Personally, I didn't mind the cutting away. I thought it was well done/effective, and they more than made up for it in the third act. IMO, the movie's mortal sin was unceremoniously killing Cranston's character halfway through. Keep him around, then recast his son/Taylor-Johnson's role, and it could have been close to an all-timer. Otherwise, I loved the overall vibe so much.

Agree on this.

Feige confirms the Fantastic Four will be in both upcoming Avenger movies as well. And that X-men are closer than you think!

Deadline reported on Feige's appearance, where he first spoke about his excitement for The Fantastic Four: The First Steps. "Finally, [we're] bringing Marvel's First Family into the MCU," Feige said. "They wrap next week, the movie comes out next summer, and then all those characters go right into the next Avengers movies, so I'm very excited for the future of the Fantastic Four."

Feige later addressed the second Avengers movie, Secret Wars. "I think you will see [mutant introductions] continues in our next few movies with some X-Men players that you might recognize," he said. "Right after that, the whole story of Secret Wars really leads us into a new age of mutants and of the X-Men. Again, [it's] one of those dreams come true. We finally have the X-Men back."

That is interesting. I'm not sure of a natural way to introduce some mutants in the upcoming films because they seem pretty dang unrelated. Maybe Disney+ shows?

I did always like the idea of introducing some of them - when it makes sense - before a traditional X-Men film. I don't think you should go for an Avengers 1 style of build up, but it would make sense if...

- Iceman appeared in a Spider-Man movie as a team-up buddy
- Storm appeared in Black Panther 3
- Banshee is an Interpol or Sword agent

Etc. I'm not really interested in a hamfisted cameo to show off your new Rogue casting in a Cap4 post-credits scene, since we've already gotten a lot of that in phase 4 and 5. But Iceman could be a college classmate of Spidey before he realizes he's not the only mutant out there and makes his way to Xavier's school, or something. It just needs to be more organic than what we got in The Marvels or the cameos at the very end of Shang-Chi, where it's more of a "hey look at this" than anything.

Dude. Get on Netflix and watch it ASAP. Amazing show.

The Majors lawsuit has been dropped "with prejudice".

https://abc13.com/post/jonathan-majors-ex-girlfriend-drops-assault-defamation-lawsuit-rising-star/15573698/

Now he should sue her for the millions upon millions he cost her for getting fired by Marvel

Right. This suit being dropped doesn't make him a saint. It's just interesting. And how much money could they get from him at this point?

They got enough to make the civil case go away and not be brought up again.

Just to be crystal clear…

Jonathan Majors was convicted of 3rd-degree assault & 2nd-degree harassment by NY in 2023, meaning the court found him guilty of causing some harm and engaging in threatening behavior. While his ex has settled a case against him, this doesn't erase the prior criminal conviction. https://t.co/rYJVHIaMNS

Well, RDJ got to be Iron Man for 11 years just 7 years after his 5th arrest and spending 15 months in actual prison, so how long does Majors have to wait to get be forgiven by the important part of Hollywood?

Is it finally happening?

There's a difference between self-harm (drug use) and physically harming others (assault).

That's my point.

I know there is a difference, I'm asking what the Hollywood wait time is to be forgiven for majors crime. I mean Alec Baldwin straight up killed someone in 2021 and he's already back on SNL.

That was absolutely infuriating to me.

I mean, Matthew Broderick has a career.

Baldwin's "crime" compared to that or to Majors' is not comparable really.

Of course he's back. SNL doesn't care as long as he can be available to play Trump.

And he doesn't even do it well.

What did Broderick do? Don't realize he was a criminal.

Killed two women in a head on collision. Driving in the wrong lane.

Doesn't make his right either.

Mostly Baldwin should disappear because he said he would leave the country if Bush won and then again if Trump won.

Plus the famous voice mail he left his daughter telling her she was a disgusting pig.

Yeah. He's a real stand up guy that should be making fun of anyone.
