Crisis on Earth X had lots of that and was darn fun.

I dunno, I think it's possible that a couple people die in this film. I also think that there may be some time-travel/timeline altering shenanigans in A4, so some characters's deaths may be undone but some will probably stick

Also, I like that threads here in the Drome keep their original titles "New Avatar movie to be announced before 2014" and it's still the thread we bump as the new movie comes out

You didn't care for IM3? I thought it was better than IM2 at least, I liked the chemistry between Tony and his little buddy what's-his-name

I'm still amazed at the size of this cast. I hope they pull these two movies off.

You know they gotta save something for the actual trailers they'll eventually release

Eh, it's got all the Avengers in it so I don't have a problem with it being released under the Avengers banner

Definitely. And throw Dr. Doom in there at some point, too

I heard that SH3 may start production late next year if everyone's schedules line-up. Fingers crossed!

Yeah. I bet the farm Quicksilver is coming back to life.

I think IM3 was just as bad as IM2, or close to as bad. It didn't learn even a single lesson from IM2 and the last act was truly dumb. Like, embarrassingly dumb.

Eh, it's got all the Avengers in it so I don't have a probably with it being released under the Avengers banner

But there are more non-Avengers heroes in this movie than there are Avengers heroes.

Definitely. And throw Dr. Doom in there at some point, too

Yeah, I'd love to see a proper Dr. Doom as a universe-level threat to the MCU. Maybe he should come next before Galactus, or simultaneous to it.

They say that every year.

Quicksilver is absolutely coming back to life. Absolutely.

[TigerClaw]

Thanos's appearance has changed over the years.

[sdp]

I liked Iron Man 2, it was the same as IM1 but that's all I wanted. Iron Man 3 burned me with the awesome trailer giving us a new type of villain only to "swerve" us and give us a generic villain again, a shame. I hated it so much it's still the last Marvel movie I've seen completely.

But I'm hyped for Infinity War, I dread catching up to all the movies I've missed but I'll have to do it. I can't believe something as geeky as a crossover event is as mainstream as it is, and of course I also feel a bit of the "I liked crossovers before they were cool" but whatever I"d rather this be mainstream than not happen at all.

I made this post back in early 2005:

If not couldn't they ever make a big crossovermovie? I think that'd be really neat

I wanted there to be a crossover movie, and I was met with "nope" and "they're owned by different companies it'll never happen". And look where we are.



IIRC wasn't the avengers initiative secret ending added at the last second? The popularity lead to Hulk also getting a secret ending at the last minute. Same with Thanos in the first Avenger, originally the scharma was the "secret ending".

After IM3 the only ones you need to watch to have a moderate understanding of what's going on are Guardians 1, Civil War, and Thor 3.

Eh, if you really want to get the full effect for Infinity War, I would at least recommend reading plot summaries for all the films if you're not gonna watch them all. Some of them are less than stellar but they all contribute at least something to the overall narrative and you'd be lost if you didn't at least read some Cliffs Notes for the ones you skip

These are all the films after Iron Man 3:

Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Guardians of the Galaxy
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Ant-Man
Captain America: Civil War
Doctor Strange
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Spider-Man: Homecoming
Thor: Ragnarok

Assuming Nebula is in this, I'd include Guardians 2 since it strengthens her resolve against Thanos.

Sorry, but you can't leave out Avengers 2... Vision is introduced, the Infinity Stone in his head is kinduva big deal, and Scarlet Witch, too... oh, also it helps to show us that Tony continues to make terrible, terrible life choices. If anything, you can skip Iron Man 3 and replace it with Avengers 2--Avengers 2 seemed to ignore everything from IM3.

[plastroncafe]

I agree that you can skip im3, not because I don't like it but because all of the PTSD that Tony deals with in that movie is forgotten about in time for Ultron.

I wasn't even hating. But Whedon apparently skips over everything IM3, doesn't mention anything... no suits, no pepper, Tony's still having PTSD...

Civil War made sure to mention it, though.

Both of you are picking at nits. I live with someone who deals with PTSD each and every day because they took lives. In war. With lots of guns. And ran over and got exploded by three IEDs. PTSD isn't some thing that needs to be broadcast, or needs to be dealt with in every situation because the person has it... that's ridiculous. That's not even the way it works.

[plastroncafe]

Andrew, I have PTSD.
I don't need you to tell me how it works, I'm all too well aware.
Thanks for playing though.

You can infer a lot of Avengers 2 just from Civil War: apparently something bad happened in a mission in Sokovia, Vision and Scarlet Witch are new members, Vision has a few lines about this weird stone in his head, and there's plenty of Tony Stark hypocrisy in Civil War... okay, maybe it's a stretch. Yeah, add Avengers 2 to that list.

For real? Hmm, I never thought about the possibility of him coming back.

I always just figured that Infinity War would represent or outright depict the official recruitment of all these new heroes to the Avengers team

Yeah, I think they could go either way with it in regards to what world-ending villain comes next. Galactus, even though he just looks like a Big Dude (unlike that FAKE Galactus from one of the awful Fantastic Four movies), is more representative of a force of nature, the unstoppable annihilation mankind could face during its forrays into space exploration. Dr. Doom is more like a "man playing god" type of character ala Dr. Frankenstein. Either one would be really cool to see.

I think they'll turn down the threat level of the MCU movies for a while though, let some smaller scale stories happen. They don't want to recreate the event fatigue that has lead todl declining comic sales

Ah, do they? Damn. I liked the first two movies, I would like to see a 3rd eventually

You might be right. I could see Cap or somebody doing a big "You're all Avengers now" speech, addressing all of the superheroes.

Ah, do they? Damn. I liked the first two movies, I would like to see a 3rd eventually

Google it. Just about every year it's, "We should be shooting next year, if everyone's schedule lines up!" Never happens. With Ritchie's 10 movie King Arthur thing spectacularly dying, maybe its got its best shot at happening now.

Or maybe it will come out at the same time as that solo Black Widow movie they're working real hard on.

What do you all think the odds are of Thanos getting his hat back?

100%. Either he begins with it and sheds his armor or he just wears it different points. I read a troubling interview with the Russos saying that, "He realizes he doesn't need it" which sounds like code for "We really want to show a maximum amount of Josh Brolin in the role," ala Topher Grace as Venom or anything else.
