Is this where I post that meme about shutting up and taking my money?

 

[kcirdor]

why didn't the russo brothers write the backstory?

 

[Merl]

Well, here's an interesting rumor. I'd watch it for sure.

Would love this (really hope Haley Atwell is in it) but too bad it will likely take 2-3 years before it airs.

I would like to know how returning the Soul Stone happened.

Steve just played a game of keep away from Red Skull until the mountain just took it back

This show isn't happening. Just more made up internet silliness. And even if it were slated at some point (it wasn't), Marvel just blew up their Disney Plus TV slate and mothballed a bunch of projects a few weeks back.

I wish I had some confidence that Disney won't defecate all over Robert's efforts.

Who even are the Avengers now?

While I don't recall that being revealed, I think we have an idea who they might end up being. Captain America (Sam), Captain Marvel, Thor (maybe?), and Hulk (Banner). Black Widow was really the leader of the team and I have a feeling she's gonna be back somehow. I'm sure Hawkeye will at least make an appearance. Also not sure where they'll fit but Antman and Wasp and Spider-Man are also others to consider.

Idk where the Thunderbolts and FF4 fit in but seems like they'll connect with the Avengers at some point.

I imagine they'll start dropping hints in the credits after the Tbolts and FF4 movies.

I'm actually somewhat optimistic that if Feige and Co get their ducks in a row in setting the stage for Doomsday, they can pull off a great one.

They literally have one movie (Fantastic Four) to set up Doomsday. Thunderbolts apparently does nothing to do it. And from what we know about FF, that isn't the main concern of the movie, either.

They're going into two Avengers movies with no build at all. The entire selling point of this is RDJ being back.

I will admit the leaked concept set from this week of Doosmday was intriguing. We'll see.

 

[Optimus Prime]

why didn't the russo brothers write the backstory?

We don't know that they didn't

It may have been a 2 page backstory and I've read that some actors damn near come up with a complete biography for their character on their own

Where did they grow up? Were they an only child? the oldest of 3 boys? The youngest of 6 girls? Favorite movies? Hobbies? How did they meet the other characters in the movie? Met recently or been friends/colleagues for years?

None of that may be remotely relevant or mentioned in the movie, but to the actor each scenario means the part is played differently

Maybe there is something to that, maybe not but I thought it was interesting

I can see RDJ being one who likes/needs to do a deep dive in the characters he plays

So this sounds not so good. Not sure if there's any credibility to it, but every time I hear "sacred timeline" I lose more interest in the MCU.

Elyse – Shoalsandsuch: Hi Alex. Any ideas on what Doom’s plans/motivations are in Doomsday?

Alex Perez: Doom wants to stop the incursions from happening and stop the multiverse from entirely collapsing on itself. In a way, he’s technically a hero (in his eyes and the eyes of his followers), kind of like how Thanos saw himself as the hero in Infinity War. I think people will have a better time processing this movie if they stopped thinking of Doom as the ultimate villain meant to swap out Kang at the last minute, and more as the antagonist who thinks he is the hero, and is pissed at He Who Remains for essentially “silencing” his universe as well as every other universe/timeline that didn’t correspond to the Sacred Timeline, and wants nothing more than to “take the reins of his timeline and win his freedom”.

Take Perez with a grain of salt. He's another one of those guys what has been shotgun blasting "scoops" long after Marvel had clearly plugged most of their leaks.

The MCU leaker hit rate the past few years has been really, really bad.

Hell, the biggest MCU leak in recent memory was literally one of their concept artist just posting a bunch of concept art for Doomsday out of nowhere and none of the leakers had been talking about any of the stuff that art showed.
