so many

but at the time

I dunno why we all pretend kids can't tell when something is bad or not.

I didn't have this issue!

i was just happy to see another cartoon with superheros from the comicbooks

Things that I liked at the time are still good now.

There were things that I could TOLERATE that I can't tolerate anymore.

the xmen was the shit

Does anyone remember the short lived Wildcats cartoon?

no denying that

The 90's X-men rocked

i remember that it existed, but i never got around to watching wildcats

oh the memberberries

I think thats what got it cancels

ya nothing could really touch the xmen cartoon

no one got around to watching Wildcats

to this day its still the best xmen that has been on a screen

period

end of that debate

lol

i was pretty happy at the time when the first xmen movie came out, even if they all did have a thing for black leather

The early seasons yeah, but by the end it went down hill in quality

ya it really did

the animation tanked

brb

but you know what

i dont think those episodes aired down here

i never remember seeing that season on tv here

I thought the 90s X-Men show had terrible animation.

it wasnt till later than i went back downloaded the show and was like wait where did this season come from

i think the local tv station that ran xmen at the time, stopped carrying it once it started to look like crap

i was techincally too old to watch saturday morning cartoons at the time, but i still loved the xmen when it was on

Night all

@devpav for the time the animation was pretty good

nite dude

Do you remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2T2O0882jo

ya i remembered that it was there, but it just never became anything

just how it goes in entertainment land

the animation quality of that one was ahead of its time

just not really the deliver of it

or the writing for that show i should say

It was typical of Japanese animation at the time.

thats really what made the 90s xmen so good was the stories were just good xmen stories that were decently close to the comics

pretty much everything from the comics got a chance

I think that's what made the Phase 1 MCU movies good, too.

maybe the stories werent exact, but pretty close

yep

they kept the spirit of the characters intact

sure a few details need to be shifted, but the characters were the same at their core

Which is incredible considering the state of the comics right now.

damn skippy

and im worried the MCU will unravel with the next phase or so

Sounds like MCU will go off the rails starting with the Captain Marvel film.

the possibility is there, but im hoping it wont play out like that

and it just ends up being a good movie

like BP there was a lot of hype around that movie, but it was a good movie

and as long as they make a good movie, im still down

Well, Captain Marvel is the embodiment of SJW Marvel on the comics side.

in the comics it has started to play out that way

it wasnt always like that

but i cant disagree thats where it has went too at this point

There was a time before SJWs destroyed everything, yeah.

and the way they have plugged capt marvel so far

it is starting to get cringey

the time before time

lol

i have said it since capt marvel first got announced into the mix

she is a cool character to a degree, but tends to get boring after a while

but pushing the character like she is godmode avenger is annoying

she wasnt ever really that

I never knew Captain Marvel as anything but a voice in Rogue's head.

i remember those days as well

using capt marvel to spring board the kree skrull was is a good story option

i mean thats her story

kree skrull war can be a good story

so i still have hope this is still leading to a good set of movies

i probably woudl have picked someone different to play carol personally

I honestly have even less interest in Captain Marvel than in Black Panther.

ya i guess i can see that. im still happy to have marvel movies i guess. ill take what i can get, untill those movies get preachy then im out

glares at starwars

lol

After infinity war they want all the old heroes gone and replaced with new heros

That's why CM is coming out now

well i mean... the actors and actresses do have to have a way to stop after a while

So captain America can make her the new leader of the avengers

they cant just be our puppets forever

I know

RDJ had a long run that was awesome

Just thought they were gonna end the movies after this

man is awesome for sticking with it as long as he has

I actually stopped reading Marvel comics in the mid-90s back when Image launched. I made one exception for the Winter Soldier storyline and found out that was as good as the movie.

nah, its the marvel universe

it can move on

ironman was only recently cool

^

someone else can be cool for a while

If it even happens

they have a lot of opportunities

im not wearing my tinfoil hat at marvel yet lol

Yeah but will anyone legit wait 10 years again for another big movie

Like infinity war

its an interesting question sky

i think thats why there is so much talk of a shift in the phase focus

smaller pods

more compact stories and so forth

we know who the heroes are at this point, get on with it lol

Did you like Infinity War? It felt like a nearly-plotless 3 hour-long action scene to me.

i loved that movie in almost every respect

i missed lady death being the reason for thanos

and his true insanity

Yeah, I would've preferred that, too.

his love for somthing truly unobtainable is what made him more compelling to me

made him the real meaning of villian

but sure, give him what we got, im ok with that, i wont be that guy that picks it apart too much

https://youtu.be/_XkUdr0EDwk?t=118

Loved the movie a more before I heard this bs.

i was just happy to get thanos on screen to be honest

i guess im simple like that

i like brolin as thanos

i thought he ended up being a good choice

Making Thanos a Malthusian felt a lot like dumbing down the premise of the Matrix to make humans an energy resource instead of a computing resource.

