Legion of Doom or Masters of Evil? Which will we see on screen first?

[pr0xyt0xin]

Place your bets ladies and gentlemen. Legion of Doom/Injustice League has already been teased. But the DCEU is having some issues. Marvel hasn't really made a mention to the Masters of Evil/Thunderbolts but the MCU is still churning out 3 movies a year. So never mind what the evil team is called. Here's the heart of the question:

Do you think we will see Justice League take on a team of supervillains first? Or will Avengers beat them to the punch?

Vote and discuss.

Oh good, another vote/poll in which Marvel fans can beat the DC crowd with a shovel till there's a 90% / 10% split.

Marvel fans?

I’m a DC fan.

Pass me the ****ing shovel.

Justice League isn’t going to clear 650 million, thanks to Zaddy and the brain trust at WB. Marvel made 800 million on a film with a talking raccoon.

The Legion Of Doom isn’t happening any time soon, given that the DCEU is probably going down the toilet (deservedly). I expect we’ll see Masters Of Evil right after the 100 million dollar Moon Knight movie.

Well you could always find a way to create some sort of vote/poll that has Nolans trilogy in it.

But, you never know. DC did do a villains first movie with Suicide Squad and marvel has a habit of killing off their villains quick fast and in a hurry.

Still... Zemo is one of the villains that has survived and the original members of the MOE haven't been introduced yet.

I vote Masters of Evil since I'm a Marvelite.

I'm not sure that we'll see either. The future of the DCEU is in flux, and the MCU has done nothing to build or suggest that a MoE group is even possible.

 

[marvelrobbins]

neither.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

No idea if it will include the Masters of Evil or not, but based on recent box office results we will almost certainly get more Avengers films before a JL2 so I voted for it.

We're already getting 2 more.

 

[Tony Stark]

The DCEU is dead at this point. They will make Aquaman and WW2, and the Batman solo movie, but I think the DCEU is on permanent hiatus for the moment.

Yeah, I'm more of a DC fan too. I grew up on Super Friends, Reeve's Superman, Keaton's Batman, Zero Hour, Superman/Doomsday, Knightfall, Emerald Twilight, Kingdom Come, etc.

Still doesn't change the fact that Marvel has put out 10 years of great content while the DCEU has only one great movie (Wonder Woman). I don't want it to be this way, but it is.

 

[Pennywise]

Accidentally voted LOD, meant to vote for Masters of Evil! Lol!

Thanks to Zaddy? It was Whedon and WB who totally f***ed up. Check out all the changes they've made to the film and they had the audacity to slap "a movie by Zack Snyder" over it.

Snyder made BvS. It was terrible. Course correction needed for JL. Course correction was terrible. Both to blame.

Though, the lack of oversight by WB execs contributed to BvS’s failure, as has been made clear in the El Maybe article.

 

[Zant]

With all this retirement and death talk, its a shame the masters of evil may not even fight the core Avengers...

Yup. And even without WB's interference, Scott Mendelsohn correctly predicted that BVS' box office dropoff and critical reception indicated the sequel was going to make way less money, which often happens to sequels of critically panned movies.

But back on topic I Think the Legion of Doom could work. In fact it's probably what they should have done in the first place. In hindsight, trying to assemble the Justice League to fight a CGI alien invasion was not a smart idea, as it inevitably draws comparisons to the Avengers right out of the gate. I mean, the concept of a team of superheroes was always gonna do that, but they could at least have had their first movie deal with a different threat.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Clearly Legion of Doom was the intention for JL2, but that won't happen. I don't see the Masters of Evil happening anytime soon. I actually think the Thunderbolts will end up happening first, thus kind of killing the MoE idea a little.

Is there a neither option, LOL!

 

[Rorschach2012]

I've never understood the Masters of Evil. Marvel has so many great villains that could populate that team, but it's always a bunch of D-listers and Baron Zemo.

Legion of Doom is a far better team, and I'd be way more interested in seeing them onscreen.

That said, I don't see a Justice League sequel happening any time soon, so I've gotta go with the Masters of Evil .

I was looking for that as well.
