[The Nth Doctor]

Daniel Destin-Cretten says that Kevin Feige wasn't behind the decision to cancel and that it came down to the economics of streaming.

I figured but it still sucks.

i still wonder if the kangs will be mentioned avengers 5 aka avengers doomsday

Doom walks into a room with the severed head of a Kang. Then tosses it on a table and wipes his hands. "Well that's the last one. Time to get down to business."

 

[cooleddie74]

I wouldn't mind if the Council of Kang are shown again at some point, but for the moment I'm not holding my breath. Frankly, after both He Who Remains and Victor Timely were more interesting and effective variants of Kang (especially the former, one of the creepiest and most memorable bad guys in Disney+ Marvel) and ones I cared so, so much more about I'm not really in a mad rush to see Kang again.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I imagine they'll wrap up the Kang storyline in a similar manner to how they wrapped up the Supreme Intelligence storyline in The Marvels -- exposition and a brief flashback.

 

[JD]

I've been kind of expecting a quick scene of Doom just wiping them all out.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I'm fine with that. As eddie said, we already got the best out of Kang with He Who Remains and Victor Timely (both courtesy of Loki) and I honestly don't care to see more of Kang anyways (regardless of Jonathan Majors).

 

[Aragorn]

They didn't anticipate how hard it would be to figure out a Blade movie. It should be noted that Robert Downey Jr was 41 years old when hired to do 'Iron Man."

Just wait until they cast Downey as Blade.

so many theories

all the kanes together in 1 place on planet kane then doctor von doom suddenly blows up the place and planet kane into thy kingdom come which i guess would have the fantastic four finding out what doctor von doom did to planet kane and at the same time also finding out what he is planning to do

then they would travel to mcu earth aka mcu prime and warn them about doctor von doom which is i guess what happened at the end of thunderbolts in the post credits scene when they saw the fantastic four

I had no idea the Despicable Me/Minions franchise was so huge. I'm a little surprised by Shrek too.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

Hm. The number of movies per franchise should influence the ranking here, I think

Yeah, Secret Wars will be Marvel Studios 40th film.

Also, I'd love to see these numbers adjusted for inflation. For instance I imagine James Bond would be on the list after adjusting for inflation.

James Bond is already ranked 5th on the list, and the list has already been adjusted for inflation.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Ha! Didn't see it. Got to get my eyes checked.

However, I'm not sure if that's properly adjusted for inflation because the Star Wars total seems awfully low considering that just the Disney movies alone have done almost 6 billion.

 

[Christopher]

No, it says "unadjusted for inflation" at the bottom.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Ugh, that graphic gives me a headache with its layout design.

Also, does the MCU count include the Spidey count? That's unclear.

 

[Christopher]

I would assume that they overlap, counting the Holland movies both as part of the MCU and as part of the collective Spidey film franchise from the Raimi films onward. Similarly, I suppose Batman v Superman and maybe Justice League would be counted in both the DCEU listing and the Batman listing. (Although I wonder how many films are counted in the Batman listing. Do they include the 1966 movie? Mask of the Phantasm? The Lego Batman Movie?)

 

[JD]

I'm a little surprised Star Trek isn't up there, I know none of them were huge hits, but I would have thought 13 movies would have been enough to get it to those kind of numbers.
