Running MCU thread

I think Scout is right, at least in the case of Pietro. In the episode, she tells her sons that she can't bring back the dead. That means she can't bring back her brother from the MCU, so she brings in another version of him from the multiverse.

Vision may be an exception because he isn't human.

 

They could also bring in Reed Richards now and all the other members of the fantastic four and troll us for years as they stay as normal humans, but then there will be an event the transforms them.

 

But is Vision back from the dead, or is she just animating the zombie version we saw? This is what I love about this show and what people who were impatient didn't see coming in the early episodes. There are SO many questions that are going to unravel week by week. I didn't even get the Infinity Stone connection to the commercials until it was pointed out.

 

I could actually see them doing this too. And this is part of why I love Kevin Feige and how he controls everything. If they do that, it's because he knows it'll give people a reason to see everything because they won't want to miss seeing Ben Grimm or Johnny or Susan Storm pop up on a show they decided to skip.

 

OK, you write story by doing the ending last, and I’m guessing we are going to do another all-my-toys-fight-all-your-toys ending again.

So, what are the toys?

I’m also throwing out there that they will one-up EndGame by having multiple groups of toys fighting in multiple places/times/Multiverses.

So, XMen, Avengers, Fantastic Four squaring off against Doom and evil mutants?

Where do the Eternals fit in? Fuck. I’m so looking forward to this.

 

When he's done right, Doom doesn't need anyone else to have to draw multiple teams to take him down. But remember, the Loki series will be redefining the fate of the Tesseract. So what if Doom ends up with the Tesseract? Could be him with the Tesseract against the new Avengers (maybe the Young Avengers, too) and the soon-to-be-introduced Fantasic Four and X-Men.

This is one of those things where I hope they tie things together when it makes sense but still give each series its own chance to stand alone if it works better that way.

 

He seems to have some independence, so I don't think it is just her manipulating him the way she manipulates the others. There is something of the Vision himself in there.

 

I think so, too. But I'm wondering how much and how he'll survive after this without an Infinity Stone propping him up.

 

Appreciate the insight. Very fun. And @JRoyal I didn’t make the infinity stone/commercial connection at all either. Very interesting.

Of all this stuff I know very little about Fantastic 4. I’ll have to brush up. I remember being underwhelmed by the one flick 10-12 years ago other than Jessica Alba being stunningly gorgeous.

 

The first FF movie was bad. The second one was worse. The reboot was barely a step above Howard the Duck.

The biggest problem with those movies is they all fucked up Dr. Doom. None of them even came close.

 

That's one of the reasons I thought they might be better served taking a different route with his MCU version. Play up the mystical/magical aspects of his character and make him a villain for Dr. Strange. Then he can morph into a highly capable magician who also embraces advanced technology to enhance his abilities, which makes him a threat to the entire MCU. Like a villainous cross between Dr. Strange and Tony Stark.

 

I really hope they do something different with Ben Grimm. Big and dumb does not fit with the other three.

Like Jason Statham or the Rock would be a great Ben Grimm. I know, it’s not Fast and Furious, but that’s who I would like to see.
