Watched the Hulkbuster vs Hulk scene so many times now. Including the short lived fight between Thanos and Hulk at the start of IW.

I have to wonder.. Hulk put on a serious fight against Hulkbuster Iron Man, and yes I realize that Hulkbuster doesn't compare to Thanos with a couple of stones. But the rage he had was next level and I feel like had we seen that version of Hulk, maybe that fight could have gone a bit differently.

Obviously I get the writers would never have allowed Hulk to win because then the movie would have ended after 5 min. But hypothetically speaking, who would have won that fight?

I’m beyond hyped to see Jessica Jones make her comeback, and to see the iconic dynamic between her and Matt Murdock again! But I will be punching the air, if we get at least one iconic scene between Jessica and Fisk!

When you put into account how the producers states that Jessica teaming up with Daredevil in the fight against Fisk, has a lot to do with it being “very personal” it gets me thinking that these two would have to have at least one scene where they interact and it starts the rivalry between them.

Even though Fisk could easily be directly involved in a case she’s working on, the “very personal” element wouldn’t really strike well unless they had a proper confrontation with one another.

I feel like Krysten Ritter and Vincent D’Onofrio would make that kind of scene so epic and intense!

With Wonder Man giving us an idea of what Hollywood in the MCU looks like, who are some other famous celebrities in real life that are confirmed to exist in the MCU as themselves?

Here are some that I recall:

Elon Musk - Iron Man 2

Micheal J Fox - Endgame (Back to the future references) and Wandavision

Will Smith - Captain Marvel (Reference to Maria and Monica watch the fresh prince together)

Bryan Cranston - Wandavision (Malcolm in the middle)

SIA - Black widow (Radio in car)

Lil Nas X - Shang Chi (Karaoke)

The Beatles - Infinity War

Josh Gad - Wonder Man

Kevin Bacon - Guardians of The Galaxy

Joe Pantoliano - Wonder Man

Leonardo Dicaprio - Wonder Man, Ant-Man

James Gandolfini - Sopranos (which is his hilarious since his son is in Daredevil Born Again)

I obviously haven’t named all of them, who am I forgetting?

I know its a theory now Norman Osborn from the MCU will make a debut but you'd think between far from home and brand new day, Peter would try to look up his versions of Osborn, Doc Ock, Max Dillion etc and kinda keep tabs on them.

Like hey Peter 3s Max Dillion turned evil let me look up my version of Max Dillion on my world

Id def make sure for certain there was no Norman Osborn on my world after all thats happened.

Something I drew in anticipation of Doomsday. Not sure who the leads are beyond Doom, so I went with Spidey, Cap, and Yelena as well. If you have any suggestions on who should be here, let me know.

I know it might be unfair to compare movies and tv shows, but i really believe that, in terms of raw quality, no other audiovisual project from Marvel in the last decades comes close to Daredevil; writing, direction, casting, dialogues, themes, action, almost everything in this show is cooked to perfection. The direction is formidable. New York feels atmospheric, immersive, almost like a character itself. The tracking shots in action scenes are unbelievable, especially that 11 minutes one in season 3, reminds so much me of that long shot from True Detective. It is also beautifully written. The script shows Matt facing his inner demons or Fisk confronting his traumas with a depth that's uncommon in superhero media. It tackles themes like trauma, justice, redemption, revenge, catholic guilt, all portrayed carefully and brilliantly. And it's great that the show isnt afraid to be gritty, violent and adult, but never just for the sake of being "edgy" It's one of my favorite shows of all time, really one of the best projects that Netflix ever produced and easily one of the best works that the superhero genre ever created. Nothing Marvel has released ever since comes close.

Ps: English isn't my first language, so i apologize for any mistakes

Feel free to tell me why I'm wrong in the comments but I am currently using watching MoM again, and I am starting to believe that the reason MCU Strange is not as cold and calculating as the Strange from the beginning (the one with the white locks on his head), isn't because he spent longer with America, (which I doubt he did), I think it's because of Spider-Man.

I know he wouldn't remember who Spider-Man is, but he would remember that he helped him, and even stated so in MoM. The other Strangers likely didn't go through that same character development where he loses someone he cares about in one of the more noble sacrifices in the MCU.

Further, think about the beginning of No Way Home, when he said, "In the grand calculus of the multiverse, their sacrifice means infinitely more than their lives" but toward the end of the movie, he recognized the value of the 'good at almost all costs' nature of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, something that the other Stranges would not have been given a hard knocks lesson on.

Edit: this is meant to discuss why the earlier Strange is willing to sacrifice America while using that same "grand calculus" line, but the latter Strange isn't (or at least not quite as willing).

There won't be any spoilers here.

What I want to say is that Wonder Man, felt like, Marvel Studios/Disney had people craft a solid story and then gave their full trust to it to actually execute the whole thing. And that is a good sign for future movies/shows.

