      Disney/marvel is not gonna fix anything. There are two wrapped up in the message and also the fact that the leadership right now needs to be fired for anything to get better. As for me I don’t care about the MCU or Disney or Hollywood in general anymore I have my anime and stuff from Japan. I’m good.

      Major's case is like watching Narcissistic A-Hole vs Crazy Clout Chaser. Neither are 💯 right. Classic train wreck of people we would despise in real life. Maybe they'll both learn from this and avoid toxic behavior afterwards but I really don't think they're that self aware lol

      There are others. My hero Academia comes to mind and for something more comedic, One punch man (who have a protagonist as powerful as Captain Marvel but has a personality).
      There is surprisingly much you can do with super heroes if you just have a little imagination and some talent.
      I am however expecting Disney to double down instead. They just hired a black female director with no experience at all for fiction to make the next Star wars movie and expect something similar to Marvel.

    Hey Greg, quick legal point: Appellate courts very rarely overturn criminal convictions because they disagree with a jury's decision on the facts. The idea is that, absent fraud or malfeasance, if a jury could have reasonably reached the conclusion that they did based on the evidence presented at trial, it's not the role of an appellate court to second-guess them. Appellate courts typically review decisions of law made by the trial judge. So if the judge impermissibly allowed the prosecution to present some evidence to the jury that they shouldn't have seen or advance some prejudicial argument against Majors, that might constitute reversible error.
    Anyway, love your take, as always!

    I think your idea of starting a new “universe” is genius. If Marvel had started with the idea of creating characters and stories in one universe and then pivoting to a second universe once that saga wraps up they would’ve had decades worth of content (not to mention the blank canvas creators would have each time a new saga is created). Also inevitably when the multiverse idea is introduced it would be way more impactful since we would have deep connections to all of the characters that span multiple sagas/universes

    Your proposition included logic in it and a potential to generate revenue for MCU hence there is no way marvel to follow that route. I do not have a major in this but Marvel seems to afraid of any sort of change so they will still try to do things like back then under the guise of "reshoots" and "recasts". CEOs and top guys are the same so a new path is unlikely.

  • @michaeleverett9091
    @michaeleverett9091 5 місяців тому +3

    Instead of individual movies I think they need to take a page out of the 90s playbook and build two separate teams: Blue and Gold. That would allow them to have a wide cast they can pull from and a team-up movie that has the two teams chasing different goals and then joining forces at the start of the third act. It would also let them focus on different aspects of the team and the X-Men as a concept between the two, such as the Blue team fighting for Xavier's dream while the Gold focuses on diplomacy.
    A full shutdown and reboot is a great idea, because it would be Marvel admitting without admitting that they've lost the audience and they are willing to try something new to get them back. Continuing down the Multiverse Saga path is just going to make more of the same.

    What the MCU SHOULD have done was end Endgame with a post-credit scene in the 1960's showing a mutant being born. Then the next phase could have been introducing mutants - Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, Vision and the Scarlett Witch, Weapon X, Namor: The Sub-Mariner, etc. - with the requisite post-credit scenes of Professor X and Magneto poaching mutants for their respective teams, leading up to phase-ending X-Men movie. You could also throw Fantastic Four in there as the franchise for the gonzo, wacky, and cosmic stuff, starting with the Mole Man and later introducing Annihilus and the Negative Zone, Doctor Doom and the anti-Wakanda of Latveria, Sauron and the Savage Land, and Kang as a lower-key FF villain. Over subsequent phases you could play out stories based on the Mutant Massacre, Mutant Registration Act and the Sentinels, X-Tinction Agenda, New Mutants/X-Force, Mutant Genesis/Fatal Attractions, etc. as your organically topical superhero movies while the FF and Spider-Man are being gonzo fun movies. However, the entire decade-2 MCU ends with Earth's heroes fighting Galactus. That's even when you can pull the Avengers characters out of mothballs to join in, since we basically haven't heard anything from Falcon, Winter Soldier, The Hulk, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, etc. during any of this. But you HAVE TO include the scene with Tom Holland's Spider-Man and Charlie Cox's Daredevil just sitting out and watching the X-Men, Brotherhood, Avengers, Fantastic Four, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc. fighting Galactus because they know they can't do sh*t about it.
    But all of that is happening in some other parallel universe where I worked for Disney. In this universe, it's too late to do anything.

It's unconscionable to me that considering the evidence that the D.A. could bring charges against one of the couple without bringing them against both of them.

