I think he's saying he doesn't like continuity having any long plot threads because that gets people confused and mixing things up. As in the MCU can connect things by going "Hey, remember Captain America? He's a thing" but never build off of some random scene/quote from any of his movies.
I didn't see the picture of his tweets on here.
I love that byline. "Heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are all very different but also very similar." Sounds like the thesis statement in a sixth grade student's essay. I hope Bob wrote that himself.Charming.
Come on now, at least sixth graders can write better thesis statements in their essays than Bob.
I still dread Infinity War because I know it's going to be a magnet for Bob's "intellectualism" because it's the big thing the MCU was building to and the source material. It's bad enough that they are probably going to make it an overstuffed toy commercial of everyone beating up the purple man instead of a Thanos story where the heroes fail miserably and Thanos is his own undoing because his whole gimmick is representing the self defeating nature of nihilism.
Considering their track record with villains, that just makes me ask why Marvel Studios decided on adapting a trilogy of a very villain focused stories. The vast majority of Thanos stories have him as protagonist and pondering over his philosophical musings as he crosses paths with people like the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, or the late Captain Mar-Vell (closest thing he had to a rival). Making him a villain of the week means removing what worked with him over the years.
What could also happen that I'm worried about is that they could reveal Thanos to be just a puppet for another generic villain like Akhenaten or Kang and then kill him and take the Infinity Gauntlet. Or, they might have Thanos be killed for no reason by a random villain that was responsible for all the events of the MCU as a act of revenge on some of the Avengers, like Iron Man or Captain America. I also got a feeling the Heart of the Universe will play a part of the movie or next Avengers with Thanos, if he lives or not because it was featured in "Marvel's The End" where Thanos played a huge part in the story.
about being good.
Plus Bob will likely take shots at the DCEU for how Steppenwolf was handled in Justice League or how the big bad of that universe (Darkseid) didn't even get a cameo appearance. And watch him say how the CGI for Thanos was "superior" to the CGI used for Steppenwolf.
It's not. It's one movie with Avengers 4 being untitled as of now but it's "a very different thing" that serves as "a conclusion for that era".The thing is...I heard the infinity story will be a two film arc. Meaning that they can pull this up with the right amount of dedication. Feige hasn't revealed the title of the 4th avengers film for a reason. If that reason is to serve as continue the infinity arc. Then I can see this film working. Thanos is way too important to fuck up. Kevin Feige knows it. So I have some faith they can pull it up. What I'm not looking forward is Chipman's interpretation to Thanos. Since he'll rope him to any antagonistic political party to sound smart without realizing Thanos is beyond that. But what do I know besides being
So would it be like the Return of the Jedi of that era then?
Remember, Bob watches it to see color characters jump during explosions and tell witty jokes every five seconds.
