MCU: The Marvel Cinematic Universe Official Discussion

[Tymminator]

Spectrum, Ms. (Captain) Marvel, Wasp, White Tiger, Mockingbird, Tigra and Mantis I would LOVE to see.

 

[Xeno]

I'm just glad she has a code name, new costume and in a book again.

What book is Monica in now?

 

[Tymminator]

The Mighty Avengers.

 

[Loki882]

She-Hulk is getting a new series in February, written by Charles Soule (excellent choice btw). It'd be cool to see her at some point, but I kind of doubt that it will happen.

 

[Hawkingbird]

I want to see a decent Avengers animation series again

 

[Mr. Dent]

Won't be getting that for anytime soon. :[

I was actually watching some of Avengers Assemble, and while it's not bad per se', it's not Earth's Mightiest Heroes by a long shot.

 

[Tymminator]

I really miss Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

 

[Xeno]

I really miss Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

Everybody misses EMH. Damn Jeph Loeb!

 

[lozzy.94]

I use to follow EMH religiously. I was so crushed when i found out it was cancelled.

 

[Dark Raven]

I stopped following Avengers Assemble after about 3 or 4 episodes. It's not even close to A:EMH.

 

[Xeno]

I watched one episode of Avengers Assembled and never wasted another second on it.

 

[Lord]

I watch Avengers Assemble for the fights

 

[Hawkingbird]

Everybody misses EMH. Damn Jeph Loeb!

 

[Frico]

This.

 

[Xeno]

The Mighty Avengers.

Is it any good? As in, if it were a choice between that issue and a venti mocha cappuccino, which would you buy?

 

[Tymminator]

I'm giving it a chance, but even then it's a mixed bag with characters and concepts I like with concepts and characters I don't.

It's using Monica, which I love and has the Blue Marvel, another character that for whatever reason I also like. White Tiger will be there, so that's another character I like. Cage is there with that young Powerman (I'm on the fence about this new Powerman).

It's only one issue in and the team is not fully formed but I know it's going to be tied to this "Infinity" crossover business, and I myself am weary of crossovers, PLUS they will have Spider-Ock on the team and the whole concept behind that...well it's just not my thing. Let's just say I used to really love Spidey as he was a character I could relate too, and for many years now relatable is just not the word I can use with him personally.

So I guess that's my long winded way to say YMMV.

 

[Tymminator]

Oh yeah, I think She-hulk is going to be on this team too.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So what name is Monica using this time?

 

[Loki882]

Monica's new codename is Spectrum. I quite like it and her new costume.

 

[Loki882]

Oh yeah, I think She-hulk is going to be on this team too.

She-Hulk is also getting her own solo book in February, written by Charles Soule. Marvel is also releasing a collector's edition or Slott's run. Vol. 1 is available for pre-order on Amazon for $26.59.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Speaking of Marvel TV shows, these are the networks owned by Disney where they could put their TV projects:

- ABC
- ABC Family
- A&E (half owner)
- Lifetime
- Disney Channel (for their Animated stuff)

FYI, A&E is the network of Bates Motel and Longmire, two shows that one hardly considers to be "family friendly." And they recently added "Those Who Kill." A&E could be the platform for Daredevil or Punisher TV series.

 

[Tymminator]

I like Monica's new costume too. I really feel she needs to be brought into the MCU. I would be extremely happy and grateful if she was.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'd like to see Monica brought into Agents of Shield. Maybe the team goes to New Orleans to investigate something and runs into a Detective Monica Rambeau.

It's the only way I think she's brought into the MCU.

And I could see them staying within the ABC Network to cast Monica for Agents of Shield if she's going to be in it. Looking at ABC's cast listing on their shows, I see at least 5 (maybe 6) names they could look at for Monica.

 

[Tymminator]

Actually, post the New York Invasion, her origin story could be translated over pretty easily easily with little changes.

You know, John Romita Jr originally had Pam Grier in mind of what he wanted her to look like?

Still though, Agents of Shield is the only way I think we'll ever see Monica in MCU. And what happens to Monica after Agents of Shield will depend on who they cast to play her. If they cast a lesser known actress to play Monica, I think the intention is to probably have her appear on Agents of Shield only. If its a fairly big name, the intention is likely for her to sign a multi-film contract with her origin story shown on Agents of Shield and then transition into the movies. It would have to be an actress who is a fairly known name and isn't against doing TV.

Fortunately, there is such an actress on ABC. Don't know if she would do it though. She would be a fantastic choice.