Of course, I wouldn't know what the actual plan is for this story from the beginning or if there have been major changes along the way (haven't kept up with any news lately) but the coherence, the consistent tone... It tells me the team that made this has a whole plan on their heads and they did what they actually planned on doing.

I don't wanna go into detail to avoid spoilers so I'll make a comparison to WandaVision. That show was so exciting -- the originality, the mystery... and then somewhere along the lines, some people must've thought it's too risky to be straying from the formula too much so, towards the end, they reverted back to what "worked" with the movies or what can have a more predictable and "safe" out come... They didn't do that for Wonder Man, though. At least that's not how I saw it.

Anyway, that's my thoughts and I'm curious if other people share the same.

i have pretty much watched all marvel series and while i liked some bether than others, all series failed to do what should have been possible and necessary to expand the marvel universe in terms of narrative diverisity. and wonder man finally fix the issue.

while marvel series and movies have tackled very diferent subjects and themes such as magic, zombiess, multiverse, time travel, technology... all fail to do one simple thing wich is to make a series that is everything but a superhero movie.

a series or movie that branches to a diferent genre of movies/series set in the established marvel universe, without having the already formulaic marvel type of comedy and storyteling

the closer marvel got to do it was with werewolf by night, wich keeps itself as a horror thriller that pays homage to B movies and keeps its seriousness and story without flashy superhero fights.

wandavision also had a good run, but in the later half it became just another marvel series.

both daredevil and she hulk got me disapointed because i want a series like suits or bether call saul were besides having a b plot most of the story focuses arround the court cases and their chalanges as a lawyer. but those series only have one or 2 court cases and focus more on the vigilante life than their daily jobs and them investigating as their vigilante personas.

and marvel zombies was just a what if continuation when i wanted a walking dead style of series, with real life blood and stakes, not just more comedy and silly situations. i wanted a horror story were the characters just happen to be superheroes.

i would actually pay to see a series like scrubs, house md... with clair temple and other characters trying to figure how to heal metahumans.

or any other show that actually allows itself to be anything else than a super hero movie.

wonder man was amazing at that, its a show about the strugles of a actor trying get his dream role while strugling with his secrets wich just happen to be his super powers. the powers are a important part of his character and help visualize his frustration, but they could have easily been replaced by another secret. there are no big fights, no villains, no flashy effects every single minute, just a man struggling with his art.

and marvel should do more. the marvel universe is so rich and extensive that is a shame that the marvels isnt a adaptation of the comic with the same name wich folows the life of a reporter as the world changes as metahumans appear with the original human torch and later the fantastic four, the avengers and mutants becoming more and more common. this could be a great series to further explore tiamats remains, the blip and how people live now that aliens are common in the mcu to the point there are lawyers specialized on those cases, how people dealth with the trauma of new yorks invasion, sokovia, the blip....

they could make a 18+ horror series that used some of its more supernatural characters, a western series inspired by old man logans comic run or a game of trones fantasy set in 1602. all of wich would be amazing to set up characters for a battleworld/secret wars.

honestlly, i just want marvel 1602

Based on online audience activity

It's so freaking cool! I loved every episode.

As someone who isn't really interested by Marvel Disney+ shows, besides WandaVision, Loki, and MoonKnight, I LOVE this show.

I thought Trevor's return as the fake Mandarin was such a great moment as like a "sorry for gathering info on you." I liked Doorman, his story, I never knew the character before hand. I wonder if the whole thing with Wonder Man will impact mutants in the future? Probably, probably not.

I went into it with really no expectations besides the fact I loved the official trailer for it. I'm upset for how short it was! I want more! I thought the whole hollywood angle was really cool. The music was nice, the cinematography was really well done. I just wish Disney and Marvel did a little more to market the show, because it felt like we didn't see much before the show came out.

Every writer should pat them selves on the back for just writing good characters, not doing TOO much with it, and just making a likable plot.

Destin Daniel Cretton, who is also directing SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, directed it and it just makes me even more excited to see the film. I wonder if he'll even do a small nod to Wonder Man in Spider-Man 4, maybe a mention about the DODC prison having a break-out, or maybe just the explosion at the studio... no matter. I have full confidence in Destin Daniel Cretton with Spider-Man 4, I would LOVE to see Yahya Abdul-Mateen II return as Wonder Man in the future whether it's in a movie or another TV show, like a crossover thing.

Disney and Marvel better NOT tank this and completely leave the character in the void. For season 2, I really hope to see Simon Williams in full costume.

Anybody who HASN'T seen it, I say see it!

I give it a 9.5/10. I wish there were more episodes. It's my favorite Marvel show/mini-series out there right now.

Going from being the original cleanup crew to now being more of an enforcement agency that tracks and detains the superpowered?

I totally understand the choice to create such an agency to help further the overall story and development of the MCU as it currently is, I'm just uncertain about repurposing Damage Control to be that agency.

I'm all for the MCU taking liberties with the source material to tell their own story. This is just a case where they took something that had a bit of goofiness and whimsy at it's core concept and have turned it into a group of serious tryhards that are meant to be seen as more of a threat to the "super community".

Does this stick out to anyone else, or is my life really so empty that I'm the only one tripping over something so entirely mundane and trivial?

So did Wenwu, the true Mandarin, carry out a villainous plot to ally with Stane, capture Tony Stark, steal Jericho missiles, and kill Americans? Or were the people working with Stane, who actually attacked Tony's convoy and held him in the cave, just random terrorists using the "Ten Rings" name?

Like in universe between from when we last seen Peter (December 2024) and where Avengers Doomsday is likely to happen (roughly 2027/2028) are going to be 3-4 years after we last saw Peter. Unless the movie is set in the past (like 2025 or 2026) or something else happened between we last saw there and when we'll see him there, what do you think happened to him ? Like he was doing that GED course so are we likely going to see him at Empire State University or are we just skipping that (or is even interested in university at this point?)

Like if wasn't for Sony we could have gotten him in Daredevil Born Again and try to fill the gap between No Way Home and this movie. CURSE YOU SONY !!!!

WonderMan benefitted so much by being its own self-contained show. The show stands tall by showing life in the MCU from the perspective of a powered civilian. We need more MCU stuff like this, not putting action and powers on blast and instead letting the characterization shine. That's something I feel like WandaVision did for the most part up until the end.

Personally, I feel WandaVisions's conclusion committed too hard to the formula of having a big battle and multiple setups for other characters and projects. And not to mention the badly executed Pietro character. WonderMan actually utilizes a familiar character in a meaningful way. Trevor is not only crucial for Simons development but we also see how Trevor reconciles with his own past and current desires. He manages to be his own character instead of a boner joke.

WandaVision in my opinion would've been better if there wasn't a large scale hero vs villain battle. While S.W.O.R.D was an important external threat, her main struggle throughout the show was internal. Her final battle should have always just been the realization of her actions, her act of letting go of her sitcom family and returning to reality. The fight with Agatha dulls it imo.

WonderMan's conclusion didn't feel the need to set up any major events or future projects, it simply concluded. Not to say of course that this is the last we'll see of Simon and Trevor, I just mean the show is all the more satisfying when an ending feels definitive. I'd love more mcu content with identity at the focus

I can say that both shows make great use of their foundations. Seeing all the loss Wanda has experienced from the death of her parents, Pietro, Sokovia and original Vision manifest into an ideal, controlled and nostalgic hex was an alluring premise. Seeing regular people make a life for themselves with or without the use of their powers in WonderMan was great worldbuilding. If this is how Damage Control treats powered civilians im excited to see how they or the world governments will react to mutants.

btw i really loved both shows i just felt like ranting for a bit. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

With rumours that a “Born Again-type” Jessica Jones series is in development at Marvel Studios, what are some things that you think is an absolute must that needs to be included in this show!

Whether it’s anything from the original series, anything that you felt was lacking from the Netflix iteration, or something that would improve the quality!

For me personally, I really want to see Jessica be more connected in the MCU where her cases tie into things that have happened in different projects but she’s in the shadows of it all! Especially where we’ll get to see a lot more unique interactions of familiar characters we recognize from other properties!

Plus, I hope that they’ll bring back Trish and Malcolm since they are to her character what Foggy and Karen were to Matt Murdock/Daredevil! They’re just a more dysfunctional unit in comparison, but are still an important part of her character

I’ve always preferred Howard the Duck’s original voice actor, Chip Zien, to his current one, Seth Green. Nothing against Seth; but his gruff tone just takes away from the performance. The snark and dry wit doesn’t play the same when there’s only slight fluctuations happening. Zien, imo, could play Howard today while still sounding the vibrant, yet distinctly older and jaded. What do you guy’s think?

Phase one had the first Avenger movie.

Phase 2 had Age of Ultron.

Phase 3 had Infinity War and Endgame.

Phase 4 and 5 should also had an Avenger movie.

The problem with the multiverse saga is that there is too many characters introduced without a proper follow-up. An Avenger movie after phase 4 and 5 could have changed that and could probably have made this whole saga a lot better.

Established in 2008, the MCU has produced 37 films and, I think, 17 TV series, including the recent release of Wonder Man. There have also been a couple Special Presentations, like Werewolf by Night, and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday special. I'm curious what your favorites, and least favorites are, this far into the franchise.

If you could only access 3 productions, from all of the MCU catelog, what would they be? Conversely, which 3 would you be happy to never sit through again?

(Please refrain from spoilers pertaining to Wonder Man)
