The Glade 4.0

It does create some rather serious issues of tension-breaking. Hard to worry about Tony Stark's fate when you know Downey's signed for X more films, etc.

Khross: Disney-Marvel will never make a Fantastic Four movie that ties into the current MCU. By the time they get the rights back, the continuity will long be ended. And since Fox is incapable of making a decent FF movie, you don't want Cumberbatch forced to play a dumbass-version of VvD put together by Fox.

If they killed off Tony Stark, they lose me. These aren't comic books, or even serial tv shows. You can't just bring him back later...

Thoughts on Civil War:

- I didn't like the idea in the comic books. There's two takeaways from that - I may still not like it. However, the format and the changes required due to Khross's stated reasons it doesn't work in the other thread may make a formerly bad idea palatable.

- Contrary to Khross's hope, Joss Whedon's not going to be able to save a bad idea with great dialogue and directing - because he's not directly involved in the Captain America movies (even though they got him to "script-doctor" the first one.)

- Disney-Marvel's earned themselves a bit of "benefit of the doubt" from me. With the exception of the 2nd and 3rd Iron Man movies, everything they've done in the MCU, thus far, has been a hell of a lot of fun. I thought Guardians of the Galaxy was going to be the stupidest flop on film, and I enjoyed it as much as I liked Avengers.

Thor's reaction here is perfect:

It's been established that Cap has the potential to lift Mjolnir. If Hulk gets mad enough, he can lift it, too.

Captain America can lift Mjolnir.

When he needs to. I have no problem with him shifting it, but not lifting it, as a party dare.

Oh, and Ororo Munroe can lift Mjolnir, doing so in fact to destroy the clone (Stormcaster I think) that Loki made to mind control her.

Storm doesn't exist in the same continuity as the MCU, so that one won't matter.

MCU Continuity Hulk likely won't be able to lift Mjolnir, but Steve most assuredly should be able to, as should Loki (for entirely different reasons).

I think Steve able to shift the hammer a bit is hinting that he will be able to lift it. Whether or not they ever need to work that into a story is another matter.

The qualities Odin was looking to instill in Thor are the same qualities that earned Steve Rogers the super soldier serum.

Unless that's happened within the last decade, this is false. Even after the hammer had been sitting dormant for over a century, a supercharged and insane alternate-future Hulk was unable to lift it (and super pissed that even after all the time that has passed, he still couldn't).

Hulk has been shown to fully stop the Juggernaut though (and the look on Juggy's face right before he gets an uppercut was priceless).

If Numbuk says the Hulk can't do something, the Hulk definitely can't do it.

I was very much waaaay into the Hulk in the mid 2000s, this is true. I collected everything Hulk as well as completed entire back-issue sets. I was a part of several message boards dedicated to everything Hulk with super-uber-fans and knowledge of the character to match.

But then I got a new job which required me to leave 1.5 hours early because of commuter traffic as well as got engaged within a couple months of that. My comic collecting suffered and pretty much died off instantly. So pretty much everything after World War Hulk I am not as savvy on with the green goliath. I still have no clue what the whole Red Hulk ordeal was about.

So my knowledge is still good up to a point.

It isn't your knowledge I refer to, Ogre-san, but your fanboyism.

It's like if I were complaining about something Joss Whedon did, you know it really sucks.

Like his "lightning toad" contribution to the first X-Men movie script?

Yes. Although he's right...it would have been better if she'd said it right. The director Bryan Singer didn't understand what he meant in that line. It wasn't a declaritive, "The same thing that happens to everything else!" It was curious, "I wonder what happens to a toad struck by lightning? Oh, huh. Looks like the same thing that happens to everything else." Not amazingly funny, but much less corny.

(The "You're a dick" line was also his.)

I have noticed that he has never owned up to anything that people have found negative. It's always someone else's fault somehow. It's quite interesting.

Hearing Joss tell this story and deliver the line properly in person was nice.

(He also explained the meaning of the cheese guy from the Buffy dream episode: "Because cheese is funny.")
