Still weird.

I'm a fan of comic book movies being made for comic book people.

It's all nonsense to even discuss in-depth because it's irrelevant. It would still be weird to many people. It would then become weird to those who are interested in studying the source material, etc. Good thing they agreed that it'd be weird.

Huh?

Faithfulness to the source material?

Civil War was about as far as you could get from the source material and still call it by the same name.

And Infinity War was _nothing_ like the comic of the same name.

Plus, even granting that it was adapting Infinity Gauntlet rather than Infinity War, the deviations from even those issues are incredible -- esp. given that literally half the major characters play no role.

We are so far past *fidelity to the source material* in the MCU movies it's ridiculous.

I long for the good ole' days when the fanboys griped at the original Spider-Man film because his web shooters were (gasp!) organic rather than mechanical.

 

Besides...you're the one who has been saying for weeks now that the films themselves now have their own internal mythology that is separate from (and rightfully detached from) the comics.

Pick a side and be consistent...

Apparently you glossed over the "completely irrelevant" part of my post.

It's not even worth discussing something that ultimately doesn't matter. Idk why you want to pick a pointless fight over a single sentence that is meaningless outside of the perception being "weird"...

Fully CGI Character = Adam Warlock?

As much as I wish it were Silver Surfer, I agree with posters above that Disney would likely not have gone ahead with development until *after* the Fox deal was finalized.

Avengers: Infinity Gauntlet Endgame poster contributor Matt Ferguson sharing his work. He made sure to point out Ant-Man is actually included. You just have to look real hard to find him.

A video leaked with several major moments from Avengers Endgame:

-Professor Hulk sounds just like Mark Ruffalo, and can speak full sentences. He’s seen wearing a tank top and glasses.

-Scott, Hulk, Steve, and Tony travel to the battle of New York to retrieve the mind, space, and time stone. Steve fights his past self.

-Thor is living with Korg and Miek, getting drunk and not caring about what happened. Hulk and Rocket go to get him, and his beard and hair are messy and grown out.

-Tony calls Rocket “Ratchet,” and Rocket replies “you’re only a genius on Earth.”

-Hulk tried to wield the Stark gauntlet, but it appears to be too powerful for him.

-Steve dual wields his shield and Mjolnir, it’s unclear how mjolnir comes back.

-Sam is the first dusted avenger to come back, we hear him say to Steve “On Your Left,” then we see T’challa and Shuri coming out of a portal, and Sam flying out.

-Big scene with all the Avengers, including Wasp, the Guardians, Spider-Man, vs Thanos and a revived Black Order. It looks like the big fight in Ready Player One, but we actually care about the characters. Captain America finally says “Avengers Assemble!”

-Stark reunites with Peter and gives him a hug

-Carol gets the short hair she has in recent comics, and Peter Parker gives her the Stark Gauntlet

For the toy geeks...go pick up the Hot Toys version of this Iron Man.  1/6 scale of pure awesomeness.  Pre-orders are available and some sites have it ready for shipping.  Range is from $600 - $800.

Order at least 2-3 in case one breaks. :insane:
