They should've spent the $200m on a Howard The Duck show
also...was Ghost even at the battle in endgame?
What the fuck was that fight
Gotta justify her being in thunderbolts I guess?
Also how are all of those HUMANS able to just walk out of a highly radioactive facility
Shouldn’t they also be malnourished
I thought it was clear that they would have picked up DNA at other places than just endgame
but they do specifically refer to that battle
And be even more susceptible to the radiation
because their writing is shite
lol i forgot about that..
because they're not in the reactor room and obviously the walls are thick!!1111
reeeeee dont u understand its reinforced fury only had a problem when he was inside the reactor!1111
Ok but they’re walking outside and smelling the uranium roses!!!
someone should have watched chernobyl
I hate Marvel
everyone who made this show should be tried for their crimes against tv
Sorry I’ll put Czernobyl on my to watch list
again, the radiation plot point was handled with the grace of an 8th grader who will be attending summer school for biology class
i was talking about the writers of the show but chernobyl is good
the radiation was an after thought
I’ve heard very good things
Top 5 show
Literally NO JOKE their thinking was
"gravik will never suspect fury is a skrull if he's coughing!"
that was their logic which is why it's hapzardly in at the end
seriously
yes this was also insane to me
shoot him in the hand, zero risk
Nuclear radiation vs coughing Fury
its unclear, maybe even tickling or pinching skulls will force them to reveal too
LOL TICKLE THE SKRULLS
LOOOOL
also that president's reaction makes our timeline looks sane and reasonable
I'm sorry but the writing was on the wall from episode 1 that they were never going to be able to pull this off
THEY KILLED MARIA HILL FOR WHAT?????????
BTW??????????????
AND TALOS????
So people are now more space racist than ever before so Nick Fury just fucks off
This was a $200m hit on Maria Hill
THEY NEEDED A STINGER
AN OPENer
I feel like even if they wanted out Colby's is particurlarly bad
She could have just been off spying
Like how Fury was jerking it in a space station for 30 years
Special Guest Star Colbie Smulders
Could've addressed it in the opening crawl of another mid MCU show
Dies in the first episode
Gets credited for the whole thing
I’m surprised Feige had the self restraint to not make the writers fit in a “Where’s Tony” from Rhodey
Gotta make the fans think he’s been a skrull forever
Tony was actually captured too, Skrull tony died. Tony is back for the next phase
When was Bilbo taken why isn’t anyone asking how long he’s been a skrull
WAS HE A SKRULL IN BP2?! OH MY GOD
WHAT WILL WE DO
the stakes are simply too high!!
Also Rhodey being a skrull for god knows how long means Armor Wars going to suck but we been knew
but i certainly am not now
I think I might cancel D+ until Loki comes back
I don't think I care about Ahsoka either
literally they were on top of the world
Well Cz maybe if you watched the 3 TV shows
What do you want me to watch? Shows for CHILDREN????
I want more clickbait "was Disney buying Marvel bad for Marvel?!"
I was MCU shill up until FFH
After Spidey what’s the point
Not FFH
NWH
too much home
It makes me sad MCU has been my main fandom now since Iron Man came out but I'm like done with this trash
Black Adam is probably a better movie than Secret Invasion is a show
lmaooo
At least it had a plot and more than 1 entertaining character
marvel SIMPERY
the kid who gets on his skateboard to go 4 feet on the ground between staircases?
yeah but kids are dumb
idk i went to the marvel studios post bottle
the first comments for me are either complaints or people too dumb to understand the show
which is like, wow, really impressive
sonatta09 i think we can give a pass, they probably fell asleep during the monologue and reactor scene and then woke up to hulk arm
lmao
This is charging my haterade
kill him off honestly
He's my favorite avenger but he doesn't need a fifth movie
Was Iron Fist better than this show
I think he should have a mini series of just raising his daughter
No action
Just Chris Hemsworth and his daughter
I’m betting Iger & Co are asking RDJ, Evans, and Hemsworth how much money it’ll take to make them the big three again
It can’t be lost on Disney how much the MCU is suffering from a quality POV and how little people care for these new faces
And now little Marvel cares for old faces
...i care about Miles
what they should take away is that you need good story telling and not just...whatever this show was
I know there’s a 2-3 year gap where the world was on pause there, but it’s fucking wild that by this long into the MCU from its start we already had Avengers happen
We’re 5 years into the “next 10 years” and what do we really have to show for it
idk, we got to see yellow hoverchair prof X for a little bit? wandavision was kinda neat
deadpool is gonna do something
oh yeah i mean, tons of characters i don't care about, IronHeart is cool in theory*, but oof, i didn't love how they did it in BP2
I kind of disagree and think more of their issues are on execution vs the characters
they introduced a ton of new cool people in BP2 with zero room to breathe, gave new captain a pretty boring TV show intro. Meanwhile Loki was great, hawkeye was fun and Kate Bishop moving forward has a good foundation
Antman was successful enough to get a third movie and what did they do? Make the worst movie possible
I love Paul Rudd as antman, i really don't enjoy the movies outside of his charisma
Honestly still wild that they thought “let’s take the franchise that historically did well enough as a cool down from the big event movie and make it the thing that launches the next major villain arc instead”
And then Majors actual villain/horrible person arc started
Well less started and more became public
A big part of it for me is that the shows as a narrative devices don’t work. Comic book movies already have trouble telling a cohesive story in a tight 120-minutes, where every second is supposed to have purpose and meaning.
When you give a show like this 6-episodes, you’re already starting in debt. There’s simply not enough meat on this bone to warrant six weeks of content. And if you drop that town to four, which it probably should’ve been, you’re now at the point where it could probably just be a movie.
Which is a way of saying Disney+ killed the mcu
They really should have been more specific with how long Rhodey was replaced
It would have helped a lot with the overall reception to the show i think
Yep
wait, so they said it's been a "long time" that Rhodes has been down there? Are they feeding these guys? are they pooping? what's the deal with that?