    If I were them I would just do a hard reboot and have All the characters together this time, The FF, The X-Men, The Avengers: a new Iron Man, Cap, Widow, Hulk, Black Panther (T'Challa), etc. And maybe keep the best and youngest actors from the previous universe. I would use this to fix all the f*ck ups they've done like M.O.D.O.K, Taskmaster, The Wrecking Crew, Titania and Secret Invasion. And no, it wouldn't start from the beginning telling origin stories all over again, most of the heroes and the relationships between them would be already established and with a few years of experience and villains behind their back

      I like the idea of keeping the best and getting rid of the worst, but I’m afraid the normies (and I include myself there) would be confused by what is real and what is canceled. Easier to make a clean break, BUT that break needs to come with a new mentality towards storytelling and identity politics that is rotting current Marvel

      ​​​@@gregowen2022 Oh no, I wouldn't be keeping anything, continuity wise it's a completely different thing but maybe keeping some actors like Benedict Cumberbach and Tom Holland. But it would still be clear they're not the same characters, just like nobody thought that J. Jonah Jameson from the MCU and from the Raimi movies were the same. But of course none of it would matter if, like you say, it's the same people with the same ideas still running the show

    Let the Russos make a final Thor movie. In it, wrap up the whole Asgardian storyline with Thor encountering Loki holding the timeline together, tying back to Loki S2. They work together to snuff out all the Kangs, locking them all into a timeline that they prune. Loki and Thor accept Loki's fate and if you want one more multiverse shananigan you have Loki deliver Thor Jane Foster pre-death. They go off and have kids and yada yada. Post credit scenes are very vague - one is a scientist discovering the mutant gene in a lab from an 'unknown' person (fade to black as a snippet of the X-Men theme plays), the other is a scene in space that teases the origin story of the Fantastic Four. That's it. Then you reboot.

      The Russos were the guys who brought us Fat Thor, and came off as positively anti-Loki (in the sense of not seeing value in the character) in interviews. I'd bring back Kenneth Branagh myself, if I were trying to make the film you describe (which sounds great) happen. I will remark in passing that Loki S2 kind of peaked in panderverse quota with the World's Fair episode, and after that turned into an incoherent but moderately entertaining show that backburnered the heck out of the self-righteous and uncharismatic Sylvie and refocused on Loki and Mobius with OB and Victor Timely kind of tagging along.

    I think you're half-correct about just rebooting the mcu. However, there are some nagging story lines still in the air. Shang-Chi, The Eternals, etc. Maybe they could resolve some of that with a disney+ show for those interested. Some of the characters ARE actually well written and interesting. Ms. Marvel, Shang-Chi, Kate Bishop, hell even Baron Zemo is kind of interesting after that last outing with Falcon and Winter Soldier. I'm personally a huge fan of Cumberbatch's Dr. Strange, and would hate to see that character leave.

The only question is: who gets character-assassinated to make it happen? I vote Hulk. He just wants one more day with.....whomever his baby-mama is, and that resets the universe...

    On the X-Men. You clearly haven't heard the Disney leak about the female led X-Men. (lol) It's funny that Disney killed Marvel because Marvel already did this to itself in the 80s and 90s: It's like a time loop.

    I agree with with most of this video but marvel did not have a plan for phases 1-3. They kinda threw some ideas together and it worked mostly due to haveing likable actors in their roles. There was not long term plan. Thanos was just tacked onto the mid credit scene of avengers but you can tell they were trying to figure the story out as they went. It’s true that marvel needs a cohesive plan moving forward but if you watch the movies you can tell they didn’t have one before. At least they were trying something different with Kang.

    You hit the mark directly on point why the MCU sucks now. Lack of direction towards any proper assemble, Lack of character development or liking towards any of those newer Avengers and Some leaks are saying they tryna shift towards X-Men with Avengers having a very small role in the next saga. I think it's really time we lose faith in the MCU because they do not care and are not passionate enough to make the best out of their potential and deliver 'good' movies having great connectivity. Instead are trying to bring in just popular characters from comics and Cast on the big screens to grab in audience in the theatres to hit the blockbuster mark. There are just so much things wrong at the moment. When they can't do good with the with that they had was the best. What good can we expect from them in the future?

      The comics industry had the same problem decades ago, debating what direction the field should take, with some older die hards (many older fans gave up the hobby by the mid to later 1980’s) and newer readers thinking that the medium should be all about Spiderman/X-Men/Bat Man/TMNT/Spawn etc, ; whereas some of us believed the direction forward (for the MASS market, not the niche one) should have been American Splendor/Maus/Love and Rockets. Superheroes came out on top(at least concerning American comics). Even with the plethora of publishers and titles post-1980’s indie-boom, the comics industry and the majority of the readership remains stuck in juvenilia.

Doom is one of the most iconic Marvel characters ever, his introduction needs to be done carefully. His genius level surpasses both Reed Richards and Tony Stark, while his control over magic rivals Dr. Strange, yet he's the leader of his own fictional country who doesn't get his hands dirty for no reason. Have him play similarly to Thanos, slowly dropping hints of his existance and have the "Fine, I'll do it myself" moment.
