It's this. He had parts in a big show this spring and 4 movies this year. 3 of the movies were in theaters at the same time. If he didn't drop out of weapons that would have been 4.
He dropped out of Weapons? Damn cuz that flick is sounding like one of the best movies of the year. But yeah even I am sick of dude being in everything playing the same person.

The fans want Steve, Tony, and T'Challa

but Marvel playing stupid games pretending Sam, Riri, and Shuri "is the same thing" :mjlol:

Now they telling us fans that we don't want a Blade that's simply killing vampires, tho apparently they thought we wanted a Charlie's Angel's rendition of Blade where he was 4th billing:dead:

Only good decision they've made at this point is to reboot everything... but obviously strong odds they'll find a way to F it all up

But yea, let's wait until 2035 before it's ok to see Tony, Steve, and T'Challa on screen again, that's what the "fans" want. :old:

A proper grace period lmao

What's crazy is that i heard they did this in the comics and it FLOPPED and fukked up sales to the point where they had to reboot the comics. Yet they still tried doing it in the movies which has led to the same thing happening :what:

Comics went through a stupid ass phase man

My brother stopped reading comics when they starting putting dikk Grayson on pride covers and when Thor became a woman though I think that story was fine

I can't believe they thought shooting dikk in the head and giving him amnesia was a good idea.

In terms of replacing main characters, the MCU should have made Rhody Iron Man and Bucky Cap. The best Captain America movie was based on a Ed Brubaker story and he was the guy who made Bucky Cap. Rhody as Iron Man should have been a no brainer

The funny thing about replacing main characters... the whole hype and point of bringing Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four over... was so that they could fukk with Steve, Tony, T'Challa, Hulk, and the MCU Avengers :mjlol:

So yea, once End Game ended (no pun) with Tony dead, Steve retired, fan logic was "well you still have Peter Parker and T'Challa as their immediate replacements in popularity, to go along with Thor, Hulk, Wanda, and Vision returning, as well as Dr Strange and Carol Danvers as superior replacements for Hawkeye and Black Widow. Even throwin in Sam Wilson as your diversity Cap that no one cared for (bc they made him a beta for all his appearances, save Infinity War), and you got a pretty fun "Avengers" team.

But obviously losing and not wanting to recast T'Challa (but still succumbing to fan pressure by revealing a b*stard son of the exact same name with the obvious intent to age him up to become a "not a recast but a recast" replica in 10 years.. stupid shyt), to turn Hulk into a p*ssy, to completely botch/sabotage all goodwill Captain Marvel had, as well as any momentum Strange, Wanda, Thor, etc had with consistently shyt storytelling... all those fumbles from bad decisions and even worse writing/storytelling done tarnished the brand.

...i mean, at this point we bringing the F4 and the [teenaged] X-Men to mainstream MCU... to do what? Recreate the shyt Fox already failed at lol. Or have teen Cyclops hang out with riri, kamalah, and Hulk's gay son to recreate Teen Titans Champions, to be later changed to "Young Avengers" 2 weeks into the failed theatrical release? :dead:

Granted, failure leading to a complete reboot is probably the best possible outcome at this point. Clean slate. Have Fegie go be a family man, and go pull a brinks trunk in front of Jonathan Hickman's house to beg him to be their mastermind like what Gunn is for DC. Basically the role Hickman was born for that Fegie only pretended to be adept at.

-First thing I noticed was Sues voice was husky
-...and Ben's voice wasn't
- I liked the space adventure. They shook TF out of Surfer
- so how does the Thunderbolts scene play into the F4 movie?
- Natasha don't age

Saw this earlier today. Thought it was good enough. Marvel needs to gain the fans trust back so even if these aren't mega blockbusters anymore continually releasing decent movies will payoff in the long run.

Now comic heads can let me know if Sue
Pushing Galactus that much even if she dies for it is a thing lol

But looks like it's not performing well but that's fine they put themselves in a hole and there's no shortcuts out of it. They just need to keep at it.

Saw it last night. Was good.

I suffered a little bit of Pedro overexposure at the start of the movie as I was struggling to buy him as Reed but by the middle of the movie I was fully onboard. Movie itself was ok. I didnt think much of the action and outside the first few mins Galactus didnt do it for me. Silver surfer was pretty good.
