The Marvel Cinematic Multiverse

The original 80s Pony movie was really good, don't get hung up on preconceived ideas of how things are. For reference, so was the Care Bears one.

I also saw those and loved them, but I was ~4. I was talking about that CGI My Little Pony thing which was being advertised everywhere a while back.

Looks like next months San Diego Comic Con is where the coming years of the films will be revealed. Presumably we're on the road to Avengers 5 now

Got halfway into ep2 of ms marvel before abandoning it. It’s like high school musical. I get that superhero stuff is apparently childish anyway but this show is for children.

"Deadpool 3" Scribes Embracing The MCU - Dark Horizons
The writers of Deadpool 3 have confirmed that the film is an MCU entry, therefore adding the franchise to the universe. The humour from the film will be derived from keeping Deadpool as he is but altering the world around him to that of the MCU's.

We watched Doctor Strange: The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, and...

->Open Spoiler<-

I enjoyed it.

I agree with what some have said in that it seemed somehow more violent than much of the previous films. I also felt, despite the development of her character in Wandavision, that Wanda's turn to the dark side seemed a little sudden and absolute, though I guess it explained how she had that magical artifact which could do that to people.

Also, guess she's "dead" (inasmuch as anyone ever dies in Marvel) which, if they're ever going to do the X-men, probably helps clear the slate.

Honestly the whole run-time was worth it for the couple of minutes of Xavier and the X-Men cartoon music, though it was a shame that Xavier kinda got spanked in a battle-of-minds by Wanda, given how he's usually portrayed.

Not one of my favourites. I think for me it sits in a similar tier to Black Widow, in that I really enjoyed it, but it didn't leave much of an impression outside of 1-2 key scenes.

Worth it for the post-credits sequence alone

How spoiled we’ve become with quality that I wouldn’t of gone to the cinema to see this. Still, enjoyable and interesting in its own right.

Emma Roberts Joins Marvel's "Madame Web" - Dark Horizons
Sony continues its mission to half ass its MCU efforts furiously blow on the embers of an era that is dying out by releasing as many films as they can as fast as they can by casting Emma Roberts in a key role in Madame Web.

Fixed that for you

We've got at least another decade to go! Just put Maguire in them all = $$$

I can imagine at the next negotiations discussion there'll be a talk between Sony and Marvel. Sony's stupidity in not taking note of why Marvel films work and instead budget rushing things ala Morbius is bad for both sides.

Though that must be disappointing for them, I think it's par for the course in the Marvel films.

A large part of the bit where Cap goes to see the aging Carter in The Winter Soldier was part of a subplot that was entirely excised from The Avengers; like, filmed and not used. That's also related to why there's a blonde woman in it who seems like a weirdly prominent extra. Pacing is really important to the MCU and I suspect they probably cut out a lot.
