What are your thoughts on that? Many say she had every right to crash out because of what happened to her. But is that true?
I like Wanda but I‘m also pretty strong on morals. You can’t just hold people against their will and force them to do what you want just because you had bad things happen to you.

Infinity War takes the win for Thor’s best character usage.

Ragnarok came REALLY close. Some preferred Ragnarok for completely reinventing Thor’s personality and making him more layered, while others felt Infinity War perfectly balanced his power, grief, rage and determination after losing basically everything.

Now we move into a new category:

Most Noble Act Black Widow

Some moments I included in the collage:

- Risking her life during the Loki interrogation in Avengers to get information and help save the team

- Exposing HYDRA/SHIELD secrets publicly in Winter Soldier even though it also meant revealing parts of her own past to the world

- Sacrificing herself on Vormir in Endgame so the Avengers could bring everyone back

- Trying to save Yelena during the Red Room collapse in Black Widow

But as always, you do NOT have to pick from the collage only. Any moment from any MCU project counts.

What do you think was Natasha Romanoff’s most noble act in the MCU?

THIS IS NOT A REFERENCE TO ANY CURRENT SHOWS! THIS IS AN INDEPENDENT POST UNRELATED TO ANY AMAZON PRIME ORIGINAL TV SERIES THAT RECENTLY RELEASED ITS FINALE!

Me personally, I’m so glad that there’s finally a deeper variety of tones, I think it’s been sorely needed in the MCU. My only nitpicks are I wish there were more R rated movies and the choices for more mature projects have been just a little 🤏 safe. Deadpool and the Netflix world of characters were already mature so they kinda had to let them be mature or people would have rioted. I’d love an R rated Winter Soldier or Ghost Rider movie, or even if they could finally make that Blade movie. Something that would show their commitment to allowing for more mature projects beyond just keeping previously established mature characters.

I’m actually curious, what are all of your thoughts on if you think the Defenders would be in Secret Wars and the future, as well as what role they would play? I think it would be fun to map out each character and their likelihood to determine who will appear and to what capacity. This’ll most likely be a lengthy text since I’m bored and got nothing to do so feel free to skip this, but if you’re interested go ahead and read it.

Punisher: I probably have the most to say about Punisher. I think he is one of the most likely heroes of the TV street level characters to appear in Secret Wars. Looks like the all the main cast members (who are heroes/super powered) will be returning in some capacity for Secret Wars. Obviously Peter Parker and Hulk are a given but surprisingly Sadie Sink was confirmed, another reason why her likelihood of being Jean Grey got bumped up big time. But what about Punisher? I did see someone talk about a report that Punisher would appear in Secret Wars but it was just a Reddit thread talking about the report. Although even though there’s nothing concrete he is the only missing member of the BND cast yet to be announced for SW and he’s the first TV street level heroes to hit the movies with what seems to be a significant role (excluding daredevil because he was a 1 minute cameo.) maybe he’d be teaming up with Jean Grey or Spidey on Battle World? That’d be cool to see him fight some monsters and aliens and the rating would mean he doesn’t have to hold back regarding blood and stuff. (Apparently it’s only rated R if it’s humans being taken out graphically but that’s just what I’ve heard online.) plus he’d be on Battle World so we don’t gotta commit to him being grounded for a first, which is neat.

Daredevil: I think Daredevil is the second likeliest hero. I think if he appears in BND, even as a cameo, he’d have a big enough boost that they’d include him in Secret Wars, same with the Punisher. Daredevil season 3 will very likely finish filming before Secret Wars starts filming and even if it doesn’t, SW will be shooting for quite a bit so they can add him in later in filming. He’d probably be in the more “outskirts” areas of Battle World, maybe teamed up with his fellow Defenders and some random heroes to overthrow Doom? I don’t recall him in the 2015 run so that’s just me guessing. Ooo what if he leads the hand and we get a small shadowland adaption. OR A DEFENDERS SHOW DURING BATTLE WORLD WHERE THEY FIGHT HAND DAREDEVIL. Yo lowkey that sounds awesome!!!

The Defenders (excluding DD): this is where it gets kinda tricky for me, on one hand I like Jessica, Luke, and Danny but I can totally see them being left out. Which is a shame because at the time, my only gripe with Endgame is that the Netflix shows weren’t included in the big marvel finale of the time, not even a cameo. They could definitely have minor roles or show up for some crazy final battle and that’d be enough for me. I think Secret Wars should bring in whoever they can so none of the great heroes get left out of the finale, even if it’s a cameo. If they can put Elektra in a Deadpool multiverse movie they can put Iron Fist in an Avengers movie, even for a few minutes.

