Christopher R Taylor Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Honestly it feels early to do a Thunderbolts movie, I mean the big reveal of being villains is.... not very impressive if nobody has seen the villains before you know. Oh, Captain Cool was always Sneerjaw all along? Who's Sneerjaw, again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 The video looked like it had them in their regular IDs instead of disguised as new heroes, more Suicide Squad than Thunderbolts style. Here's the roster: Val (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) Red Guardian (David Harbour) Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell) Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) Seems odd to omit Zemo, since he's been introduced in the MCU and used multiple times recently.

Hugh Neilson Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 If it's Suicide Squad - style rather than villains in disguise, Zemo's not a great choice. None of the characters listed are ideologically opposed to Val's "US interests at any costs" vision. He would be. Pattern Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Well and unlike the comic book Zemo, he's just a schmoe who off camera can do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Examples: Werewolf By Night, & GotG Holiday Special. Basically, Marvel has “discovered” the TV movie/direct-to-home video format(s). This just reinforces Marvel’s D+ Originals are “b grade”.

Christopher R Taylor Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 Its kind of funny, Aquaman came out after Namor the Sub-Mariner in real comics history. Namor had the Atlantis history and all that, Aquaman didn't get that background until later. But DC stole a march on Marvel and put out Aquaman in the films and set him up as king of Atlantis so Marvel couldn't do that now or it seems derivative or like a copy. Now, the Mayan thing is just... bizarre to me, but I guess they had to come up with something and it couldn't be an alien undersea race so now he's Quetzelcoatl. We'll see how they pull it off. Namor is one of my favorite characters in Marvel's comics and I dunno it doesn't feel like its going to pull off the same feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is this really Namor that is being brought to screen? For me, nope. It is a bait-and-switch. While some elements/tropes remain, there is more than enough for this to be declared a different character. Call it a homage, or a pastiche or just a rip off but the two are essentially different. The thing is, that marvel could double-down on the Occidental nature of Atlantis given by Plato in the Timaeus and Critias of an ancient battle that took place between Atlantis (imperialism) and Athens (nationalism). Add in other elements from Homer's Iliad (Greece vs Troy) and you'd draw on thousands of years of myth and ancestral memory. This would just add to the myth already in Black Panther with it utilising the Arthurian-Celtic Once And Future King archetype as well as the African-Egyptian-Osirian kingly resurrection. Shuri's role in becoming the new Black Panther would be her own hero quest to reassemble the Black Panther similar to Isis finding and resurrecting Osiris-- Shuri's pulling the sword-from-the-stone moment ietest of worthiness. There is more, but you get the jist. It feels like a vast missed opportunity on Marvel's part to create a Lucas-like mythology within the MCU.

Bazza Posted October 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Basically, the pitches were two have individual series and then join it all together. Kinda like what Marvel did with The Defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Given what we've already seen in "The Rings of Power," Tolkien's heirs have every right to be freaked out. They shouldn't let Netflix anywhere near Middle-Earth again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Netflix's version would take place in Middling-Earth, and probably the plot would probably involve a contest with cake.)
