Running MCU thread

It’s Monday morning...

They just opened up the X Men and she sent a text to Reed Richards? Mother fucker.

If Jim from the Office walks into one of these Sword tents, the internet will erupt. Well, maybe not as much as Fassbenber waltzing through the door as granddaddy Magneto.

WandaVision is setting so many pieces on the table.

 

I would certainly like to see them bring in Reed Richards, but that aerospace engineer could be someone else from the comics. One option could be Adam Brashear, the Blue Marvel. It could also be an even more obscure character, but I imagine it will be a name fans of the comics will recognize.

 

Maybe Victor Von Doom?

 

That would be a fun twist, but I think the others make more sense.

 

Doom and Wanda have a history in the comics, one that also connects to one of her sons, Wiccan (Billy). If Victor Von Doom hasn't gone supervillain yet in the MCU, why wouldn't calling him in make as much sense as anyone else?

 

I think Doom tricked Wanda into opening up other realms in a way to get Magneto and others on his side.

 

I was thinking more in relation to Brashear. He and Rambeau have a history in the comics.

I just can't imagine Doom allowing himself to connect with a government operative like Rambeau. Richards just seems more likely to have that connection.

 

You're thinking of him as Dr. Doom, ruler of Latveria. If they set him up earlier where he hadn't wrested control from the Baron yet, or as a young heir to the throne (which strays from his comic origin, but wouldn't be the first time), then it could make sense for her to have turned to him if he's a hot young scientist at Empire State.

I think Brashear is the most likely candidate, though. I actually put Reed at the back of the pack because he doesn't have a strong connection to any of the characters. I don't think they're gonna introduce him as a bit player in this. Doom could be a set up for him to play a role in the Doctor Strange movie (he takes Wanda at the end of WandaVision to help her deal with her turmoil), but Breshear and Rambeau have the Ultimates connection, and I could see them wanting to introduce Blue Marvel. I could see him playing a role in the next Captain Marvel film.

 

A big part of Doom's character has always been trying to rescue his dead mother from hell. If he's seen that Wanda is capable of resurrecting Vision in some form, maybe that intrigues him and is the hook to bring him into the MCU.

Hell, they could make Latveria a neighbor of Sokovia and Wanda and Doom could have a shared history of some sort.

 

Caught up and rewatched all 5. Yeah, this is really good. Marvel continues to impress.

I do have a question that those with more knowledge of the expanded universe and cross-overs can answer. It seems like we’re on to spoiler stuff so I’ll go ahead.

So, Pietro/Quicksilver was killed in Age of Ultron. Did Wanda resurrect him the same as Vision but from the X Men universe? Or do we think something is else is going on?

Or more simply, how was Quicksilver dead in MCU and alive in X-Men and how is that resolved?

I’ll hang up and listen.

 

She is crossing multi verses with her powers and bringing in people that she lost.

Oh by the way... same J Jonah Jameson.

Far From Home is set months after Wanda Vision.

 

There are two main theories I've seen. One is what Scout said: She's crossing the multiverse and reshaping things to bring in people she's lost. I lean toward this. (An interesting twist/add to this is that the Quicksilver she pulled was around in the 1980s in the X-Men movie universe in that form/at that age, the same time as the sitcoms she pulled from for that episode of her show, whereas her brother died in 2015 in the MCU, which would put him being born sometime in the late 1980s or 1990s). This is the theory I hold to.

A second theory holds that it's not actually Pietro. It's Mephisto disguising himself as her brother. Why would he pick the wrong version? No clue.
