Were they afraid that the viewers would confuse him with Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 if the actor was painted blue?

I feel real sorry for taskmaster's stuntman, literally played the character for 95% of the movie yet is paid peanuts compared to olga kurylenko.

I was pretty happy with Loki overall. Character growth over action is all I've really wanted.

The ending reminded me of how the Exiles comic ended, with the team protecting the multiverse from other Kangs.

There is no way that wasn't Kang.

This has easily been the best of the Disney+ Marvel shows so far.

There's already clickbait articles like this going "Um, actually. It was Immortus." which the authors only found out when they read Wikipedia after the episode.

None of the tv shows will ever have any real effect on the MCU besides some side characters that appears for two minutes and then fucks off.

That's a fair assessment, but it doesn't really need to be super important to be enjoyable. I'd say this particular show was extremely important though, more than WV+F&TWS combined.

Eh, I didn't think the finale was awful but I do think the big reveal was handled poorly. Definitely the best of the Disney+ shows so far and given what's slated to be coming I don't see the others being better.

She-Hulk could be fun, especially if those rumours about Charlie Cox are true.

Them describing it as a half-hour legal comedy kinda killed my interest in it. I'm already burnt out on MCU's 'humor'.

I was sorta hopeful for Moon Knight but the showrunner is same guy who wrote the most recent F4 movie and a couple of shitty horror movies, so my expectations for that are in the garbage. Ms. Marvel could actually be okay if they just make it a fun teenage superhero show but I doubt they will, I'm sure we'll get some speech by her about how diversity is our strength or something by the end.

Regarding FaTWS and WandaVision, I agree. They had vary little tangible impact on the MCU, and could easily be written off.

But with Loki, the events of the final episode appear to kickstart Multiverse of Madness as well as No Way Home (assuming those multiverse Spider-Men rumors are true).

Sylvie literally killed He Who Remains (played by Jonathan Majors) and let the timelines go wild, which creates a whole bunch of evil variants of him and leads to another Multiversal War. This is clear setup for Kang The Conqueror, as he is going to be played by the same actor in Quantumania.

I can't really see how the movies would skim past this. It seems pretty important.

An outright MCU comedy could be good, as most of the shit people are sick of is the "We need a shitty punchline or sight gag so things don't get too heavy" tacked onto the end of someone trying to be serious.

Ms Marvel is either going to be pretty good or really bad. If they stuck with the comic where she was a fun street level teenager who was incidentally brown (Islam comes out as a matter of fact here and there but as I recall there's only one specific "Are you fucking with me because I'm BROWN?!" plot in the entire OG run, and that's from her brother who he himself is routinely mocked by the entire family for being too into it), but the shit I'm hearing about the stuff they're changing isn't filling me with confidence. Despite liking (the original version, anyway) character, I fully expect the show to be shit.

I have no idea what you just said. Any villain from outside the MCU films will stay outside the MCU because no one is expected to watch those shows. At best it will give justification to multiverse shit, but that's an obvious plot direction that already sucked in the comics.

Kang, who was introduced in Loki, is already slated as the main villain for Antman 3.

Wouldn't it be kind of hilarious if The Mandarin in Shang Chi winds up being a mediocre villain who wasn't worth the wait?

I still remember the mass-denial when the Iron Man 3 plot leaks came out and said The Mandarin wasn't a real person. A lot of people seemed really invested in having The Mandarin appear.

 

[Tor Lugosi]

I'm still surprised at how many people defend that retarded Iron Man 3 twist.

"A-ha! The villain wasn't this interesting and original character! It was actually... a bland businessman / scientist with a grudge against Tony Stark... just like the last two movies! What a twist!"

I feel like Jon would find these memes hilarious. Seems like a guy with a sense of humour.

 

[Alexander Thaut]

i just want the movies to have that comic-bookish feeling, decent production values, and competent directing/writing.

that hasn't been too much to ask outside of captain marvel being shilled, a price i'm willing to pay

It's already been confirmed that he's not going to be comic book accurate, and is instead a "new" character who is a composite of The Mandarin and Fu Manchu.

Then Marvel did the bait-and-switch again with Taskmaster in Black Widow.
