Quote: I'd have preferred Monica Rambeau, who at least has a unique powerset and isn't a female version of a previous male superhero. I think Monica's powers are a bit too hard to really do well... She's rather massively powered in some respects, and would require a fair amount of exposition to explain what's she's doing in others. I think the film has a real chance to carve out the title as Carol Danver's own, first and foremost to the vast majority of audiences. I'll be curious to see if there even is a Mar-Vell. Of course, with it falling inbetween the two parts of "Avengers: Infinity War" one wonders how involved it will be in that. I'm also curious as to how soon Carol herself will be introduced. Quote: Another reason I'm approaching Ant-Man with caution.Ant-Man is actually the reason I'm surprised they went and announced as much as they did. It feels like a film that was compromised and compromised and then should have been cancelled but they couldn't back out of it at that point. I'm surprised that something like "The Inhumans" would be announced so early, boxing them in somewhat when certainly nobody would have missed it had it not been mentioned. Quote: Quote:That's the film that most interests me, aside of course from the big Avengers entries. I'm automatically prejudiced against something called Civil War but I'll hold out hope for something better written this time. I actually meant the Black Panther film itself, and not Cap: Civil War. Count me amount those who grew less interested in the sequel when that angle came out. Honestly, I feel the truckloads of money they spent to get Robert Downey Jr. to costar in that one weren't really well spent. But I still suspect it could be quite good based on the last Cap film. Quote: Quote:One assumes they would all be heavily involved in the Civil War Cap sequel, but who knows? I've heard that Avengers 2 will end with a new line-up, so perhaps the time has come for Cap's Kooky Quartet? That would require Cap, though, and the actor seems reluctant to reprise his role beyond his existing obligations. I've seen him go back and forth... he seemed to be rather reenergized by the reception of Cap 2 and certainly walked back prior comments, and has just been speaking of the role enthusiastically now. Of course, I suspect he'll be gunned down in "Civil War", only to be restored via the Infinity Gauntlet in either part 1 or 2 of that film anyway. As for Agent Carter, I really like the premise, the time period, the cast... Here's hoping the show lives up to all of it! | |||||||
