Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will begin the next 10 to 20 years of the MCU
- Thread starter LordOfLore
- Start date
I think you're in the minority on this one.The movies with new fresher characters Deadpool, wonder women, Guardians and Suicide Squad are doing great where as movies like spiderman homecoming didn't set the world on fire. I think people want newer characters on screen. Iron Man, Captain America and Thor were all B level Heroes and now there all household names.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That's A-OK by me if it means more Space-based MCU/Avengers movies. We've milked Earth enough and there's only so many times it can be under peril.
"I can't stand that I have to come pay for these movies every six months!!!"
I can't even...
Look, more films made just means more chance you get a genuinely good one each year. A Logan or a WW. Instead of that terrible 00s period where we got a bunch of shite. Like X-Men 3 which somehow adapted two stories at the same time and fucked them both up.
Don't like MCU? You've got Singer's X-Men. Don't like Singer X-Men? You have DCEU? Don't like DCEU? You have Arrowverse. Don't like Arrowverse? You have MCU Netflix. Don't like MCU Netflix? You got AOS. Don't like any of those? Go watch Inhumans, the show you deserve for having shitty taste.

Oh no, not more competently made action films that sometimes are excellent.
History has a way of repeating itself, i'm sure it was once delusional to think that westerns would go out of style.

Oh yeah bring on the Ultimates movie. Blue Marvel and Spectrum baby. Hells yeah.
Western's can be a pretty rigid genre though. Where's superhero movies have so much wiggle room as they can lift from any genre so I don't think they'll have much trouble staying fresh as times goes by.

I honestly can't imagine why this would be a problem for anyone, it's not like other movies aren't being made. Marvel Studios doesn't make anything except for superhero films so it's not like the opportunity for another type of film is being lost. If people lose interest then they'll make fewer films but surely more of a good thing can't be bad?

Gotta have Annihilus to do Annihilation.

Nah, just replace him with Blastaar or something.
Not Conquest. I know Conquest doesn't get as much love as the first and I agree the first is better I still love Conquest though. It has several great moments, gives them an excuse to work in Warlock, Phyla-vell and Moondragon. And they already have the surprise big bad coming back ready to go with

Phalanx counts as X-Men though don't they?
They don't really have to use the Phalanx. They can just fall back on some other alien race or the almighty NANOMACHINES Trope.
Blade could be argued as being the one that started it (even if it wasn't as successful as X-Men), so even earlier.
I think they might be strapped to a chair and eyes forced open like Alex Delarge.
I thought for a while this was going to be the plot of GotG V2, given how long they waited to release its official name.

You'd think society will eventually move away from Super Hero flicks but now I'm not so sure. Maybe these are our timeless Greek myths...
Look forward to seeing them in all the upcoming MCU movie OTs lol

Superhero movies aren't going away but the idea of audiences keeping up with the story/character baggage of two to three movies a year for the next 10 to 20 is questionable.
That said, it's not like most people see every Marvel movie as is. If it were the case there'd be an even level of success across them. Not watching Ant-Man probably didn't hurt anyone's enjoyment of Civil War. And doubtful the audience for The Avengers were all caught up on whatever happened in that first Thor.

So, basically, GotG3 is going to finally suffer from Marvel Bloat. Got it.
The movie kind of sucks, but I remember being really impressed by this back in the day.
That movie was all over the board when it came to SFX. It got hilariously bad with Malebolgia though:
As for the Marvel news: this sounds good to me. Their output has been consistently decent to great so far IMO.

I thought Vol. 2 was a hot, boring mess of sorts, so you think you're gonna get another decade of this but I think the "MCU decade" is pretty much at its end as it is.
Like any other movie decade trend, it's reaching its natural point of exhaustion. I grow tired of "the road to Thanos" which was particularly bad in Vol. 2 where it was "father" at first and then suddenly it's "Thanos? Thanos! Thanos thanos. THANOS!" at the end in its dialogue. Uuuurgh.
I want off this fucking train already. Thor 3 being potentially actually funny I will accept (in part because of the contrast with 'there was a second one?', and 'wait there was a first one?' ), but the horrible clashing tones, the over-reliance on CGI-fests, and the constant 'yeah but THANOS', and honestly not being very memorable beyond watching it once, I will not miss once Infinity War finally ends that crap.
There's yur hot take for the day, enjoy. Also TFA sucked. BYE

You are young, don't think much about comic book movies release dates you could die far earlier than 48 💀

I think that broke the record at the time for most VFX houses on one movie.

lol uuuhhhgg.... I wanted Malebolgia to be so good when I went to this flick and oof... OOF
I'll watch Marvel movies for as along as Bar-Theaters exist and my comic book reading friends and I stay on good terms. It's just too much of a good time to go get a decent fade on and watch characters i've been reading and drawing and playing since I was 5 fuck each other up to the tune of a billion godamned dollars.
Love these flicks. No need to stop printing money yet. Feige has yet to turn himself into a giant robot spider so gotta make that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (it's a risky procedure but i think it's worth it.)

I appreciated your post already, but that twist ending really got me
Personally, I'm bored of seeing the original six Avengers fight. I'm more interested in seeing what the newer members have up their sleeves.
If Iron Man, Cap, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, and Black Widow make the ultimate sacrifice to thwart Thanos, I think I'd be okay with the newer members picking up the torch from their with standalone and Avenger's films from then on.

Would Harry Potter be better if there was no end and they just kept cranking out more films with those characters in increasingly tortured stories, so that fans never got a true conclusion? NO.
If that meant that there was no Deathly Hollows and they could continue to tell fun stories of the characters which were actually good instead, yes.

The Harry Potter films always focused on the same characters and were pretty close adaptations of the source material.
It's a completely different scenario to the MCU. There's still a wealth of characters they could introduce and shift the focus to.
