Maf Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 @OCH Spoiler Did Marvel just introduce Hyper Time in to the MCU? They said the Time Keepers restored everything within the scared timeline. Presumably the multiverse exists within the timeline, which would make it like DC’s Hypertime? I hate Hypertime ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I think they did. It took them a while to introduce some of the more high concept comic book ideas into the MCU, but it looks like it starts here. I assume this will continue into Dr. Strange 2. Although I think it will be toned down a bit. They might start to lose people if they go down too deep into this rabbit hole and add things like Man-Thing and the M'Kraan Crystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Episode 4 was ...interesting. I already called out a few obvious twists I saw coming. But it is strange for Episode 4 of 6 to be the one wherein momentum begins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Did anyone get then Spoiler Blade reference in Ep 4? I have to say this series is probably my least favourite of the shows so far, just has a much slower pace with slightly less intrigue and OMFG moments than WandaVision and FATWS. Still enjoyed it an awful lot but nowhere near as much as those two. Saying that the bit in Ep 4 Spoiler Where Loki gets vanished only to turn up with other Loki’s (one of which was Richard E Grant?!) in some weird limbo realm in a post credits scene is pretty mad. Similar with the Timekeepers being robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCH Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I wish they didn't dilute Loki so much. He was still supposed to be Avengers 1 era Loki here. Sure he's seen how that deal with Thanos plays out, but he is a bit too... I dunno, tame? Especially in this episode, his characterisation felt off.

Maf Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 So because of Lego a bunch of Spider-Man 3 things have leaked Spoiler New suits Confirming characters to be in it including Doctor Strange, Wong and JJJ. Also, this is the big thing that got me Is that a fucking Spider Slayer? People saying it’s a Scorpion. And yes it looks very much like a Scorpion. But it could also be a fucking Spider Slayer Yes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Still really like the style but the humour seems to be aimed at ten-year olds. I hope it's not all over the place with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 A bit of a hint at Marvel Zombies there. I thought they said they would never do that onscreen. The rest.. meh. Especially Captain Carter. When Union Jack or Captain Britain could easily fill that gap. As names for her or separate characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimboxy Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 The What If..? Looks good. So, are they going to be "cannon" MCU multiverse, or just their own thing? I'm quite enjoying this push towards the multiverse that all the recent Marvel stuff has done, we're starting to see the frame work for (I'd guess) the next decade or so of movies and shows.

mfnick Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Really enjoyed Loki Ep5. Spoiler The part in the bunker where they all turn on each other really tickled me for some reason. Alligator Loki did it for me too. Who was the guy in the jar as the camera panned through the ground? I couldn’t make it out. Thought it was that times version was of Thor at first but the old one said the young one had killed him so can’t be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite enjoying this push towards the multiverse that all the recent Marvel stuff has done, we're starting to see the frame work for (I'd guess) the next decade or so of movies and shows. I hope they don't lean to heavy on multiverse stuff. If they want to Loki it up and a character falls through different realities on a sort of sight seeing tour then it's fine. I don't want it to become multiverse centric, though. It gets confusing and I stop caring about lots of different versions of the same characters. It's one of the big reasons I like Marvel over DC. DC are so tied up in to years of multiverses, realities combining, coming apart again, reboots, retcons, this guy was in this universe but now he's in this one so what's his history. I doubt the MCU will get anywhere like that but even with Loki and Gamora I feel they're getting a little too close to making me not care. I want the next decade of the MCU to be Celestials, X-Men and Spider-Man team ups. That'll do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 One piece of speculation I read was someone saying for Wolverine to be introduced separate from the X-Men ala his comic book origins. So basically for a Wolverine Vs. Hulk film. To be honest, I wouldn't mind Wolverine not being on the X-Men for a while. They need to establish the others better than the last films did, first.

shinymcshine Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I've only just realised that Sophia Di Martino use to play Polly the paramedic, who met an untimely end in Casualty. Or maybe it was just another timeline.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That amount of characters confirmed for No Way Home is going to be mental. There still be the Earth 616 side of things with Young Avengers I reckon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Saw Black Widow on Friday night. Just hearing that Marvel title screen in the cinema again after all this time was phenomenal, felt so damn good. The film itself though I was quite disappointed with. It was good enough and inoffensive but due to the nature of it being a prequel and a bit of a side story it just wasn’t overly relevant to the MCU so it never really reached any heights for me, the only thing that really ties into it being the post-credits scene which I won’t spoil. Not the worst MCU film and better than my worst (Black Panther, GOTG 2) but about on par with Ant-Man 1 and the ilk really. Pretty good but far from great.
