If it gets X-Men into the MCU, go for it.

Leave Tony alone. In fact, leave all of the Avenger Trilogy alone. No Tony, no Steve, No Thor.

Just make a new Avengers of other, unused super heroes. It doesn't have to stay the same 5 to 6 heroes forever. They have a huge pool to pull from.

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The Thunderbolts are quite literally called "The New Avengers"

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Three and a half supersoldiers, a lady who can walk through walls, and Superman but with DID, don't quite make a functional Avengers team. Gonna need just a teeny bit more powers diversity in there.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Captain America, Hulk and Thor are basically the same. Just strong guys who hit stuff with other stuff. Be it a shield, a hammer, or another bad-guy.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Captain America: Supersoldier who is also an top-tier tactician

Hulk: Unstoppable green god-level strength rage monster who can also transform into one of the smartest people on Earth

Thor: God-level strength combined with flight and lightning powers, has some familiarity with magic, has Asgardian diplomatic ties

vs.

Red Guardian: Discount Captain America without a shield or extraordinary leadership abilities, but also past his expiration date

Bucky: Discount Captain America with a robot arm and will use guns, no shield, no extraordinary leadership abilities

US Agent: Discount Captain America with a folded taco shield, no extraordinary leadership abilities, in fact it seems like his personality actively causes people to hate him. Also he beheaded a guy on national television.

I mean, I love this team of fuck-ups but they gotta diversify that roster a little if they're going to call themselves Avengers.

[–] Microw@piefed.zip 1 points 1 week ago

They kinda tried that, and it didnt work.

[–] pezhore 5 points 1 week ago

The avengers are a ridiculously large cast of characters in the comics. There are several dozen to choose from (even more if you want to count Young Avengers, West Coast Avengers, etc.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, eventually, but not anytime soon. There are plenty of new characters and there are plenty of characters who pickup the existing titles. Tell stories that exist in the comics, but feel free to adjust, tweak or just make completely new interactions.

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Recast. Not recasted. And no. Much like DC and the Justice League, Marvel has a huge pantheon of heroes to pull from.

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

They tried that with Tony and with Steve, Thor they left on the fence. They didn't make it work despite some of the post Endgame catalog being good or better, panicked, and got them back for truckloads of money.

Marvel fans want to see good Marvel films, casual fans want to see good Marvel films with their favorite actors in, it seems. Disney want/need Marvel to be making blockbuster money, over a billion at box office, for most of the big Cinema releases and for that you need the casual fans.

I forced myself to watch Thunderbolts. The entire movie they all kept taking about how they're not the avengers.

Yeah we know. Well aware, Marvel. Get on with it already.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Yes. It’s about them having to live and operate in the shadow of The Avengers. Of fucking course we know they aren’t them. That’s precisely the point, they are a bunch of second rate assholes needing to live up to the Avengers legacy while facing an Avengers level threat while being a bunch of fuckwits. The fact they AREN’T them and still find a way shows why they are worthy of the legacy.

Plus, they dealt with a lot of mental trauma as well. It was a great movie.

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thunderbolts was the best MCU movie since Winter Soldier.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I like the MCU movies but that's bold. Best since Infinity War maybe. Guardians 3 was phenomenal though, and I liked most of Shang-Chi and Marvels. But yes Thunderbolts was awesome.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social -3 points 1 week ago

Lol thats hilarious

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just create something new already

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's gonna be young Xavier all over again.

Feige said. “‘Endgame,’ literally, was about endings. ‘Secret Wars’ is about is about beginnings.”

He surely was misquoted there, but it seems there's hope

[–] lath@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago

Iron Man will be Bronze Man, Wolverine's adamantium will be recasted with aluminium, the steel dude will go for chrome and vibranium turns into copper thanks to that sweet deal with Ea-Nasir.

Isn't that Ibana?

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Pfft. DC reboots every 2 minutes so why the hell not.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

i just want two things:

the gifted to come back
an xmen 2099 series

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There was something Levar Burton said after the conclusion of Voyager: (paraphrasing because I can't remember the exact quote) People are tired of Star Trek.

And he was right. We needed a break. And then came Lower Decks.

The point is we're all tired of the same super hero movies. I stopped after Ant Man Quantumania.

We need original stories with interesting plots. Not recycled, rebooted, retooled IP.

Give me Good Will Hunting over Avengers: The Ant World Groot Farm part 4.
