Marvel One-Shots

[Dr. Evil]

I didn't read the comic, but that's good to know. I'm not really sure how accurate the prequel comics are to movie canon but I doubt they'd dig themselves into a hole. In actuality, as the One-Shot states, the Ten Rings were dormant until their name was thrown into the spotlight because of Killian/Trevor. This AHTK focuses on their response to what happened in IM3 and opens the door to a resolution/continuation of their story.

The gist of the IM 3 Prequel comic was essentially "where the hell was War Machine when the Battle of New York in the Avengers was going on."

Spoiler

I believe the comic ends when Rhodey shows up to the Avengers eating Schwarma.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I hope one of these next two (before Age of Ultron comes out) is a Hawkeye One-Shot. Just a little thing about what he's been up to

That would be good.

Hopefully Marvel has a One shot involving the Warriors Three or even Heimdall as the one shot for Thor: TDW. I hope it does not involve Darcy.

A retcon is an alteration of previously established facts. Let's break this down:

Opinion, not fact

"Claims" not fact

They're dealing with it now, shortly after they discovered where Trevor was and how they could get to him

Opinions, not fact

Opinion, not fact. How can you prove a negative?

...seriously? You think "Raza was shown being the leader in IM1" is an opinion? You think the claims characters make about their deeds and identities are opinions?

That's like saying "there's no Iron Fist in the MCU because he hasn't shown up in a movie so he doesn't exist"

...that's true, though. If there were an Iron Fist in the MCU you could show him to me, he'd have his own forum on this site, and an actor would appear next on his wikipedia page. The MCU is made up of the movies and one shots and comics and TV shows put out by Marvel Studios, not what fans imagine outside of those productions, that's called fanfiction.

To answer your question, you prove a negative by setting bounds or parameters. You can't say there is no Iron Fist anywhere, but you can say there is no Iron Fist produced by Marvel Studios in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I can't prove that no one has a orange and purple polka dot car, but I can prove that no one in my neighborhood has a such a car.

Before AHTK, there was no "the real mandarin," in the MCU, no indication is given that Killian didn't make up the Mandarin with the rest of the plan. When pressed about such a concept, the filmmakers referred to Killian himself, and the infamous line as the last word on the subject. After AHTK, there is a "the real Mandarin" in the MCU.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I never got the indication Raza was the leader of the Ten Rings. Leader of that particular branch/sect and high ranking member overall perhaps, but not the ultimate head honcho.

He's been announced for Netflix, but that's it. No cast, no crew, no directors yet. While we don't know if the Defenders series will connect to the MCU, I would think that there will be MCU connections between the Netflix shows and the movies, although probably subtle. All Hail the King can easily connect the Netflix shows with the MCU with the quickest of ease. It's a lot simpler than figuring out how to introduce Misty Knight (Bionic arm or no bionic arm when we are first introduced to her?) into the shows.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Well I really enjoyed the one shot. Has me very excited as to what we could possibly see.

 

[Shakel92]

I'd love a one-shot when Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. comes out on blu ray.

 

[MiffaLadd_]

I really enjoyed it. Good fun and loved the post credits cameo.

Was cool to hear the Liverpool Echo mentioned as I live a 5 minute train ride away and go to a university there.

Drew Goddard is writing/directing the first ep and is the series' showrunner

Yes, the Netflix shows are in continuity with the MCU just like Agents of SHIELD which is why Joss Whedon is godfathering them

All Hail the King can easily connect the Netflix shows with the MCU with the quickest of ease.

Agreed, and I truly think that's what they're gonna do

Neither did I. He never said he was, and no one else did either. That's all assumption as far as I can tell.

In retrospect, I think Ten Rings in IM1 is just a shell of its former self already. The buck may or may not stop with Raza, but there was never any indication that he answered to a higher power. Raza called his own shots, and that ****-up is what caused Iron Man (and pretty much the entirety of the "Heroic Age" in the MCU) to be born.

Ten Rings in AHTK seems to be better organized than the Taliban-like hajjis and warlord of IM1. The implication could be either that

a)*this* Ten Rings that we're seeing now has been the actual core of the organization, "sleeping" for god knows how long, and are only now emerging with a vengeance to repair the damage that Tony Stark and Trevor Slattery have done to the cause; or

b) *this* Ten Rings that we're seeing now are remnants of the group that Tony defeated in IM1 and the IM2 prequel; and, as survivors, represent the best that was left of the group. In which case Real Mandarin is likely a brand new guy who's just seeking to restore "honor" to the name.

Agree with all of this.

In terms of the highlighted part, we'll see if he's even a person

Which makes sense since the series' will be running back to back, not simultaneously. Once they get the ball rolling on DD we'll see how fast they want to roll the others out

I put my money on "b", because its the option that is a hell of a lot less pandering. Also, it doesn't mean Killian wasn't the "real Mandarin". Because Killian is a hell of a lot more like the Mandarin than some random terrorist leader.

 

[Bert]

In regards to the desire for the Hawkeye One-Shot. I'd like throw in my two cents. I think The Hulk sequel, which should happen, should heavily feature Hawkeye like Cap 2 will heavily involve Black Widow. They should pair up in my opinion, with Banner/Hulk taking the lead.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I agree. Hopefully they could develop an A:EMH type relationship

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

seen it, loved it

but it did get me thinking is there a way to have it turn our trevor is the actual mandarin, false memorys maybe something like that. i just think kingsley could really pull off the ultimate badass with the role

No idea. Maybe. The Mandarin is a real entity though, that's now established. So unless he chooses to use Trevor as his "spokesman" (which seems to go against The Ten Rings being an in-the-shadows organization) or his vessel then he'll probably just kill him.

Melissa Rosenberg will be the showrunner for Jessica Jones. She was supposed to be the head writer and showrunner for Jessica Jones when it was going to be an ABC series about 3 years ago.

Other than that, there hasn't been any news regarding any of the series.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Once they introduce Eddie Brock it would be cool for Sony to do a Brock one-shot like that indie one out there.

Nice! Perfect choice. Must have missed that when I was on holiday. News breaks so damn fast nowadays it's hard to keep up

I heard about that.

As for Luke Cage, I cannot wait until the Black Blogs are outraged that a Black Showrunner isn't involved in Luke.

They should get Tarantino just to piss of Spike Lee
