I'm Not Messing Around, I'm Doing Important Stuff in The Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

[Spider-Fan]

Let's hear it!

Since they can't use the Wreckage of Time, my pitch is rip off Mortal Kombat.

I dont have like a full breakdown of stakes and stuff, but essentially, Shang-Chi (and Katie whom will be with him when this happens) gets taken to a pocket dimension where the Champion is holding a tournament for various Marvel characters to earn the right to fight him. Likely cause he is bored and wants to find someone worthy of fighting him. I would have the Collector and Grandmaster be living with him after their respective exiles also for fun cameos. Also mix of returning and new fun cameos in the tournament here. Ends with Shang-Chi challenging the Champion.

Also would have a subplot where Katie is forced into becoming one of the Champion's like 13 wives, and she has utter contempt for him. But it only makes the Champion more attracted, but Katie tries to lead an uprising against him with the wives, but of course we have 1 who is the Queen Bee and wants to expose her rebellion.

I call this Shang-Chi and the Contest of Champions

I look forward to my check Kevin

Recasting Luke Cage and Danny wouldn’t have hurt.

Leave sexy priest man alone.

Sidebar, and I don’t know where you live in the world, but it is Memorial Day Weekend and it is so friggin cold in NYC!

There’s supposed to be barbecues and warm weather mayhem and fun movies at the box office (well there are) but it’s just so damn cold!

I’m sorry but that was on my heart.

Thanks for coming to my Weather Report.

I know it's probably just the video compression but her face looks CGI-altered in so much of this it just makes it more hilarious, like they had to also digitally add facial expressions onto her.

I'm surprised "Enough!" didn't make it in there.

 

[Lily Adler]

Mike Colter AND Finn Jones both posted on social that theyre in New York…yeah…i think theyre both back guys.

Yeah man this weather's some bulls***
Feels like for the past year we've been stuck in these endless weather patterns
November drought with wildfires, then February an endless string of snow, now May is cold and rainy for the past month straight
I'd sell my soul to mephisto for a single nice weekend before it turns balls hot

 

[Babillygunn]

You are on a damn roll today LMAO.

Hear me out though, Luke Cage Season 2 is crazy underrated to me. But not because of Colter, it's the efforts of that lovely, lovely supporting cast. I want more Nightshade dammit!

Agreed!

I’m currently planning a blow-the-roof-off-the-joint graduation block party for my oldest son on Memorial Day and there’s an 80% chance of storms.

But I am convinced that the weather will cooperate simply out of it’s legitimate fear of pissing me off.

Remember you have to do it for all of them.

 

[chamber-music]

I agree with y’all Colleen needs to come back.

And if Finn is back they need to totally rewrite his character. Maybe, just maybe under new creative direction Finn can breathe new life into Danny. Maybe.

The show is in the same continuity so they could easily say Danny matured over the years with his experiences travelling.

Finn was actually pretty good in the Luke Cage season 2 team up episode. Less doofus misguided young man and more zen wise martial artist.

Finn Jones also attends the Cons and has said he is aware of the criticism of his performance. He has said he would do better with the role if he got the chance again.

I'm right there with you man.

But seriously this weather sucks and it's so dreary. TPTB need to quit playing with the climate.

Congratulations to the oldest Gunn son!

The weather will cooperate and you'll throw a kick ass graduation party, POSITIVITY!!

Truth.
I’m going to the butcher after work and getting 15 lbs of beef brisket and 10-15 lbs of pork butt. I’m going to be smoking bbq for over 24 hours starting Sunday morning.

Now you're just rubbing it in.

That sounds amazing. Can never go wrong with some brisket.

I don't believe Anthony is a real person. He's a robot that Joe has around him.

I live in North Jersey and the weather’s been messed up this whole week and this weekend is not looking good for the holiday

“Rubbing it in…” I see what you did there.

 

[mclay18]

Exactly.

This December switch just goes to show they're going to use ALL their Disney voodoo to make sure these two movies are back to back 2 billionaires.

I think the Avengers delays to mid December 2026 and 2027 is smart. Disney gets more bragging rights over December opening weekend numbers like they did with the SW films and Avatar.

And WBD should be looking at expediting post production on Supergirl and push it up to May 1, 2026.

Ok down to the last 3 episodes of Andor and I'm kind of loving it finally.

I still feel like I get lost in the dialogue sometimes with all the political machinations and sometimes I cant keep up with character names that get dropped casually but this is really, really, well done overall.

Also what was the budget on this thing because Holy Moly, the money is on the screen here. This show looks expensive AF.

Building full sets and filming in Spain and the UK. The behind the scenes video had Luna in the cockpit of Tie fighter and controls are fully moveable. They made everything tactile.

High quality streaming shows don't sound profitable.

There also prioritized where the budget went and scrapped things they couldn't afford. Also Gilroy actually said he thinks the The Volume is great for many things but the reason he didn't use it is that the work flow is the opposite to when you're using real sets (with The Volume the post production has to be done first, which was problematic for him. That doesn't really have anything to do with the budget but it shows that he wasn't thinking that physical sets are always better.

Flipping through the channels, and I am reminded, why should I be interested in FF when The Incredibles exist?