Don't think too hard about it because they certainly didn't.
and if it's been a "long time", that means like years? That's a lot of poop.... and wouldn't War Machines suit know that it's not him?
just don’t think too hard 
was the location of Rhodes and the other human leaders at the same place as G'iah and Gravik?
ie, would they all have radiation poisoning right now too? heh
That’s thinking about it too much

This ain’t it, chief
so how about that secret invasion
peak marvel amirite

Except Kate Bishop isn't going to show up again for like 8 years
Marvel Studios has
- Iman Vehli
- Florence Pugh
- Hailey Steinfeld
- Tatiana Maslany
- Alaqua Cox
- Simu Liu
And they're not really doing anything with any of them, outside of The Marvels and a Shang-Chi sequel coming out in like 2030 at this point.
I'm sure they'll blame all the women and POC for the failure of the MCU though
I still consider this better than Loki, but not by much.
Samuel L Jackson's costume in the MCU is just being bald and wearing an eye patch. And they didn't even want to do that until the last ten minutes.
the parks have more consistency than the shows
Would it have killed him to take off the hat? I know it's cold in Russia
Nick Fury with something on his head is like CeeLo Green without sunglasses
It's just uncomfortable
I think I would’ve liked this better if Hill’s death was a fake out and this show ended with her taking over for Fury for the most part.
I think this works better as a period piece
Set it in 2002 Afghanistan, use 9/11 if they want to be edgelords instead of killing... what was it, 2 million people in Red Square? Lol.
By which I mean, draw parallels between persecution of brown people in the wake of the attacks with persecution of the Skrulls
That way you don't have Gravek rancoring for 30 years, only like 7 or 8
Because otherwise there's really no excuse for Fury and Carol (the latter of which isn't even here to defend herself from character assassination)
I guess Marvel is going to pull a LucasFilm and move to appease the people who already hate Carol because Bri Larson isn't penisy enough to be a superhero.
This is duuuuuumb
President turning on the Skrulls and there being an even more secret Skrull society with the British lady should've been midseason
Also DNA soup of all the avengers combined is dumb, like could've made it just a briefcase full of vials and it would've made it less dumb
Armor wars ain’t happening
Of all the things they’ve announced that feels the most likely to be canned quietly
I wonder how much of this show changed with the reshoots
They went as far as changing it from a show to a movie which actually got me hyped because im sick of shows that would be better as movies
I didn't even like this show but this take makes me angry
real rhodey' legs aren't working in #SecretInvasion finale, and he used leg braces in ‘infinity war & endgame’ but his legs are totally fine in ‘falcon and the winter soldier’ which means rhodey has been replaced by skrulls after ‘endgame’ https://t.co/HuFirP310u
I’m going with this for now
They did very explicitly have him in leg braces when not in the suit, and then he didn’t have that in Falcon
That’s also a key thing besides his snark. Yes he was snarky before but the snark in this was different. Like making a joke about putting on the suit and carpet bombing at the beginning of the series?
The ending to this show is weird, feels like a set up to season 2. But knowing how the MCU works, season 2 is unlikely and it will probably get picked up in other projects
Also are MCU writers just incapable of not writing a big cgi fight for the final episode, or is it like a mandate
The ending sets up a more interesting thriller than this one that we’ll never get
That's why I think it should've been midseason
Would've been interesting to see a big shake up midseason but that never happened
For a thriller mystery about secret invasions, everything that happened was telegraphed
Yeah it doesn’t really make sense for him to be a skrull until after endgame
Not season 1, that shit was horrific. Jessica Jones and luke cage was better though
Im just gonna imagine season 2 is coming out and it’s gonna be good
For a cgi finale fest, this was fairly tame
I wish they built up the tension of the president calling off the strike, they did a good job with the earlier possible plane strike I thought
i blocked out forgot about Not Skaar jfc
and of those four he's most likely to show up first since Cap 4 is actually a hulk movie
Live action Code: Lyoko looking pretty good so far
that crisp hairline tho
Im so confused as to why they made this honestly. Its just baffling how horrible it is
Like something like Wandavision that ends poorly is one thing, but i cannot think of a single redeeming factor of this show
One of the first questions we collectively asked after episode 1 was "who is this show for?"
Feels more and more like Disney is catering to an audience that "wants stuff related to Marvel" and the threshold for quality is "it exists", which is such a bummer
I think they must’ve reshot a ton of the show
Specifically the finale
because like even fatws manages to tell a coherent story
If i was Iger, id legitimately be reconsidering if Feiges the guy anymore
They gotta reign this in a little bit
I feel like every new show turns into the lowest viewed one
I pretty much binged the entire thing and honestly i considered giving up I was so damn bored
everything feels so all over the place
My hot take: drop the shared universe. Go back to making standalone pieces that just so happen to have a stinger which might lead to an event.
They're also mistaking "is a comic" for "will be good"
also the choices for which characters get shows seems all over the place
Which is also one of the more ridiculous defensive moves you see on Twitter/Reddit when someone questions the quality of these shows. "But it's just like the comic!" ... the comic wasn't good, either?
The one criticism I don’t get is people being like “the director should’ve read the original comic”
When the entire secret invasion comic is just weird islamphobia
I like Disney marvel content and I thought it was good for like the first 4 episodes
same lol
Like I’ve enjoyed all the shows even though they haven’t been the greatest
But this one was just
really bad
wym super skrull aren't enough???
I don't think the issue is Feige - I think it's the creative council and being stretched too thin.
Also, who do you get to replace Feige?
I think they need to reel in their content strategy and go back to basics. The OG marvel movies weren't known for their reshoots.
Is he approving or is he PUSHING too many projects? IMO Iger/Chapek are responsible for the problems.
