Will Hulkling be introduced in time for ...

[bleak prairie]

Should he intertwined with the cosmic side of the MCU as well?

[wraith herald]

i dont think theres the need

[blissful breach]

I hope not

[halcyon maple]

My girlfriend has been waiting for a Young Avengers movie for forever

[split ocean]

I don’t want them to but it would be weird ig it just got ignored

[leaden estuary]

Atp, Young Avengers have to be introduced in the reboot

After secret wars

[pulsar pawn]

I'm doubtful, they wasted every chance they had

[dawn dune]

I really like hulkling but just skipping past og marvel would destroy my heart

I need to see mar-vell in st least one mainstream adaptation 😭

[urban fulcrum]

Me looking at this poll like well duh Hulkling has been around for over 20 years

And then realizing it’s an MCU question💀

[pulsar pawn]

they did adapt mar. it was not very good

[kind hedge]

Feels like they might do it to give Wiccan a squeeze

[dawn dune]

Eh kinda he never debuted as captain marvel just mar-vell

[north beacon]

Need that Wiccan x Hulkling Romance

[daring gull]

i really want him to show up but I have no hope

[pulsar pawn]

i guess, it's just a byproduct of mcu robbing things of silver age charm

don't even think we got any significant interactions between marv and humans, those were hilarious in the og run

[north beacon]

They've been teasing young avengers for 5 years now and we still have nothing

I think Vision Quest will introduce Vivian and Speed (Tommy maximoff)

[torn swift]

[dawn dune]

An captain marvel movie would go so hard or just a movie with him in it specifically considering that mcu really likes comedy

[dawn dune]

My goats

[brave widget]

yes because why not

[potent mango]

Probably?

[zenith coral]

My headcanon is he was introduced in Agatha All Along & it’s gonna be treated like a huge shock that Wiccan’s boyfriend Ted is actually Teddy aka Hulkling. And yes, make him cosmic af

[atomic matrix]

I remember that speculation but I thought it was a weird place to introduce him

[fast terrace]

I doubt we're getting a Young Avengers lineup considering the lineup for it it is pretty awful barring Kate Bishop and Ms. Marvel. Only chance is if they pull a miracle like they did with the trio of Kate, Kamala, and Riri in Marvel Zombies (it was surprisingly great)

[rotund remnant]

Eh, idk

[rocky slate]

Teddy is also the son of Mar-Vell and they already fucked Mar-Vell up

[dusty crescent]

Good stuff

[zenith coral]

There is very little that is not weird about Hulkling

[zenith coral]

I can’t bring myself to care about Mar-Vell outside of the Death of Captain Marvel which was a great graphic novel.

[atomic matrix]

True but introducing him in AAA didnt .
Make sense to me

[atomic matrix]

Ngl i never cared for Mar-Vell either

[atomic matrix]

Its not awful. And imo Kate was the worst one anyways

[atomic matrix]

Easy fix: just have mcu Mar-Vell's son be Teddy's dad

[zenith coral]

Nobody did, that’s why nobody minded when he was killed. Then it turned out that his death story was legitimately great

[atomic matrix]

Its ironic

But I never got what was supposed to be interesting about Mar-Vell

[zenith coral]

He was pure trademark squatting. Can’t have a rival having a comic called Captain Marvel

Carol is at least kind of interesting

[atomic matrix]

Carol & Monica > Mar-Vell imo

[zenith coral]

Mar-Vell? Who cares?

[zenith coral]

I haven’t read any of his songs Genis’ adventures but Phyla-Vell is also cooler than Mar-Vell & I’d bet Genis is too

[atomic matrix]

Im not as well versed with those 2

[pulsar pawn]

genis being teddy's dad would be whack

[pulsar pawn]

people absolutely minded when he was killed 😭

[atomic matrix]

No im saying mcu mar-vell would have a son whos based on the original comics Mar-Vell

[pulsar pawn]

marv is basically just omni man if omni man broke free of the cycle of violence that plagued his people

and became the antithesis of thanos and ronan, they were arch enemies back in the day

thanos grew up in a peaceful society and fell in love with death, becoming more and more vile as a means of tearing down the society that ostracized his violence
mar was indoctrinated into the kree military at age 9 (the same military whose motto is "What do we do with races we hate? WE EXTERMINATE THEM!") and he got ostracized in the exact same way when he refused to turn that violence back on humankind

[atomic matrix]

Its ironic

I tried to get into Mar-Vell. Idk he just felt bland

[pulsar pawn]

ronan is a very obvious example of a foil to mar, he bought into what the kree empire sold. dude became the biggest racist in marvel history just to be the perfect kree

[atomic matrix]

To me that is

[pulsar pawn]

u ever read thanos war?

