If we're lucky and they ever do use the Betty character again hopefully it's her and not that whispering idiot Liv Tyler...

She played her bitchy role in He's Just Not That Into You too well for me to view her as anything other than a massive cunt

She might be.

But to be fair she can actually act.

She might look like 140 lbs of Arby's roast beef but she can actually act...

More like 110, but she really needs start eating again. She would probably look amazing if she did weigh 140.

I worked with a girl that looked exactly like her in Career Opportunities and she's just as sweet as can be; great personality. So somehow I've come to just assume that Connelly is the same way.

Either approach is probably equally nonsensical...

A number of high-profile actors from the MCU have been confirmed as having wrapped their time on Joe and Anthony Russo‘s Untitled Avengers Movie in recent days, but now the directing duo themselves confirm that Avengers 4 is well and truly wrapped. I’m still not expecting an official title until after the May 4, 2018 release of Avengers: Infinity War, but I’m placing all my Bitcoins on it being New Avengers or some variation on that theme. Remember, the actors/characters of the MCU as we know it didn’t just wrap on the most recent Marvel movie, they may have actually wrapped on the entirety of their Marvel career.


Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently confirmed that, with another 20 movies on tap that are taking the MCU in a new direction, and the fact that contracts are expiring on major actors like Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, and Chris Evans, we’re going to have to bid farewell to some very famous faces. And since Avengers 3 and 4 were shot back-to-back with the latter’s title being withheld for spoiler reasons, it makes sense to keep the casts of both movies under the same roof, all the better to keep story spoilers under wraps. Avengers: Infinity War arrives this May, with the “finale” of Avengers 4 dropping about a year later on May 3, 2019. Be prepared.

That's really all they can do -- you can't reboot the Marvel Universe. Not after all this time.

It does beg the question of what you do with Marvel's biggest ticket characters -- Cap, Iron Man, Thor. I bet you could keep the Chris' coming with a big enough payload but RDJ really is going to be done soon and Iron Man's too damn popular to let him just be a cameo character.
[Reply]

I would assume that either Bucky or Falcon will take over as the new Captain America. I think you have to bring back Hemsworth as Thor. Unless they feel that the whole female Thor thing can be successful. RDJ is the wild card for me though. Dude IS Iron Man.
[Reply]

I think the female Thor can be successful, but it's hard to imagine she would be as successful as Hemsworth.
[Reply]

I don't. Marvel tried to go that route in the comics themselves after their latest Secret Wars run, changing the genders on a number of their favorite characters. It worked so well that they had to reboot the reboot. They should create NEW female characters, good and bad, and leave the established characters alone, imo.

The most popular character out of that run? Old Man Logan.

The new editor appears to be wanting to curb the heavy handed SJW nonsense. The only "diversity" push I thought was a good idea was the Cho/Hulk change. I liked the Cho character and thought having one of the world's smartest men be the Hulk would lead to more creative stories. It didn't - the writing was just bad.

I think as long as Fiege is in charge of the MCU it will continue to take the best from the comics and avoid agendas/direct translations/retellings. Once he leaves I'm worried what may happen.

Why do you keep posting about politics in super hero movie threads? I understand your a Trump supporter and have a right to your opinion, but posting your political views in every super hero movie thread? Why?
[Reply]

I could point out the clear direction Marvel Comics has taken but if you currently read and don't see it I doubt it would do much good.

For a better example look at Cho during the World War Hulk storyline. Not only is he the the Hulk's last defender (and even challenges the Hulk to a fight) but proves his point. The Hulk basically admits Cho's right while proving Cho's theory wrong. This is great writing. Cho never intended to take down the Hulk he wanted Hulk/Banner to see what they were doing and stop.

If you compare this to Cho/Hulk's fight with the Black Panther or how he's written in Champions he's now an ignorant teen who responds and doesn't plan/think ahead.

It's a huge disservice to Cho's character and an example of bad writing...

Let it be noted that you're the one that invoked Trump's name and politics in here, not Rausch. And he brought it up because Marvel was on a HUGE SJW tear with their storylines, just as I mentioned. Females had taken on the Thor, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Wolverine characters, and that's just off the top of my head.

Rausch isn't "posting his political views" in here, he's commenting on how Marvel got uber-political with their comic book product and how it mostly backfired on them.
[Reply]

And IMO....Scarlet and Renner can fuck off. Those characters are so worthless in the universe. Who really gives a shit about Black Widow and Hawkeye?