They have been pushing content for their failing streaming services since D+ Launched.
Yeah COVID didn't help, but at this point they can't rely on that excuse anymore
I don't know that I necessarily agree that Feige is singlehandedly pushing having this much content. I think the order came from above to develop streaming content since you see it in their other verticals as well. Maybe on the movie side he's guilty.
All of their D+ shows fucking suck
It isn't a Marvel problem
I wish
What was Willow's budget?
Book of Boba Fett - $105 million. really good use of money there.
They’re blowing money on crap
MCU is absolutely overspending but part of that was the buy in of getting the movie actors for the beginning shows. But D+ is overspending across the board.
There are things that are solid but most is shit
For National Treasure tv show - According to the Baton Rouge Film Commission, the total production budget for this series was $79,687,654.
They spent $80 million on that national treasure show that five people watched
I would guess WIllow is around there if not higher
i can't either only about the original movie
they don't want you to know how much they wasted on it
Honestly, step one is to fire Filoni
And then fully invest in Favreau's vision
2026 launch the Chef-based MCU
When in doubt, blame Cowboy Man
Would any of you pay to go to a Galactic Cruiser type experience, but it was Avengers Campus
A 2-night experience where Nick Fury tells you nothing and you're left figuring out what to do on your own
Avengers campus dorm night
But you can learn about ESPIONAGE
TLCOP
I'm surprised they didn't capitlize on Fury Mania by putting an escape room experience in DTD
"Nick's Great Escape"
I mean there's a lot they could capitalize on and make it cool but they're incapable of doing so
Please ████ ████ ███ ██ ███ ███ ████ █████████ ████ leave
I wanted to watch that national treasure show but I kept forgetting it existed
iman vellani 
more of a marvel nerd than he is
i watched two episodes of it and would like that 90 minutes back
sorry not putting a child as head of marvel
Honestly at this point D+ should pivot to TikTok for new MCU series
Wow I see how it is
hey can't you drink at least
I’m only two months older than her
resurrect quibi
Sign me up
Give me Awful Invasion as 10 5-minute clips over the course of two weeks and I'm good
i was literally just lowkey throwing shade at my coworker for not editing their tik toks in true tik tok fashion
imagine a marvel show with those cuts
I would love this
Characters duetting each other
And responding to comments
i hope they only use filters for voices
And sorry, not all 20 year olds are children, but their brains are still developing. I don't think any 20 year old should head up Marvel division. it's not just "how much comic book knowledge" you have
I was just joking about you indirectly calling me a child
I completely agree
I didn’t want to hurt your feelings!!!!!
Ms Marvel has everything going for it except the superhero story. the villains are TERRIBLE , her and the family dynamic was A++
I'm betting that Iman steals the show in The Marvels
First 2 episodes were great and then they just forgot all the style of the later episodes
The parts when Talos and Fury tell at each other are well done. And Emilia Clarke has nice hair. There's two more.
I didn't mind Kamala's imagination becoming less prevalent as the stakes increased. We didn't really need the VFX layered onto the Partition episode.
If Iman turns out to be like some sort of savant at comic book writing when Ms Marvel comes out this fall maybe she can have the job. As it stands I can't think of a worse first comic to have to do than "Ms Marvel was dead for no reason and now she's alive but she's a mutant and an Inhuman at the same time and also a terrorist attack happened like 15 minutes after she woke up"
They set WAY too much stupid shit up. Like im supposed to know Sharon Carters a bad guy, Hulk has a son, Rhodey was a skrull, Ms Marvels a mutant and a ton more ridiculous shit
These shows were the worst idea ever.
@distant vortex our boys coming in hot
OH HELL YEAH I WAS WAITING
It’s probably because I’ve also been binge rewatching West Wing for the last two weeks but I still can’t get over how insanely lax they had the fucking security for the President be in this show
The first two seasons of the west wing are legendary
It took me until this episode to realize that the President was Admiral Stenz from Godzilla
First four imo.
The Aaron “Cocaine Incarnate” Sorkin seasons
I dont think the issue lies with feige
They need to just chill and make like 1 series a year max
Issue is compounded when they are using marvel to get content onto Disney+
I dont wanna necessarily blame feige the same way i dont wanna just blame Kennedy(im not starting a debate i swear), but at the end of the day, he has a ton of influence. Maybe Chapek or Iger demanded a ton of shows, i have no clue, but some of these shows should have been scrapped and i feel like Feige has the influence to get that done
When they announced they were making shows, I swear they said they wouldnt be required viewing but so far and were basically extra content for die hards, but now its clear these pretty much HAVE to be seen
If we're following the sw analogy Iger demanded a movie a year, similar could've happened
Id like to imagine disney isnt stupid enough to have demanded garbage get made if Feige is telling them its gonna hurt the brand
But it could be feige cause all the projects he announced are going through. Lucasfilm tho is at like a 30% completion rate
I put it more on Feige especially since it was very public that he took over more direct control of the studio after Phase 2
In fairness i feel A LOT of announced movies and shows wont happen for Marvel either
I think now they're gonna reevaluate and cut back
Like when are we getting an Okoye show thats apparently not the wakanda show, or the ten rings show, or armor wars
Like the Feige reluctantly announcing an Inhumans movie is not the same Feige running things today
Iger practically confirmed they were didnt he?
