      @@coreyburns4168Ya know what, you’re right. And honestly, it’s probably better if you take Secret Invasion out of the storyline. Him losing faith in the Avengers makes NO sense, now that Rian mentions it. The only reason why that’d be important is that means the next Avengers lineup could be arranged by someone like Doom instead!
      Imagine in the next saga, Doom leads the next Avengers against the new X-Men in the next saga. A war instigated from the shadows by Mr. Sinister! The main hero is Kamala Khan, who has to find the common ground with both teams to unite them. I just can’t decide if the main villain should be Doom or Sinister.

  • @kittycheshire5099
    @kittycheshire5099 Před 3 měsíci +39

    I just don't get why Secret Invasion didn' happen after The Marvels. There needed to be a catalyst for why the Skrulls try to take over, a straw that breaks the camels back. The last Skrull colony being destroyed and the sudden influx of refugees to Earth could have been that, especially since they would blame Earth heroes for the destruction. That would just make more sense and one story would be leading to another.

      I'm pretty sure they hold the rights to whatever plan he would've left when they fired him so they could've used it if they wanted (or could finish based on notes). They probably didn't think they should use it because of why they fired him so they hastily started rewrites (a la Star Wars).

  • @Vader47000
    @Vader47000 Před 3 měsíci +21

    The Secret Invasion story for the most part makes more sense if it takes place after The Marvels, which was probably the original intent. The increased tensions of the Skrulls not having a home make more sense in the wake of their colony’s destruction. But then scheduling chaos pushed SI to air before the movie, which meant the colony existing afterwards would negate the show’s storyline. So they added a hastily filmed line about the colony existing to try to handwave over the obvious plot hole, and in the process created another one because no one was minding the store.

    For many years, Hollywood writers and producers have treated movie goers like idiots that don't understand anything that they can't see in their real lives. This leads to The Silver Surfer serving a smoke monster Galactus since they felt normal giant person was too hard to grasp. They are still doing this.

      Also, with the Eternals, rather than starting after _Endgame_ so they're indirectly responsible for countless atrocities by inaction (the canon version), why not establish at the beginning of the film that it's in an alternate universe, really take advantage of the multiverse angle? Maybe have the Watcher, Doctor Strange, or Strange Supreme be looking in on a universe which never had Avengers. After all, the film's greatest strength was the theme of moral legislation, which goes down the toilet if Captain America morally legislated how superhumans should use their powers in the 1940s.

    My understanding is that the first cycle had Joss Whedon doing some type of planning. I remember hearing that he was keeping things in line to make everything in the first 2 Avengers movies somewhat coherent. When he was broken by A2, they stayed on the rails until the end of Infinity War. And then…

    • @MrBazBake

      Whedon left because he didn't have control and Marvel kept telling him what to do. Notice how his movies keep undoing the plots of the side characters and he ignored their development completely?

  • @CandorianWonder
    @CandorianWonder Před 3 měsíci +6

    Thank you! Someone said it! I always appreciate seeing something about Captain Marvel.
    Carols NEEDS a character driven story about failure and loss, that's what made her first outing a billion dollar film. If we had gotten your prorosed CM2, Carol would have been the glue that stuck the cosmic story lines together. Also, seeing her fail to stop a war she accidentally made into a near genocide would have been powerful to see and her redemption from it would have been even more so. I think I literally commented some of this on your previous video recently involving Carol so I'm glad to see we're on a similar wavelength in terms of our hope of a framework/meaning for the cosmic side, where the lore could have been strengthened, and how stellar and important these characters are and could be to the cosmic story's weave.

    • @mnguardianfan7128
      @mnguardianfan7128 Před 2 měsíci +1

      Exactly! I think her character has not been served well at all by Marvel at all.
      She has moments, but that is it.
      Ryan is correct that she could have (should have) been at the heart of epic story lines. Especially with incredible story lines of the Kree and the Skrulls.
      Her character is now tied to Ms Marvel (who I like) but not with much ability to really lead a team.
      Also, as an aside, I think the misogynist hatred of Bree Larson did play a role here. Disgusting but true.

    @MusicLover-my6fo Před 3 měsíci +2

    I honestly believe that the reason why Marvel doesn't seem to have a concrete plan regarding their cosmic stories is because of how James Gunn wrote and directed the Guardians. The MCU's first real step into the cosmic was with the Guardians but because Gunn put so many creative liberties into each film that the screen iterations of the Guardians have almost nothing in common with their comic counterparts, it just would've been difficult to reform some of the cosmic arcs from the comics because of the Guardians. Whatever cosmic stories that the screenwriters would've pulled from the comics would've had to have been tweaked in some capacity due to Guardians.

