Excellent! Ta for that.

The MCU!! It is like the comic uni onscreen.

Watched it today, loved it, probably just about the best MCU film for me (slightly ahead of Winter Soldier, Guardians and Iron Man)

Ant-Man and Spiderman were brilliant but I thought Black Panther was awesome.

Given the massive potential pitfalls with the concept (i.e. everywhere B v S went wrong, but with a whole load more characters to squeeze in) I thought it was executed brilliantly.

I am in two minds as to whether they should have explained Thor and Banners absence a little, given what was at stake it seemed odd that two 'major' Avengers were apparently not involved in signing the order.

I agree, it had it all. It impressed me and my mate no end.

We already knew that Thor and Hulk would be absent, Banner disappeared at the end of A2, and without SHIELD, there isn't anybody to keep tabs on him. I haven't seen Thor 2, but I guess stuff went on in Asgard?

Yeah, I found Thor (film) so utterly tedious (despite him being one of my fave comic characters) that I never bothered with Thor 2. LIkewise I was bored by Cap America (film), but saw Winter SOlider by accident, glad I did.

I doubt Fury knows, SHIELD is run by Coulson now, and has about 3 people in it.


What happened to Fury? I've forgotten.

I got caught up in reading wiki articles on marvel/ultimates/universes started by reading about where Fury is...fk what a timesuckwarp.
Although it actually made me interested in the comics.

Fury has two films left, and as he has said himself, he's just a fella with a gun, he can't interact much on the fighty side when it's wall to wall enhanced humans.
Will he croak it in his 9th film?

I think Hulk gets naturally stronger as he ages.

HUlk versus Thor in a proper all out fight would be good.

I believe both Hulk and Thor were out of the comic book story as well, Hulk had been betrayed by his friends and shot off into space, and Thor...was dead I think...is dead...not sure.

[Halb]

I like both film franchises, I have no bias. But it is by far obvious that the quality Marvel has far outstrips DC at this stage (some Marvel efforts are mediocre, but the best are sublime). I am getting a whiff of desperation from DC, playing catch-up, utterly the wrong tack to take here.
