They've got a whole movie to set it up in. However they manage it, I just want a full-on early Wonder Woman scene where she gives a speech about how men are idiots, then teaches Thanos about submission.

Well considering I doubt she's gonna singlehandidly do everything as opposed to just being the person who puts it over the top, its no different than Vision being created half way through Age of Ultron or Wonder Woman showing up at the end of BvS or Thor getting a new hammer to turn the tide in Infinity War. Like, introducing a saving grace in the "last act" is pretty common. And Captain Marvel got teased at the end of Infinity War and will have a whole movie to setup. But like there's no way Tony and Cap aren't heroically sacrificing themselves or something.

There will probably be some sort of story explanation that will sideline them after Endgame but I don't see the studio definitively cutting off the possibility of their return in 3-5 years, if/when Downey and Evans decide they want another big payday.

I read a spoilered plot synopsis of Captain Marvel on reddit and it sounds booooring. Hope it's a fakeout and lot different than the summary suggests, but if not  https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers/comments/asuqti/captain_marvel_plot_leaked_in_douban/

Brother Entropy posted:we gotta institute some rule that if you post a title to a clickbait video you gotta summarize it so the rest of us don't have to seek it out and give it hits to hear the dumbass take within I took the hit and watched the first five minutes. The basis thesis is that because Larson asked for the press on the press tour to not be entirely white and male, this has hurt the films box office chances. Apparently the projected opening has dropped from $160m to $80-100m (which you'll note is not a drop of $100m, only $80m at most). I don't know where this dickhead got those numbers from, or even if they are accurate that the drop is entirely attributable to Larson's request and not people seeing the trailers and deciding the movie looks boring. Maybe the initial projections were just overly optimistic. Then there's some "The SJW menace that killed Star Wars has moved to Marvel!" dribble before I stopped watching, having regretted giving this CHUD a view. I did use UBlock though, so no ad revenue for him from me, yay? I don't like Star Wars or Marvel, but the problem ain't the fact they're casting women. This dudes just a piece of poo poo. Ignore

I don't KNOW that Cap and/or Iron Man and/or Thor or whoever are gonna die. Its just, you know. What we know and what traditional narratives would bring about and how the movie is being hyped with both of them front and center. If they want to kill someone and then 5-10 years from now they decide they want them back I'm sure they can find a way to write around that.

They’re going to go full out and have both Tony and Cap die - but they’ll be brought back by however they Unsnap the universe, and Tony will “retire” so Marvel can pull him out for whatever movie in the future they decide they need him.

I mean, I know nothing about it but my guess is the most natural story device would be for one of them to somehow sacrifice themselves to bring back everyone else. Especially with how much they played that "we don't trade lives" idea with Vision in Infinity War. But its just guessing on themes and stuff. If I had to guess I'd say Cap sacrifices himself and Tony retires.

There are enough people that are programmed to go see comic book movies that the inertia is self sustaining (for now). Who is interviewed or conducts interviews doesn't mean a drat thing.

And not like just comic book movies, but the MCU/Infinity War/Endgame train rolling through. I'd be shocked if some angry incel nerds can really affect that. I'm sure Black Panther had its share of angry shits saying Marvel had gone too far. Even if its the worst MCU movie ever and Brie Larson calls for teh death of all white men people gonna see this because they're invested and its a thing we talk about and the train is rolling.

I think Fist of the North Star deserves another shot at a live action adaptation. Hell, just take the 1986 animated movie plot and go with it. It'd be so good now.

Also the movie is boring trash and has lovely fighting

Nintendo shared universe with Smash Bros. as the big crossover movie where a cosmic entity forces them all the fight before they team up to take it down (which is a comic book as hell premise, being the entire plot to 90% of all "heroes forced to fight" stories)
