oh great.

Leah's talking about her ex.

1:30 AM

Fox needs to stop shoe-horning Mystique into every single X-Men movie. And if she does have to keep showing up, at least chose a cohesive characterization for her.

Jack B Nimble

@phantom42 Ouch. I guess that means a bunch of people in my area are going to need jobs.

Himarm

i mean tehy just wanted to show off jennifer lawrence

even if mystic sucks shes the single hottest actress to sell movies with right now

so it pays to include her

Q: Which MCU movies should I see before watching Civil War?

I'm interested to see Captain America: Civil War, but I haven't been keeping up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe very well. I've seen the first Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America films, half of the first Avengers when it was running on television, and Guardians of the Galaxy. From what I've ...

Q: Is there anyone who could fix what happened in Captain America: Civil War?

Near the end of Civil War, The post credits scene shows the extent of the damage. The Winter Soldier has been operating for decades, therefore the technology to build his arm has clearly been around for a while. However, seeing as the majority of HYDRA's operations have been taken down at th...

They are just using him for magic stuff in there TV shows

And might include him in LoT but season 2, no news yet

10:49 AM

@AnkitSharma which happened at the meeting - before the explosion which brought bucky into the picture. and, no, cap was never going to sign them. he opposed them from the very beginning. when wanda was brought up, it cemented that he wasn't going to sign them.

Ankit Sharma

he picked the pen

So he started thinking about it but when Wanda was mentioned , he completely scrapped the idea

phantom42

Again, before the UN explosion

@KutuluMike got my second silo. max went from 240 to 480.

cap picked up the pen as he tried to make a final decision. but he came into the room having already strongly opposed it. tony started to negotiate in the room and cap was hoping to come to a better agreement. that's when wanda came up, and cap cemented his no.

then the UN explosion

at no point was cap in a "ok, i'll sit and abide by this" mindset for more than a few moments.

Ankit Sharma

11:08 AM

During the negotiation, he picked the pen. Is it not the sigh that he is thinking about it?

KutuluMike

11:25 AM

@AnkitSharma that was the second time he was asked to sign, I believe, after the explosion and after things went to hell. They had Bucky in custody by then.

the first time he decided he wasn't going to participate and just stayed home. that's why he was incognito in Vienna.

if Bucky hadn't been framed he would never have come out of hiding, they would have implemented the accords without him, and he would likely have just become a fugitive anyway

Ankit Sharma

hmmmm

Dr R Dizzle

It'll be interesting to see how the Accords effect things moving forward.

Is Peter going to be effected by them?

Black Panther?

Doctor Strange?

Daredevil?

Ankit Sharma

But now Accords are no more

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma Where on Earth did you get that from?

Ankit Sharma

WE have Tony's Avengers and Cap's secret Avengers

Dr R Dizzle

11:30 AM

They were signed by 117 countries.

Ankit Sharma

Can we call it secret avengers ?

Dr R Dizzle

Nothing undid that.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle Avengers don't give it shit anymore , Afetr Zola's plan unfold, it might get canceled

I don't think MCU going to stretch it much

Dr R Dizzle

Meanwhile, Tony has no Avengers on which to call on other than The Vision.

And maybe Peter.

So it's Peter, Tony and The Vision VS... everyone else.

If it even comes to that.

@AnkitSharma Why would it be cancelled?

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle Next film is infinity war, keeping accords till then is not that good idea

They can play with it in Agent of shield at most

Netflix is complete different universe where they can mention MCU stuff no more then 2-3 times

Dr R Dizzle

11:40 AM

@AnkitSharma Out-of-universe reason, we're talking in-universe. There are something like 8 films between now and Avengers: Infinity War.

I bet the Accords are relevant to at least one of them.

Ankit Sharma

I think , they will complete skip it, maybe mention it in some dialogue at most.

And i will love to see if they make it into secret avengers and Tony's avengers.

Both can do more recruitment

KutuluMike

@DrRDizzle I didn't get the impression that Black Widow was actually abandoning the Accords, just that she thought Tony was being a dick

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike After attacking the King of Wakanda in order to help fugitives escape justice, Tony tells her that "they" are coming for her, and she tells him that he needs to watch his back. We don't see her again.

