However, the more I see Quicksilver, the more I believe Fox may have actually outdone Marvel at casting/creating a character.

Why? Fox's Quicksilver may end up being the more entertaining portrayal, but Marvel's looks much more like Pietro.

I'm guessing the Marvel version won't be as fast as the Fox version.

Exactly though, Fox did something with the character and made something excellent. I am not necessarily saying this is the case, but if you chain yourself to the original and end up having an unentertaining version, what is the point?

On the cartoon side, adults may not have flocked to them, but they seem to be doing well on the Disney channels and I think Marvel has done a fantastic job of getting kids wrapped up in their universe via their Avengers cartoons, etc. which then translates into excitement about the movies.

Cartoons, not comic books are actually what got me into the nerd 'verse if you will. Now that I am an adult I am playing catch up and learning all the story arcs and wish I had the budget to buy and read all of them. I also wish there were like comic book libraries or blockbusters where you could rent/borrow them.

swimmerbabe... you need to look into Marvel Unlimited. It's $10/month or $70 for an annual subscription, and you can read damn near every comic Marvel has ever published.

Marvel's digital subscription is a good way to do that swimmy.

Neat, I will definitely look into that.
I wonder if Dark Horse has something similar.

Also, this picture gave me the chills. Sooo cool.

Marvel's will just be so different. He will be defined by his relationship to his sister and what appears to be their link to the cube or maybe an infinity gem (how they got their powers, I presume). That versus Fox's more comical version can stand on its own.

This may be a dumb question, so my apologies.

Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver aren't the "miracles" that are shown in the cell at the end credits scene of the Capt 2 film, are they?

Marvel Unlimited is worth every cent.

Also, Cap's new duds are sweet.

Can't wait to see Avengers Tower as well. That's where they are lounging around with Rhodey.

Not all characters are meant to be entertaining. Quicksilver is a jealous, paranoid ***hole.

hrmph. I didn't realize when watching that it was set in the past. I thought those were children during the avengers. Was hoping for creepy child stars.

edit: just re-watched it. They were teens in that clip, I thought they had been younger. I remembered that clip a lot differently than it was. I'm glad I re-watched it.

Regarding the picture of Cap and Thor, does Thor look less muscular or has he always been this way & I didn't notice? His arms look toned but scrawny with that pose and those bracers.

Not quite the end yet.

Ha, I JUST posted this in the other thread...

quote:

Literally, just two hours ago, Marvel announced a huge slate of new release dates.

Here's the already-announced group:

Guardians Of The Galaxy – August 1, 2014
Avengers: Age Of Ultron – May 1, 2015
Ant-Man – July 17, 2015
Captain America 3 – May 6, 2016
UNTITLED MARVEL FILM – July 8, 2016
UNTITLED MARVEL FILM – May 5, 2017

And here's the newly-announced group:

UNTITLED MARVEL FILM – July 28, 2017
UNTITLED MARVEL FILM – November 3, 2017
UNTITLED MARVEL FILM – July 6, 2018
UNTITLED MARVEL FILM – November 2, 2018
UNTITLED MARVEL FILM – May 3, 2019

Notice there's no May 2018 movie, which is when everyone assumed Avengers 3 would hit. Instead, Marvel's last announced date is May 3, 2019. Which is likely Avengers 3 NEW date. If so, my guess is they're waiting four years this time (instead of three) for two reasons:

- Phase 3 is going to be HUGE. Mainly because Captain America 3 and Thor 3 will both be the final solo movies for Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, so Marvel needs to really start establishing/expanding new characters.

- Joss Whedon will be back, but he needs a break. He can take two years and go do whatever the hell he wants, recharge his batteries, and then come back and write/direct Avengers 3. Otherwise, if Avengers 3 was 2018, I bet he wouldn't have committed (and still might not, I guess).

---

I bet the Hulk/Guardians movie gets the vacant Avengers date.

Avengers 3 should be a monster film to put an end to this huge line of films. Who knows what Marvel will do after that, but man what a run of films.

They give Sony 300MM and a % of the gross to buy back Spider-Man to headline Phase IV.

Sony has now put "Sinister Six" for November 11, 2016 and pushed "Amazing Spider Man 3" back to May 4, 2018.

My question is: will people even remember how ASM 2 ended? That was a pretty dramatic moment that is going to be heavily diluted due to the extreme distance (in this era of blockbusters) between movies?

Honestly, I was hoping Sony would just cut a deal with Marvel instead of going ahead with these ill-conceived plans.

Imagine if we get through Avengers 3... Thanos defeated, the Infinity Gems destroyed, Cap likely dead, Stark retired as Iron Man (but serving as Secretary of Defense?), Thor now king of Asgard.

Then you pick up the next Phase with Spidey at the core. Osborn as the villain, working up to a Dark Avengers arc. Heroes by that point could include Strange, Captain/Ms. Marvel, Bucky-Cap, and maybe still Vision, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch.

Still a lot to do, there.

Not to mention the world you've opened up with GOTG

I want Power Man and Iron Fist

They are getting Netflix shows, I believe.

Yes they are. Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones are all getting their own series as well as a team up called The Defenders.

If Marvel owns the tv rights to Wolverine, to say nothing of X-Men, why not do a TV tie-in with the MCU? Or even just develop a Wolverine show for Netflix or cable? Does the Mouse have any stake in any of the movie networks?

And, just saying... why not get Jackman to play the part? I guess it's probably in his contract not to play the role except on the big screen, but isn't his contract up after Apocalypse and maybe one more standalone film?

It would be cool.

The July 28, 2017 spot goes to Guardians 2! Now to wait til Thursday to watch the first!

A little disappointed they were not able to announce other dates, or maybe they just refused to since DC's Comic-Con didn't do it either. You have to control the attention in the media, so don't bust everything at once.

However, kind of wish something would have been said about Dr. Strange.

Random Fanboy Thought Of The Day: Imagine if THE AVENGERS 3 is a two parter? Part I May 2018, & Part 2 May 2019?

I've been wondering about that as well.

Why not? It worked for Harry Potter, Twilight and now The Hunger Games...

So based on the huge success of Guardians and the clear impact that James Gunn had on that film I'm finding it difficult to believe that Marvel/Disney just couldn't tolerate Edgar Wright's vision. Gunn's prints were, to me, all over that film - from the humor and banter, to the certain close up shots of characters and the opening child Peter scene. Short of adding visual "POW"s and "WHACK"s what could Wright been trying to do with that film that didn't gel?

Where Marvel has interfered in the past was insisting on the inclusion of characters from other properties, e.g. Fury and Black Widow in IM2, which is what put Favreau off.
