Marvel Thread (Movies, Comics, etc)

I'm hoping Dr. Strange gives Marvel some sort of direction because despite being excited to see more Taika Thor, Marvel has felt aimless since End Game. If these movies aren't building to something, I'm not sure what the point is.

Yea there is a lot of splintering happening right now. Though, thats how it was before the first avengers movie before things started to pop off. I think the universe is re-establishing, but they are need to start driving some good stuff soon.

I honestly haven't watched any of the stuff after End Game. Want to get to the netflix stuff, but its such a time commitment.

Daredevil is worth a watch as a standalone series regardless of everything else.

Daredevil is worth a watch as a standalone series regardless of everything else.

I should clarify haven't watched the newer Netflix stuff. I've gone through Daredevil, Punisher etc. The stuff after End Game though haven't watched (Loki, WandaVision etc)

That's all on Disney+ (including all of the old Netflix stuff). I would watch WandaVision before Dr. Strange in May, imo. Moon Knight has been excellent, although it hasn't tied into the MCU yet (through 3 episodes).

Source of the post I would watch WandaVision before Dr. Strange in May, imo.

I have yet to watch WandaVision. Is it truly a prerequisite? I'm considering seeing Dr. Strange in the theater.

Well, considering Wanda is in the trailer for Dr. Strange a bit, knowing what she's been up to might help.

Postby **nocera** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:24 pm

Since it looks like the story heavily revolves around Wanda, I would say yes.

god damnit

Netflix...Disney+ ..whatever haha. We have all of those streaming services...so we could watch them if need be.

I also don't think you have to watch WandaVision for the new Dr. Strange..watch a 5 minute recap video of the season and you are probably set honestly.

Postby **nocera** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:26 pm

Of all the Disney+ shows, I liked Wanda the best. It actually takes advantage of the medium.

Postby **Rylan** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:26 pm

lol oops, i completely forgot about the disney+ stuff...but they are also good.

Wanda is super hot throughout Wandavision. It’s worth a watch. It’s also a solid show to top it off.

Postby **skullman80** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:26 pm

We will probably see Dr. Strange in theaters since it comes out right after my birthday....Iron Man was always good for that when those movies were coming out, usually right on or around my birthday.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:27 pm

I was planning on watching it, just not right now. I guess I can start it tomorrow. I'll just binge it during my lunch TV session.

Postby **NTP66** » Mon Apr 18, 2022 1:29 pm

I bought a bunch of Regal ticket/concession stand gift cards last week, so I'm trying to figure out what I want to see in the theater. Dr. Strange is probably the most obvious choice, but I'm also considering Top Gun, Jurassic World Dominion, and Thor. Or all of them now that I think about it.

Wait that last shot in the trailer is Lady Thor/Natalie Portman? lol

Postby **NTP66** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 9:29 am

Unfortunately, yes.

Postby **skullman80** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 9:47 am

I'm not a huge comic person, but why is everyone so upset about Portman being Lady Thor? That's a thing in the comics no?

Postby **NTP66** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 9:48 am

She's not a great actress? And she was **** in the series before?

Postby **NTP66** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 9:48 am

And also, nobody cares about Lady Thor. We all want more Chris Hemsworth as Thor.

Postby **nocera** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 9:50 am

Lady Thor is silly. And the more people that can hold Mjolnir, the less special it becomes.

Side note, remember when Pepper Pots suddenly became Rescue in End Game? That was silly.

Watch Daredevil. Easily the best. And even if there wasn't this MCU, it's a great series.

If you want to watch the others, I did enjoy all of them (Punsiher, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones).

Jessica Jones season 1 was great IMO. But 2 and 3 were ok.

Postby **NTP66** » Tue Apr 19, 2022 10:16 am

Iron Fist is the only one that I would not watch a second time, and would probably suggest not bothering watching it a first time.

Daredevil and Punisher should be watched multiple times.
