Have you seen the trailer for Disney + Original Hawkeye?
I find it really great. It is themed around Christmas and I am hoping Black Widow's end credits scene tie into this. I believe Florence Pugh will make some sort of appearance in it.
I am eager to watch this, as right now I am not really pulled by "What If..?"
I've been silent on the discussions regarding What If since I had a weird feeling while watching it. Believe I've finely figured out what that feeling is which is there's no stakes; it doesn't matter what happens in each episode since it's not gonna affect the MCU as a whole.
I get that but some of these What If.. episodes are to possibilities straight out of left field that no one was ever really wondering. I never once had a thought of What If Dr. Strange lost his heart instead of his hands. Like, give me a What If... the other half was snapped away instead or What If ... Hawkeye was the one who sacrificed himself...
Now granted some are interesting like What If the Avengers died and never assembled.
But, for what it is, I think the story telling and plot is intricate and great. It takes us on quite a trip.
It's Ultron, notice the little curves on the side of the helmet? And it opens to showcase Vision, whom Ultron originally wanted to be his new body. Without Thor around he must have succeededThe next two episodes are going to tie stuff together, so they'll probably feel like Marvel mini-events.
That's still up to debate though. A lot of people are theorizing that these animated universes are just animated for the sake of having essentially chunk-sized movies without all the costs of producing the actors on screen, production costs, sets, etc - and that since the multiverse is now a thing, characters like Dr.Armani and even the Zombie's could potentially cross into the main MCU.
It's the entire idea that counts. What If the other half was snapped in my eyes is common thing to think off. But this show is about how the smallest things can have a large ripple effect. Stuff like Sharon Carter staying in the room instead of leaving suddenly changed so much.
The DoctorStrange one literally led to the crumbling of an entire universe. It's by far the most impressive twist in my eyes.
Anybody want to take a guess as to what those invaders are at the end of the latest episode? At first I thought it was Ultron, but that would make no sense considering the timeline.
Then I started thinking, since the plot of the Thor-narrative was changed - it might be that these are from that bubble of characters. So what if these are Malekith and the Dark Elves?
The episode I thought would be the most boring turned out to be the most fun.
Darcy marrying Howard the Duck lol Love that the Duck is actually getting some love in these, hopefully he and Cosmo get something other than cameos in the main MCU at some point.
Loki and Thor being friends was quite lovely
Surtur being at the party was just bizarre...
Jeff Goldblum!
Captain Marvel(The worst hero ever) as the main antagonist, awesome!
Crossbones and Coulson!
And everyone banding together to help Thor fool his mother was pretty sweet

Yeah unless they do Knull it's kinda hard to see where they go from there. Unless Far from Home switches things up for Eddie and places him there, I'm not exactly eager to go see a Venom film centered around Toxin lmaoSo.. I got to see Venom2 yesterday. I think it wasn't as strong as I hoped it would be. 7/10.

It sure was amazing, once it was on Disney Plus I dropped everything to watch it again. I love it, always been a fan of kung fu movies and a sucker for the good guys and bad guys working together to beat a greater evil!So I just watched Shang Chi and loved it!!!! Seriously the fights were amazing and everything I wanted from the Black Widow fights . Also I loved all the powerful women in this movie kicking ass, the sister and the aunt killed it!!!
The only thing I didn't get was the beacon. Maybe someone with more comic book knowledge can explain it to me lol.

Man that trailer was amazing!
I really like how the theme is "These guys died fighting Spider-Man" and MCU Peter is doing the classic "Nobody dies!"
Doc Ock with Stark tech arms is awesome, I'm guessing they did that to 'fix' him?
I really hope Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man gets to save 'MJ' from falling.
Also you can see Lizard getting punched but nothing's there, they clearly edited out Tobey and Garfield lol

And yeah the women were great, it wasn't distracting like that 'all female heroes' cringe moment in Endgame(Which didn't even make sense >_> ). It felt natural and awesome!
I really think Black Widow would have been better if they just let Taskmaster be comic accurate. Just a badass mercenary who winds up siding with Widow or just ditching the main villain when he knows it's too late. Plus it kind of sends a wrong message, a female hero can't beat a male supervillain? lmao
And apart from that Taskmaster just sucked in general. The only part I really enjoyed was Red Guardian. They should have had more Natasha/Clint scenes too. 'Budapest, heck yeah.... wait is it over already? Boo!'
So Bully Maguire and Andrew are pretty much coming to save Iron Boy Jr.'s bacon.This movie has the potential to be better than Homecoming and Far from Home but we'll see.As far as what all 3 of them bring to the table I'd say Tobey is the strongest and most experienced,Andrew is the fastest and most agile,Tom has the best gear.
My theory was that all of these villains were from a different universe that were in the middle of fighting Spider-Man but the Garfield and Maguire that we get in the movie are the ones from the actual movies that we saw them in where they actually settled their business with the villains.While I agree with you on HomeComing (which in my eyes is a classic), I disagree on FarFromHome. I don't particularly dislike the movie, but it's not really going to be difficult to top it.
As for roles within the 'squad' I'd like to see:
Tom: Doubts his every move.
Tobey: The mature one, has had to make sacrifices along the way, but clings to UncleBen's words.
Andrew: The still grieving one of the group. I picture him being rude, rough around the edges and disinterested in the whole ordeal he's brought into due to still mourning Gwen Stacy. I imagine him only to start clicking with the group after he sees MJ fall off the Statue of Liberty, saves her - and then sets aside his personal grief for a hot minute where they fight Electro, Sandman and Lizard.
Also, the trailer said something about these villains having died fighting Spiderman.. But you know.. Tobey forgives Sandman at the end of SM3. So either this is a Sandman from a 4th Spiderman-universe where Spiderman did end up killing him, or Tobey somehow went back from forgiving him and killed him anyway. In which case, I could see Tobey as being a moody character.
My theory was that all of these villains were from a different universe that were in the middle of fighting Spider-Man but the Garfield and Maguire that we get in the movie are the ones from the actual movies that we saw them in where they actually settled their business with the villains.
DoctorStrange said in the trailer that these are villains that were about to die, but got ripped over to the MCU. It's part of Peter's character arc. Sending them back to their own realities means sending them to their deaths. So it's really interesting to see what's going to happen with these characters now.
Obviously Tobey and Andrew are going to be from those universes as well - otherwise there won't be any personal stakes for them.
Any news on Daredevil being featured?