Aside from the strikes, I feel like Marvel pulled out of comic con because they really just had nothing to announce because so much shits gonna have to change
Yes, but I think they're still probably gonna release all the stuff they just filmed like Ironheart
Oh yeah i agree there, I cant imagine they are gonna batgirl it all, but i dont think the announced stuff is safe
In hindsight it’s kind of crazy they used Wakanda Forever as a hook for like 4 different D+ shows that now might not happen
Wakanda Forever is probably the most disappointing movie in the MCU
Not the worst
The most disappointing
its kinda crazy i just forgot that movie existed 
Its sad cause they did so much right with it but just had to bloat tf out of it to set up more shit
tbf it was the first mcu film in a long time i missed in theaters, but damn its not even like L&T bad where its mentioned all the time
also the underwater looks GARBAGE compared to what Jim cooked
I’m still just meh over Wakanda Forever and I don’t know if they could’ve done anything to change that. It sucks that by the end I was rooting for everyone to just lose
cutting a lot of the side stuff wouldve been an immediate bonus
But the characters were just unlikeable
I gotta be honest, and I was hoping to love her, but they coulda scrapped Iron Heart entirely
And also Elaine and Bilbo
WF adding like 2-3 new characters that use the Iron Man helmet vision 🤦♂️
I definitely see both sides, but I feel overall it would have been the right move
Killing T'Challa was good for "the brand" but bad for the story
either is fine but whats worse is not recasting but then giving him a son of the same name
But I think it would have been a disservice to the actor and the impact he made in the community.
I thought he wanted it recast?
See I like that personally.
I mean idk I hadn’t heard that but regardless for me its more of what he meant to the community. You have to take the real world factor
The only thing he said was "the next time you see Black Panther, it's going to be with a 2 after it," upon accepting his SAG Award
i liked it too, but cynical part of me seems like it was just so they could get another tchalla
Oh 100%
And mark my words, he will be aged up post Secret Wars with multiverse nonsense
any update on the leaked concept art for WF of ||Dr Doom?||
Post Secret Wars MCU is gonna be wild,
I don't want to talk about Wakanda Forever anymore though. A gross movie, tbh
Of course, tbh i did assume he really was quoted on wanting it recast, and just figured he thought the character was more important than the actor playing him
I can’t wait
Post Secret Wars MCU is not going to exist
Implying we are even getting secret wars
I mean he never spoke publicly about his illness
We are because that's the one with the old characters coming back
They won't make good movies, only "hype" ones
while mcu is falling apart can i at least get moon knight s2?
What i understood was he wasnt really wanting to do 1,000 movies and would eventually leave. Again, this info is from reddit comments
Please no
I’d prefer if we just forget about Moon Knight
Fr. I complained at the time that it was so disconnected but honestly i think id prefer some standalone stuff. As long as they show the fights
I'm more excited for Moon Knight than Thunderbolts
lol forgot about that
Thunderbolts lineup actually does have me intrigued
its changed tho
That was another own-goal
The one time they try to give us Jewish character we get Moon Knight, which was such a fucking cop out
Did it? I thought Ghost being written out was fake
it was fake? lol maybe it was, i havent followed it
All they had to do was make Dark Avengers and they couldn't even do that
!lies
Maybe, i need to again say this info is reddit
Petition to rename !lies to !reddit
The Thunderbolts are entirely composed of super soldiers and people who aren't villains.
Ghost Powers in secret invasion so she might show up lol
I think Ghost got scrapped from the MCU after Ant-Man failed
That's what that whole Convo is about lol
They announced her after ant man 2 came out and she had nothing to do with 3.
Villains, but theyre gonna act like heros the entire time because marketability
Why is this convo happening in a spoiler chat?
There were rumors a few months ago she got written out but i BELIEVE those werent true
Secret Invasion is hopefully the kick in the ass marvel needs to slow down
See I disagree. You can make any character great
12 episodes of TV a year isn't "too much, too fast."
And even good characters are being wasted
It's just that they make these insane little shows with no point
Why did Loki matter?
My issue is that you go from one show to another to a movie to a show to another movie to another show and a special presentation with like, a couple weeks break
Arguably Loki is the most important one so far besides WandaVision
And that’s only important to explain why shes a bad guy in a movie that got rewritten
But it doesn't
Wanda isn't a bad guy at the end of Wandavision. In fact, the opposite was true
She unlearned the thesis statement of Wandavision between movies
Even in the post credits of Wandavision shes using dark magic though. At best she stopped torturing people who couldnt help her in anyway
So far, yeah
Ms Marvel had that little teaser
Uh. So far yeah
But that's fine. I think it's fine that you can watch the movies without the shows
I’m excited for The Marvels tbh, I haven’t watched this show yet
Cap 4 obviously will but thats not actually out and that one may be easier to explain. If you just saw endgame and then cap 4, youd be able to buy that hes Captain America
But if you went from Endgame to Strange 2, youd be lost
I was excited for the Marvels. I think it will fail like everything else does and Brie Larson won't be in anymore Marvel movies
And that will pretty much be the nail in the coffin for Marvel with me
I’m shocked that you think its going to fail
general audiences have no idea who 2 of the 3 main leads are
It wont flop, but it wont make as much as the first, but thats a given
All of my favorite characters are either dead (Natasha, Steve), ruined (Thor) or in limbo (Kate, Yelena, Jen, etc)
In complete fairness, guardians proved people dont actually have to know who they are
There's pretty much just Carol and Kamala left
Okay wait lets define fail, do we mean it’ll be bad or flop at box office?
Yelenas in thunderbolts at least
Yes
Flop at box office is very possible
Flop is possible, complete and total failure not a chance
I think its still likely going to be a good to decent film
We arent getting Flash or Indy level bombs yet
Only four movies have been remotely successful at the box office this summer.
And two of them were last weekend
The movie theater industry is undergoing a massive shift
Its going to be an interesting time
Because they’re over saturating the market with movies that are mid and will be streaming in a week
its gonna do worse than gotg vol3 and even that only made probably $300mil after marketing and budget
Nothings gonna make a billion on name alone anymore
Super Mario
Avatar will, somehow
and rightfully so
Actually I’d say the opposeite. Most things that make a billion will be on name alone, see Super Mario and Avatar TWOW
Both good to decent films, but they made the billion on brand recognition
Ok maybe i should rephrase, nothings gonna make a billion just because the last one did
Avatar didn't exactly have a masterful script or cast going for it
Again Avatar 
Guardians also has characters people like. There's a massive online campaign against the leads of The Marvels.
