I don't feel they really went anywhere with this.
Loki says a line and Selvig repeats it. It foreshadows that Selvig would be under his control later.
I thought it was supposed to imply that Loki was manipulating Selvig and had him under his control all along?
Maybe it did imply that originally, or that Loki had returned to earth after falling from the bridge and then began manipulating Selvig, but I didn't interpret the scene that literally. It's possible that if the scene was literally saying that, it left Whedon in a corner that he didn't want to or couldn't write his way out of, so you have to interpret it differently.
The scene of Stark talking to Ross was also written back when the plan was to have the Hulk as the villain against the Avengers, but we know that's also not what happened.

Oh yeah, the stinger at the end was the official start but I remember still not buying Avengers til ComicCon 2011, seeing the leaked trailer with Nine Inch Nails.
Also, they were teasing a Justice League for so long, even without Batman beforehand hence why I calling bullshit for awhile

Howard told Tony that he had to stop off somewhere before the airport, and Tony guesses the Pentagon. Tony later says his parents never made it to the airport. So given he had the WS formula in his trunk he was probably headed to some government facility
...and that's how you build a universe. You don't just announce that you're going to do a Transformers Universe and think that the work is done. Or a Monster one, or a Spider-Man one or whatever. You make 3 or 4 movies that have almost nothing to do with one another, have a tiny thread in each, and then you tie all the threads together.
I guess it does seem like that's what they're doing with Godzilla/Kong (though could have had one more movie before bringing them together) so, hooray there.

And the Monster one, which you just mentioned.

Thats awesome man
DC needed a win and its cool that its coming from a movie with a female lead
Think we should make the DCEU thread a cake or something as a means of congratulations?
I was thinking about posting a congratulation, but I was not sure if people would like that 🙈

There is a fenced off area next to the road, that's why there is surveillance.
I dont think shooting has even started yet. All we heard of was a Wasp costume test fitting
Ant Man and the Wasp hasn't even begun filming...
Well shit, guess it was nothing then. I'm so fucking gullible.
Yeah, I read about the custom fitting, but I thought the filming started some time ago, guess not.
Do we know when it will start?

Filming is expected to start up in July

Great, that is the same month as Comic Con, I do hope they are there to show the Wasp suit.

Godzilla is getting a sequel first before the team-up/versus/whatever it is. Given it's only two monsters starring, not a whole group, I think two Godzilla films and one Kong film is enough to set them up.
Those films don't need set up. The monsters don't have anything resembling real personalities and the mythology isn't going to be complex. You could watch those movies in any order playing in reverse with the sound muted and it would matter little. The set up matters about as much as whether an earthquake happens before or after a tornado. Your shit's all fucked up either way.
Depends. They want to have Mothra in Godzilla II and you need some time to set up Mothra to make it the proper way. I think its super problematic that they also have Rhodan and King Gidorah around and a plot revolving around humans.

Jessica Jones without
is leaving me a bit nervous about the show.
Kilgrave
Yeah, thats the shitty low-effort way to do it. I hope they embrace the originals and have Infant Island and at least something resembeling the two fairies around.
Her current book is amazing. Maybe they realized that he people want more investigation and have no real supervillain around.

Only about 4% of Jessica's stories in the comic books have revolved around Kilgrave.
Most of the time, she's just out in the Marvel Universe as a P.I, solving cases and getting drunk...and those were the parts of Season 1 where the show was at its best. I think with Kilgrave gone, the show has the potential to be even better.
We still have the supersoldier pill thing and the company behind it.

Maybe they will explore the origin of JJ's powers
I'd honestly rather have the supersoldier stuff for the next Defenders crossover.
They'll be using this for Daredevil Season 3's rumoured Born Again arc, I reckon.
Even though it was the worst aspect of that story by far and comes completely out of left field in the comic.

Guys, what happened? Did our check to reviewers for Wonder Woman not clear?
Don't ask me, El Topo was supposed to mail it!
Just finished a rewatch of Captain America: The First Avenger, and man is this better than I remember it, considerably so. I love the whole style it's going for, and it reminds me of those old age Danish films my father grew up with but of course with an American twist to it. The way people dress, how they speak to each other, and what more can be said of those Captain America songs the US went so crazy for back in the 1940s. It's a great period piece of a superhero movie. I feel like the villainy side of the plot was undercook though, and that Hydra wasn't really build up well, but Steve Rogers journey from dreaming about fighting for America at the forefronts to actually doing so sat well with me. I really liked the portrayal of Johann Schmidt and his German accent English, it has a feel to it, and I really hope he comes back some road down the line. I honestly couldn't remember Dr. Erskine, the Howling Commandos or Chester Phillips but now they'll probably stick in my head for a while. Erskine for one had a really big role to play.

I feel like it's worth establishing the tone and style they're going for for each monster, since there's been many version sof Godzilla and Kong, and what's more they both, particularly Godzilla, have more than enough value as their own properties. Neither should only exist in some kind of teamup/versus movie. I doubt the Godzilla sequel is going to solely be a "set-up movie", it'll be a Godzilla film and sequel to the 2014 film first and foremost.
But if there had been no 2014 Godzilla film, and no Kong film this year, you couldn't just suddenly launch into Godzilla vs. King Kong out of nowhere.

Bitches love smiley faces
They could have the Nuke stuff branch off into DD, but it'll definitely show up in JJ. It'd be weird to start a major story arc and have it resolve on another show.

Nah, they should just have an android become Dr Frankenstein.

Cap 1 is underrated and gets way too much flak for the montage scene. I would have loved to have seen more of his time with the Commandos doing missions in WW2, but I wouldn't sacrifice any of the character stuff for it. Wish we could get more Red Skull one day. It would be cool if he somehow "escapes" wherever he went after Infinity War.
