Why The Future Of The MCU Has Always Been Secret Wars

[@syedjawad5572]

[@hqhuy931]

i think the biggest problem with phase 4 are the tv series and how they affect the movies, though Thor 4 had its own problems of tone as well. Wanda relying on Wandavision for character building, Moon Knight, Ms Marvel and She-Hulk's only introduction being those tv series and characters that should have a separate movie like America Chavez being shoehorned in as plot device in Multiverse of Madness...

[@ItsTheGuy77]

I watched Multiverse of Madness with my little bro. He said he felt genuinely lost (mostly with Wanda & her kids) cause he didn't bother with or wasn't interested in WandaVision.

[@tulin566]

[@kaeaedwin7937]

Well the thing is we see phase 4 as like phase 1 it’s all experimental phase marvel trying something new to see if it works or not(which is good, you keep to just one thing it eventually becomes stale) like that yeah there’s way more projects than 1 but when you look at it Ironman was the only HUGE , Thor and Captain America were (for the majority) Mixed and Hulk and Ironman 2 didn’t do all that well(tho these are overhated) they didn’t do well at the box office I mean Hulk would’ve probably done a wee bit better if it didn’t come out 2008 since you had juggernauts likes Ironman, The Dark Knight, Kung Fu Panda and Wall-E, Ironman 2(Even tho it’s one of my Guilty Pleasure films, which lets be honest everyone has one) it was a very rushed movie.

[@gideonpepys]

I think wed feel differently about America if she’d opened the portals in Spider-Man No Way Home as intended. It would have made way more sense and given her a bigger role in the MCU (as well as keeping her ‘unique’ power unique - I mean, why didn’t Wanda just kidnap Ned?!?) Shame the pandemic screwed everything up. In my head there’s a version of NWH with America opening the portals. It’s way better!

I like the idea of the secret wars movie being a reset. The one thing I wish they would do but I know they can't do it now. Is as we build up to a secret wars in our current mcu, it would have been cool if they had made another universe of films to build up so when universe collide fans can root for current mcu and the new one. It would have been cool if our current mcu continued through movies, and the other universe grows along the mcu. The other universe would take place on disney plus as shows so we can get to know new characters quicker in new ways not worry about continuity in the past. But I guess that why we have secret wars.

[@TheDeadmanstrolling]

As of writing: * the Fox X-men universe is still around, but the status of the X-men there is unknown (Logan movie supposedly killed them off by 2027 before Logan died in 2032, but Deadpool loots his corpse in 2018 and his X-men friends are fine) * all other Fox Marvel universes have been pruned * Sony Marvel universes are all hot messes - Venom being the most salvageable but even then the latest trailer seems to be ignoring the implications set by No Way Home) That only leaves the new Fantastic Four (confirmed an alternate earth from MCU 616) and the Spider-verse series of worlds for a possible Secret Wars collision.

[@rustine07rr3]

Yeah, but i felt like i prefer the infinity saga because it's like 11 years of hardwork and storytelling, which is a great way to go, i'm nervous about the multiverse saga however considering that the saga will be like 5 years approx if i'm not wrong? Hope considering the short run time of this saga, they'll do them justice, and make this saga watchable, and worth investing

[@justinharvie8126]

Plus they were all movies, aka cinema. They were continuous and only in film form. I see the problem with Phase 4 and beyond is that they are trying to link various outlets into a cohesive thing, but I don't see it working out. Just one example is that you have to watch WandaVision to understand the plot of Dr. Strange Multiverse of Madness, and I know a lot of people who did not watch Wandavision because they were either not interested, or simply did not have Disney+

[@ajtaylor8750]

This was definitely all leading up to Secret Wars, but it'll be hard to top what happened in the first 3 Phases especially "Infinity War" and "Endgame." If the MCU ended with just those films being the end of it all, I'd be satisfied and that's why it seems as if Phase 4 hasn't been as great as the previous 3 phases.

I’m pretty sure Kang will remain the villain throughout the entire “Multiverse Saga” era of the MCU regardless of how “faithful” that is the comics. Marvel most likely set these plans in motion prior to the Fox buyout. We still haven’t gotten an MCU Fantastic Four movie yet, Reed Richards and Dr Doom could essentially be brand new characters by the time Secret Wars comes out

[@oliversoto7046]

Doom is basically confirmed to appear in a Wakanda Forever post credit scene, so I do think they are trying to stay true to the source material

[@TheJadedJames]

@@oliversoto7046 The track record of the MCU is not one of doggedly adhering to source material. Kang is already being positioned as the main villain and will stay that way, and even if Doom is around, Reed Richard will hardly be an MCU mainstay by the time Avengers 5/6 come out. It would just be weird to do this conflict with characters who will essentially be brand new at that point. We had two Guardians of the Galaxy movies prior to Infinity War. At the very least, I'm kind hoping and think it is probably more likely, that if Doom climbs to main villain status its after the Multiverse Saga so that we can actually get some full Fantastic Four movies out of him first.