    What's tragic is how the writing team behind Capt Marvel seems to leave their most interesting stories in flashbacks. We could've had Marvel's shortened version of Smallville with the Carol Danvers child flashbacks (which seemed to ONLY be made so the trailers could bait the radfem audience). Not sure why THIS wasn't the first half of the movie that we got...
    Now we find out that the sequel that got canned for the team-up movie was the double-down of "topple the society that keeps you down!" and they didn't want to run it with the Marvels?? So we once again get just another movie with better stakes and a consistent throughline in a flashback, "The better movie 2, flashbacks strike back". Marvel definitely isn't run by the same people who took the risk with Iron man as their opening movie, either that or someone somewhere thought "nah, capt marvel is the female power fantasy, she can't be seen *losing*" and scrapped a compelling character arc (where she was actually good but not doing it the way that's best for her). Instead we just see that without her powers she was nothing, because she's a blunt instrument who doesn't show any knowledge of finesse or adaptation. I say this having never seen The Marvels.

    Having been a lifelong fan of cosmic marvel (I started reading comics with Silver Surfer 50 and the Infinity Gauntlet) it’s so frustrating seeing this video because you are 100% right.
    The Abnett & Lanning cosmic run are my favourite comics ever and there is such a rich untapped vein of stories there that are just begging to be made into film.
    Gunn did well worth the guardians but that should have launched so much more but I dunno, feels like they’ve been holding it back??
    IMO the multiverse and secret wars stories are too soon… Can only think this is because they want to bring in the existing fox roster to interact with the existing characters before they get too old (the root cause is not wanting to recast like you’ve spoken about).
    Imagine the stories playing out like you detailed and then when everything seems quiet, Ultron returns after a piece of him escaped the atmosphere and combines with the Phalanx!!
    They could merge the Annihilation Conquest with the Xmens Phalanx Covenant story from the 90s 🤷🏻

    They should get EVERY SURVIVING AUTHOR that wrote the greats to be consultants. Are Claremont or Jim Starlin alive? (R.I.P. John Byrne, M.Gruenwald, etc.) As a Marvel Zombie that read comics from 1975-2005, I am beyond words underwhelmed by the MCU's 20 year stretch. There's been story arcs that've won Eisner Awards (Oscars for comics) that they've consistently BLOWN as you've so eloquently detailed here. With few exceptions. They could literally pull 75% dialogue straight from the books & just turn paper into film. I think the #1 problem is too much creative license and complete DISRESPECT to the glory of rich canon history & the fans. The damn writers & producers could just do slight ad lib & take all the credit.
    I have little hope that they can do anything other than a COMPLETE REBOOT, hopefully after getting Spidey licenses from Sony. Retire Kevin Feige & KK. Elon Musk buys Disney. Fix Star Wars Disney era & start Marvel from scratch. Do FF right. Do least 1 movie with original X-Men, Avengers & Guardians of Galaxy. Before introducing later, better known characters. There is no "superhero fatigue", only CRAP NON-CANON FATIGUE. Screw the Ultimate universe. Give us WW3 Nick Fury & Howling Commandos fighting alongside Logan, Cap & the Invaders. Do Earth right, including regular heroes & street level/heroes for hire types. And cosmic stuff right like Kree/Shiar/Skrull, Negative Zone, Galactus/Heralds/Quasar/(real)Mar-Vell.
    Keep narcissists & fan-hating Liberal agendas OUT of good story telling. If it worked before 20-50 years ago, non fans will love it too. No excuses. It will even bring value back to old comics & cause quality to come back to the entire comics industry again. Meanwhile all we can do is cherish the great memories we have of the books, and of the maybe 5-8 DECENT movies that have been made such as Maguire Spidey 1, IronMan1, Japan Wolverine, Capt 1-2, Black Panther 1, Guardians 2(?) and Avengers up to Infinity War. Everything else has basically SUCKED. Couple shows were ok like Falcon/WS, Iron Fist s1 & Shield s1. Other than that, I don't think I would sit through anything else ever again.
    Stan Lee talked about doing movies since the early 70s & died rich, but he was a freaking SELL OUT. He should've insisted in keeping canon. It's what separated Marvel from everyone else. It inspired trivia geekness where books had to refer all past history to the books they referred to with notes constantly. Consistency was king. It made it cool to be a geek, fan that knew the details. Most of everything now is watered down bubblegum used toilet paper versions of Marvel's previous glory. Like many other franchises. It's sad that almost nothing matters these days except a quick buck. Disney DESERVES the loss of every cent of the billions they're lost as retribution for spitting in the face of history, the Americana, the culture, and of both the creators & the fans. But at least Stan died filthy rich....
    NUFF SAID

    Here's a fun idea; Marvel could still do that story for a third Captain Marvel movie unifying the cosmic stuff. They've already done at least one interquel with Black Widow, filling the gap between Civil War and Infinity War.
    They've used scenes in Black Widow and the Ant-man movies to hint at a "lost era" set of stories during the '70s and '80s. The first Captain Marvel was also a gap filling movie, since it was set in 1989 and 1995.
    I love that they're good at adjusting things down the line and often succeed.

