disney+. Hulu also has all of the day after shows from ABC, NBC, Fox.

Because of Star, all of that is Dinsey+ in the Netherlands. Lucky us.

That's not how it works, his term ended in 2020 regardless of if he was around to see it or not. He might have a shot at arguing that he is eligible for a 3rd term, if he served less than 2 years before the blip (like Vice Presidents who take over for less then 2 years). But he'd still need to run again.
 
All of that adult stuff is on D+ in every country but the US, just under the parental controlled "Star" name.
That's just because you guys don't get Hulu, so they don't have anywhere else to put it.

Even the stuff from the non-Disney studios? There are a lot of movies and shows on Hulu that aren't Disney owned.

Yes Star is for everything mature and non-Disney. You can VPN to the UK and see for yourself.

That's the character. I meant the show.

We don't need Iron Fist back, Shang-Chi shows how it's done the right way.

But when they meet (which I'd like to see as they're both martial artists with ties to mystical cities and very different encounters with dragons) they'll surely start off with the whole "superhero fight due to misunderstanding" trope, and you can watch Shang-Chi beat him up.
 
Only a rumour currently but supposedly Marvel are planning a "Man-Thing" special for Disney+ to go along with the "Werewolf By Night" one they're doing for Halloween.

Since it will be longer than the average Marvel show I will be very disappointed if they don't call it "Giant-Size Man-Thing".

"Who, or what, is a 'Man-Thing'?":lol:

People think they've added mature settings to show the Netflix shows but this is surely the real reason they did it.
