Marvel Cinematic Universe - All Marvel Movie/TV discussion

[LWO4Life]

We have to agree to disagree with Homecoming. I think Spiderman being rebooted 3 times has hurt the Marvel Spiderman so much, that they had to make alterations that the audience hasn't seen. If you just revisit MJ, or Stacy, the audience already saw it. Look at Superman, the more you reboot something, the more the audience rolls their eyes at the same old shit.

[comfortablynumb]

Definitely agree on the reboots hurting the franchise. I'm so glad we got no origin this time around. I'd rather see Miles Morales in live-action films than more Parker films at this point.

[LWO4Life]

I kind of wish Marvel did do a Miles Morales Spiderman. LOL... I mean if you are going to do Scott Lang instead of Hank Pym for Ant-Man, why not? I understand why you do Peter Parker, but I think the public is more and more ready for a Miles Morales Spiderman.

[meandi]

Homecoming set the stage for Morales. I forget the character’s name, but the guy that Donald Glover played is the uncle of Morales and becomes a villain himself.

So.much.Spider-Man talk!




Just the thought of them making a movie with Miles Morales/Spiderverse is insanely exciting. If they got back Garfield, Holland, and Macquire for it I would lose my mind.


As for who is the best Spider-Man so far- it is Andrew Garfield by a country mile. He nailed Spideys personality. The sarcasm was soooo good. Holland is the best Peter Parker, and Tobey Macquire existed and took up space fairly well. I miss Garfield as Spider-Man, though Holland is good, and I'm currently okay with him in the role, though I think Morales would be perfect timing if they need to inject him in.




As for Marvel on Netflix, Iron Fist season 1 was better than it gets credit for. Iron Fist season 2 is outstanding imo. It got better with every single episode of the season. Cliff hanger after cliff hanger, so well written. I looooved the character arcs of Ward and his sis, and the villain was so perfect it was just the perfect storm. They also set it up for a very interesting season 3.


Imo, the two worst seasons we have seen from all shows combined was Jess Jones season 2, and The Defenders. Defenders was throw away rubbish, Jess Jones season 2 was completely abysmal. Jess Jones season 2 was one of the biggest let downs ever after such a great first season. Truly, the drizzling shits of the entire series. Iron Fist season 1 is leagues better than Jess Jones season 2 imo.


The best seasons would be Jess Jones season 1, Daredevils 2 seasons, and Iron Fist season 2, then Punisher. Luke Cage is somewhere in the middle. Both seasons are pretty equal. I enjoyed season 2. I really enjoyed Bushmaster's character arch.


The most exciting news though, just leaked, Daredevil season 3 drops on October 18th folks.. just a few weeks away!!

The man in the High Castle Season 3 drops a week prior to DDS3. It's going to be tough to watch all at the same time.

[Prime Time]

I've seen the trailer for Venom at the cinema a couple of times now. I guess that must be out soon - not sure whether I think it looks promising or not.

[Powder]

Looks promising, but the main knock is how can you introduce Venom WITHOUT Spiderman?

[meandi]

That’s pretty much my gripe, as well. But Tom Hardy is awesome in everything he does, so hopefully we get a coherent story and some great acting from him.

[Powder]

From some of the excerpts from the trailer, Hardy is playing Eddie Brock as whimpering. Brock is a strong, asshole bully, which is exactly why the Venom/symbiote attaches itself to him and thrives.

Also it seems from the trailers, that Carnage is a second symbiote who will be the main villain. And Carnage is the offspring of Venom and much stronger than Venom, and if memory serves, doesn't it take Venom AND Spidey teaming up to take him down.

[meandi]

Yeah, Spidey typically has to show up to help Venom take down Carnage.

I’m definitely willing to give it a chance. I’m sure I’ll read all the negative reviews of it just like BvS and Justice League, and then I’ll rent it when it hits amazon prime and find a way to enjoy it regardless. (Just like BvS and JL...)

[Powder]

I am going to see it, but I do not know if I will like it.

[LK3185]

I think it looks interesting.. and I'm not expecting it to follow the comics because if it did that initially, its not a Venom movie... He's a ruthless spider-man villian (and I feel that's the best take on the character... but I imagine Sony/Marvel wants an anti hero)

[Prime Time]

As the audience for comic book movies is a lot bigger than the audience for comic books, and not everyone who reads the source material will care, I imagine they can get away with making that kind of change because to a lot of people it just won't really matter.

[Powder]

I agree, but isn’t Venom one of those iconic characters that most people know who he is? Not like Captain Marvel. She is NOT as well know as Venom. Even the real Captain Marvel from DC is not as well known as Venom.
