So I’ve just finished Luke Cage. It took me 3 times longer than the previous Netflix shows. I definitely did not expect that it will be so boring…

I could not even make it to the end.

Really enjoyed Doctor Strange. Funny, last year was Ultron and Ant-Man, which made me tired of the team-ups and the origin stories and Marvel in general. This year it’s flipped completely with the best team-up yet and the best solo origin story since Iron Man. Can’t say I’m not excited for what’s to come. New ranking:

  1. Captain America: Civil War
  2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
  3. Iron Man
  4. Guardians of the Galaxy
  5. The Avengers
  6. Doctor Strange
  7. Iron Man 3
  8. Captain America: The First Avenger
  9. Thor
  10. The Incredible Hulk
  11. The Avengers: Age of Ultron
  12. Iron Man 2
  13. Ant-Man
  14. Thor: The Dark World

Marvel Fans, I have an idea.

After watching Civil War again, I must say that I truly love this film. The third act is golden film-making. But something has always bugged me…which is the letter at the end. The entire scene cheapens everything that went down between Tony and Steve, and made me feel like they had already made up. Zemo’s question of “Did it?” was profound and thoughtful but was soon answered in not the way he would have liked. I have an idea of ending the movie after Zemo says “Did it?” There are some issues with this though, such as:

-How do we figure out that Captain America rescued everyone from the raft?
-Will the mid-credits scene in Wakanda make sense?

The solution/answer to the first issue is kind of unknown. In Infinity War or Black Panther, they might re-establish that Cap rescued the Avengers from “The Raft”. If not, then I guess I just trash this modified version and stick with the theatrical.

To the second issue, I think it is fine. As far as we know, Cap has escaped with Bucky and T’Challa is not angry at Bucky anymore, so it seems to be logical enough.

Do you guys have any opinions on this? I am very interested what you all have to say 😃

After re-watching the scene, I have grown to like Cap’s speech more and more but still despising the last couple bits of Tony ignoring General Ross and grinning at the phone.

So another option, would be to lose these last bits of Tony seeming to already forgive Cap.

I still think cutting to the credits after Zemo says “Did it?” would be cool.

At the end of Civil War, characters are split and there’s a whole new generation of superheros being trained up. What is the state of the Avengers at the start of Infinity War?

There’s a writing adage that says “write yourself into a corner.” My brother and I have always loved that adage. That was one of our favourite things about Civil War – that it ended in a difficult place where it’s hard to imagine what the road forward exactly is for both Tony Stark, Steve Rodgers and these two sides that have suffered the consequences of this division. On a storytelling level, it is a very difficult place and yes, that is very much the condition of the world as we move forward after Civil War. This very much sets the stage for where Infinity War begins – it’s a place of a strong divide.

Will some of the tensions have been resolved when we next meet those characters?

We believe things that are important and complex for a character to go through should be seen on camera. The divisions that happened at the end of Civil War were so deep they’re not the kind of things you can resolve or move through off camera; they’re the kind of things you have to directly deal with in the storytelling.That’s our philosophical approach to how we handle those things.

That’s crazy! What kind of budget will those first two episodes have if they’re going to IMAX…

Possibly, but I doubt it. Ghost Rider has really shaken things up on the show. I’d hate to see it end right after being reinvigorated.

This is the first season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. where I have looked forward to the upcoming episodes, but I would much rather have a “Ghost Rider” series spin-off in the near future.

I wanted to break down the known Infinity Stones and how most of them have been on Earth forever. Figured I’d just come up with my notes here to share.

Space Stone (Tesseract): Hidden/lost on Earth until Loki steals it from SHIELD. Currently in Asgard.
Mind Stone (Septer): Given by Thanos to Loki who loses it on Earth. Currently in Vision’s forehead, on Earth.
Reality Stone (Aether): Hidden/lost on Earth until Malekith steals it from Jane Foster. Currently in Asgard.
Power Stone (Orb): Hidden/lost on Morag until Star-Lord steals it, & Ronan from him. Currently on Xandar.
Time Stone (Eye of Agamotto): Sitting in a libary on Earth until Doctor Strange steals it. Currently back in the library on Earth.
Soul Stone (???): ???

So 3 of the Stones have been on Earth for hundreds/thousands of years (ignoring the easter eggs in Odin’s Vault). One was in Thanos’ possession until he lost it on Earth. One had been on a dead planet for hundreds/thousands of years.

How long has Thanos been searching for them? The one he started with (Mind Stone) he gave to a trickster god who promptly failed to gain the Space Stone. The Reality Stone was hidden in a pocket dimension, IIRC, and we can assume the Time Stone is hidden through magic (it’s possible that Kamar-Taj is in a pocket dimension itself, though it still has wifi).

Infinity War will be interesting, as Thanos has to go through the Avengers (Mind), Asgardians (Space/Reality/Soul?), Guardians (Power), and Sorcerors (Time) to collect them all, even if he only has to go to three planets to do that.

Additionally, we’ve been told that Inhumans has no impact on the fate of Agents of SHIELD. No decision has been made as to whether Agents of SHIELD will return for a fifth season or not.

I really would like a season five of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Oh yeah!

Speaking of Rocket, I only just found out this figure exists.

As the only 1980’s version RR figure I know of, it will be mine!

Where were you in '77?

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Slingshot is set in the world of the hit television series Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Taking place shortly before the beginning of Season 4, this digital series features the character of Elena “Yo-Yo” Rodriguez (Natalia Cordova-Buckley), an Inhuman with the ability to move with super-speed. As a person with powers, she must sign the recently instituted Sokovia Accords, the worldwide agreement that regulates and tracks those with super powers. However, the restrictions of the Accords are in direct conflict with a personal mission she’s desperate to fulfill, a mission that will test her abilities, her allegiances, and will include some tense encounters with our most popular S.H.I.E.L.D. team members.

Why Do MARVEL’s Movies Look Ugly?
A good video that I agree with very much.

That is the biggest probpem with the MCU. The bland music at least is kind of fun to listen to, but I’ve never liked the cinematography in the MCU.

Someone should do a regrade of civil war. I suck at color correction but it sounds like a great idea.
