People are already speculating that a character in the movie looks like Doctor Doom. lol if that's Doctor Doom, then they only have Party City budget for his costume.
 
They're leaning on the 60s aesthetic, interesting.

Well we are entering the official beginning phases of Marvel's next great task: (Re-)introducing the Fantastic Four to the masses! (and making them cool)

I hope Pascal as Reed is another "Ruffalo as Banner" situation for me, where I just don't see it at first but his performance sells it for me.

Also FUCK YEAH EDDIEEEE
 
Just so this also get buried in the thread as everyone talks about the cast, I think this means the slate is getting moved around again since this Thunderbolts' previous date
 
Oh shit my guy Eddie as Johnny Storm.

I can see Pedro as Reed.

Ohh yeah that's right, good catch. Maybe Tbolts is Nov 2025?
 
Not the biggest fan of Pedro Pascal as Reed (it's such a boring and by the numbers casting), would've loved to see Matt Smith in the role but it is what it is.

Here's hoping they manage to make a good F4 movie for once (Incredibles doesn't count) 👀

Not gonna lie, but I got mad props for how they announced the cast with such a low-key tweet. I really thought that was just some speculative fan art for a full minute. Not sure how I feel about Reed Richards with Pedro's beard and mustache, though.
 
It just dawned on me that they now need to introduce Franklin Richards as baby, so Pedro Pascal can escort another magic child somewhere :LOL:
 
They introduced a new branding for Marvel Studios (Marvel Animation) but they just released the first official trailer for X-Men '97!!!
 
Hear some folks complain about the VA’s…

Peepz it’s been thirty years. Cal Dodd (Wolverine) is almost 68. Yeah he’s going to sound somewhat different.

Everyone else sounded fine.

I’m totally jazzed for this
 
Fantastic Four is the only Marvel project left I'm actually excited for. I still feel it's what should've started Phase 4. It has a lot riding on it; they really need an Iron Man-level hit.

Casting is great. Stoked for Ebon.
 
It's very interesting to see that Marvel made this the Fox-themed week with the:

  • Deadpool and Wolverine Trailer on Sunday
  • Yesterday's The Fantastic Four team casting announcement
  • Today's X-Men '97 trailer

I'm a bit more hopeful. While of course I'm going to love W&L, and I've been hoping for the First Family (and Doom) to get their due? I'm trusting that Mahershala's Blade is going to be something special, now that hopefully things are apparently in a much better place.

Besides, letting Wade go first will just make it all the easier to get people used to the idea of some Marvel movies getting that R rating.
 
Damn, I forgot how good the Deadpool movies are. Perfect action comedies that aren't afraid to get serious when they need to. If Deadpool 3 is just as good, it'll be part of the holy trinity of superhero trilogies (Guardians and Dark Knight, soon to be replaced by Spider-Verse).

I am not a big fan of the 90s X-Men cartoon (more of an Evolution guy) but that trailer was pretty decent all in all.

Finally saw the Marvels

It was okay.

Feels like the movie is missing pieces. It isn’t near as bad as some people claim it to be. The villain is very bad. Did like the energy Carol, Monica and Kamala have between the three of them.

I dunno what was going on with Fury, but the dude seems unhinged in the best possible way ha

Aside from the first third of the movie feeling rushed and chopped up, I think a big mistake was that it wasn't promoted as a comedic/lighthearted film. I went into it thinking it was more serious, and the tonal disconnect threw me for a while.

Just got to the avengers in my mcu rewatch. Over a decade after my initial hype I don’t think it’s held up great. The cg isn’t spectacular in some spots, not sure what they were thinking with caps costume, the whedon esque, “well that just happened!” Style writing was original in 2012 but it feels tired now. Some highlights are still the avengers relationship with Phil Culson, tom
Huddleston eating up the scenery, and being genuinely pretty fucking evil, after I had gotten used to good guy Loki from the show. The teams interactions with eachother, and the last battle sequence are still pretty fun to watch. I definitely think that the mcu got a lot better after phase 1, but upon rewatching phase 1 most of the films outside of iron man were pretty mid. I did like Thor more then I remembered though, despite some over acting and starwars episode 1 green screens and cg

I liked the marvels more than antman quantimania, but that being said I had some pretty big issues with the cgi, and I don’t think I would have liked it as much if Kamala and her awesome family weren’t there to steal the show. Also that post credits scene, lol without saying anything ill just say the multiverse has been exhausting and I hope they can move on from it back to more immediate and galactic threats “like a galactus” soon

So I stumbled across spoilers for Madame Web, specifically the baby and who Adam Scott plays and I know we're not supposed to console war on Famiboards but I might actually hate Sony now

The Avengers was carried significantly by the novelty of the teamup at the time. Now it's pretty old hat and what you're left with is a competent blockbuster but not much else. Though even back then I remember feeling it looked like a TV show episode. Phase 1 movies looked more like unique films, overall, than the assembly line visual style that would come to pass, but Avengers was sorta the gateway to that.

I think Age of Ultron is much better than the first Avengers and I am not kidding.
 
I finished What If…? Season 2 and a second viewing of The Marvels. Mostly putting this here for accountability so I stop putting off posting impressions.

No, Quicksilver. No, I did not.

I’ll have to rewatched them. It’s been a while.

How Marvel Is Quietly Retooling Amid Superhero Fatigue

The studio’s golden box office aura has been dented, but chief architect Kevin Feige isn’t scrapping his years-long cinematic universe plan, just refining it: “They’re not going to give up,” says an insider.

Probably coulda guessed, but The Kang Dynasty looks to no longer be The Kang Dynasty.

Considering how Loki Season 2 ended, MCU has an easy out at this point with the Kang storyline. It is a bummer that it couldn't be explored farther, but it is probably for the better. Hopefully the next year or so will see the MCU get back on track.

Yeah I'm kinda surprised about how that went. They said Loki 2 had no reshoots, a first for the MCU, as they were satisfied with how it was done from the get-go. But if that's true, they sure did luck out with that ending.
