Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[staindgrey]

Though I'm more than a bit disappointed that Spider-Man started in the MCU as a Teenager, I get why. But if you're going to go In Medias Res with him might as well take the best incarnation of him, since 90% of his best elements were him at 18 years old. I think even the later Ditko-Lee comics Peter was at least in college.

It also assures that they can keep him on for some time without having to worry about his age. He could essentially be the RDJ/Chris Evans of the next decade of movies, likely alongside Brie Larson.

This gave me a mind **** for a minute until I read the context.

To be fair, there are multiple people with the same names :v

 

[Z25]

We know of Shang-Chi and Eternals being made, Kamala's being worked on and we've gottem teased for Adam Warlock and Miles Morales

I don’t know if it’s time for miles yet but it be cool. I don’t think they want to overshadow Peter though with how new he is to the mcu. Bringing miles in two right away might be might with criticism due to spidey not getting the spotlight for too long. Could happen though.

I do find it interesting most of peter’s classmates are playing versions of characters that become other heroes like silk. I wonder if that will go anywhere.

@Shishœ Wait, so why does everybody call you a guy? I mean, I'm pretty sure this site does a good job with using the right pronouns (most of the time), yet many people still think you're male. Do you know why, because I sure don't.

Because people are dumb and haven't gotten the memo. Lots of people assume that I'm a guy despite having the name 'Gwen'

He just wants to turn everyone into dinosaurs pretty much. Hell wants dinosaurs to rule all over again.

Wait, seriously? Not going to lie, but I never could have imagined that. Okay, if it happens to you as well, then it's more of a problem than I thought.

I think this is exactly the plan. He’s likely going to be a big face for groups like the avengers going forward now because of how big his character and role was in the comics and how successful they’ve been with tom.

Pyra I didn't give details on it, but I hope the 30 bucks I gave you will be able to help in some way.

every character in japanese media either looks 23 but is really 15 or looks 5 but is really 1000. ****'s creepy

God, this is a stupid take that I'm tired of seeing

Trust me I get it. He started out that way, and it's a good way to keep Holland on the films for a hot minute. But man, Spider-Man really hit his stride after "If This Be My Destiny". And I'm not saying just throwing the 100-ton metal off of him. But the responsibility he had in doing so, and what motivated him to do it. It wasn't to save himself, it was to save his family, or what was left of it. Having that missing from the scene softened the heroic aspect of it.

The story arcs with Tarantula, Kraven's Last Hunt, the OG Hobgoblin Storyline, so much stuff to pull from.

Time for a confession, folks

Take your time, I’ll hear out all of your confessions

Its been a while since I actually finished a game, and just recently started focusing and watching series again. While I have read the manga, I just recently watched Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood in its entirety. Hope I can manage my schedule a bit better to finish games in the future.

 

[Wademan94]

MCU or not. I'd really REALLY like Kaine to be in more media. I really liked his evolution from Villain to Anti-Hero with a heart of gold. The idea that there's this un-shakeable good in Peter Parker that it even imprints in his clones' DNA is neat. So that a guy like Kaine, who doesn't even want to be a hero, still does the right thing, though in his own way, since he's still enough of his own man.

Also, his road to redemption taking years in the comics helped, compared to Ben Riley's Rise, Fall and then having a pretty Schizophrenic development in his solo series. Eh, as much I like the idea of Ben Riley actually getting a chance this time around, his niche as an Anti-Hero Spider-Man was done WAY better with Kaine. And the niche as a younger Spider-Man since Peter's been a grown *** man since the mid-60's, has been usurped by Miles. And both Kaine and Miles have different powers to set them apart from Peter Parker.

Also Miguel O'Hara. Who's just straight up the best Spin-off hero in Marvel.

Think we’ll see either Ben or Kaine appear in future Spiderverse media? Sequel, spinoff or whatever?

Though I'm more than a bit disappointed that Spider-Man started in the MCU as a Teenager, I get why. But if you're going to go In Medias Res with him might as well take the best incarnation of him, since 90% of his best elements were him at 18 years old at least. I think even the later Ditko-Lee comics Peter was at least in college.

It’s a shame we’ll likely never see the Ditko-Lee Spider-Man represented in film anytime soon aside from the occasional visual reference here and there.

Seconded. Sorry to hear that, I thought people would at least use them correctly with you. I haven't seen any in your direction, but I could just be missing them...

******, I hate Awakening but the whole "Japan loves its 1000 year old lolis" is honestly kind of racist as it reads as "Japan is full of pedophiles"

Wait you're a girl? I thought Elder Gods didn't have genders.

I ate a poptart at 12:00 AM. What was I thinking?

Yeah. Spider-Man is arguably Marvel's most popular property. Before the MCU made The Avengers popular, they were always secondary to the Justice League. Spider-Man, specifically, was the one who arguably became more popular than most all of DC's heroes.

It makes sense that after these coming of age movies, they'll give Spidey a leader role. That's probably why they consider Far From Home the true ending of Phase 4, because it's going to show some sort of growth in the character and cement him as the next big Avenger.

At the same time though.

While I do agree that more gender-neutral pronouns should be used, with how fast this thread moves at times, is it really fair to assume that everyone should have to check someone's profile before they respond to any post?


For example, why not have the staff add gender to the actual profile info under our icons or on the hover-over window we get on our names?

This is slander on Fire Emblem Awakening that game did literally nothing wrong. Nowi doesn't count because she doesn't actually exist, only conspiracy theorists believe there's a Fire Emblem character called Nowi

You'll stop seeing it when we destroy Moe-blobs and SAO type shows.

Though if we go back to 80's - 90's Swole Squad after that is unknown. Maybe even a new aesthetic.

 

[Z25]

Also prediction:

Spider will have 4-6 films before spidey goes off into other franchises. With each film setting up for the final one being a sinister 6 showdown.

And if none's listed, I guess.

And if I'm wrong, I apologize and remember for next time.

It's not that hard.

Given that Disney now has the rights. I hope to see Sauron and Stegron in the MCU possibility as the antagonists in a Ka-Zar film set in the Savage Land.

Mate, I just think its easier if we use pronouns or neutral stuff. It's easier to keep track off. (That's also the reason why I normally use mate to refer to someone as it's pretty neutral :b)

The three big players for Phase 4 are going to be Black Panther, Spider-Man and Captain Marvel.
What do you think the whole "Gauntlet as football" sequence was for if not a symbolic passing of the torch?

Everytime I post about a user or are talking to them, I always look at what they identify as on their user settings before I post about them.

You do, I'd wager 95% of people don't.


I don't think people, in this thread specifically, misgender out of malice, they do it because they don't feel the need to waste time by checking a profile before they want to say what they need to say.


What I'm saying is if the information was just 'there', the issue would be vastly decreased.

I thought the same after my second time seeing the movie.

Spoiler: More Endgame spoilers.

On the first watch, I thought it was essentially to give screen time to the three biggest fan favorites who weren't in the movie due to being snapped or off on other planets the whole movie. But the second time, I thought, "Y'know, these are probably the next Cap/Stark/Thor, aren't they?"

 

[Wademan94]

So I brought it up a while ago but does anyone want to discuss more potential casting choices for the MCU characters were predicting?

Tagging @JDCabrera here. I’ve brought them up earlier for other characters but I think either Sienna Miller or Katheryn Winnick could work for Sue Storm. What do the rest of you guys think?

Spoiler: The actresses pictures
