The end of the MCU?

Now that we have have several streaming shows, and some movies, was “End Game” the end to the MCU to you?

Will these Phase 5, 6, 7…. live up to the previous highs?

Sadly, it looks like it has gone down, and down fast, IMO.

The Best rogues gallery for DC is hands down Batman, while in Marvel it is Spider-Man.

And before the MCU, I would not have been able to list a villain to the Avengers, Iron Man.

I knew of Captain America and Red Skull.

I knew The Hulk and Abomination (and General Ross).

I also knew Fantastic Four’s Dr.Doom.

I also knew of X-Men’s Magneto.

I also knew of Dare Devil’s Kingpin.

But a rogue’s gallery for any of them?  Not a chance!

I was watching ‘X2’ again tonight and am once again reminded on why I liked the X-Men in the first place. I had been attracted to them because I found it very unusual that despite them being heroes, they were hated and feared. I have zero confidence in Disney doing the X-Men right (good luck with them trying to recreate something like that awesome Nightcrawler opening sequence😍 or the scene with Mystique sticking a finger up when she’s sliding underneath the door😂). As for the F4…I sort of have a bit of confidence but again, not much.

I’m guessing that the only reason why they bought FOX in the first place- aside from shutting up the fanboys that were egging them on into buying it because of the X-Men and F4- was because they didn’t like the fact that FOX’s X-Men films were doing better than their Avengers films were doing at the time of purchase!

Don’t forget about Ian McKellen as Magneto too. I wish they’d given him his own solo or origins film🙁.

I agree with everything that Ryan says on that vid especially about why not even I was interested in the Black Panther film either (I’m not sure what the driving laws are in the US but I wish he’d keep his hands on the wheel😳. Also, Google Lady interrupting him was hilarious🤣). No-one wants these characters on the screen despite what Disney and Twitter might say otherwise! If they’ve chosen someone to race and gender swap a character because they’re good enough for the role fair enough but sadly, this is getting way out of control! Poor Chadwick must be spinning in his grave at what they’re doing with Black Panther 2.

What If Marvel Wasn’t a DISASTER?
Marvel’s What If..? Season 1 Episode 2 Review | What If T’Challa Became a Star-Lord? In a Marvel Cinematic Universe of infinite possibilities Marvel has decided to ignore them for the most part and do what they are doing in the ‘regular’ MCU. Race and gender swap everyone. First it was what If Peggy Carter was a better Captain America and now it’s What If T’Challa was a better Star lord. More boring subtle and not so subtle deconstruction.

I liked her on ‘Attack of the Clones’ but I nearly got put off her on ‘Revenge of the Sith’ because she spent the entire film crying but I guess Padme had every right to considering what she was going through on that film. Portman wouldn’t have been my first choice for a Lady Thor though.