[atomic matrix]

Not yet. I read infinity gauntlet

[pulsar pawn]

thanos war was much earlier, it's the first thanos event

[atomic matrix]

Oh yeah

[pulsar pawn]

1973ish

[atomic matrix]

Iirc Thanos died at the end

[pulsar pawn]

i guess but it would be a weird timeline thing

[atomic matrix]

It would but I feel thats the only way it'll work

[pulsar pawn]

mcu mar died in the 90s, it's the 2020s in mcu time. not possible to have a teenage teddy that fast

[atomic matrix]

Huh? I meant that mcu Mar-Vell's son, based on Walter Lawson from the comics, would be Ted's dad

So if mcu Mar's son is the same age as Carol, then it would work

[pulsar pawn]

I guess

[atomic matrix]

Its not perfect but idk another way

[pulsar pawn]

idk maybe hulkling got captured and put in stasis by either the kree or skrulls?

[atomic matrix]

Eh idk

Maybe

[daring gull]

spitballing but they could also introduce some random skrull royal and give him kree blood like carol got

[atomic matrix]

Ig

Idk though

[pulsar pawn]

i guess but that kinda hurts his claim to being kree/skrull emperor down the line

[daring gull]

that's true

[atomic matrix]

Although idk if mcu skrulls even have an emperor

[daring gull]

dro'ge I believe

[pulsar pawn]

mcu skrulls were such a mess

[atomic matrix]

Ohh

[pulsar pawn]

kree too but to a slightly lesser extent

no ronan sucks

[daring gull]

that's what I'm saying cuz how are they gonna fix it enough to have teddy

[atomic matrix]

I kinda get why they changed it in the mcu: the og skrulls were kinda stereotypical

Not saying it completely worked out though

[daring gull]

also the quality of secret invasion and the response to the marvels is not a good sign

[pulsar pawn]

they fumbled. they didn't have to do allat
just take the secret invasion (comic) take of them and run with it

religious fanatics who believed they had a claim to earth, breeds conflict and is pretty straightforward

[daring gull]

and much more interesting

[atomic matrix]

secret invastion was only really bad at the end imo. Marvels was good though

[pulsar pawn]

i don't like monica being tied to wanda

[daring gull]

they're gonna look at the response and decide not to do it

[atomic matrix]

idk i don't think fans would ever react well to 'your fave hero has been an alien imposter'

[pulsar pawn]

i REALLY don't like it at all

[atomic matrix]

we'll that's kinda stupid

since i've mostly seen people online liking it

[daring gull]

all I saw after it came out was Haters so i dunno

[atomic matrix]

i saw it on D+

thought it was pretty fun

biggest issue was some of the dramatic moments were too rushed and the bad guy was lame

[pulsar pawn]

monica was all about reclaiming one's own agency. to have some other supe just give her powers on accident kinda sucks

[atomic matrix]

that was more the fault of Wandavision though

[pulsar pawn]

especially considering they UNDID mar giving carol her powers (fully i guess, that retcon comes and goes every other run)

yes i know

it's not a problem with the marvels it's just a problem i had with the mcu adaptation of monica

[atomic matrix]

ohh ok

imo she should've been introduced before Infinity war

[pulsar pawn]

I fear Phyla is cooked though. Adam too

[atomic matrix]

i did think how she got her powers was goofy and random

but it kinda was in the coics too

[atomic matrix]

we barely saw phyla.let's not panic

[daring gull]

did they make phyla kree or did they not say anything

[pulsar pawn]

Phyla is all about legacy, same with Genis. If you fumble Mar you've kinda already fumbled them

[atomic matrix]

they didn't really mention anything iirc

[rocky slate]

Phyla was the little girl in GotG Vol 3

[daring gull]

ok y'all there's still hope

[pulsar pawn]

They both get crushed under the pressure of being heirs to "The Greatest Warrior to Walk the Stars" and struggle to cope with it

Phyla overcame, Genis went psycho crazy

[pulsar pawn]

she's not kree, she's one of high evo's experiments

[daring gull]

she still could be kree if they didn't say her species

like how rocket is still technically a raccoon

[atomic matrix]

true but wdk exactly what they'll do

yeah High Evo just took others from other places

[daring gull]

yeah yeah yeah

[pulsar pawn]

they're not. they're evolved from fish

[daring gull]

oh they said that?

[pulsar pawn]

they could do cool stuff but you've already lost a lot

yes

[daring gull]

damn .....

[pulsar pawn]

my best guess is they didn't wanna touch the eternals of titan

or eternals in general after the movie bombed

[daring gull]

makes sense

[atomic matrix]

they brought back Kingo in what if

give it time

[pulsar pawn]

yeah they were in zombies too

[atomic matrix]

yeah we'll see
