Marvel Cinematic Universe Discussion Thread

Not sure about Wonder man, but Vision is basically a sentient AI construct in an android/robot body that gains free will from it's AI creator and learns to value life instead of destroying it as its creator instructs. That's kind of easy to extrapolate that into a realistic version on the cinematic screen.

I meant, an android with this color palette and that can turn intangible, what were they smoking?

Although that doesn't mean it's impossible without some modifications.

It was the '60s (I think - maybe the '70s) - 'nuff said.

avengers only one I liked

APOCALYPSE IS NIGH

at least wait for days of the future past to flop arrive

I only watched Iron Man movies. Liked first two very much, but not the third one. It likely was my fault for expecting an actual adaptation of Extremis arc from the comic. Also got annoyed when it referenced events in Avengers or whatever it was because I haven't seen it.

I don't really follow Iron Man, so the adaptation didn't really bother me (though I found the Mandarin plotline an intriguing one). As to the Avengers reference . . . Well, get used to it. Marvel's designing all their adaptations to work in conjunction now. We've entered Phase II, as they call it.

[Huitante]

I used to follow Iron Man for a while until it got ridiculous and found the Extremis arc very enjoyable. To think of it, a straight up adaptation of said arc wouldn't fit as a follow-up to first two movies, but the way they threw it's elements into the 3rd movie felt too wonky for me. I don't mind their reimagining of Mandarin though, it was indeed pretty fun.

How many interdependent movies they already got? It all started with Avengers, didn't it?

[Kieran]

Truth be known, they started tying things together in Iron Man 2, as a build-up to the Avengers movie. Since then, they've done Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, and are working on Guardians of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Avengers 2 will tie off Phase 2, and Phase 3 includes things like Black Panther and Ant-Man (which is the dumbest possible idea they've had, in my opinion).

And I believe they did "Extremis" as a motion comic - so you might be able to pick that up.

[Huitante]

That's a lot. I'll think about checking out Avengers or Thor.

Yeah, I heard about that one and even watched some parts of it. Not the whole thing though.

[Epiren]

I apologize if this is in the wrong thread, but whatever. Don't know who's been following it, but it's supposedly coming Aug. 2014? Don't recall the date perfectly, so I apologize in advance.

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team — the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits — Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand — with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

No, this would pretty much be the thread - and it's the first I've seen about it, so thanks.

. . . And August? Really? Well, rats.

(And how is it that Zoe Saldana always gets herself turned into an alien in non-Star Trek films, and always looks so hot doing so?)

[Mattias]

Huh, I thought it was June. All I know about it is that Karen Gillan is going to be a space pirate.

[Laith]

Karen Gillan is going to be a space pirate.

Well, that's a must see now.

[Sherrinford]

Empire's 25 Days of Future Pasts covers.

So, uh, Michio Kaku comes from the even further future? It would explain things.

[Elf]

Why the hell is there a Rouge cover? Apparently she was edited out of the movie for time.

[Vigilantia]

FTFY

[Kieran]

FTFY

Over the years, I've concluded that either Elf is partially dyslexic, or like me - she gets so excited and rushed that her fingers move before she really processes what she's typing.

As for the cover - the "Days of Future Past" cover has been done, re-done, and imitated at least a dozen times over the years.

Not bad.
