Marvel Cinematic Universe

[Nick Obre]

Continue to try and find ways to hobble your protagonists which you can only do so long before it's obvious the xenomorph is just winning through the humans behaving like the Three Stooges.

I'm still laughing at Covenant, with the woman slipping on the blood and somehow causing the whole thing to explode

I saw Fantastic Four-branded Snapple at 7/11 the other day, with Pedro Pascal looking especially short and gay on the label. I wasn’t going to buy it anyway, but his ugly mug (and repellent politics) made sure I wouldn’t. He’s not credible as an action hero whatsoever.

The massive decline in licensed merch for these movies is a bad sign for capeshit. I remember in the 2000s and 2010s when you couldn’t escape the wave of branded crap ahead of a capeshit release.

Whenever there are these crossover events with other IPs, more often than not, they realistically shouldnt stand a chance against DC and Marvel's cast of characters, another example is that Godzilla crossover with DC, we all know that the Big G would get "realistically" annihilated so they had to find cheats and/or just go with a shrug and say "it just is". Its literally a litmus test on if you read these comics for the pretty pictures or the plot and character consistency, a literal test to see if you are a mindless consumer.

They did a recent Fantastic Four pandering story where they face off against 1980s horror movie characters.

Most superheroes aren't going to make a difference in these scenarios. Captain Atom can nuke a nest but then so could the US govt. The issue is that the nest is in New York city and the whole area is a complete mix of civillians and xenomorphs. Captain Marvel can fly around and punch them but that's not really different to soldiers flying around in helicopters and shooting them. So heroes don't actually make that much difference either way. Until you come to ones who can do the utterly weird stuff, like alter reality or come up with some weird nanotech cure for impregnation or say "yawa og shpromoneX" whilst wearing fishnets and a top hat.

They still doing the Marvel Zombies slop.

Even though in some spinoff Phoenix and Wolverine story, Onslaught powered by Phoenix was planning to erase them all and can do it easily as well.

In a world with Dr Doom, Reed, Magneto, Professor X, Black Bolt and etc exist, I find it hard that a conjuctive effort, temporary truces included, wouldnt be made to contain this threat and create a strategy with the power houses, especially those with powerful healing factors.

Just drop The Hulk, Wolverine and Deadpool into a contained infested city, providing them with all the weapons they need, and the whole place will be cleaned up in 3 days at most. Probably lesser if they got the aid of magic users and expert marksmen from a safe distance up on the air (people forget that outside of a specific type of xenos, they cant fly)

I hate settings that just settled on the "they just did" explanation and it happens more times than you'd think in these type of stories.

"Yeah, you got it, we wouldnt want anyone infiltrating our hobbies and infecting with their politics now, would we? They could use the characters as mouth pieces for their own politics and retcon lore to suit their ideological preferences and ostricize the fans that have been there from the start

That'd be terrible."

Amazing how the people behind these movies just cannot shut the fuck up and/or stop acting like degenerate retards.

They cant because most actors are either damaged goods or and are narcissistic theater kids and Hollywood is the correct type of cesspool to motivate that type of behavior.

Its a Neverland of sorts, especially when you hit it big. You cease needing to grow up and you act mentally stunted.

Nvm that the fact that Im sure having people already with a loose footing on reality having to constantly make believe as people they arent wouldnt help on their mental health.

The worst thing that happened to Hollywood is social media because it allowed for most normies to see who actors really are.

How did this get past the censor.

Well there it is in black and white - even his supporters saying Pedro Pascal is keeping audiences away.

