I could not even imagine how cringe the MCU version of vampires would have been. Aren't they supposed to be really sexually attractive in base form? Because you just KNOW that most of them would be whiny obnoxious L.A. transsexuals.

It's a poor man's The Suicide Squad, but the DNA was there to make something special out of it. Unfortunately this was not the result.

OG Thunderbolts was special because it was villains playing heroes and their reaction to the LARP, leading to a lot more character growth than most comic book characters get. Unfortunately to do a proper Thunderbolts you need a slate of interesting, established villains and since 95% of MCU villains end the movie on a slab thats basically impossible. Interestingly enough they had the driving force behind the original T-bolts- Baron Zemo- alive and active in the setting and didn't use him for... I dunno, fear that Daniel Bruhel would eclipse the entire rest of the MCU at this point?

Its literally the Jeff Goldblum bit, "hey, Kevin, have you considered putting some Thunderbolts in your Thunderbolts movie?"

There was Blade.

Which Rivals introduced this week.

Basically kind of like Dante and Vergil from DMC.

And the MCU can't find a replacement for him.


Also its funny that Blade will be going up against Luna, a character that does skate uphill.

The problem came when they kept bringing the "Thunderbolts" back as "Marvel's Suicide Squad", i.e. just gathering up anti-heros. And they were like DC's Suicide Squad in that the Squad had become yet another anti-hero team - worse, one that functions as a dumping ground for like seventy-percent Batman villains because everything DC has to tie in with Batman some way.

What made the Thunderbolts work was that it was, like the quote says, villains playing heroes and what happened to them during that time, and the Marvel people turned it into crap with each newer volume of the Tbolts. Similarly, the 80s Suicide Squad concept worked best as a team of C- and D-list supervillains rather than as just another antihero team, and it really gets rid of the tension when the team roster is made up of characters like Harley Quinn, Bane and Deathstroke who keep get ongoing series and solo books.
 
I don't think I've watched a Marvel movie since Guardians of the Galaxy 3 but I saw FF4 today and was pleasantly surprised. There's stuff I could nitpick but I liked all the set design, Silver Surfer was hot, and I can't believe that a tentpole capeshit movie got made with big themes around actual, bloodline family (as opposed to found family dreck) and maternal/paternal instinct.

I'm glad the "I'd be Hitler's top guy to protect my children" demographic is finally getting the representation it deserves.

So what do we all predict will be the box office future of the MCU after this recent underperformance?

It’s looking more and more like memberberries and Spider Man are the only things they have left, and with Doomsday’s insane budget even that is looking questionable.
 
Who's the most attractive character in Marvel Rivals and how badly do their MCU counterparts look?

Invisible Woman is what really started the rivals gooning craze.

There was magik and psylocke prior to the Invisible Woman but she started it.

Emma Frost in the game is like more like She Hulk than how she looks in the comics.

Which is why Sue is a massive disappointment in the movie compared to the game.

Though Vanessa Kirby wants to play as dommy mommy malice in a potential sequel to FF4.

On a side note, what a massive own goal for the MCU not introducing Emma Frost if they want to expand into the gooner market.

I like kunoichi titty ninja Psylocke, she always manages to look attractive though. Look at X-Men Apocalypse for example.
 
So this will be the second time in one year that a low budget horror movie from Warner Brothers and specifically produced by New Line completely clips whatever little momentum a floundering Marvel movie had, that Weapons horror movie is making massive bank in its first weekend.

Not a single Marvel movie released this year went past $500 million, Kevin Feige must be shitting bricks right now as a huge chunk of the Spider-Man money next year will be going to Sony as part of their deal, and for all the memberberries that Avengers Doomsday will be pulling out to try and get the cattle to come back, not only is the budget utterly insane, but the memberberry crew would have to share the screentime with heroes people don't give a flying fuck about, making it a less tantalizing project for the cattle.

I am still astounded by how the faggots at Marvel can't even come up with a concept in over half a decade on how to make a Dhampir that kills vampires look cool, let alone a script and filmed scenes for a movie, meanwhile the fucking chinks were able to get the job done in less than a year.

They could honestly just do a shot-for-shot remake of the first Blade Movie, maybe PG it up because Disney, and call it a day, but that’d be too easy.

Hell, tying it into the rest of the MCU isn’t even that hard - they opened the bottle on Multiverse, just have a Doctor Strange cameo and you’re golden. I’ll take my fuckload of money Feige.
