Eh, I dunno. They didn't tease his scene in First Class.

Either way I am cautiously optimistic about this film, enough to even give TJ Miller a pass (fuck that guy).

After what happened in Wolverine: Origins I really hope they do right by Deadpool, but I won't be surprised if they really fuck it up. CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM HO!!!

Not that I know of. Most of my knowledge comes from having read the leaked script (which I lost when my old laptop died) and the SDCC phone trailer.

Nope, Fox is waiting for like 2 weeks for when they release the trailer in theaters from what I've been told.

Fuck! Ant-Man apparently had a second credits scene, but I'd left because it was super late (after midnight with work the next day) and fucking AoU didn't have one so I didn't think this one did. I know, partly my fault for leaving but mostly AoU's fault because how the fuck did that not have one.

Not to rub it in or anything but the second post-credits scene was pretty good. Also, I kind of feel like if you don't stay for the whole thing then you aren't really committed.

That's a fucking low blow and you know it.

And I'm still confused and annoyed that they didn't have a proper post-credits scene for AoU but had a second one for Ant Man of all things. Sure, it either ends phase 2 or starts phase 3*, but still, it's less significant a movie than its predecessor.

*I don't care what Marvel says, I still say it starts phase 3, even moreso after seeing it.

In the end I guess it doesn't matter how we see the importance of the individual films. Like, I get where you're coming from, I know a bunch of people who won't watch say, any of the Captain America films because they "don't like the character" (granted these people don't know what they're talking about but whatever). Marvel are very obviously taking the approach that each film is a chapter in a larger story. More and more each film is containing references and allusions to the other films that you're outright going to miss if you haven't seen. I guess whether there are two post credit scenes or one will be up to the individual directors.  At this stage I'd say always assume there are two and worst case scenario is that you wasted five minutes of your life that you likely would have wasted anyway.

No, that's not it at all. I've seen all the movies/shows and love the connected universe. But I already knew I fucked up by leaving early, I was objecting to you rubbing it in.  Also I had a reasonable expectation of only one because AoU set that precedent. Still, not a mistake I plan to make again.

I finally saw it today and it was pretty great. Definitely one of the funnier movies in the series, which we need now and then. Agreeing that the villain was super creepy. Stoll did a great job. I hope Rudd gets involved with more scripts in the series. I didn't know he has been until the credits rolled, but it showed and I liked it.

Saw Ant-Man yesterday.  It was a good movie, and the action was fantastic, but the human elements felt a bit ham-handed.  Sort of like "hey, this is important, so we will tell you that it is important."  Overall, a good flick, but it suffers the problem of all Marvel movies in that it is not The Avengers.

So. Who else is sick of the sheer writhing mass that is the MCU? There is just so. much. shit. The initial run up to Avengers Assemble was so perfect, and I've only seen a couple of the films since, but I feel like I don't even want to, there's just too much of it. I would just see the big ones, but I feel like you need to see the little ones to truly get everything out of the big ones and then it's just like having five things I want to watch on Netflix and so deciding to watch nothing.

I agree that MCU are getting greedy with the number of spin-offs and only semi-related new films being proposed. It would have been better if they'd remained focussed entirely on the core character group and the main story thread and not succumbed to the temptation to tack on a set of Squirrel Girls to rake in more cash.

As someone who is aware of a lot of the source material these films, even the lesser known ones, are based on, I feel pretty good about these films (not that I'm reading every comic out there, but I keep an eye on what's coming out and will check out the wiki pages of stuff I don't know much about.). That said, while I think you don't necessarily have to watch every single film to be able to enjoy the Main Events (so to speak) you do probably get more out of those experiences. I can completely understand how a lot of it may seem at best overwhelming and at worst unnecessary and bloated.

Not me, considering that the phase 2 movies were (with the exception of Iron Man 3/Avengers 2) as good or better than their phase 1 counterparts.

I disagree with this idea. There aren't to many spin offs, and nothing is semi-related. I believe it was always the plan to have an evolving Avengers roster, because that's the way the comic worked. Unlike other groups like the Fantastic Four, there hasn't always been a 'core group'. The membership fluctuated all the time as people have active memberships, then go off for a while to maybe return later, or go join other groups. It's always been Marvel's 'anthology group'. Where pretty much anybody can be a member, eventually.

We had the founding members and all of their movies in phase 1 and 2. By the end of Age of Ultron though most of the team had split and gone their own ways, leaving replacements behind. Now we've got the phase 2/3 movies like Ant-Man, Black Panther and Captain Marvel who are all going to be joining the Avengers in time for the big showdown with Thanos. The only movie so far that on the surface seems out of place is Guardians of the Galaxy, but we know that ties very strongly with the overall storline that's been going from the start with Thanos and the Infinity Gems. To be honest the only movie or character I've seen so far that I can't place directly in relation to the overall    storyline and makes me wonder 'why are they doing this' is Doctor Strange.

Are there a lot of characters? Sure. That's the Avengers for you. They've had even more character than the thousand different X-Men books over the years. But whether they fit within the seperate arcs or the overall story all of the characters and movies so far have fit neatly into place.

Well, The Avengers are very comparable to The Justice League. It starts out with a small group and then basically it becomes ever superhero ever. I feel like this can work better with something like, say, Justice League Unlimited, where the episodes are short and in a much more condensed time frame.

That said, I am enjoying the movies and I know I'll be sad when they're over. Mostly because I feel like finally we're getting some really good superhero movies and I don't want that to stop. (I never watched Man of Steel and I feel very little excitement about the DC movies right now.)

Eh, that was really more an ideological difference between the pro- and anti- registration heroes. The Justice Lords thing was 'We're better than everyone else, so we're in charge. If you don't like it, we'll kill you because we can.' That's a much bigger and darker turn than Civil War was. With the way the DCCU is shaping up though, I wouldn't be surprised if they touched on that a bit.

I finally got to watch Ant-Man, and it was hilarious! Probably the funniest MCU movie so far. Michael Pena plays a "funny guy" character, the type that often gets really annoying, but he was actually really funny. The film, imo, got away with many jokes/funny moments that very easily could have been cringy or annoying. The action was also surprisingly entertaining.

In other words, yet another good MCU movie!

Michael Pena is an insanely good actor. It's not Marvel, but I can't remember End of Watch enough, it's IMO his and Jake Gylenhaal's best movie. (I think it was one of the last movies Ebert ever reviewed, he gave it four stars)

I watch and and enjoy it, Inhumans and all. That is one of Shields mandates after all, dealing with the stuff traditional spy agencies aren't equipped to deal to deal with. And in the Marvel universe that generally means super powered threats and super science criminal groups like Hydra and Aim. My biggest gripe is that the show constantly has everyone involved with the Ward plotline juggling the idiot ball. And that the plotline still continues at all.

Hasn't come to the UK yet and I want to wait for it. I like the weekly ritual.

Really enjoying Jessica Jones so far, more than Daredevil tbh although DD had better action.

Daredevil had me going "Holy shit!" way too often with its police brutality. Like, daaaaaamn, they killed everyone.

Jessica Jones was way more psychological in its description of violence, which I found more enjoyable. It also didn't have that hugely disappointing last episode that Daredevil had. And DAMN, could David Tennant have been any better? He's such a fucking creep. Such a great performance.

I must say, I like the more M for Mature thing the TV series have in contrast to the movies. There's a disgustingly graphic portrayal of characters in their last breath after having both their arms cut off. They don't show that shit on TV. And the sex, the sex in Jessica Jones is so good.