This section includes Born Again Season 3 spoilers:

Another thing I’m curious on is this. It seems clear Marvel is really starting to push for the Defenders with their return incoming, but are they gonna stay for the long run? Secret Wars seems to be the point of reset for the MCU (if I’m understanding that right). So will the Defenders make the exclusive cut post Secret Wars? We know characters like Spider-Man, the fantastic four, Deadpool and maybe even Thor are most likely to stay in the MCU with their current actors, so maybe the Defenders too? I hope marvel wouldn’t give us a singular Defenders return in season 3 then reset them a year later, this feels like a perfect return for them going into the third saga, although they’d be getting a lot older since most of them have been doing this since 2015-16. People like Charlie and Finn made it clear they want to stick around so maybe the Defenders history will stay the same with a few minor tweaks? Hard to say since I don’t fully grasp the concept of the reset. So some history stays like Peter Parker’s but someone like Morgan Stark could just never have existed in the new timeline?

Anyway, I just hope they keep the Defenders around after Secret Wars and they get a proper storyline that weaves them into the main conflict. I’ve heard people say born again season 3 is the last season and after that those characters could go to the big screen, which honestly if not right, sounds pretty cool I won’t lie. I’d definitely like them to have a bigger role in the next saga since they weren’t even acknowledged in the Infinity Saga films and they barely appear in the Multiverse Saga films (2-4 possible appearances, all of which could be cameos except for Punisher in BND). Maybe they can own the TV side of things and be the only shows needed to keep up with (not to understand the movies just the full stories leading to whatever the next big crossover thing is) because it seems the mutants and FF might be owning the big screen for the next decade. Although by the time they make any new shows there will be over 10 seasons of television new and old to catch up with so unless we want a third daredevil show, I’d like to see what they’d do for a movie. Also after One Last Kill, there’s been rumors marvel might make a new Punisher project, and for all we know, maybe instead of a show it’s a movie? I like the Defenders owning the TV side of things but I also want a Punisher film starring Jon, or a Daredevil film with a good budget with Charlie actually doing stunts without them getting cut out the final product, that’d be so sick. Even a Defenders movie would be hype for me.

Sorry for the long text but I did warn all of you lol. Feel free to have discussions with each other on what you think the future holds for these heroes, I hope all possible discussions stay civil, the amount of rude people who are condescending and mean to others because of their ideas surprise me. Maybe some will come true maybe some won’t, non of us know, this is just for fun, and fully optional.

I accidentally found my Avengers: Infinity War card collection last night. And not just one pack — I found two packs lol. Each pack contains 25 cards: 20 Avengers cards, 4 Infinity Stones, and 1 Infinity Gauntlet card.

They’re from 2018 and not for sale btw. They actually came free with Horlicks. It’s been 8 years already, and when I found them yesterday, I felt really nostalgic and emotional. It reminded me of the days when me and the boys used to play with them every single day. Man, the memories…

Now none of us are together anymore. Everybody’s busy with work or life somewhere else.

Btw, can you guess how much they’d be worth if I sold them?

I was randomly thinking about this earlier 😭
If Zendaya never got cast as MJ in the MCU, who do y’all think she would’ve been PERFECT for instead?
Not even necessarily who LOOKS the most comic accurate — I mean what role actually fits her vibe, acting style, screen presence, etc.
I honestly feel like she could’ve pulled off a surprising amount of Marvel characters depending on the direction
Curious what everybody else thinks though because I feel like there are some unexpected answers people could come up with 👀
Who would y’all cast her as?

In the post-credits scene of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Wong explained that he felt the rings' energy in Kamar-Taj when Shang-Chi used them for the first time. He then showed them an image of the rings sending out a message to an unknown recipient. Wong told the group that whatever they were, it was nothing that had yet been documented in the Codex.

Could this plotline be part of Kang's arc, or will it still be important in Doomsday?

[supprimé]

Iron Man (2008) takes the win for Tony Stark’s best character usage.

A lot of movies got support Avengers, Civil War, Infinity War, even Iron Man 3 but most people agreed nothing beats seeing Tony’s full transformation from arrogant weapons manufacturer to someone willing to become better.

The cave scenes, the “I am Iron Man” ending, the humanity, the charisma, the flaws… it’s still one of the strongest character introductions in the entire MCU.

Next up: Thor.

Which Movie Used Thor The Best?

Which movie or project handled Thor the best overall?

Could be because of:

- character development

- emotional depth

- power progression

- comedy/drama balance

- leadership

- grief and loss

- or overall contribution to the story
