For Ultron, we learn Vision basically uploaded him when he destroyed the last body. So Ultron was inside Vision all of that time, until his death by Thanos.

But how is he there now??

When Wanda resurrected/created Hex-Vision, did that also including that Ultron that was inside him? Which was then “transferred” when Hex-Vision transferred/restored all those memories to White Vision in the library scene? Or was Ultron somehow dormant in the original hardware, and restoring the memories just activated him again?

As for the other AI’s… were they just collected “after” White Vision left Westview? I feel that has to be the case at least with Friday and Edith. But it feels like at least Ultron, or maybe Jarvis, has to have been with him at least since leaving Westview?

And a somewhat-related question… does Vision have all the firsthand memories of Hex-Vision? Or just the pre-death memories plus SWORD’s recordings of the broadcast? Either way, there’s no way he knows what happened in Hex-Vision’s final moments after White Vision left the Hex… right?

So, 14,000,605 possible futures and strange got to see/experience them all.. But, How the heck did TVA even let 14,000,604 of those happen? (Judging by there instant reaction to loki's time anomaly.. )

What happened to the instant pruning protocol??

Note : Since End game(or the sacred timeline) happened 5yrs after IF, TVA basically stood by and let it all happen in those other timeline simultaneously that potentially should have overloaded the said loom.. (and so jumping the red line too potentially)

The guy wasn't dreaming a simulation, he was literally looking into all those other realities.. so is this a plot hole ??

This is one of those films that was caught in a precarious dilemma. The death of Chadwick Boseman really changed things up in the MCU. What do you do in the aftermath of the death of an iconic figure in a franchise?  This film manages to weather that storm, although it does so a bit uneven at times. 

The incorporation of grief and loss into the story of the film makes the film feel rather personal at times and obviously it resonates strongly. But it is also a bit uneven in its exploration of these themes. Very stop and go. Initially I was a bit iffy on the whole Talokan reimagining of Namor. But visually it works, though I do prefer that the Atlantis/Greek aesthetics were preserved as the themes could address mutants and other social/civil rights issues. Overall, I do prefer Namor as a villain over Killmonger. He was far more compelling. Angela Bassett really shines as Queen Ramonda. But that goes without saying because it’s Angela Bassett. Shuri has a clear character arc, albeit sloppy. I like that it echoes and resonates with Namor. I like the depiction of Wakanda actually being vulnerable and not some impregnable unstoppable superpower. The action was pretty good with the underwater sequences or any scenes involving the Talokans being really effective. 

The movie is way too long. There’s no reason it should be almost 3 hours. Pacing fluctuates from fast to incredibly slow. The film is still distinct enough not to fall under my “set-up” movie category. But there’s still a lot of setup going on in this film. Riri Williams feels underwritten. She’s just there to be a part of the plot and almost feels like an accessory. Unnecessary CIA subplot that goes nowhere. There’s an unnecessary Killmonger cameo. Shuri and elements of her character arc are messy. Her decision to not kill Namor is very abrupt and sort of unearned as the whole film is leading toward vengeance and she changes her mind at the moment where the movie needs her to. Her becoming Black Panther happens very late in the film, she really isn’t Black Panther for a while. The synthetic heart shaped herb is also incredibly convenient and contrived. The CGI is a bit uneven at times. The final battle is frantic and weak from a story perspective. Side characters are underutilized and their stories raise more questions than answers (Ross, M’Baku, Okoye, Nakia). And lastly Ramonda’s death is very predictable. Writers need to understand that there are very effective ways of giving a character a complete journey and arc without killing them off. 

Far from perfect. But also, for me, better than the first Black Panther. 

Rating: 3.5/5

"And I do not have one single ounce of original material."

This was the conversation between Hex Vision and White Vision at the end of WV. Btw - this is my favourite post-endgame scene in the whole MCU.

Anyways, I still don't really understand this part. Neither of them has the Mind Stone, yet Hex Vision's retort seems to act as if he does. I know that in Wanda's Hex, Vision has a recreation of the Mind Stone, but at this point in the show the gig is up, and Vision knows that he, in fact, also doesn't have the Mind Stone. To me, the quote would have made more sense if White Vision was like "but I don't have any memories" or something like that.

Am I missing something?

I read all the chapters of the comic book. It makes me feel awesome. A young Japanese man becomes a hero and joins the Spider-Friends after being infected by a symbiote.

seeing Vision basically ignore all the helpful AI and default to hanging out with Ultron especially in the 2nd Visionquest episode drove me crazy, his smug attitude, his stupid hat, he's insufferable and it makes me feel like Vision isn't even worth rooting for bc he's just a puppet to this show shoehorning James Spader into everything... Jarvis is looking at Ultron waltz around the room at full power and decides "it's me, i'm the problem" what?

I thought it was going to be a weapon and/or a mutant. I definitely thought the Department of Damage Control was hiding the truth about what V-Max was. I'm curious if anyone was disappointed when they found out. Personally, I thought it was an interesting touch to include it the way they did.

In other types of TV shows, maybe.

But they did the same this with Secret Invasion and it just had no purpose. The main character in both shows ALREADY has motivation. They don't also need to avenge somebody new each time there's a story. There's already a good story going, and you are crushing it because 'oh well we have to show the stakes' no all you've done is highlight a TV writing device, not create good and unique and interesting story stakes. Ugh. It's SO stupid. Stop it, Fiege. Yeesh.

I knew that the showrunner of Wanda and Agatha stepping back for this series would cause problems, but ugh. Back to the same old unoriginal formula it is, I guess.