    A big problem with the cosmic side of Marvel is that it lacks a sense of scale. The Kree rule over an entire dwarf galaxy. Their war with the Skrulls spanned over hundreds of planets. It should have been portrayed like the Clone Wars or the Dominion War from Star Trek with battles between fleets of ships.

  • @gatomon2002
    @gatomon2002 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Captain Marvel should of been introduced earlier in the infinity saga... maybe in phase 2. And Phase 3 could of had an ACTUAL Captain Marvel 2 movie focusing on her being "The Annihilator" I would LOVE to see a follow up right after Cap. Marvel 1 when she destroys the supreme intelligence and plunge the glaxy into a civil war. Make her into a villain/morally gray character in that story, then give her a good redemption arc. I want to see that regret, guilt etc Cap Marvel goes through. I just feel between the Cap Marvel and The Marvels movie, there is a HUGE story/event gap that should of been done.

    It seems to be the train in Hollywood to waste great stories. I have not seen a movie in recent times. It has not done that very thing. It’s like they’re afraid to actually do a good job.

    • @editmanrgg2844
      @editmanrgg2844 Před 3 měsíci

      Mainly because today's writers are not creative, passionate and/or nerdy about the source material.
      Many writers and directors are commission by Disney/Kevin Fiege to make MCU movies for D+ and to churn out content they lack the experience to the reference of the comics.

  • @Barot8
    @Barot8 Před 3 měsíci +2

    I don't see Disney/Marvel correcting their downward spiral. I think Deadpool 3 will be fun though I see Marvel shoved their TVA nonsense into Deadpool 3 for no real reason other than to maybe kill off key characters with no repercussions. James Gunn totally ruined Warlock. He made him an idiot and didn't really show his power at all. In the comics Warlock went toe to to with Thanos. Also Gunn made Drax the Destroyer an idiot as well. In the comic Drax is basically indestructible. He is practically cursed. He can't really destroy Thanos but Thanos can't actually finish off Drax. Anyway, there's no sign Marvel will turn their films or tv around at all.

  • @VannGodfrey

    NAILED IT PERFECTLY! - the MCU needs at two cinematic "editor-in-chief's - one exclusively for Earth-based stories - one for cosmic stories - and nothing get's approved or released without their review and approvals - it used to be Kevin, but it's obviously not the current case any longer

  • @micolebautista9578
    @micolebautista9578 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Unfortunately, Chadwick Boseman died. I suspect Black Panther and Wakanda were originally intended as the anchor for Phase IV / V. In the comics, T'chala / Wakanda had links with Namor, Doom, FF, magic, Captain Marvel, Xmen, and even its own space empire -- more than enough material to move MCU forward. Black Panther aside, Chadwick had the gravitas to replace RDJ as the new centre. After Chadwick died, life had to go on but the MCU didn't have a ready character / actor to step in and be that anchor. Hence, we got the string of meh movies / TV series. MCU then tried to anchor on Kang -- but. no go either. It's likely the next phases will be anchored by Reed - Doom feud, then Krakoa, then who knows.

    I’m really hoping cap 4 has some sort of pay off for secret invasion and the marvels. The marvels was super fun but secret invasion was done just horribly, but I still think marvel is gonna start paying off on some things. But also yes, we NEED hulkling, I was really disappointed he wasn’t introduced in the marvels, maybe Cap 4 but I just don’t know.

    WandaVision happened after Wanda lost her parents her twin brother and because of number 14, 000,605 lost the man she loved twice once by her own hand. Redemption arc or not how were people expecting her to just let him die a third time and and her own children to the list?
    Anyone who saw her reading the Darkhold in the end credit scene would say she's desperately trying to bring them back.
    Which explains how she was so easily corrupted to evil the next time we saw her.

    What would have fixed the cosmic stories is Agents of SHIELD/Inhumans.
    The Kree created the Inhumans to fight the Skrulls.
    Keeping Kamala an Inhuman means she would have had more of a connection to Carol & her story with the Kree than just having light based powers.

    #2 Show Kang winning every battle like Thanos in infinty war not only did thanos able to defeat the hulk but also was able to take on all of the guardians of galaxy along with ironman , spiderman and dr strange so make kang win more fights
    #3 Show kang win in avengers Kang dyasnty and becomes God of the mutliverse and creates battleworld instead of the beyonder then have Kang be killed by dr doom becoming God emperor doom

    The disappointing thing is that I remember them talking about James Gunn basically being the over arching person for the cosmic side of the MCU before he was fired, so it would’ve been interesting had they followed through with that to see if he could have created a better narrative to connect all of the cosmic stories together.

    I finally watched the Marvels. It was better than I expected. Dar-Ben was pretty boring and forgetful. The reveal of annihilator moniker and Dar Ben being there could have been shown better. They didn’t make her an interesting villain, her boring costume, odd teeth situation and lack of captivating dialogue made her forgettable.