ya i can get that

i dont know if todays audience would have went for it

i would like to see it and for them tohave had the balls to do it

but i get why they did it like it was

it didnt feel toooooo overly heavy handed

maybe just a smidgen

Thanos Quest is actually one of my all-time favorite comics series so I know exactly how much Thanos was dumbed down.

ya thanos quest is pretty cool

and infinty gaunt was so much fun back inthe day

i still want to see what an eternity looks like on scrren

that effect is going to be cool i hope

"it's the first time audiences accepted strong fenale superheroes. And it shows that they are not alone, women have each other's back"

Like oh great, it's not because they are allies or anything. Or friends. No, it's just because they are women. Because apparently men wouldn't help them, or if they did it would be sexist because they just assume they couldn't handle it. It's not just friends looking out for each other. No, that never happens.

Thanos hasn't been dumbed down.

Apparently I guess I was sexist for not seeing it was all women in that one scene. How dare I look past their gender.

I've read Thanos Quest and Infinity Gauntlet and even Infinity War

(Infinity War the comic isn't great; And I thought it odd that the movie is named this)

ya agreed

it seemed like the team line up dictated the name

Yeah, the film is basically Thanos Quest.

yep

The movie we have is Thanos Quest. The movie we're getting soon is Infinity Gauntlet.

not as much a war

like i was torn at them calling cap 3 civil war

but they got liek 12 guys

Infinity Gauntlet is WEIRD because all of it hinges on Thanos holding back

what in the hell kind of war is that

come on

And Death bein all "Nah" to the next thing he does.

yep

agreed

And every decision Thanos makes is kinda.. goofy.

"I'll make a female version of myself now" ... Alright.

ya i wont deny that

Have fun.

but it was still fun to watch

Yeah, there was a lot of cringe in Infinity Gauntlet.

Nebula is probably going to get the Gauntlet.

and i still need me an infin gaunt

Like she does in the original.

national holiday

It's just such a DAMN shame that Adam Warlock didn't come into being before this.

It's like having Shredder and no Ninja Turtles.

I'm betting aiyesha(?) gets the soul stone after A4

ya

and uses it to complete Adam

Especially after they teased Adam Warlock in GOTG2.

i think bumping up capt marvel

bumped warlock

well here's the thing

who could really 1v1 with Warlock?

IIRC he could stomp everyone but current level Thor

thanos

and thanos

Well.

Do you guys even remember original Drax.

Yes

but that's not the current fdrax

Green skin, purple cape Drax.

He could fight Hulk no problem.

Looks like a skrull

warlock wasnt really all that super powerful, he was just really good at talking thanos out of doing stupid shit over the years

He was RIDICULOUS.

But yeah, Nebula's gonna get the gauntlet

Just as dumb, but way more powerful.

iMO she's going to use it to immediately revert her from cyborg to real girl again

basically just blue karen gillian, hair and all

It's also a shame that Fox got to hold onto Silver Surfer for so long

and then start kicking all the ass

Surfer would've been right at home in Infinity War. My god.

yes

He'd be so fun.

i would have loved to have the surfer in that movie

But here's the thing

the reason those characters worked in Infijnity Gauntelt is because cosmic marvel had already been established for decades

he is the one thing i am hoping for in the purchased MCU now, the surfer

as of now Thanos is our most powerful character. Soon to be captain marvel.

yep

Infinity War is our springboard into cosmic-tier heavyweights

oh, Ego.

Ego existed.

He counts.

yep

I'm so happy Ego got into the films.

As the MCU is set up, just throwing in powers as tough as teh SS and warlock would be dumb.

When you hear the name "Ego is in a movie" The average person has no idea what that really means

But someone in the know, just snaps their head around

Did anybody else think Black Widow was Agent 13 when she made her intro in Infinity War?

i can see what you mean there canuck

"THEY WHAT?"

"HOW?"

and you are right it hasnt got there yet

"HOW THE FUCK IS EGO IN A FILM"

pretty much need the FF

and galactus to happen

before hand

Like imagine

Fantastic Four, the group, suck.

but capt marvel will work for the intro also

The properties associated to them?

Amazing.

up until Infinity War, who's the most powerful thing we've seen?

IMO, Ego.

ya

agreed

Doom, Galactus, Surfer. These things are GREAT. We need THOSE.

But the Fantastic Four are boresville.

And he was basically constrained to his own surface in terms of godliness.

but the fact that ego is out there

They're DATED.

means there is more

If we suddenly go from those power levels and suddenly go to

THE POWER COSMIC

ADAM WARLOCK

E T E R N I T Y

no one really knew what ego was up to

it'd be too much fo a jolt

oH, DORMAMMU

so one one paid him much mind

he's godly too

oh ya

i change that

But yeah

you see my point right?

dormammu is more powerful

I'll tell you guys what I want.

if they suddenly dumped these powerhouses it'd be a mess

forgot that
