I read the whole script and sadly it’s believable
Taking one for the team, taken to a new level! I read the beginning and skipped around a bit. You are the Antman to my Antman: Quantumania.
Love (thors daughter) says it’s Kang Bang time.
Uh, what rating is this movie?
I think the tl;dr is:
- fox characters are sacrificed in the intro and the kang’s say the blood of mutants will lead to them taking over everything and it’s never mentioned again
Seriously? I read the opening but they never come up again? Wow - what the opposite of Chekov's Gun?
- spiderman and miles doing New York stuff, black characters doing wakanda stuff, Shang chi and Kamala stressed because their powers are what the jangs want
At the end of the Ms. Marvel series (and I pity the actress the movies because
her series was actually good) it's revealed that it's not all about her bangles. Her friend finds a "mutation" in her DNA and then the X-Men theme plays in the background. I guess they may drop that.
- the world leaders get Nick fury to release adamantium sentinels
Sentinels in a world without mutants / X-men? Bit weird.
- the TVA and fantastic four are building the ark this time and some survivors are spiderman, deadpool and Wolverine, Nic cage ghost rider and the FF and it ends with them seeing battleworld
Because of course - forget plot or emotion - shove cameos in there. Must trigger the dopamine hit of recognition.
It felt real to me. Cringe character dialog, not taking world ending events seriously, meaningless cameos, just one long excuse to go from setpiece to setpiece. Plus nearly all the main characters are women or diversity
If doomsday is retooled from this, fuck
It's almost certain that they are making Doom an alternative universe Tony Stark, based on RDJ's return and some comments about "nobody else could play this part".
Which will be an absolute travesty of the character in so many ways. Maybe I'll list them if confirmed.
"I understood that reference" was funny because it was Cap saying it, someone who had been frozen and missing for decades and only recently got thawed out, the humor coming from the fact that you wouldn't expect him to get a contemporary reference. It's not funny at all if the average person points out they got it because of course they would, but modern writers are stupid and don't understand why they can't just keep aping things that really only worked in a specific context.
It's also well delivered by Chris Evans and not hammered home.
My go to example in that movie would actually be a different exchange. Where they're all getting in each other's faces and Cap says to Tony: "Big man in a suit of armour. Take that away and what are you?" To which Stark replies: "Billionaire, philanthropist genius playboy" (or something like that).
This works great because it adds to the tension, it's a believably antagonistic and snappy response from Stark and most especially, because it shows a difference between Cap and Iron Man. This is a thing that Iron Man would say and which Cap would not (or should not) and there's a friction between the two from that.