Avatar is James Camerons first movie in over a decade. Hes the exception
If he pumped out a sequel a year after as fast as possible, i cant imagine it would have been well received. Also its incredible so that alone woulda sold it
*First directing job
Didn’t direct this
Didn't know that lol
Like Marvel or Star Wars or Fast and Furious cannot survive on brand name alone
Especially when movie tickets are 17 dollars and peacock or disney plus will have the movie in a month
That was directed by everyone’s favorite Star Wars TV director Robert Rodriguez 
Loki
Ehhhhhh we saw a different Kang in Ant Man
I don’t think feige can cancel these shows
Multiverse
it did affect, but also without Loki same thing happens
Falcon hasn’t yet but Cap 4 is that, and She-Hulk will probably tie into Cap 4 too
But still if Loki never happened, Ant Man would have been the same movie
dr strange
unless US Agent comes back i doubt it
Wait is Ruffalo not even announced for Cap 4
I have a feeling all the "load bearing" shows are going to stay in the rotation, but all the shows with potential (because they don't tie into Kang Dynasty) will be axed.
Loki opens up the multiverse
No multiverse without loki so she would’ve been captured and stuck in tva
Is my assessment
but its moreso an explanation as to why there wasnt multiverse before
More so just the fact that Sam is Cap now
Endgame set it up
Look I’m not saying it’s a super good connection lol
I mean this is getting way off topic but didnt Deadpool technically travel the multiverse at the end of 2 which is apparently canon?
But Deadpool 2 may have taken place after Loki
iirc the MCU timeline is protected from other universes in Loki, until of course he breaks it
Remember that Loki takes place in a world outside of time
So it could have happened at any point (say, before Steve time travels in Endgame)
Fair enough
Well too bad, it's the next 5 years of stories they have
We could have had a movie where Yelena and Kate go on a mission together paralleling when Nat and Clint were partners, but instead here's 100 clones of Jonathan Majors at a rugby game
Alright I'm going to run away to #marvel-archive npw
Why is Wakanda forever a gross movie @toxic ingot
I don't personally see the "T'Challa dies of cancer off screen" cold open as a powerful tribute the way some other folks do. That the movie then leans all the way into death and grief as subject matter is... I don't really know how to articulate it.
The first BP also heavily features death as a story element. T'Chaka, N'Jobu, the whole Wakandan ancestral plane concept. But it feels like a movie about T'Challa and N'Jadaka and their grief, whereas this movie feels like the characters have to process someone else's grief.
Worst possible answer, which tracks for marvel lately
Rhodey has been a Skrull since ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR’, says director Ali Selim.
(Source: https://t.co/9is0qvYBWL)
313
This is the director agreeing with the “hospital gown and can’t walk” at the end meaning right after his crash at the airport
Oh why did he do that
Worst case scenario until they realize that sucks and change it
I’m still upset we saw 0 instances of them skrulling anyone
If he was a Skrull in Infinity War, why didn't he just kill the rest of the Avengers and nuke Earth during the blip?
This is the dumbest revelation possible and I hate it
Yeah the skrull turn was very recent
The real question is if the skrulls were in charge of all major world governments, except the US, why didn’t they push for a skrull community
Especially with new Asgard
RIP meaningful character relationships
I’m just gonna ignore the dude
Turns out Ali Selim also didn't watch any of the previous films/show, probably.
I wonder if they're going to modify Endgame on the platform and make it purple
Does this mean he doesn’t know Tonys dead?
I guess not, he doesn’t know shit
God I wish this was real
yeah i brought up the utter beating he takes in InfinityGame and doesn't show his skrull form?
This would legitimately be the biggest plot twist in history
And they fumbled it
also tony's suit software can't figure out he's not human? (i'm willing to hand wave this one)
Justice for skrull Terrence howard
I mean what purpose does it serve though
Skrull Rhodey is dead
Everything from rhodey in infinity war and endgame just doesn’t matter now lol
Someone should’ve stopped this dude
Im genuinely shocked they allowed such a sloppy twist to go down
Like if you wanna say hes been a skrull since after endgame, fine
Its dumb but whatever
But since Civil War is asinine
Feige must have been busy cause this sounds too stupid for him to gree light
Feige was too busy making a star wars movie to notice
Falcon for like a minute
previous to this show, do we see him walking unassisted without leg armor?
Ah whatever
He was busy pushing Blade back again when an intern showed up “Hey they want to make Rhodey a skrull and he’s one since Civil War”
“Huh who yeah whatever”
because that seems like the give away
I really think they just didnt even come up with a time frame for the switch to happen and just said civil war cause, why not
They didn’t come up with any of this, they’re just pulling it out of their asses
Id take Sam Rockwell back
this whole thing is like, 100% retcon material
"Oh hey, Skrull Tony actually died. also Skrull Black Widow"
Watch they’ll be like “you gotta watch rhodey’s behavior change between movies” and no it’ll just be Don Cheadle because they obviously didn’t plan this
I would’ve laugh my ass off
Tbh if they just quietly agree that this show never happened and none of the consequences matter they’d legitimately get away with it because nobody watched it
I mean if the director didn’t say shit
“They just took reeeeeeeally long to transform back”
Tom Holland gonna be super happy to have his daddy back
OR DID IT
If tony or natasha ever come back, even multiversal or skrull bs, ill stop watching Marvel all together
I mean we are going with nobody knows
Lbr They will in Secret Wars
Better not be
you really might wanna stop watching now then, because its going to happen
If they did that Tom Cruise other universe Iron Man, id be fine, but if RDJ or Scarlet come back im 100% done
only in his emmy nominated appearance in Falcon & Winter Soldier
infinity war he has the leg braces on, endgame he's in the suit pretty much the whole time i think right?
