Thus reducing the necessity of viewing

I wonder if you've seen the more recent stuff

Last ones I saw were Thor Ragnarok and Guardians 2

They were okay

Guardians feels like it's already being constricted by the film format. Thor 3 is like, bits of planet hulk and guardians smushed in when I'd really much rather just get Planet Hulk (seriously, there's been no new attempt at Hulk standalone content)

Hulk is in a weird situation rights wise

Marvel own the licence but universal own distribution

on solo stuff

so they split a Hulk story between multiple movies

Age of Ultron, Ragnarok, Infinity War and Endgame

Yeah, Hulk is currently on a little arc throughout all the recent movies

honestly Planet Hulk wouldn't really work well within the MCU

it'd essentially be an entirely CGI movie

Isn't that what half of them are slowly turning into?

and then how do you handle World War Hulk?

You don't, just like how "Civil War" went nowhere and did nothing

I'm wondering how the franchise will feel after Endgame. It's going to be a reboot of sorts.

did nothing?

it broke up the Avengers they're still broken up

They're referencing a larger conflict that would be its own film series

Cap and Tony haven't spoken since

Yeah it impacted things on a cosmic scale haha

For a handful of people having a spat

honestly compared to the comic event, the movie one was better

They're clearly not opposed to scaling down and rewriting

the movies didn't have to deus ex machina out a bunch of decisions made for that event weeks later

They'll have to asspull for the next Avengers though

When you have a franchise that is on rails by design, there's not too much flexibility

also when you're missing a good chunk of the Marvel characters too

they don't even have Nitro who was the catalyst for the entire comic event

It's a pointless choice to make because you know they'll have everyone, or nearly everyone come back

Marvel ain't losing that Spiderman or Chris Hemsworth Cheesecake money

the question isn't always do they win, but how they win

and at what cost

the stakes have always been about Cap and Tony

The cost will be nothing that will harm future movie options. How they win will be an asspull

Can you really imagine having all of the heroes from the MCU and X-men series in one movie? It would turn into a plot that would necessitate having the highest paid actors be in the spotlight, and everyone else would be so stretched thin

Would not be worth it at all

You wouldn't make it one movie

it was damn impressive how they pulled off Civil War and Infinity War

the Russos are damn good at what they do
