For those looking for some "Light" reading during the MCU dry period in their anticipation for Avengers 4
https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers/comments/92z9rz/comprehensive_compilation_of_a4_rumors_leaks_and/

SUpposedly tons of detective work, speculation, analysis of leaked set pics and rumors mixed together to create some interesting ideas for what is possible in Avengers 4.

I haven't read any of it... yet, but I wanted to post it here so it's easy to find later just in case I change my mind.

edit:
and I'll just throw this in for the heck of it

Iron Fist S2 trailer.

I am so on board. Looks great. And the Daughters of the Dragon reunite

certainly looks much better than the 1st season... and LC S2, and The Defenders. Not high bars, but a leap in the right direction.

Despite backlash, Disney confirms it won’t rehire James Gunn

James Gunn won’t be rehired, but Alan Horn met with him to “clear the air.”

Bob Chipman (moviebob on the YouTubes) floated the idea that Horn, a possible successor to Bob Iger who is set to retire in the next few years, hastily fired James Gunn in July but repeatedly refused to rehire Gunn because he didn’t want to appear weak or indecisive if a lower level executive (Kevin Feige) could convince him to change his mind. The meeting between Horn and Gunn may have been to discuss Gunn’s future with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Apparently, James Gunn has a pay or play contract so not only does Disney have to pay him for the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 script they’re using (the movie is in pre-production so restarting from scratch is not really an option), but it has to pay him to not direct the movie. Chipman mused that who Disney/Marvel chooses as James Gunn’s replacement could hint at what is really be happening here. If one of the actors or even Sean Gunn were hired, this would suggest that James Gunn, who is getting paid either way, won’t get credit for directing though he will be heavily involved with production. That may be the best case scenario if James Gunn isn’t fully reinstated.

Basically:

1. Alan Horn fired James Gunn as a knee-jerk reaction to alt-right faux outrage
2. Real outrage from people for Gunn’s firing, not his tweets
3. Public support for Gunn from cast and crew as well as behind the scenes support from Kevin Feige/Marvel
4. Horn realizes he done fucked up
5. Horn and Gunn meet to “clear the air” AKA discuss how Horn can both save face and keep Gunn in involved with Vol. 3 and the cosmic side of the MCU
6. Marvel hires say, Sean Gunn to direct Vol. 3 but James Gunn’s fingerprints are all over the movie
7. No one will fucking remember this in a year

LOL. Seriously not hiring him back to save face. Oh no can't show weakness to the underlings!

A bit late there pal. What goes on in the mind of these people?

RE:IW

What are the potential solutions in the sequel to undo the stupid hole they have dug themselves into? Are they going to go on some Dragon Ball Z mcguffin collectathon to summon a greater power? Science the **** out of this? Thantos cries and undoes it all? Go back in time to kill Thantos back when he was purple? Throw him out of an airlock because he can't breath in space?

I think it’s more that Horn is trying not to show weakness to Disney’s Board of Directors because he’s angling for Iger’s gig. Either way, his hasty decision to ax James Gunn displayed poor leadership and did more damage to Disney in the short term than was ever necessary. Had Disney released a simple statement, everyone would have just turned into the shrug emoji and moved on.

First official look at Captain Marvel.

Looks awesome, too bad she's missing the sash though.

**** yeah

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #3534 on:** September 07, 2018, 10:03:38 PM »

Finished Iron Fist S2. Really enjoyed it. Actually up there with my favourites. Definitely looking forward to season 3 whenever it arrives.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #3535 on:** September 11, 2018, 10:00:04 AM »

Why does Captain Marvel look like she doesn't want to be there in all the character shots?

oohhboy · « **Reply #3536 on:** September 11, 2018, 10:43:24 AM »

Oh god, that awful tag line. "The future is female". Not only is that completely unnecessary, it just paints targets. You want to normalise females in action movies, not point them out as an exception. It's going to get ugly if it ends up being mediocre. It's got hints of setting it up to fail.

Adrock · « **Reply #3537 on:** September 11, 2018, 11:30:00 AM »

I’m conflicted regarding the suit. It looks like a Captain Marvel suit (minus the sash), but it looks over-designed, busy. There are a lot of seams. Why are there so many seams? It’s as if they thought the original comic book look was too simple then overcompensated.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #3538 on:** September 11, 2018, 04:37:56 PM »

I miss the sash. I really wanted the sash.

nickmitch · « **Reply #3539 on:** September 11, 2018, 05:06:20 PM »

The movie should end with her randomly finding a sash, and going "Oh, this would look cute". Better yet, that should be the post credits scene.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #3540 on:** September 11, 2018, 05:22:39 PM »

She has that red belt instead so I doubt we'll see one.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #3541 on:** September 11, 2018, 05:29:32 PM »

There so so many seams for the same reason every costume does - without them everyone would look super plain like Superman from the 70s.

Adrock · « **Reply #3542 on:** September 11, 2018, 05:54:50 PM »

Spider-Man suit doesn’t have a lot of seams. It has the traditional webbing design and some other bits of flair like the black bands around his arms. It’s a nice, clean look. I was hoping Captain Marvel’s suit would lean more toward that end of the spectrum. Maybe the Russo brother will dial it back in Avengers 4. It can stand to be plainer, and brighter to be honest.

And Richard Donnor’s Superman suit is still the best looking one despite literally being spandex. Bryan Singer and Zack Snyder tried to update it, and both looked off. The colors are too dark. Also, one has to wonder why Superman’s suit has to be all that fancy to begin with. It isn’t as if he needs armor.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #3543 on:** September 11, 2018, 06:03:54 PM »

I think the colors are actually correct in Superman Returns and Man of Steel, just the films themselves have the strange coloring. In Superman 3 you can see the color isn't as oversaturated as it is in the original.

Adrock · « **Reply #3544 on:** September 11, 2018, 06:30:27 PM »

If the films themselves have strange coloring, it follows that the suits also have strange coloring because that’s what we see. The color of the suit in the film itself is the only one that really matters so ultimately, I’ll base my final thoughts on Captain Marvel’s suit on what’s shown in the film. I suppose one can argue that we haven’t seen the movie let alone a trailer yet so if the red, blue, and yellow suit ends up somehow being brighter in the final cut, I owe you a coke.

oohhboy · « **Reply #3545 on:** September 11, 2018, 08:28:20 PM »

Yeah, the colour irl and what ends up on film tend to be very different for one reason or another. If you're doing high speed the object will be lit very brightly and made more colourful to compensate for less exposure time. Also it is easier to tone down colours, reduce detail than adding back in. Knowing the standard looks the Marvel movies have it will look a lot more subdued.

Have a look at Iron Man magazine covers. They look awful. All magazine covers look awful.

Wouldn't it be funny if they cast him as the villain Hyperion, which is pretty much and egotistical evil supes.

Hell yes I am soooo in. That looks amazing, and definitely up there with my favourite MCU trailers thus far.

Also the poster shows her cat Chewie which pleases me immensely.

Brie Larson does not want to be here.