For context, spoilers:

JARVIS

During the scene everyone is trying to pick up Mjölnir is such an amazing scene, not just because it means a lot for later in the movie for when Vision is able to pick up Mjölnir to prove they can trust him but the call back for Endgame. A scene that is impactful in many ways.

Maria Hill, Rhodey and Helen Cho is all there during this. Ultron first comes out and even the first Ultron attack when they are talking about the Endgame and the suit of armor around the world. Those 3 characters are still in the room, in this Avengers level discussion and it got me thinking that Sam Wilson should be there. He was there at the initial party. Why didn’t he stick around?

In retrospect, it would have been good for him to be around the OG Avengers more. Especially during scenes like this. Maybe would have made people accept Sam as the new Cap more.

Should investigations be done in order to find and arrest the culprit who is responsible for the deaths of all these innocent drivers?

Everyone were just minding their business, when boom, an armored vehicle came out of nowhere and hits them with so much impact, that each of those cars were sent flipping at least 10 feet into the air, their windows and chassis shattering. The cop car even gets flipped toward a child but thank goodness, Spider-Man saved the child.

Despite that, we're talking about 4 deaths here, at a minimum. The drivers. That's before we factor in any passengers or in the case of the cop car, any detainees.

Whoever was responsible for this travesty, needs to be brought to trial and if found guilty, be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

There is no way people think the Avengers are winning.
I am saying this PURELY because the next movie is Secret Wars.

Hob Goblin cause I grew up with him from the 90s Spider-Man show and it would give Peter PTSD seeing another goblin flying around again.

For smythe I think it would just be cool to see spider slayers on screen and a villain obsessed with Spidey to an insane degree because all of the other villains outside of goblin didn't care about peter personally. He was just in their way. Smythe would want the smoke wether it's for science, ego or whatever reason they come up with in the mcu

After reading some issues of Captain America: Symbol of Truth, I genuinely feel like the MCU hasn’t done Sam Wilson’s Captain America justice. I LOVE Sam Wilson as Captain America in the comics. I love his personality, his motivations, his relationships, and especially his mission. He’s not just carrying the shield and fighting bad guys. He genuinely wants to make America a better, more peaceful place for its people. He’s actively trying to confront violence and create something better for the country.
That’s the kind of Captain America I want to see on screen.
And then the awesome relationship with Misty Knight!
This is my first real introduction to her character, and I absolutely love her. I love her relationship with Sam Wilson, their chemistry, and learning more about her background, including the story of how Tony Stark gave her the bionic arm. These are the kinds of characters, relationships, and stories I want to see explored in the MCU.

And that’s where my frustration with the films comes in.
Sam Wilson is only just beginning to establish himself as Captain America in the MCU. He received the shield, had one solo movie, and now we’re already heading into Avengers: Doomsday. When does he actually get the opportunity to fully develop as Captain America?
When do we get to see his personal mission, his relationships, his struggles, and his vision for what America could become? I’m not saying Marvel is doing this as a money grab or anything like that. But I do think that if you’re going to introduce a character as important as Captain America, you have to give his story room to breathe.

And after reading Symbol of Truth, I feel like there’s so much more to Sam Wilson than what we’ve been shown on screen. I want to see his relationship with Misty Knight. I want to see him navigating the political conflicts that come with being Captain America. I want to see him standing up for what he believes in, even when that puts him at odds with governments and other powerful figures.
I want to see the Sam Wilson I’ve been reading about.
And that’s probably one of my biggest takeaways from reading Marvel Comics so far. The comics are showing me just how much potential these characters have, and it’s making me wish the MCU would take more time to explore them. Because these characters deserve stories that allow us to really get to know them, not just see them show up for the next big crossover event.

The past few months of me going to the theater for the latest big releases, Ive been noticing that there hasnt been any Doomsday trailers playing before the movie. Maybe this is just my theater but is anyone else not seeing any trailers for it at their theaters? Its 2 months away and Dune has been having trailers since before summer

and no this isn’t goomba fallacy there definitely chill and based x-men fans.

So I have been questioning if I really am a marvel fan/nerd, I just started reading the comics, right now I am reading the infinity comic, and I am a huge fan of the mcu, I have watched about 90% of the mcu and love it but I recently started reading the comics because they are really interesting but now I am just questioning if I really am a marvel fan/nerd. Can someone answer this because I really don’t have a clear answer if someone is a marvel fan or a marvel nerd.

I’m rewatching it right now and it feels like a B-tier movie. The acting, the story, the setting, etc. I don’t understand why it’s regarded so highly - even compared to Black Panther at times.

Tried to do as accurate as i could lol

If you could include Felicia Hardy/Black Cat in BND without changing too much of the original plot, how would you go about it?
Don't get me wrong, I loved the film and how they went about it, but I like to imagine. Would you have her take Sadie's place or have both of them in the movie? I know, before Sadie's casting, some people really wanted Black Cat in this movie so I'm curious what kind of storyline you guys would want to explore with Black Cat while still keeping the same tone and undertones that were established for this movie.
Personally, I think Black Cat could fit really well with the more street-level direction of the film, but I can't really think of how she could be introduced in a way that feels natural to the story. I also think she could be a really interesting character to introduce now and then explore more in potential sequels, especially if BND ends up being the start of a new trilogy.
What would you guys do?

It’s why I love the MCU and its ability to develop and explore certain characters beyond their comic versions and how we can grow attached to them in unexpected ways.

Would’ve never thought we’d see a side villain in the first guardians film eventually become an Avenger and one of many reliable heroes within the universe

Iron Man

Hulk

Hank Pym (Ant-Man)

Janet van Dyne (Wasp)

What do you think? Who would you like to see rebooted after Secret Wars?
