What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

I’m definitely not a right winger and I’m not a fan of Captain Marvel’s character. I thought she was pretty bland and I’m not at all a fan of ultra invincible unstoppable characters like her or Superman in any context, really. She did absolutely nothing interesting in Endgame either. I like my superheroes to be vulnerable, which is why Batman especially has always been my #1

Really? Her sarcasm and spunk wasn't enough character for you? I thought she was super likeable. And invincible characters can certainly work in the right context. I mean they downplay it but Thor could totes fight Superman. Ironman could hold his own too even if he couldn't win. It's all about the presentation. The whole reason you think of Superman as invincible is because the dichotomy between his power and his personality as a humble aw schucks farmboy is his defining characteristic, which has been kind of lost in the last few decades.

Yea, she's feisty. I also think op heroes breed op villains which keep raising the epicness bar.

If Wandavision is popular then that's two potential Avengers to shake up the roster. If Falcon and Winter Soldier is popular enough then I imagine Marvel might make a judgement call on adding one of them as a Captain America replacement. Then there's the Hulk. Then there's Starlord. Then blah blah blah who knows, but Spider-Man is set in stone along with Dr. Strange and Black Panther.

I like that lineup altho i would maybe add Falcon as Captain America and maybe some guiding cameo by daddy Iron man. Its a solid lineup power wise but idk how their characters are gonna blend in without an integral character like Iron man for exmpl. I could see Strange or Capt marvel stepping up to be that kinda character but i have no idea how that is gonna go.

Personally i wouldnt add Wanda cus i think she's above an avenger and vision would be a great addition if he wasnt portrayed as such a pansy.

And yeah they're definitely gonna add the X-Men to the MCU within the next few years (Fantastic Four too since they were a Fox property). Too bad Hugh Jackman won't be a part of it cause I don't know how they're gonna follow with the next Wolverine. Would have been amazing to have him as an Avenger. He even joined the Avengers at the same time as Spider-Man in the comics.

Bro they're explicitly building Spider-Man as the replacement for Iron Man in the Avengers.

Good points on the presentation of invincible characters. I guess I just found Brie Larson’s lack of acting range to be off-putting. She had some cool quips and funny lines but that’s on the backs of the brilliant writers of the MCU. It also doesn’t help that she’s part of a universe that has like 20 characters that I like a lot more

Nice, both are incredible films. I honestly have a hard time picking which I prefer

The other top tier animated Batman film is Under the Red Hood, highly recommended