Why wouldnt skrull rhodey just take all the stones and do skrull things with them
RDJ and Evans will 100% be back for Secret Wars
at least as cameos
Skrulls had no agency until the show
They just infiltrated and then did nothing
And if they don't, that's what AI is for 
Honestly, I find it kind of offensive to refer to it as a “gross” movie. I just don’t think you got the right read on it. Like, let’s start with the basics:
- Cultural climate at the time won’t allow for him to be recast. And wouldn’t that have been more “gross” - to instantly march on with a recasting?
- If you don’t recast and you don’t acknowledge his death, how do you have a second movie? Not making a second movie isn’t a great option - 1) I don’t think that’s what Chadwick would have wanted and 2) it would have been a disservice to the fans.
- I think you’re basically forgetting that Ryan Coogler (and the rest of the cast/crew) were his friends. Ryan Coogler wrote the script - It’s him writing the script as a touching moment for his friend.
- It was also a way for the fans to pay tribute and grieve with them. What’s wrong with that? Chadwick Boseman / T’Challa meant a lot to people. Look at the response to BP 1 and actually why they couldn’t recast him.
- How should they have shown him on screen? Like Leia in Rise of Skywalker? Would that have been a better solution? IMO off screen is the only appropriate method.
- Also, they specifically avoided saying it was cancer - imo that’s intentionality and appropriate.
- Shuri’s arc in the movie is representative of the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
- It not shying away from strong emotions (in particular Angela Bassett) is IMO meaningful. It adds weight to the situation - they easily could have given it a quip and fucked off like other MCU movies. And once again, Angela Bassett was his friend.
- Also, to touch on your point regarding film 1. First off, what they did with his father’s death is part of his comic origin. The Black Panther character in the comics is intertwined with death. He is literally anointed “King of the Dead.” But also like, they couldn’t have predicted the future when they made that movie.
- IMO, I think it’s a pretty nuanced and well done tribute within the confines of an MCU movie. The fact that they were even able to do that speaks to the strength of the team involved.
- If you want to look at a movie that did ignore the elephant in the room - look to the Fast and Furious movies who have pretended that Brian is alive.
I’m not saying they could never recast him, but it’s one of those things there needs to be enough time between and at the time there wasn’t.
Anyway, if you don’t want to see a movie about grief, don’t watch Haunted Mansion. Grief is a forever part of the human experience and for many people expressing it in art is a cathartic form.
IMO it was gross that Disney used his death to elevate the character of Black Panther instead of honoring Chadwick as an individual
Sure, I think there's an argument to be made that maybe it should have never been made at all. I think that's valid but naïve under the capitalist machine. But I think for what it is - they handled the subject with grace.
Oh, to be clear: this is less about the sequel and more about making murals of him that were attached to BP and tying all of the tributes to "Wakanda"
There’s also a lot to be said though about what he meant for a lot of kids though.
I think it's tough because I think T'Challa in the MCU and him are very intertwined. and Wakanda as a concept means a lot to people - it's not my place to speak on that IMO.
This is such a stupid fucking choice.
I know many of my black friends T’Challa and just the concept of Wakanda in general meant a lot to them
He was pretty open about his growing disinterest in being reduced to an arms crossed gesture and Disney basically said "let's use that as the symbol of his legacy"
Like Wakanda being basically Africa without colonization is why Wakanda is important and why it continues to resonate with people. So Idk. I don't know if that's so much Disney
I mean the real sin was committed by the OSCARS anyway
I think Wakanda Forever is a good tribute to Boseman's memory. My bigger problem is Disney's overall commercializing of grief around it.
Yeah, I think that's fair.
but honestly Disney is going to continue to commercialize basically everything
You could take that view of Coco if you really wanted to
Nope keep commercializing that one
I think a key difference is Chadwick was an actual human and they said "come to this mural and please go shopping after"
Like that mural doesn't make me think they're honoring Chadwick, it makes me think they're honoring Black Panther
And that's what I feel gross over
You’ve honestly put a million times more thought into this than Disney ever did
Disney's last few years in a nutshell
(two days in a row btw where #marvel-archive doesn't exist lmao)
IMO that mural is acknowledging Chadwick as a person while acknowledging the impact he had as BP on other generations. The mural doesn't bother me, personally. I think doing something is better than doing nothing and everything Disney does is going to be through a capitalist lens, in all honesty.
I'm a skrull and am unaware of other channels that Bagel might've frequented
To be fair once a marvel show ends we kinda just use it as the most recent marvel thread with spoilers
I feel like they also did other things, but I can't say I followed the "Chadwick Boseman death pipeline" to really speak to it comfortably. And I don't want to google it lol
Even with the context of knowing Chadwick wasn't a fan of that pose?
Do you have any article stating this?
In which we look at the times when Chadwick Boseman tells use how tired he is of the Wakanda Forever Salute!

I can't watch that right now because I'm on a meeting
I tried to look up some stuff but all I found was articles saying Chadwick wasn’t a fan of replacing black panther with shuri
Also Bill Simmons podcast when he was interviewed and Bill asked outright if he was over it and Chadwick more-or-less was like "yea it's not my thing"
He wanted to be recognized for his other work and felt trapped in a pose
Yeah I mean that's every MCU actor
Honestly? But sometimes symbols transcend things
100%
How much is that an actor just not wanting to get typecast vs. actively hating the symbol?
But if you as a company know someone didn't love something and you said hey, let's do that exact thing to honor him
It feels wrong
Okay. Glad you liked it.

