New costume looks like shit tbh.
Kamala’s appeal is that she’s essentially a kid playing superhero. Her stories are comfy, low level teen shit with a dash of Haram drama.
Giving her a high budget Hollywood costume completely goes against that whole deal of why people liked Kamala in the first place. It especially doesn’t help with her costume looking like it’s made from the same exact material every other MCU costume is made from.

Yeah, Kamala's whole superhero outfit was made out of stuff she quite literally just found in her closet. She's a home grown teen superhero who doesn't have access to fancy costume materials so she made do with a burkini, some fabric paint, and a scarf for flair.

Also, I don't like that they got rid of her tall blue boots and replaced them with red converse. The lack of that secondary pop of blue throws off the color balance in her costume.

Kamala's home made suit only lasted a few issues. She quickly replaced it with a much more advanced one made by her friend Bruno (I think it fits into her bangle like Flash's suit fits inside of a ring).

And, yeah, I definitely agree that she worked much better as a street-level, working class hero like Spider-Man originally was instead of 'Baby Avenger' that's on a multitude of teams and best friends with every super hero.

Now that you pointed it out, MCU Spidey is effectively Kamala Khan. He simped for bigger, established heroes, got asked to be a new Baby Avenger, and his crappy homemade costume got replaced with a super advanced one.

Then you rewrite Endgame in some way that removes past-Thanos as the main equation, because honestly his inclusion is the dumbest part of the movie and really makes no sense.

I figured Old Thanos's inclusion was to bring him more in line with his comic book counterpart, and to show that his plan is dumb and hypocritical enough that you shouldn't be sympathizing with him.

What kind of person wipes out 50% of all life "for the good of the universe" only to be upset when someone kills them in retaliation? That's retarded, and showing it points out that no matter what misgivings people may have about whether his plan was right or wrong, he ultimately wasn't willing to put himself on the receiving end of his own judgement at any stage.

Most of the Ms Marvel cast are racially miscast. It's unfortunate.

You know the whole thing with for example, Columbian Penelope Cruz as a Brazilian in that Jessica Chastain movie. That, but applied to Ms Marvel cast

It's weird but a bit advantageous to various actors.

Look at Jimmy Woo, a Chinese-American, being played by Randall Park, a Korean-American. Or like that majority of the cast of Black Panther playing Africans despite being black Americans.

Thanos wasn't upset when they tried to kill him after the snap, though.

Its when he sees his work undone and the heroes in possession of the Infinity Gems that he goes scorched Earth in Endgame.

Frankly, it's impractical and unnecessary to accurately race-cast everyone, especially when most audiences won't be able to tell the difference anyways, and that's if the character's race/nationality even comes up at all. If you had an actor who's perfect for the role who can pass for the character's race but isn't, you should be going for them 100% of the time over a subpar actor of the "accurate" race.

The funniest "accurate" race-casting in the MCU is Chloe Bennett playing Quake in Agents of Shield. Her and her character are both half-Chinese, but she doesn't look even vaguely Asian (at least not in the makeup they had her in), which makes what's actually an race-accurate casting look like whitewashing.

I agree, I think Idris Elba was a good Heimdall and the comic autists were sperging about it when he was first cast and no one else cared.

True. It's a double edged sword. Apparently something about Pakistani vs Indian middle eastern casting is what's causing a stir (her mom in particular for some reason)

So forgive this question for possibly being dumb, I don't really follow the MCU too closely:

Have they explained why the world hasn't outright collapsed into world wide war and famine after the 4 billion people suddenly being brought back five years after Endgame?

5 years is enough time where the world would have adapted to the sudden loss of people. (Nevermind the mass causlities resulting from people dying from people being dusted and stuff like farmimg/electrical grid collapse.) Having them all come back would put immense strain on resources and basic food production. By all rights, millions/billions should be starving to death or already dead in the immediate aftermath.

The short answer is no.

As Cactus put it, if you think too hard about the MCU, you're gonna have a bad time.

This. The MCU was never realistic and only autists take it super srs. It has remarkably good continuity for a decade-long series, but that doesn’t mean any of it actually holds up to real-world logical scrutiny.

It’s a step above your average bottom of the barrel mass-produced Hollywood trash like Transformers, but it’s no high art - and that’s fine, it’s not trying to be.

If you can’t accept that the MCU is only realistic when it’s convenient for the plot, maybe you shouldn’t be watching comic book movies made for the widest possible audience.

If that's the case, he's just an asshole.

"I will save the galaxy by killing only half of everything no-one. I just want you dead."

 

[SuiSui1]

I'm pretty sure that the younger Thanos in End game said that he was going to start all over. that he was going to build a new universe that was grateful that it knew nothing of the old and make himself defacto god.

but yeah, marvel movies are the equative of fast food. The only three moments I would consider impactful would be: The argument between Thor and Odin in "Thor", Thanos tossing Gomorra in "Infinity War" and John Walker killing the flag smasher in "TFAWS"

Latinos in general descend from Asian people

What? I'll admit I'm not a history expert but this is the first time I've heard this claim

Falcon and the Winter Solider very vaguely insinuates they're "trying to do something about all this, but shit's hard man!". Specifics are never mentioned and it's never discussed any longer than minutes on end, but they've casually brought up it's been something of an issue that they don't know what to do about.

They should do better.

I mean... no... Thanos was very obviously *not* right... But 'present' Thanos in Endgame who had already accomplished his goals and was just chilling in butfuck nowhere seemed to welcome his own death well enough. I'm guessing that's because as far as he knew it wasn't actually possible for the Avengers to undo what he had already done at the time, even if he died. Hence "I am inevitable."

Think about it this way, if Thanos cared more about keeping his own ass alive than his mission, he wouldn't have destroyed the gauntlet and stones when he did. The remaining Avengers wouldn't have even found him if he didn't do that, but even if they somehow did find him, he would have annihilated them all instantly if he had kept the gauntlet and stones, and yet he still chose to destroy them all.

I don't even think it's a contradiction for past Thanos to see that in his future he would accomplish his goal, but that the Avengers would somehow manage to undo his victory with shenanigans, (I don't even remember if past Thanos found out that his future version was dead, I'm assuming that he did but it isn't even relevant.) and then go scorched earth because they were undoing his victory and he knew it.

Thanos was still a retarded faggot, but I at very least don't think he was a *complete* hypocrite. He was still a retard though.

Marvel Entertainment just posted this video

The interesting shit starts at 2:19 with Eternals footage, then it's just a bunch of title cards and release dates.

Black Panther 2 is called Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, July 8th 2022
Captain Marvel 2 is called The Marvels, November 11 2022
The video ends with a pretty blatant F4 reference/tease.
