Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

[fireproof78]

I love how everyone was all "Oh, Marvel is doomed!" and then Deadpool and Wolverine comes out and they're all "Oh, these new MCU movies coming out look so great!"

Sensation seekers.

The loudest voices tend to drown out the rest. So no, not "everyone".

...and who said all of the upcoming MCU movies "look so great"?

Loudest voices again

Here we go again, talking in absolutes...

Yawn.

It was never 'everyone' and you know that perfectly well. Stop generalizing and making things better than they are. Some YouTube attention seekers and lonely boys on Reddit were screaming that because they need attention either for their channels or their personal satisfaction.
The same nonsense is happening on this very forum where some people make over the top statements so their messages get quoted and replied to and their names are mentioned.

Yes, some previous productions were less than what we've had in the past. Yes, a lot of what we're seeing that's being made looks a lot better again. No, it's not the same group of people.

Can we all just please move on from attention seeking posts and actually have useful discussions again?

I love the ignore button

THE MCU isn't doomed. But it is in a rough patch. That could lead to it's collapse. The upside is I do think they have made some good choices recently that might be righting the ship. But they aren't out of the woods just yet.

New Agatha All Along teaser (probably the last one I watch before the show premieres):

"We'll be safe as kittens, okay?"

Curious how the very identity of Joe Locke's "Teen" will be an ongoing mystery (not unlike a certain Not Speedster last time around...).

I'm calling it now: He's actually Aubrey Plaza's Mephisto who is actually Lenny from Legion. You read it here, folks!

It would be pretty funny if, after everybody was convinced Mephisto was going to show up WandVision, he unexpectedly showed up in Agatha All Along instead.
And I'm kinda hoping they can sneak at least one or two Legion Easter Eggs with Plaza's character.

Actually, the rumor mill has Sasha Baron Cohen portraying Mephisto in Ironheart. Cohen is confirmed for Ironheart, but his character has not been revealed.

*raises hand*

I'm jazzed for all three of the 2025 releases, even Thunderbolts* which I initially expected to be indifferent to.

 

[JD]

Oh, OK, I hadn't that about Ironheart.
I'm really looking forward the MCU movies and show we've got coming up, everything we've seen of them so far looks great.

I'm not sure if I knew Cohen was going to be in that series and forgot. Probably did since I seem to be the only person who is underwhelmed by his shtick.

Oh, believe me, you're not.

He is capable of actual acting though.

Yes, but his style of acting is what I'm referring to.

I'm starting to look forward to this.

They look like a really fun collection of characters.

It does look pretty good. It would be nice for the MCU to have two creative success stories, back to back This following Deadpool and Wolverine of course. I still have doubts it will be successful in terms of ratings. The premise is to niche since it's not some guy in a cape or tights fighting a arch villain. Also not featuring a A-level character the normies know. But I would be fine with another Ms Marvel which was a creative success but ratings failure.
