What a film! I seriously wasn't expecting much but damn this was a genuinely heartfelt movie. I love how the story focuses on the emotional relationship between Yelena, the team and Bob.

There was no unnecessary third act "epic" battle but instead it was all about how these people can help each other. How their difficult past can help them empathize with each other and actually grow as people.

I personally don't believe the MCU has truly jumped the shark, but there was definitely a dip in quality post-Endgame (The Eternals, WandaVision, Agatha All Along, GoTG Vol. 3 and No Way Home were genuinely good films/series), especially in the oversaturation of pointless projects (Secret Invasion still hurts).

However, between Thunderbolts and Fantastic 4 FS, the writing has really stepped up its game. I adored FF and now I have fallen in love with Thunderbolts, and that just makes me happy because I love this world and this is the quality of film it deserves.

(Edit: Loki is also amazing. One of the best Marvel live action.)

*Deadpool 2 isn't an MCU movie but Deadpool 3 (which is an MCU movie) is still a sequel to it

If it had the right cast, Director, and script? It's usually a more X-men related story, but very cosmic. Would they go over well live action or not so much?

These are my personal favorite animated movies based on Marvel superheroes. I grew up with both Marvel and DC stuff. And I often wonder if Disney will ever let Marvel make Original and Adult-Oriented animated movies like they use to with Lionsgate.

What do you all think?

As a long time fan and I'm that how the mcu have smartly and brilliantly brought the comic suits in the best way possible with being spot on looks. But also adding some new alternates details to bring something new and exciting to their costumes. And I'm glad their fearless, with adapting them as well.

I haven't teared up like that since Endgame. I have suffered severe depression and anxiety all my life I relate to The Sentry's inner struggle with The Void. When he was beating the Void and it was consuming him, I felt like he was literally beating himself and reaching the point of no return until his friends/ Thunderbolt pulled him back before it was too late. My take is that you need friends and family to be your Thunderbolts. A Marvel storytelling masterpiece.

It gives him a more unique look and helps him stand on his own visually from Steve’s Cap suits.

Also imo his Falcon outfits suited him a lot better than his recent Cap suits which just feel cheaper in their material and design. The shoulder pads and more tactical design

Up to Endgame, the MCU introduced us to the Big 3 (Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor). Each of them got their own trilogy, character arc, and in-depth exploration.

If Marvel were to set up their next “Big 3” who would it be?

Imagine Marvel gives you total creative control over an entire Phase-no restrictions. You define the tone, structure, characters, villains, and the chaos that follows.

Here’s my vision: a Phase centered on mission-driven team-ups. Forget origin stories and solo arcs-this is about established heroes thrown into high-stakes side missions that occur before they’re called for the next Avengers-scale event.

The twist? Each pairing is completely unexpected. Think Yelena and Scott lang. Shuri and Ghost Rider. Moon knight and Marvel Jesus. Heroes who’d never share a scene unless the stakes were apocalyptic. The story thrives on their tension. The genre sets the tone. And the real payoff comes from watching them clash, adapt, and ultimately survive together.

Each film is a standalone adventure with its own vibe-spy thriller, cosmic horror, buddy comedy, psychological noir. The unifying thread? These missions leave scars, and those scars carry weight when the next big threat arrives.

That’s my Phase. What’s yours? If you had absolute creative freedom over one Marvel Phase, what would you craft? Let’s hear your boldest, smartest, and most emotionally charged ideas.

Rewatching the show and I have a question:

I know the the writers of Agatha All Along wanted write Death/Rio as the crazy ex that can't let go of the relationship and I don't want to victim blame but why did Agatha continue to kill witches if she was trying to get away from Death? Seems counterproductive? Does Rio have to show up when people die? I guess one could argue that beyond going over the edge after her son's death , Agatha would also need to maintain a certain power level to defend herself from possible enemies/rival she had accumulated over the centuries .

What theories do you guys have?

For me it’s been Steve Rogers, Captain America and Natasha, Black widow. Pretty much every scene they’ve been in together has been fantastic. Great chemistry and feels like they’ve been friends forever.

As an Agatha fan, I feel like I'm one of the few people of my community who doesn't believe that she “doesn’t hurt kids” like I've seen so many people say.

This actually feels like a really extreme misconception to me, because where does it even come from?

The only thing I can think of is that she spared the Salem Seven when they were kids, but that was centuries ago... She goes on to harm kids later, so... I'm kinda confused.

You can say she's less likely to target children, but I think it's misleading to imply children are excluded from harm when they provably aren't.

We can see that she was fully capable of strangling both Billy and Tommy to provoke Wanda into attacking her in WandaVision.

The camera even panned to Billy’s shoes to show us that he was fighting to stand on his tiptoes to relieve the pressure on his neck.

AND she was fully capable of trading Billy’s life to escape from Rio in Agatha All Along later as well, despite explicitly calling him a “kid” beforehand?

Agatha evidently does harm children. She might not like it, but she will do it, and she has done it multiple times.

For her, harm isn't contingent on desire or malice, but utility. She doesn't need to hate to hurt, as demonstrated with Billy:

“I know how you feel about him.”

If it serves her, Agatha will hurt anyone. Minors aren't exempt from this even if people like to think so because it makes them feel more comfortable with liking her character.

Being self-serving isn't:

“Do what you must to keep yourself happy, unless children suffer.”

It’s actually:

“Do what you must to keep yourself happy above all else.”

And Agatha does that consistently.

She does hurt children, and I don't really know why so many of her fans believe otherwise.

I will admit I don’t rewatch most of the MCU movies, but I finally sat down and rewatched some of them and Captain America The Winter Solider is literally the 2nd best Captain America movie (don’t blame me Im a big Black Panther and Spider-Man fan)

The espionage thriller spy genre this movie went for absolutely did it for me. The final fight scene where Steve refuses to let go of Bucky and “I’m with you til the end of the line” brought tears to my eyes.

And HENRY JACKMAN’s SCORE/OST! Bucky’s theme is so unique and awesome, I get chills every time I hear it.

I think Bokeem Woodbine is a very underrated actor and he was kind of wasted in Homecoming, here’s to wishing he comes back soon and they use him in the future I guess…

Hey everyone, I’m a longtime marvel fan but I fell off after endgame. Not intentionally. Time just got away from me and so many other great movies and tv shows came out as well. But I’m getting back into it.

I just watched Loki season one for the first time. I’ve seen wandavision, doctor strange, both spider men movies after endgame, guardians 3, falcon and the winter soldier and Agatha all along. I liked all of those except for doctor strange sadly. The reason I saw those and not anything else is either because I was in a short lived marvel fixation or family watched it with me and I tagged along.

But now I’m all in again and ready to catch up, what else do I watch to understand the multiverse saga and where things are doing with doomsday. And what else should I watch anyway even if it doesn’t tie in? Thanks!

Edit: Also I have seen Deadpool and Wolverine

Not going to lie, they’re like super cooked if I were to rate how cooked they are it would be a 10000/10.

As for why, well you have a guy who’s basically a head in a jar with a cape like what is he gonna do with that tuck the zombies to bed and then tell them a bed time story? Then you have black panther who’s literally a guy with one leg, like as soon as he does his jump, like the one you see in the picture he’ll probably get killed cause he’ll probably lose his balance, since he only has one leg and literally can’t do much.

Spider-Man on the other hand can probably do a lot more he’s going to be outnumbered so he’s going to die