He literally says in that video that “there’s a lot of talk online about me not wanting to do it and it’s not true”
#1119794354819702805 message @ ~30-minutes
Yeah there’s nothing in that thing you linked lol
There are also multiple clips of him expressing disinterest/wanting to avoid it
The first video
He’s saying that he gets it a lot
Not that he doesn’t want the action associated with him
Disagree but if we interpet it differently I don't think we're going to shift one another's opinion on it
This article is sad because it's talking about him looking tired
Which is obviously because no one knew what was going on at the time
Yea, the articles pre-2020 are really sad in hindsight
That first justdenise video showed absolutely nothing that he hated it. That was pure clickbait shit.
tbh I think the dude was just tired / going through a lot / and tired of getting plagued by people wanting to do it outside his house. That doesn't mean he actually hated the symbol.
There's a huge difference between like not wanting to get bothered by fans and actively disagreeing with the salute.
I think that video + listening to how he speaks about it on the Simmons podcast is enough for me to be like "not the best way to honor him"
The clip around 30 min says he’s tired of doing it every time he sees someone
He literally says in there, with a bit of snide, "you can do it" when asked
Which is not the same again as “I don’t want this associated with me anymore”
And I would have hoped that Disney would have been smart enough to ask how his family felt about some of these things - in private
Or his "estate" whatever
Yeah him not wanting to do it every time fan photos isn’t the same again as “I don’t want this associated with me anymore@
He also says “if I wanna do it I’ll do it”
Again: we disagree and I think that's okay.
I do think it’s a bit much to ask people to comment based on your unique understanding of a situation
“Does it have to be definitive?” Uh yes it does
Dude is so disconnected
He must’ve watched inception too many times
how controversial of you
If they watched Endgame they would've known that when the building collapsed and he had to exit his suit, Rhodey couldn't use his legs then.
The skrull method acting even at the risk of death
Either the story people are shit about continuity or that skrull needs an award for committing to the bit.
Feel like skrull president but real rhodey that got suckered in would’ve been a much better plot point
Make Rhodey part of the good side of this thriller finding out it goes all the way to the top
And then trying to fix the system from within
Yeah you could still have him fighting fury but it comes off way better because it’s really rhodey
And then easy transition into Harrison ford as president
Hire fans
I genuinely believe the director didn’t watch any of the MCU movies
Or any movie
And I just saw something that they won't read bad reviews about their work.
How does one expect to change for the better without accepting criticism.
Anyway she-hulk remains in the top for Disney+ marvel shows
Who hired this guy
“I don’t read reviews. With all due respect. For me, I view all the storytelling work I do as a dialogue with an audience. When the show is finished and put up on the screen, that’s my half of the dialogue. And the audience then starts their half of the response to it. I think that’s valuable, but I don’t know how to answer the question.”

How do you have a "dialogue with an audience" when you don't read or listen to what they're saying? This guy ...
Once again I'm left wondering "why would Filoni do this?"
might as well say "I will take your money, make something, and then claim no responsibility if it's good or not. Who wants to hire me?"
i keep coming back to how BAD this show was, and yet twisted metal is actually GOOD
Fury: "It's personal, I gotta clean this up."
Makes it substantially worse
Leaves
Tbf he did make it better for the humans
is it 'better' if people are going around randomly shooting people like the salem witch trials?
Better than nuclear winter
We still don't know if New Asgard is apart of his targeting though probably since he said all aliens.
"Its personal, but also I'm not going to actualy have a final confrontation with this person and I'm just gonna go shoot some guys in a hospital instead"
How long did it take y’all to know it wasn’t fury
the limp and coughing
Guessing we will never mention new Asgard again
because Fury knows how radiation works even if the writers don't
I figured it probably wasn't immediately and was putting on a show for security
They had a long shot of him outside after he kills the first two guards
I was like hmmm this don’t feel right
I don't understand Giah's plan at all
I don't think she has one now
'I'm gonna go there, hope he keeps me/fury alive and inside the machine, then i'm gonna master the powers MUCH faster than him, and then we punch it out"
Yeah idk
Me, sorry
I should’ve known after your Ava Max comment
Im just in a silly goofy mood
#SecretInvasion director Ali Selim has teased Emilia Clarke & Olivia Colman's potential future in the #MCU:
"You can see [the finale] as a cliffhanger for future [projects] or as a lovely resolution..." Full quote: https://t.co/zAxLAPd7vf
982
goddamn this director fuckin sucks lmao
he's trying to do the "i'm playing both sides so i always come out on top" thing and losing on both every time
"The finale is a cliffhanger or a resolution"
great answer there bud, A+
I see the finale as dog shit
So those guys Fury and Olivia Coleman killed were just active members of the Secret Service
Did they kill them though? I recall it looking like non-lethal tranqs.
They knocked them out
Only one that died was skrull Rhodey
So technically they could be skrulls
Fury tranquilized them
Yeah he had the tranq if you watch
I guess I was too riveted by the action and drama
Maybe you need to get your eyes checked
Maybe you were confused why the president was being moved by his military attaché? And there was no secret service guy in charge
Among many other problems with than scene
Idk what Rhodey was to the president
Special advisor it seems
fuckin crazy how they didn't even bother to really match that makeup on fury in this
“Captain Marvel makes previous movies worse with THIS plot twist”
didn't people legitimately have that take
Good thing for me I was literally planning an eye appointment an hour ago lol
It's that time of the year
I just went to the stupid eye doctor and had to get stupid glasses and my stupid ass picked oakleys and now i look stupid
That experience was still better than any of secret invasion
ride or die ray-bans
except i currently have these shitty fuckin wire frame thing from zenni
I go through a period every couple years where i decide i should wear glasses for two weeks, then i lose them and then i stop until its time for my next appointment
Last pair was ray bans
I wish i just got them again they made me look cool
Ray-Ban usually but Nike has a real nice pair #marvel-archive-shades (gotta keep on topic)
I need some secret invasion ray bans
They could have like….idk…rhodey on them or something
i get why the focus is on Rhodey but it's very funny that i've seen not a single person asking how long Ross was a skrull
right? suddenly he has an out for being kidnapped by wakanda cause it was a skrull instead 
Wow
Rood
wack
It’s not even a horrible idea
Just do it in a movie
Where you actually have the budget
So dumb
Funny asf too because there’s like 3 dudes who have the same powers as drax but stronger
Does Drax even have powers
I thought he was just strong
Like hes just a muscular alien
Was hulk DNA in it?? Doesn’t that fuck people up
Clearly Hulk DNA in a cocktail mix is fine, but Hulk blood will fuck you up
She used Hulk Hands to punch him at the very start of the fight.
but she hulk show told me that was bad, which is it Marvel?!?
