Board 8 > MCU General 13 - The Holiday Special

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh shit, yes. Love and Thunder. I hated that film I almost removed the name of it from my mind entirely.

I saw it last weekend and thought it was pretty rubbish.

I was mostly bored and fell asleep at one point.

How the hell does Cassie's hair stay perfectly straight after removing her helmet trash movie 1/10

Cocaine Bear beat Ant-Man at the box office

Ant-Man - $32 mil
Cocaine bear - $23 mil

I've been lied to

So apparently the Ant Man script was leaked on marvel spoilers on reddit in full. Wow.

For Quantumania?

What's the implication? I guess leaks are bad but I don't see why this is the biggest deal for an already released movie?

It leaked pre-release

the subreddit just recently shut down because Disneys going after them now

This is probably a good firing departure.

This wasnt just a leak or a rumor. It was the literal entire script word for word.

Probably was Bill Murray tbh

I think Im biased because I love Majors so much, and met him at Princeton a few months ago: https://arts.princeton.edu/news/2022/11/the-atelier-at-large-presents-a-conversation- on-art-making-in-a-vexed-era-with-jonathan-majors/jonathan-majors-2/

He was walking around campus and I randomly bumped into him, which was sweet. Knew not to act like a fangirl idiot and just chat him up like a normal dude, too. Im really rooting for him to become a massive success.

I'm sorry Ulti

Dang.

Ahh fuck

Is this the Jonathan Majors stuff?

Id imagine with the multiverse you could recast and just say oh he looks different here

Yeah I feel like Kang is one of the easier characters to recast given the variant/multiverse stuff.

That dude has shown up in a shit load of stuff recently. Not just movies but also commercials. Just when he breaks though he allegedly does something very stupid that might torpedo his career.

I was using "allegedly" in the most "innocent until proven guilty" sense. The reports and evidence are pretty damning.

just have doom kill kang off screen

the doom dynasty

Kang resorted to desperate measures to re-establish his villain cred after he lost to Ant Man.

If the next Avengers movie is named after Doctor Doom, I'll cast my vote for Avengers: Doomsday.

Superman already had that movie

I honestly don't have much to say on this matter, obviously my heart goes out to the victim and I hope that Majors can rectify the situation in some capacity and move forward and be a better person, but despite his performance as Kang I do believe it is best that they move on from Majors and can replace him with someone just as good or better.

Actually, from what Majors' lawyer says, they have overwhelming evidence debunking these claims, including video and interviews with people close to the situation, and they expect the charges to be dropped quickly. The fact they acted so swiftly is kind of telling of that.

I would withhold judgment right now until we hear more.

the whole thing is fishy either way, especially given the number of insiders who seemed to confirm that he's a dirtbag after the news came out

Secret Invasion June 21st

a couple more months of empty thread (well, GotG3 in May)

Yeah but for the Majors news, this topic would have been basically dead

I think they made the right decision to slow down their TV releases though.

I feel like this is the biggest drought of MCU content we've had in a long time. We were truly spoiled by the COVID era Disney+ releases.

Really hope this is true.

Uh, it's not looking good now.

Majors has been formally charged by the District Attorney which is not promising.

Slowing down is one thing, but this will be an 8-month gap between She-Hulk and Secret Invasion.

I didn't realize that despite the biggest opening in the series, Ant-Man 3 is gonna make less money than the original.

Looks pretty good!

pretty insane cast, to be honest

Definitely been excited for Secret Invasion for a while now

As someone who's omega down on the MCU, this looks pretty sick

Glad to see Talos isn't just being shifted to be the villain again, will be curious to see how we ended up in this whole situation when generally the skrulls are friendly. Are these an entirely different group of skrulls, or is there a schism in Talos's people?

I dig it.

Great trailer for The Marvels. Looks really fun with a distinctive visual style and a nice gimmick. Very hyped for that and Secret Invasion now.

So much LMS bait in that trailer

Marvels looks like great fun, love that the entanglement isn't just the one time thing to kickstart the movie
