Who's the guy in the bottom right? Also, I figured the black Cap's grandson would be in the lineup.

That's the kid from Iron Man 3, also showed up for Tony's funeral in Endgame.

It'd be nuts if he's a Young Avenger, being a movie-original character from over a decade ago

Remember in Iron Man 3 when Tony hung out in a kids garage or something. Yeah, nobody else does either, but that's who that kid apparently is. I had to look it up. That's how hard they are scraping the barrel.

Still surprised they got a white male kid in there. Guess they'll make him gay or trans.

Oh, him. Seems like a bit of a random guess considering there's nothing tethering him to other heroes right now.
 
Wanda's "kids". I assume they were brought to life in some bullshit I haven't seen. Could've been Dr Strange 2, I don't remember anything from that other than she was in it.

Oh. Wandavision was one of the two MCU shows I actually sat through(that and the first season of Loki) before giving up on their tv ventures and I still had no clue.

They don't have any powers though, so I'm not sure why the retard who made this tweet included them or the Iron Man kid.

Hulking was the Skaar we should've seen in She-Hulk, just give him long hair & he's perfect.

No, Hulkling is supposed to get introduced at some point in something, but hasn't yet. And it's not Skaar (also look at how they massacred my boy)

They had magic and superspeed in Wandavision, and presumably will have them again when they pop up in Agatha's show or whatever
 
You may think I'm insane but I do think that the multiverse could work to introduce FF and Xmen, just not in the fanservice way.

Fantastic Four is a family dramedy following them as already fleshed out team that seeks to establish formal relations and set up shop in the main continuity. The core of the story is that Reed is being consumed by his self-imposed duty to prevent multi versal threats and is losing sight of his family even though he is expecting his second child, which gives you plenty of opportunities to make Sue and Ben shine as characters and flesh out Mr. Fantastic, no one's favourite member of Marvel's first family. You can give Johnny a parallel arc about growing up and since I really liked the FF comes from 15 years in the past continuity you can make a parallel here too about all the people that bitch they lost their youths to the pandemic. You can use the Council of Reeds to give some foundation to Reed's fears about how he stacks as a friend, husband, friend and hero. Maybe even include Valeria's weird status in continuity to really push him to make the right call.
The role of FF is the same as in the comics, they are ambassadors that bring new tech and discoveries and only desire mutually beneficial cooperation. Maybe they can give us a nicer She-Hulk?

X-Men can only work imo if you adapt House of X. Make it so their universe was destroyed by an incursion and they are aggressively forcing asylum on the main universe. They have gifts for Earth but only on certain conditions and with the means to force them to be met, pisses the Avengers more because they got direct competition on their dick swinging contest. Now you got a reason why they could be hated and it comes from the status quo. You could add to their mythos as what a unified force can do after being forced by multiple Thanos level catastrophes without a macguffin that undoes them. Mutantdom was baptized by fire and rose to be a better reflection of mankind. They are technically immortal, every single one has powers, they got powerful people on speed dial. I can imagine nothing short of an epic making the concept justice, perhaps having them join forces with alien empires. Inhumans but cool.

As for fan service casting I think only Michael Chiklis is worth it besides Kelsey Grammer, even if its just to be recast as Franklin Richards and proving how cool non-powered people can be. Everyone else should be lesser known actors not only to save money, but to find people that actually want to make their characters justice. Chiklis fought to get a practical Thing, we need someone that can beat sense into the "creatives". Go old Doctor Who and sign promising rising talent and criminally underrated character actors. I want to see someone who can bring all the nuances necessary for Cyclops that make him who he is in the comics, I want someone that won't be afraid to be Mr. Fantastic just because he starts as inhuman as it gets, I want the Rouge that could be equally tragic as she was inspiring. And you know theatre actors would be cheaper to sign anyway.

Oh yeah I didn't watch Wandavision. I only know about them because they were in Doctor Strange 2 where they were just normal kids. It's really difficult to keep track of all this shit when they turn their shitty tv shows into mandatory homework.

Honestly, I feel like the various Disney+ Series are just an albatross around the MCU. None of them have really delivered, and making them feel like homework likely turns some people off from them entirely.

Add in the general decline in quality that seems to coincide with the D+ shows starting, they’ve stretched themselves far too thin with them, and that’s saying nothing about the exorbitant cost per episode. Disney is used to having “Fuck You” Money, but even that’s not something I can confidently say they have on hand anymore - I legitimately don’t think anyone in that company knows how to properly budget a project anymore…

That's probably why they've launched that Spotlight series. Nobody gives a fuck about characters like Echo and they're certainly not going to factor into movies like Secret Wars, so just put them on Disney Plus.

That literally doesn't answer my question at all.

Because you don't want it to because you're more interested in scoring points against a show you haven't watched than getting answers from someone who has. She listens to Antman's podcast and reads his book, she follows every scrap of information she can and it's your contention that nobody knows anything about Carol in contradiction to what we actually see on the show which is that she's known.

Show: Woman who saved Iron Man's life, fought Thanos, personal friend of Nick Fury (public figure in the current age), was a female test pilot in the Eighties with a distinguished military career, has a big statue of her at Avengercon and a category at the cosplay competition, in a world where there is massive interest in superheroes.
You: Nuh-uh, my head-cannon says that she briefly appeared once during a fight with Thanos and then in my headcanon left immediately with no public exposure, hasn't returned since and none of the other Avengers or those associated with them ever talked about the important role she played. And my head-canon must be right despite all the evidence in the show that implies otherwise because wah! I want my jab at this show I hate for reasons to be heckin' valid.

Evidently in the show your head that she is unknown is wrong. But I get that it's really important to you that you're not corrected on that.

No, because it didn't answer my question at all. "How does X work in this continuity?" "X works in this continuity."

Aside from stating she was involved in a battle with hundreds of other people, none of this was in the original answer. You just went off about some comic shit that had nothing to do with a question about a specific continuity. It's almost like when I ask a question about the show, I want actual answers relating to the show.