You picked three heroes that I feel simply illustrate my point. Hulk leaps into a nest in New York City (pop. 20m). Lets say he smashes the nest. A couple of hundred xenomorphs go fleeing in every which direction. He chases some down but the vast majority through stealth, speed and just Hulk not being able to run in 70 different directions at once, gets away. Every one of which will either re-congregate with its fellows that it can find or begin an ovomorphing process by itself once again. Where you had one nest, now you have six. And it really depends on the version of Hulk. An earlier version who will actually be hurt by acid that can burn through steel, or some arbitrary unstoppable planet-breaking immortal. Either way though, he's not suited to destroying xenomorphs in the runaway breeding scenario. A hundred soldiers with high-powered rifles and night vision are more effective than one hulk. Nor, honestly, does adding him to the the hundred soldiers really help that much. An anti-tank missile can kill the queen as well as the Hulk can. Wolverine? Good as a tracker. An asset. Game changer? Not once we're in the runaway breeding scenario. Also, hilarious if he got impregnated - xenomorphs don't lay eggs exactly, they incorporate the DNA of their host - hence the quadrupedal xenomorph in Alien 3 and other animal variants in expanded media. Now you have a regenerating, mutant xenomorph! Deadpool? You're still not getting it. It's not whether or not he can survive a xenomorph attack, it's whether his damage output can exceed their reproductive rate. It can't. He's also worse than a squad of soldiers for this purpose.

What makes a difference is the more off the wall powers. Dr. Strange can magic them away, Doom or Richards can work out an inoculation that interferes with impregnation, Wanda can shout "No More Aliens" (and inadvertently kill Reed and Sue's adopted kids). But regular powers? They're not better than what humanity can already do. Often worse.

Inter-company and IP crossover talk gives me flashbacks to that season I had a job at a comic shop years ago, for about a year and change. Now, this wasn't some hole-in-the-wall slum shop, nor some place so crammed with merchandise a person could barely move around, it had a fairly normal clientele. But you had a few "characters" attracted to such places, and once I had to intervene when an argument between a scrawny teenager and a man in his thirties who looked like an adult-sized toddler, that is to say adult sized but with toddler like proportions went from heated, to loud, to shouting in each others faces. It looked like it might get physical in a sad way, and it was disruptive, so I went over to tell them to knock it off. They were "debating" who would win in a fight between Spiderman and Batman, citing previous Marvel/DC crossovers, Marvel and DC "encyclopedias", and probably stuff they just read off the net. At the moment I reached them to tell them to knock it off the doughy man yelled at the kid something like: "That's not REAL! Those books DON'T COUNT! Their universes are SEPARATE! BATMAN AND SPIDER-MAN COULD NEVER MEET!"

And just like that gatekeeping is no longer frowned upon.

This is like the Internet, except on the Internet there's nobody to come over and bring it to an end.

Spider-Man would win

I want to believe if this happened today, there'd be some weeb in the corner that would just shout "Will you two fags shut the fuck up! I'm trying to read my manga over here!"

 

[The Nothingness]

What a shock. All the shills are giving positive reviews for Ironheart.

 

[MrJokerRager]

In the very first Spiderman comic.

He basically made The Thing into his bitch.

Forget the Hulk, he basically tosses him around.

"Pascal's slow trajectory to becoming a household name..."

Like chlamydia. It's everywhere, really difficult to get rid of and at best an irritation, at worst insufferable.

 

[Prophetic Spirit]

Well, at least nobody cares in Chile about him.
Sadly for you, chumps.

 

[crunchy bits are the best]

".....a household name...."



Pedro's not going to be one even in a hundred years.

 

[Ultraman Orb Dark]

BATMAN AND SPIDER-MAN COULD NEVER MEET

I feel like if they did, they'd bond over their love of gadgets.

"These web-shooters are fascinating. You first built these in high school?"

"Oh, these are nothing compared to all of your wonderful toys."

What a shock. All the shills are giving positive reviews for Ironheart.

Marvel probably spent more money bribing them than they did on the actual show.

Since when was Pascal even close to a household name?

 

[MrJokerRager]

The only memorable part of the FF4 is the Thing and how big can Susan's tits be.

Since when was Pascal even close to a household name?

Probably in high school Chemistry or Physics class.

Final F4 trailer

 

[StevieLasVegas]

Well my interest in seeing the film was already low, but now it's safe to say I definitely won't be seeing it

Literally doing the 'say the line' 'noo, I'm not gonna say it' and 'it's from the cartoon!'. wtf, meta humor in this? Think doesn't look even pirate watch level.
