LMAO

Idk what to tell you.

The X-Men were created in the 1960s amidst the Civil Rights Movement. Clear parallels there.

They had the Legacy Virus in the 90s with clear parallels to the AIDS epidemic.

Clear LGBT parallels in the Bryan Singer trilogy, as well as throughout X-Men history.

Now they’ve got a non binary shapeshifter and all of a sudden it’s “woke”?

Last episode was kinda dumb and pointless, hoping next one is better.

It felt like filler. They probably wanted to let things breath a little, which I can understand but it did feel like a whole lot of not much happened.

Oof... the new episode Remember It hits hard. Hard to talk about it without giving anything away so spoiler tags be warned. Don't click it until you watch the episode.

Lol

Jaw dropping for sure

"Remember it"

:clap:

Why they gotta do my boy like that?

Whew! That episode made me oddly emotional.



Nightcrawler is ****ing awesome too, even though he didn’t do much yet. He looks great.

Spoilers, obviously. And look past the dude geeking out, lol.

Would love to see Age of Apocalypse adapted for season 2. Wolverine and the X-Men teased it at the end of its first and only season.

Potential Thor 5 news

I did not realize Brannagh directed.

Would for sure be nice if they don't try to recreate the Love and Thunder disaster.

Had this come out immediately following WandaVision I’d have had high hopes for it. Now, with the string of shit they’ve been putting out in the interim, I’m forcing myself to give it a 50/50 shot of being good.

Wonder if Aubrey Plaza will play the same exact character she plays in every single show she's in..... wait, yes she will.

She's certifiably batshit, and she'd likely walk away with half of the Bowser hundreds if she ever wanted it.

It doesn't look like she's playing too much of a different character here than she did in the Legion show (check it out if you missed it, it's a different take of the mutant side of Marvel). The question becomes is she real, or is she just in Agatha's head.

Just checking in a confirm that Legion was awesome. Loved that show and Aubrey Plaza was great in it.

I never saw Legion - may check it out. I'm just guessing she acted the same way in Legion that she did in every other show she's in. Parks & Rec is a good example of what I'm talking about.

Honestly I think that looks terrible.

Ok, it has my curiosity but like everything else Marvel and the House of Mouse has put out recently I am extremely guarded.

Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.

Legion is a fantastic show, with some faults. But it's bold, it looks beautiful, has some All Timer sequences, and makes fascinating choices that few other shows have tried to make.

I imagine there will be more explanation on this soon, but it was just announced that the Russo's are back to direct Avengers 5 (now called Avengers: Doomsday) and Avengers: Secret Wars... with Robert Downey Jr as Dr. Doom.

Wait.. what?

Evil Iron Man variant or something?

Gayyyy.

This is desperate as ****. The man is 60. This character deserves a new face.

Has to be. Only way it makes sense.

This dude was joking holy shit:

I dunno. If they do it right I think there's tons of potential. Dark as **** to force the Avengers into fighting a variant of Tony Stark given he saved the world with the snap. Peter Parker especially.

It seems like they're specifically calling him "Victor Von Doom". And for what it's worth, in the comics Doom rarely takes off his mask. So I see a way they could thread that needle.

(Deadpool & Wolverine spoilers)

And as far as I know this wasn't plan A, right? Big bad was going to be Kang but the whole Majors situation ****ed that.

Now, if it's just Downey Jr playing a completely new character with absolutely no connection to Stark/Iron Man that's pretty silly.

All they needed was the Russo Bros and a good casting. That's it. This was just a little too much and reeks of desperation.

They SHOULD be desperate quite honestly.

Huh. Apparently this is already a concept. Different universe Tony Stark learns to use magic to defeat his Thanos but it drives him mad and he becomes Doom.

But you shouldn't reek of it.

Getting the Russo Bros back is just the right amount of desperate. This feels like begging on your knees crying to the point of it just being even more pathetic.

Hope I'm wrong and it is the right move, but this man is also just old as shit.

As long as it's entertaining don't care how we get there. Evil Tony Stark is a significant improvement over a bunch of Kang Varients.