[@oliversoto7046]

I just can’t see them wasting such a huge character like Doom, especially if they’re introducing him in a post-credit scene years before the F4 movie, similar to how Thanos was introduced in The Avengers.

@@Tecknee They put Spider-Man in Civil War. But they really just fit him in where they could naturally fit him (Let's put an extra character in the airport battle and just throw one intro scene in there so people understand the concept of MCU Spider-Man). Black Panther still played the more dominant role of "Guy who starts off Team Tony, but is more allied with Team Rogers" by the end. The movie ultimately wasn't concerned with being a faithful retelling of the Civil War comic arc at all beyond the concept of "There is a crisis which makes Tony Stark and Steve Rogers right over whether the government can control superheroes"

I don’t think I ever had any question that they’d do multiverse/Secret Wars stuff eventually. I think anyone who knows anything about the big comic events (which are literally all I know about comics) knew it was in the pipeline eventually. But for me the struggle is aside from “multiverses exist, and sometimes they break,” I don’t think there’s been a clear plot thread the way there was with the infinity stones. I mean, the avengers were hinted at almost instantly and by Captain America’s first movie we had the tesseract and explicit hints of it being connected to a bigger thing. Nowadays we get some lady in purple jumping out of nowhere in the post credits of Dr Strange 2 and being like “wanna go?” And without any explanation of who she is or why he’d trust her they’re off. So basically, all this to say, we all knew it was going to happen but the problem is almost nobody knows how it’s going to get there.

[@Carabas72]

There wasn't a clear plot thread with the Infinity Stones either. Ot was a lot of random stuff, and at some point coloured Stones stared to drop every other movie, which got old really fast, and the movies were rightfully mocked for it. There was never a plan from Avengers to Endgame. There was skillful making it up as you go along and pretend this was where you were going the entire time, while hoping nobody remembers all the stuff you're not following up on.

Their track record has been a little spotty lately, it's true, but people forget that from the run from Iron Man to Endgame there were some clunkers in there too. Thor Dark World, Iron Man 2, Age of Ultron... even a bunch of movies that were decent but nothing remarkable like Guardians 2 and Iron Man 3. I think once Marvel starts running towards their big finish lines we start getting real bangers like Civil War, Ragnarok and Infinity War. This era's more a little bit dull but that might just be because we're in kind of the "filler" area where they have to slowly put the pieces together to the big picture.

Have a 15 minute intermission after Chapter 1, and then go balls to the wall with Chapter 2.

The thing that made Secret Wars (2015) so special was the YEARS of set up it had through multiple titles and runs from Jonathan Hickman. Fantastic Four, Avengers, New Avengers, etc. It was a story built through so many other stories in the background until it finally came to the forefront. I find the MCU trying to build up to that level of event in two phases rushed. It feels like they’re sprinting through the finish line for the quickest cash grab and not taking the time and care to set this story up as the biggest cinematic event of all time like infinity war and endgame were. On top of that I’m extremely worried it will just become a shallow, cameo filled, “avengers” movie. My issue with this being an Avengers movie is that Secret Wars is NOT a Avengers story and it’s not filled with cameos from other timelines. The actual main cast of the story wasn’t that big and the main characters were Reed and Doom. It’s a love letter to a decades long relationship between these two characters. Having that history between the two is what makes the story incredible. You need to have that build up but the MCU is introducing Doom and the four in the same phase as secret wars which makes me think this will be a rush job and following the recent MCU trend of quantity over quality. Secret wars shouldn’t happen until we’ve had time to properly set up all of those necessary components for a compelling story.

[@Carabas72]

[@safariatari1094]

My only fear is that Doom is going to be introduced too late into the universe. The Fantastic 4 Film (which is where I assume Doom's intro would be) is in 2024, and within 1-2 years needs to become the big bad of the multiverse.

