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
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
I assume end game is going to kill off the expensive actors