She’s immune to gamma RADIATION
Did you even watch the SHOW
Wait if she’s immune to radiation shouldn’t the hulk power just be nullified
This show gets worse the more I think about it
Just need to stop
Putting the hulk dna in it is really bad
lol stop thinking about it
Thank you Neko lol
That’s not how Haterbog works
We have all put more thought into this than anyone at Marvel
Hire fans
Hulk isn't powered by radiation he's powered by the super soldier serum he was testing
Shit at least hire people who have actually seen the previous movies and shows
They tried to activate it with gamma rays instead of vita rays and the rest is history
(It won't)
Like hulk blood has been a plot point in multiple things lol
Well they did and one of them said “We’re gonna have a Super Skrull fight and all superpowers are fair game…”
I like how half the time filmmakers are all, We wont do marvel because Disney controls the whole process, and then all the people who actually make the projects are always like, yeah so Feige just let me do whatever as long as we had a three second cameo
Maybe if we knew either of the characters for more than half a show it would have had more impact
He’s barely had any hits with D+
I LOVE TALOS
Actually his death on Twitter was what made me want to watch the show
And then Maria Hill died and I was like “Well nvm”
So I guess now the Skrulls are accurate to their comic book counterparts in that they're all interchangeable
!who talos? 
Bye Neko
The more time passes the funnier this gets
【QRT of Mike Murphy (@mcwm):】
'there have now been three Marvel movies that have taken place since Eternals, and somehow no one has once mentioned how the Earth now has this dude sticking out of it https://t.co/oIU9FrHJZO'
💖 10663
I suppose you could somehow argue that the governments or whatever covered it up, but didn’t whatever big dudes name was also appear on earth for a minute to grab them or something? Like did nobody talk about the giant robot alien that popped up?
You cant remotely hide that lol
you can cover that up lol, every plane flying would see it
Make the planes fly around or something idk
im thinking of how the MCU is gonna try and justify not mentioning this
And i really think the answers gonna be as shitty as, we diverted planes and boats
how tf did nobody ever mention this
Minor spoilers; it’s gonna be relevant in cap 4
I mean that’s localized
If leaks are correct, which they usually are
I guess the enternal is small then?
We see him outside earth and he’s noticeably bigger, theres no way half the world didnt see that shit
Skrulls did it
And even if its localized, arent they in like, London?
Im not gonna pretend ive been to London, but I assume they have phones with cameras 
I mean you can’t see shit more than like 1-2 miles id you are ground level
And it went away right
After like 20 seconds maybe, he pulls her and talks to her and is all, OH IM GONNA BE BACK AND JUDGE YALL
Speaking of shit thatll never be followed up on, whens harry styles coming back
I mean I generally agree with you
Its just a giant skrull swimming
Harry Styles and Brett Goldstein will never been seen in the MCU again
Relevant in an “huh isnt that weird” way or relevant in a “this is the entire plot of the movie” way
Hercules and…Harry Styles are gonna both nod at each other during some battle in secret wars i can feel it
Maybe both get shot to write them out or something idk
More than minor spoilers ||potentially the entire plot. Supposedly Val’s whole thing is gonna be racing for control of Tiamut’s body as the source of adamantium||
Every mcu movie or show i watch i just wait for Patton Oswalts character to start telling some joke offscreen just for the camera to pan to him and be some major reveal even though everyone forgot who he was
Wait ||i thought thats what thunderbolts was about||
Something about this criticism just makes me violently mad
like what do people want
I want some news anchor in the background talking about it at the very least
Nick Fury to say some shit like “the big dude coming out of the ocean was crazy”
Or like a briefing that gets interrupted
For them to stop setting things up and actually move the story along
There’s a lotta ways to do it that don’t impact the story they want to tell
But also show that it’s happening in the same world
I mean they’re gonna resolve the story eventually
Theyve set up like a dozen things that I genuinely dont think theyll ever get around to making though
I just find the namedrop stuff very corny if it’s not in like she hulk or something where it makes sense
Every time they mention the battle of New York does it bother you lol
Id rather they make a follow up to the existing stories than make an entirely new one that goes nowhere
I dont want some fanservicey nod that the eternals happened, i want an actual follow up
not really since it just feels a lot more natural when it’s been brought up (outside of the Netflix shows)
If fury just casually mentioned “hey theres some big dude in the ocean lol” id be just as upset
Why do we need to be shackled to the bad movies when we can just ignore them and tell good stories instead?
EG: This is going to suck so hard in Cap 4, that they have to stop the movie dead in its tracks to in some way reference this movie nobody watched.
It was Kevin Feige's idea to do the #SecretInvasion Super Skrull fight
"[He] said, 'We’re gonna have a Super Skrull fight and all superpowers are fair game"
The finale is currently the lowest-rated MCU episode ever with an 8% on Rotten Tomatoes

didnt even realize gravik has abomination ear lol
“Don’t matter got paid”
“Fuck you got my money”
the editors of the making of for this have their work cut out
if they even do one lmao
This is the blessing/curse of a connected and shared universe
Whenever you leave something out, it’s going to feel bad/like a miss
In a way it’s the Superman/Captain Marvel problem at scale. How do you appropriately develop threats when there are heroes out there who can kind of One Punch Man them into oblivion
