My pitch for a New MCU
Not necessarily a post-Secret Wars scenario, or a "what if they had all the rights from the beginning scenario", but somewhere in the middle i guess. I already posted this once more along with a call to make your own (which you should totally do) but I'm reposting it because im getting ready to make a phase two.
The first movie would have to be a Captain America movie. Him and the Howling Commandos work with Namor to bring down Zemo and Red Skull. Bucky dies, Jim Hammond is turned into Toro (renamed from human torch for confusion's sake) and James Howlett confessing to Steve he is a mutant. this movie ends the same as the first avenger, but Steve wakes up surrounded by the Avengers.
Next movie would be the Fantastic Four, now set in modern day, this experienced group is regarded as the world's greatest team of superheroes. Doom is the main villain and invades New York city with an army of Doom bots. Iron Man and the X-Men are mentioned to be helping but never truly shown. Doom is sent to prison 42 in the Negative Zone and a Doom bot is taken for experimentation. this Doom Bot will (in another i am not fully fleshing out) may become a body for Ultron or maybe the main body of Ultron
Next is Hulk. This movie adapts Hulk Gray, though Hulk isnt actually gray in this film.
After that, Iron Man, regarded as the world's greatest individual hero, greater and more experienced than the Fantastic Four. This film will adapt Armors Wars, with Madam Masque being the main villain.
Now the first show, which will be the new standard 26 episodes long. X-Men. X-Men is a show because there is just so much i need to cover. Classic, first five lineup to start with. The X-Men will fight Magneto and his Brotherhood, as well as Sentinels and a three episode arc about the Changeling. Halfway through the season, Polaris and Havoc join the team and everyone gets new suits (which are the suits more associated with their time as X-Factor). By the end, the X-Men are captured by Krakoa and Cyclops is the only on to make it out.
Then, Ant-Man. This movie will adapt Tales to Astonish #27 and #35. Hank Pym experiments his new "Pym Particle" on himself and is stuck on the ground but ends up being saved by Ants. Then, his formula is stolen by Elihas Starr, AKA the Egghead. Hank ends up stealing it back. In the end, he begins work on a suit for his love interest throughout the movie, Janet Van Dyne.
The Mighty Thor is last before the Avengers. Not much to say about this one. Loki is the villain with his co conspirators Enchantress and the Executioner. Takes place entirely on Asgard. Thor wins and Loki is sent to the Isle of Silence, while Enchantress and Executioner are banished to Earth.
Avengers: Assemble. Namor is the main villain. At first, Hulk is on Namor's side in his distain for humanity, but Bruce and the heroism of the humans fighting him sways Hulk the other direction. After Cap is unfrozen from the ice he ends up convincing Namor humanity is good and he returns to Atlantis.
An epilogue of sorts, Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man will be the second show and final project of this phase 1. An origin isnt explicitly shown, but Parker is in highschool and is very early into his career. Some of the villains are Scorpion, Rhino, Electro, Vulture, and the final and main villain is the Spider-Slayer robots, funded by JJJ.
