Yeah…

I don’t think the Thunderbolts are going to make it out of Avengers: Doomsday alive. Yelena’s line about dying felt like something people will circle back to once Doomsday drops.

i don't think so.

pugh is loved and a rising star and a good actress and is british.

:hubie:
We'll see. For the record, I like Pugh—I've been a big fan of hers since Fighting with My Family—and I really like Yelena as a character too. That line just stood out to me in a way that made me think it might be a callback later on, which the MCU is known for.

peronally i don't think she is all that but it clear that she is a studio favorite. and is one of the relatively few post IW newcomers that audiences like a lot.

Helped Daenerys escape the halls of the khalessi before escorting her to Khal hall before disappearing, never to be seen again

One thing this movie has made me realize is that the synergy era with the comics and other media is over. Yelena is the lead in this movie and she's still just as, if not more irrelevant in the comics as nat is actually thriving. And then there's carol. She was pushed in everything for a while. But with her not being in the starting roster for rlmarvel rivals, and including phyla vell over her in that new marvel beat em up, it seems the experiment is over.

As for the movie. I liked it. The team is off balanced as fukk(3 super soldier variants, ghost, and a spy are are street level, then Bob is well known to be broken beyond all belief.) If this was a covert team, that would great. But as an avengers squad they're gonna need some buffing. Moonstone, mach, or songbird would be great additions to this potential team. As it is, eh.

:mjlol: Cacs are really pushing the narrative that Disney. Is forcing people to hate U.S. Agent because he’s a straight white man lol.

:russ:Boi the discourse around movies and video games are cooked.
Crazy when you consider the fact that most people hate him because he isn't Steve Rogers. Another white man.

The thing people don't appreciate with the street level heros is the higher potential for better fight choreo.

Cap vs Bucky >>>> than someone making wiggly hand gestures and red lights flashing on the screen.
More powerful doesn't equal more entertaining. Thats why they always have to nerf the OP characters.

That's more the lack of creativity on the production and directos side.

More limitation than imagination. You can't do an impressive hand to hand combat sequence with Galactus. So they have to nerf him or find so weird solution in order to defeat him (or just let him win) But none of that is ever as satisfying as people punch and kicking each other in the face.

I agree. If those F4 rumors are true, and with the amount of characters in Doomsday, I don't see the value in keeping them around besides shock value deaths. Basically to let the audience know Doom doesn't waste energy on the backups.

compare imagination levels between dr. strange in his own movie vs. dr. strange (wavy hands and all) vs. thanos.