[@philbattiste9649]

I'd also argue that it'd make the Fantastic 4 film a bit derivitive, because filmmakers have been using Doom as the villain of Fantastic 4 movies for basically 2 decades now. And even if people didn't think it was too soon to do this again, it'll make it hard for the new one to not be compared to the old ones (since the villain and likely the conflict of the story would be the same)

[@safariatari1094]

@@philbattiste9649 The only way I can see them avoiding this is having Doom appear in a movie prior to Fantastic 4 and then being like a secondary villain in the Fantastic 4 film, but I don't know what project the MCU could have him in other than a solo Doom film/show which wouldn't even be finished (if they started now) by at least 2025

[@dozzy9984]

So far, aren't XMen (and mutants overall) excluded from MCU? Could that mean, that after Secret Wars we could FINALLY get some focus on mutants? I swear lack of them hurts some stories. Like lack of Fantastic Four hurt the possible impact of Civil War. And retelling of Apocalypse Saga or Dark Phoenix Saga could be done way better than Fox did due to inclusion of non-mutant characters since those were global events, no reason why others shouldn't help/get caught in it. Similar stuff with possible Galactus story in the future.

People are always so critical and I’m not gonna say there hasn’t been some serious missteps. That being said, I’m almost 35…so having spent most of my life without comic book movies on this scale and a somewhat cohesive cinematic universe is more than I ever could have hoped for.

Secret Wars will act as a soft reboot of the MCU & will bring the X-Men characters from fox studios movies into the main universe. This way audience won't ask "Where the hell were the mutants all this time". Atleast that's what I think.

I think the issue is most of the original cast are older, and Marvel usually thinks long term with their characters which is why they'll most likely go with new actors, though they could come in as cameos, which I think Hugh Jackman will come in as in Deadpool 3.

It's probably literally to bring in the X-men to the universe without having to explain where they've been all these years, whilst bringing in any loose canon properties into the main canon like AOS.

Unfortunately Jonathan Hickman is not writing for the MCU, which may be for the best seeing as the MCU is now openly butchering the stories of better writers than they are employing to make these films. I have no faith in Secrets Wars being any good, though if they reset the MCU afterward, we might get some good films following; however fans may have lost their patience and interest by then.

[@jaski4022]

The MCU completely despises writers or directors who know about these stories, they want people who doesn't even know... who Adam Warlock is, for example. She-Hulk sucked. Ms Marvel sucked. MoM sucked. WF sucked. BW sucked. Eternals sucked. Shang Chi was a meh. NWH was an ok. Moon Knight was alright and Werewolf By Night was a masterpiece. Just ONE good product...

I think Marvel saw what Phase 4 ended up being and decided that this was the way to go. For the people that feel like Marvel movies aren’t really that good anymore, you’ll prolly have to wait until Phase 7 for the best of Marvel. I think Madame Web and Beyond the Spider-Verse will connect to this. The live action version of Peter B. Parker with end up being the “Totem Spider” and the universe will reset with him and a live action Miles. It’d be interesting to see Spider-Gwen in their universe too.

I also think it's highly unlikely Doom will be the main bad guy as he's only possibly going to be introduced in that phase itself. And thats if Kevin Feige puts him in the first FF movie which I highly doubt as he's gone on record saying he prefers to use villains who haven't been in the movies yet for the most part.

Honestly, the MCU needs a hard reset. It started out strong back in '08 but it slowly became clear that after Phase 2, they were running out of ideas due to various issues (IP rights being one). It's been an absolute shit show since Infinity War and I think recasting the majority of characters would be the best thing in the long run. After Secret Wars just start it all over from scratch and do it right this time, but if the past movies/shows are any indication of the direction the MCU is heading, it probably will just be worse after the reset.

[@thepayne7862]

Not a huge Marvel fan movies have never seen a single MCU film in the theater. For me they need to take a break from the Marvel movies for about 5 years. Give the franchises a chance to rest, also give fans a chance to grow accustom to not getting a yearly Marvel movie and forget about the franchise a little bit. Taking a break did wonders for the Bond franchise when they took a break after Dalton. Then 4 to 5 years they came back with Brosnan in Goldeneye and it was a huge success. Then after Bronson's last Bond movie they took another 3 to 5 years off and came back with Craig and those were a huge success.

I personally don't want Doom to be the main antagonist of Secret Wars. His character has been ruined too many times before. He needs his own series to build up his character. The Books of Doom are the best foundation for that. Also add some of the flair from Iron Man 1 and Doctor Strange 1 to accompany his technological and mystical prowess. If they can accomplish that, and give us a proper Victor.. then maybe he'd be fitting for Secret Wars, but if not, then it'll just be another waste of his character.

If the new movies and shows were more spread out and consistently good I would watch them. But after the new Thor I'm taking a long break. Haven't enjoyed any of the new shows besides Wandavision and I'm very quickly losing investment in the new characters that are being introduced. Either give the new characters a full semi cognizant backstory/introduction or don't bother. America Chavez had no reason to be in Dr. Strange other than a plot device