Also as I think about it, there have been different interpretations, but usually under the mask Doom is horribly disfigured. If they don't show his origin they really could do it without ever showing Downey's face.

You're not casting Downey Jr as the new big bad and not showing him every chance that's feasibly possible. Plenty of ways to get around him being 60 in action scenes but when it's time to throw out some exposition take the mask off.

I should clarify that when I say not show his face, I mean show it unobscured by prosthetics and/or CG.

Then again, I think it might be cool to do a version of it where you only ever see his eyes through the mask. Kind of like Bane in TDKR.

Yep. I’m no critic. This is a surprising move but it’s based on comic books. Comic books have an insane amount of variations and continuities. All that matters is whether its good or not.

Doom has a mangled face and hence the mask, if they stay loyal to the comics. They should be able to pull off RDJ in that role relatively easy, and he certainly has the acting chops to make it work.

That said, I don't care for this. There is no shortage of actors out there that could have crushed playing Doom if given the chance, but that's my initial reaction and will probably warm to the idea. As you said, there IS precedent of Tony Stark becoming the Sorcerer Supreme in his universe, losing his mind, and becoming one of that universe's biggest bads.

Victor von Doom was trying to rescue his mother from eternal damnation and that's how he mastered his mystic abilities in the 616 universe to go along with being a brilliant mind with tech to rival Stark's. I wonder if this Doom will have a similar story - trying to bring his mother back after being murdered by Winter Soldier (leading to Mephisto???)?

Basically, what Jamie said. (dammit, Jamie!)

Good thing I've lost nearly all interest in anything marvel related.

I'm willing to take a chance on it. I'll admit I may be a sucker for certain Marvel projects at this point.

I'll admit I chuckled at Lewis Pullman playing a guy named Bob after he played Bob in Top Gun: Maverick. We'll see how they pull his character off in this.

I'm more then happy to watch Florence Pugh on screen for 2 hours.

Yeah, she's hot as hell. Even if she's going through her "weird IRL" stage right now, lol.

https://static1.moviewebimages.com/w...ts-poster.jpeg

So we have three super soldiers, a highly trained assassin, a person that can master any fighting style by watching it once, a living ghost, and a mega OP character that is basically MCU's version of Superman (sorta, if they stay true to the comics. Moreso if they REALLY stay true to the comics).

I think I'm kind of looking forward to it. I wonder how close the story will run with the Captain Falconmerica movie coming out?

Not super familiar with the comics or the characters... which one is supposed to be Superman like?

The dude at the bottom left. He plays Sentry who is a Superman like character but he has schizophrenia.

A better Suicide Squad, I'll watch it. Giving me Winter Soldier Vibes

I should clarify - he's not a photocopy of Superman, but he's certainly in his class in terms of near invulnerability and strength. And not an alien; his backstory is nothing like that.

Really curious if they can pull of the Sentry character. Because he's really weird and complex in the comics. I can see it being a pretty tough role, but we'll see..

The portrayal of a schizophrenic "Superman" was pretty awesome in the comics though...

I feel like he’d benefit greatly from a stand-alone movie or TV series.

But they did well enough with the mentally ill superhero thing in Moon Knight so we will see..

But they also completely ****ed up Adam Warlock, another similarly complex character.

Yup.

There's some great books if you ever want to experience the original stories.

I'll admit I'm a sucker for this show. Loved the comics in the 80's.

They’re still ****ing that Captain Carter chicken, eh?

Avengers Megazord is a cool concept, though, I will admit. And Storm with Mjolnir? I’ll watch just to see what that’s about.

Hayley Atwell must have some serious pull with Kevin Feige

https://external-content.duckduckgo....34e&ipo=images


And there is comic reference for Storm wielding Mjolnir, which is pretty damned cool, but the bigger point is the X-Men are joining "What If?" and that is SUPER freaking cool. Someone was claiming they got a glimpse of Apocalypse in there somewhere, making it all over the top if true, but I didn't see it.

I don’t even blame him. I’d fold like a cheap lawn chair the second she came near me with those magnificent beasts.
