If they wanted to set up a plotline for Thanos being the primary antagonist for an Avengers sequel then this would probably be one of the best ways to do so. Not only would it allow for settings outside of the Earth in the Marvel universe to be used (for example Asgard since Odin has the Infinity Gauntlet) but it would also allow for the establishment of other future films (like how this sets up Hawkeye as part of the Marvel film universe, giving him opportunity for his own film explaining his backstory), for example this could set up a Deadpool movie due to his rivalry with Thanos over Death’s affection leading to him being cursed with immortality (unless fox has the rights to the character in which case damnit ).
I’m 98% sure Fox has Deadpool for as long as they have X-Men.
DAMNIT! Not FOX again! Not after what they did to him in Origins! He got very upset when he saw that movie…
[details=Spoiler]
yeah, Fox owns the Deadpool rights, and to make matters worse, are making the Deadpool movie as we speak.
And the Deadpool/Death thing was never that big of a deal. And Thanos was cursed to never be allowed into Death’s realm, after he fucked her over with the Silver Surfer, not Deadpool:
Spoiler
He beats Surfer within an inch of his life, then delivers him to Death, to either snuff him out or make him more powerful. Then when Death doesn’t directly talk to him, he flips out, calls her names, and gets IP banned from the afterlife. He then revives the Surfer and leaves, still banned from the Afterlife, which is actually to his benefit.
Thanos doesn’t need to be around Deadpool in a movie. Thanos needs to be exactly who he is:
the bad guy who tried to conquer the universe on multiple occasions, AND SUCCEEDED EVERY FUCKING TIME. Thats what made him such a badass villain. He would come up with this crazy plan, then it WORKED…then he just kinda got bored with being king shit, and would make an error (hint hint Gods dont make errors), and give it all up.
based on what i read they are retconning everything that happened in that movie lol.
Looool I love that issue. I’m gonna be running around yelling I’ve been besmirched all day now thanks.
what issue is that?
and yes, Fox is taking the Deadpool criticism nicely. I guess when you get ripped up by the actual character himself, in an issue of his very own comic, you should fucking pay attention. So the Deadpool movie will feature the Merc with a Mouth, and done properly
I heard they’re sort of keeping things from the Wolverine movie but the Deadpool character pretty much mocks what happened to him at the end of the movie.
Like i guess Marvel not having certain characters works for them because they can use lesser known characters. Plus i heard Marvel got the Punisher rights awhile back.
No, it doesnt work out for them. It does, in the sense that other companies are taking the risk with their properites so its not exactly their money they’re losing.
However, look at what happened with Fantastic Four and X-Men. Fox didn’t give a shit, and you have Fox bosses making decisions like Mini Thing and Galactus Cloud. Oh, and why hasn’t Fox put Sentinels in the X-Men movies (not including that brief scene)? Because the Chairman and CEO of Fox Film (Tom Rothman) thought that giant robots are silly. So yeah, fuck probably one of the MOST IMPORTANT VILLAINS IN THE HISTORY OF X-MEN. We got PMS Jean Grey instead, and a random Juggernaut who isn’t related to Charles Xavier for some reason that gets defeated by a wall.
Marvel, even owned by the DisnEyVIL, needs to get their IPs back. Sure, some will fail, and some will need to be rebooted from time to time. But DC has been doing that with mixed success for AGES with some of their stuff. Can anybody possibly fuck up worse than the HORRIBLE Wonder Woman pilot?
I’ve read lots of things about them trying to get a Doctor Strange, or Heroes for Hire movie made for dirt cheap. How the fuck are you owned by Disney, yet Disney can’t toss $20 million for mildly popular (and at least somewhat well known) Marvel characters to have a movie? Considering how well the others do?
I’m sorry, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that after FF, Spidey, X-Men, Thor, and IM, all cleaned house on opening day (regardless of how good they actually each were), you can at least AFFORD to keep your shit in house, and take a chance now and again?
They’re owned by the Diz…the same people who bankrolled such stellar classics as The Princess And The Frog, and Treasure Planet. These are the same people who make a sequel to EVERY FUCKING THING THEY MAKE. Then make more sequels. Then make them into animated cartoons on their network. Gimme a fucking break, you don’t see Warner and DC handing out their big name guys to Fox for DECADES.
I can get behind this movie (Unlike Amazing Spider-Man, jesus christ) but I’m still not liking the actor choice for Hawkeye and I’m still swallowing the fact that Human Torch is Captain America. lol
The chick who plays Black Widow seems “too cute,” imo, but fuck it. Dat eye candy.
yeah my bad, my optimism got the best of me but yeah i’m surprised Marvel hasn’t powerplayed on they’re IP’s. I haven’t heard a whisper about the Daredevil movie, so there’s one right there that they can get back. X-men and spiderman are gonna take awhile to get back. I think marvel can get fantastic four back.
Daredevil being done properly by Kevin Smith would be epic. I dunno if he could handle a movie like that though, but he’s done action before, sooooo…They did want the man to do Superman, but those same fuckheads replaced him with Tim Burton and that unforgivable nightmare he came up with:
why Supes why???
would love marvel long time if they can get Daredevil back.
Deadpool #10, I believe, in the Way run. I’m pretty sure it’s during the Dark Reign stuff against Bullseye.
dont forget the giant spider
man watching it out of context, it’s…kinda shitty
get @ me broes
i also wanna say fuck skinny deadpool, ed mcg bulky deadpool 4 lyfe
lies. ive never seen the movie and i started laughing my ass off at that clip.
GO WATCH IT NOW. its much better in context, and mags does some serious fly/unfly hypergrav
… i hear its good but then again havok is cyclop’s father…sumtin about that just bothers the fuck outta me.
I can’t say fuck Ed McG’s Pool because thats where I got hooked, but I’m not a fan of his over-muscled EVERYTHING. I like the newer Paco Medina or Carlo Barberi versions of Deadpool better.
If you disregard the bullshit they did with the class and watch it for Xavier and Mags it is really enjoyable. Just gotta know ahead of time they are going to fuck up everything outside of those two.
