Well, there will always be doubtfuls about the all-new all different marvel, and besides obvious stuff(WOLVERINE IS DEAD! FOREVER! Oh wait, he’s alive again), who knows?
People like to say it won’t last, but honestly, after doing some comics research, Jason Todd/Captain America/Bucky were “gone” for a long time.
And with the MCU’s main actors wanting to move on from their contracts, All-New All Different Marvel very well could become what we see on the Big Screen. I have no doubt Marvel did secret wars/All-new all different to A) Give us reasons for seeing new actors on the big screen.
If you haven’t seen what marvel has done with all-new all different marvel, check it out. It’s pretty wild and interesting changes(at least from someone who only casually peruses comics: Avengers(with Deadpool), the ultimates(really powerful marvel characters going Cosmic), A-force for sheer badass-ness, hawkeye(well this isn’t that all new or all different but excellent series), black panther b/c black panther, Daredevil taking on Gambit as an apprentice, Deadpool dealing with being the most popular character in the marvel universe, A guardians lineup with venom/thing/Kitty Pride(Star-Lady?), Howard the Duck(First Issue was good), heard good things about devil dino, hellcat(heard good things), Silk(heard first issue wasn’t great, but the character concept is interesting), spider-gwen, spidey(first issue was fun!), uncanny x-men(think the brotherhood of mutants as X-men), x-men 92(I guess since marvel can’t really do x-men proper, this is their compromise?)
Personally, I think Miles/Killer Kam are the ones with enough cultural gravitas to stay if everything else reverts.
PS: Alot of characters got badass redesigns too. Spider-gwen one of the sickest looking super heroes outcheya!
(I see. I guess I’ll keep it in mind even though I constantly remind people that I haven’t actually read American superhero comic books with any regularity since 2006. Of the ones you’ve mentioned, I’ve heard Hawkeye was good because of Fraction (or whomever writes it), but that was before the “reboot”. Aside from that, I randomly saw a review of the Devil Dinosaur thing, where the person reviewing said it was okay, but could be better because it meandered and repeated itself too much, meaning it would be horrible in trade form even though they’re obviously trying to decompress it.)
Also for the record as something I’ve said a lot recently. I’ve actually seen relatively few of the MCU movies: Iron Man, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: The First Avenger and Guardians of the Galaxy are the only ones I’ve seen in full and that was the order I saw them. Thor: the Dark World was something I half-watched just because it was on TV (in the background) and I’ve seen absolutely nothing from any of the other movies since I just haven’t really been all that interested. I intend on watching Captain America: Civil War on opening weekend at this point, so maybe I’ll catch up, but outside of maybe Ant-man, all of the other movies are rather intertwined, so I’d basically have to start with Thor (or Iron Man 2) to “catch-up” anyway.
I mean, I wouldn’t say you have to see them in order but it helps. For Civil war you prob just need winter soldier, throw in age of ultron if you’re feeling gamey.
nah ant man is bleh, it’s the most “average” movie of the MCU. I find it fitting - it tries to be Iron man too hard, much like Marvel tried too hard to make Hank Pym a premier Avenger.
and on top of it all, it commits the cardinal sin of the answer being ‘no’ to: “if this movie never happened, would I be missing anything?”
I’m not some super comic nut or anything by any means, but calling a blond chick character that is pretty much never going to actually go blue and look like Mystique, who’ll most likely just be referred to as Raven, “Mystique” just feels…well, wrong to me.
(Hmmm…now there’s a potentially interest debate: What has been the worst comic book related movie?)
Obviously Steel is a contender, but so are at least two of the fourFantastic Four movies, Wolverine: Origins, Catwoman, Howard the Duck, and arguably some other things like Green Lantern and Ghost Rider.
Thinking on this, I’m not sure where that Johan Hex movie stands. Did anyone even watch that?
IMO Batman and Robin is the worst comic book movie and worst movie I’ve ever seen . (Mortal Kombat Annihilation is a close second IMO)
Anyway to keep this semi-relevant.
Fox is making a presentation for this at Cinemacon tomorrow . There are rumors that a third trailer for XMA will debut there or online soon.
Wolverine Origins was at least the catalyst to get Reynolds in the driver’s seat and produce Deadpool. So if I were a time traveler, I’d let that movie still happen. The rest are pretty bleh.
