Will The MCU Ever Go Full Force?

[ernesth100]

Every Character Ever Involved One Way Or Another. Every Plotline and Subplot. Weaved Ever So Perfectly Into Place. To Create The Ultimate MCU Experience. Like A Simple Comic Book Issue. You Never Know Who Could Appear. Team Ups Are A Regular. TV and Film are even more intertwined. Do y'all ever see the MCU going full force where charactera can freely jump back and forth into different films and shows?

Define freely. Do I think there will come a day characters from a show or two will be in a movie? Sure. Do I see it happening a lot? No. I also don't see the big guns of the films being on shows, like no Black Panther on AoS, etc.

Likely yes. But I would love to see once Disney gets it's streaming service up they start putting the Marvel shows on it. AoS, Daredevil, Runaways, Defenders, etc. Thus allowing more free travel for the characters between universes.

We DID get that for one all-too-brief moment back in 2014. After a disappointing first two thirds of AOS's freshman season, the HYDRA reveal in CA:TWS had TV and film intertwined in a way that had never been seen before. Viewers saw Sitwell, Fury and Hill bouncing back and forth between the big and small screens, and got to see how devastating the impact of the end of SHIELD had on the rank and file, and on Phase I stalwart Phil Coulson in particular. It truly was an amazing achievement that, alas, hasn't been seen since.

Unfortunately, being too dependent on the cinematic story lines negatively impacted the quality of the TV show. And the rift between TV and film after Marvel Studios broke off from Marvel Entertainment kept tight continuity between TV and film happening again. I am hoping that the restructuring from the FOX acquisition, the end of AOS and the Netflix shows and the launch of a new Marvel show on the streaming service will lead to another experiment in TV-film continuity. But I'm not holding my breath.

As of right now, renewal for season 6 of AoS is actually quite possible, and we know the existing Netflix shows will remain on Netflix, and sans Defenders, all were renewed.

Regardless, both AOS and the Netflix Marvel shows are closer to the end of their runs than the beginning. It's possible, though not probable, that the next iteration of Marvel shows on the streaming service will be closer in continuity to the big screen MCU, especially if further restructuring puts Marvel TV under Marvel Studios.

I think what the OP is talking about, in allowing all characters to essentially be supporting cast for all others, that's something that can and should happen in the Netflix verse. LC worked very well as a JJ supporting character, and IF will likely do so for LC. One-ep guest spots to connect characters beforehand not only would have been better in hindsight, but even now would work wonders towards building up the Netflix shows' value.

On the OP topic, logistically, no nothing will ever be "perfect" neither would we all agree on what "Full Force" is. Does Full Force include the Clone Saga, for instance? Superior Spider-Man? Brand New Day? And that's just Spider-Man's corner. Even now, White Wolf is Bucky and Hawkeye is a founding Avenger instead of Hank Pym, who is 70. Every storyline *can't* be done.

Full Force is exactly what you said the first time. And yes, considering this "full force" is based on the comics it would likely include VARIATIONS of those arcs. Ala what Marvel did to Civil War. Watered down for media and condensed within the allowing runtime. All I envision is a world where the entire MCU interacts.
