Infinity War Can & Should The Defenders appear in the Infinity War movies?

[doink]

So, based on Joe's comments...

2008 - Marvel's shared universe is great, but we can't have everybody in the MCU movies because so many of the rights are tied up with other studios

2015 - Marvel's shared universe is great, but we can't have everybody in the MCU movies because we do have a lot of the rights back, but we've split the ones we got back into movies and TV, which are controlled by different entities within Marvel

Marvel just recreated the studio madness that they just started to resolve by getting the rights back from other studios, but now the issue is in-house rather than external?

W.T.F.

I blame Perlmutter.

More like "the TV side is run by Loeb and others, the movie division doesn't directly control it, so that makes crossovers with both sides a bit more complicated but anything is possible."

 

[Asteroid-Man]

If Daredevil doesn't show up in Infinity War I'm gonna flip all of the tables.

 

[MbJ]

Again we know everything is connected.

What does that mean, exactly? Yeah it's connected but the TV shows have been a one way street for a while.

I get the feeling Marvel will pull out all the stops to make sure Infinity Wars gross the most out of any Marvel film.

From Joe

this sounds like a very diplomatic way of saying "no"

to be perfectly honest, one could make a solid argument that DD/JJ are both better than anything marvel studios has done outside of TWS/GotG/IM1

the netflix stuff is basically their "HBO." it's mature, it's smart, it's well-written/acted and doesn't suffer from MCU 3rd act syndrome that more people have become aware/critical about (although ant-man was a nice change-up)

but there was an interview after DD came out that feige hadn't watch the series yet, which disappoints me, b/c as the head of of the movies i feel like he's missing a huge opportunity to integrate talent into their movies and elevate them even more

now that perlmutter is out, i hope the netflix stuff gets taken a look at by feige because it's arguably the best live-action stuff marvel has ever done

let's just leave agents of poo out of the movies though t:

Yes, of course the Defenders should appear in IW, along with AOS. If they don't, then what's the point of having a shared universe, anyway?

Exactly. The 2nd part of Infinity War should serve the same purpose as the finale episode of JLU, "Destroyer", a celebration of all that has come before. Except the MCU will (hopefully) keep on trucking, unlike the late, lamented DCAU. I want to see every hero from film, ABC and Netflix up on the big screen, even if they are only cameo appearances.

And I want my mid credit to be a reveal that the FF have entered the modern MCU universe and a superhero poker game post credit. Is that too much to ask?

 

[MbJ]

To get people to watch a show they'd otherwise have no interest in.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

The Defenders should fill the huge void left after Infinity War 2 is over with.

It will be a huge event to see all four of them in a movie together.

Seeing them all in Infinity War 2 would kill the build up and anticipation.

I can wait till phase 4 for the Defender movie event.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

The Defenders will already have had their huge event on Netflix. For me, the build-up and anticipation comes from eventually seeing them in Infinity War. They should have parts in Infinity War, while other super-groups like the Inhumans, Midnight Sons, FF(hopefully) etc. get phase 4 movie debuts.

The Netflix shows are something different and are obviously edgier, but I wouldn't trade out the movie for the tv shows any day of the week. They're too fun.

A lot of people like to blame Pearlmutter for everything, and I get it's popular to hate on the guy for obvious reasons, but not everything is his fault. Honestly, I think Marvel fans are spoiled. What Marvel has done, with creating a connected universe within the movies is unprecedented. Yet, you still hear people wining about the Defenders probably not showing up in IW, or that the Avengers haven't had their reunion with Coulson, or why hasn't Avengers Tower replaced the Metlife building in Jessica Jones.

Oh, and now people are complaining about Kevin Feige, or as some people have called him "Our Lord and Savior", has not seen Daredevil yet. I imagine Feige is one of those people that never sleeps at night, because he's always up at night perfecting his craft. I mean, just look at everything Marvel Studios has given us, and starting in 2017, Marvel will be putting out 3 movies a year.

Seriously though, there will already be so much going on in Infinity War, that I'd rather Marvel focus on getting the movie characters right before even thinking about the tv side of things. The Russos start filming in less than a year, and Marvel still needs to cast Carol Danvers as well as other characters crucial to the story.

I don't like your "Agents of Poo" comment. Regardless of what you may think of the show, many people like it, and AOS are far more important in-universe characters than The Defenders, and Coulson actually has a tie to the movie side of things, being that Shield agent who was the connective tissue to the heroes in phase 1.

The Defenders should fill the huge void left after Infinity War 2 is over with.

It will be a huge event to see all four of them in a movie together.

Seeing them all in Infinity War 2 would kill the build up and anticipation.

I can wait till phase 4 for the Defender movie event.

Here are a list of heroes that will probably get sequels in phase 4:

1. Guardians of The Galaxy
2. Ant-Man and Wasp
3. Doctor Strange
4. Spider-Man
5. Black Panther
6. Captain Marvel
7. Inhumans("A franchise which could spin off into a series of franchises." -K. Feige.)

Yeah, that's sequels for SEVEN franchises in phase 4. I don't see this huge void that you speak of, and the Defenders needing to fill it.

 

[ernesth100]

Well from the news we seeing so far they wont. Sad, but oh well what can ya do?

 

[ernesth100]

I love hoq this entire thread died when they found out the Defenders and other TV heroes werent appearing.

 

[Kermit_The_Frog]

That's a shame. I was really hoping that they'd appear.

 

[Zarex]

"It's complicated" isn't confirmation that the TV heroes won't be appearing in Infinity War. Spidey's situation was much more complicated and he'll be appearing alongside the Avengers this spring.
