Rosa Salazar was going to play Diamondback and was going to be part of the Serpent Society.
Just need an evil billionaire trying to steal government secrets to enrich themselves.
SEQUEL!Just need an evil billionaire trying to steal government secrets to enrich themselves.
I can’t say how happy I am that, The Leader was NOT, A BIg Green Head!The Leader's design was not comic accurate.
But it wasn't bad. It looked scary, and what someone would picture a "gamma mutated but just from the brain" could look like.
Had they gone with a more comic accurate look, as in the concept art, not only would it be harder to take him seriously in the scenes he was in. I feel like we'd have another Modok situation where he looks so odd he's massively mocked online.
They should do that to every Mcu live action show. I really can't find the interest to rewatch these mcu shows even if its just 6 to 9 episodes and not get bored.Someone should edit that show into a 2-hour movie. If it isn't already out there somewhere.
Oh Lord. I haven't seen those before and this just opened a can of worms for me.View attachment 122716

Things cut from this movie I want to know more about: 1. Who was the funeral for (Ross?)? 2. What was Rosa Salazar's character doing in the movie?
Loki beig the one exception.They should do that to every Mcu live action show. I really can't find the interest to rewatch these mcu shows even if its just 6 to 9 episodes and not get bored.
And then it completely ****s the bed with the villains' subplot and the finale.I'm rewatching The Falcon and the Winter Soldier again too and I still believe that, overall, it is still the best version of what an actual movie-to-tv show should look and feel like. You have the big action set pieces but also the more intimate, smaller moments that you don't get on a big MCU movie. And John Walker is a genuine interesting character.
if FATWS had been better received it would've probably been a much better idea to give us season 2/Captain America and the Winter Soldier
Include some of these same beats, start the season with a Serpent Society arc, slowly plant the seeds of Leaders return, set up Sam and Bucky for their roles in Doomsday and Thunderbolts, and have the final third deal with President Red Hulk
Or maybe...
They could've strived to write a genuinely good shooting script first, and then gone into production with a solid director attached.
I hear yaMarvel had the right idea to not sideline it's Captain America to its streaming service; it's a big-screen character.
If anything, I think you could make the argument that FATWS and Black Widow should have swapped places, i.e. FATWS the first theatrical film to follow-up Endgame. And BW would have been a 6-episode miniseries that explored Natasha's backstory (and teased the formation of the Thunderbolts*).
But having rewatched FATWS this weekend after seeing BNW, I actually think it's aged quite well
Filmmakers don't set out to make bad movies. Bad movies happen for a variety of reasons. So the Russos may well intend to make Avengers Doomsday/Secret Wars into amazing epics that will make Ben-Hur or Lawrence of Arabia look amateur by comparison. But that has no bearing on the quality we are going to get, and I have every reason to believe based on the data I have that Doomsday will be worseI trust the Russo brothers to know better not to make a movie in levels of Brave New World. I don't expect them to top their previous mcu movies, but I would be shocked if its in rotten/B minus territory.
Dan Murrell is a reviewer I usually side on. His opinions and arguments are always pretty much aligned with mine. So this was a welcome surprise.