Even if she believes in the Accords (and I don't think she does), she's still an outlaw now.

KutuluMike

true.

but the King of Wakanda changed his mind, he certainly has some influence over things.

He's an influential member of the UN now.

maybe they'll sort things out in the Black Panther movie

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike Maybe.

Ankit Sharma

11:47 AM

None of the superhero seems to be supporting Accords anymore.

I think only War machine shows his support in ending scene

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma Tony probably still believes that the Accords are a step in the right direction, even if he ended up going against them.

And The Vision based his reasoning on an equation that still stands.

Ankit Sharma

That's why we only know War machine is openly supporting them

We don't know exactly what vision want

Spider left as tony told him to go

Black widow left too

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma Peter never believed in the Accords. I doubt he ever even knew why he was fighting really.

Other than "Steve is wrong, and that makes him dangerous"

Ankit Sharma

Yeah that's why i never liked him or his stand

To me peter just completed the count or 6 vs 6 and looked cool

Rest he had no stand of his own

Q: Which comes first chronologically, Jessica Jones Season 1 or Daredevil Session 2?

I see that a character from Jessica Jones, Hogarth appears in the last episode of Daredevil Season 2. Also the name "Jessica Jones" is mentioned in one of the episodes of Daredevil Season 2. Which "event" comes first, Jessica Jones Season 1, or Daredevil Season 2?

marvel-cinematic-universe chronology daredevil-tv jessica-jones

Dr R Dizzle

11:54 AM

@AnkitSharma That's the beauty of his words to Tony. They are ambiguous; Tony reads them as support for the Accords, but Steve would have read them as support for his stance.

Peter's just a kid, and he's still reeling from the death of Uncle Ben. He wants to be more responsible, and this billionaire shows up and tells him "heres how". Who is he to disagree?

"If you can do something, and you don't, and then a bad thing happens, that's your fault".

To Tony, that's about the Accords stopping the bad thing.

To Steve, that's about the Accords stopping them from stopping the bad thing.

Himarm

i think peter, given the option/choices is team cap

by his statements to stark

KutuluMike

except Tony is Peter's idol.

and he's an impressionable kid.

Himarm

thats why cap wont sign, because he cant stop helping people, if he sees it, he has to help, and thats what peter wants to do to

KutuluMike

he's going to be team Tony

Himarm

well obviously he doesnt have any IDEA why hes there

and stark told him that the others are liers

KutuluMike

12:01 PM

except not Team Tony is implicitly Team Cap so it's kinda irrelevant

Himarm

it was like dirty, watching tony come to peter

seeing him manipulate him like he did

KutuluMike

no.

dirty was watching tony with aunt may

Dr R Dizzle

Probably worth remembering that Peter only agreed to go when Tony blackmailed him.

Himarm

which was even worse

come with me, save the world, or ill tell your aunt, also captain america is a lier dont listen to him

oh yeah and if you come with me you cant help people without government panel approval

phantom42

@DrRDizzle this was actually a sore point for me. when tony asks him why he's spider-man, peter just goes on about wanting to help people. this would have been a perfect point to mention ben and/or the 'with great power...'

of note, peter started team-iron man in the comics, and switches to team-cap towards the end

KutuluMike

12:16 PM

I guess they were serious about the no-origin-story bit

phantom42

yeah, but i feel like they didnt have to go into "my uncle died, blah blah" could have just said, "well, someone once told me that with great power comes great responsibility. it's my responsibility to help people"

Dr R Dizzle

12:33 PM

@phantom42 I can understand why they didn't have Peter bearing his sole to this man he's just met. Remember, he's just a kid.

phantom42

what do peters feet have to do with being a kid?

OT: i hate jira.

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 dang

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle He literally just blackmailed him to join and the story had no effect from his presence.

Dr R Dizzle

This Birth.Movies.Death article is a good indication of why that isn't quite true. Spider-Man’s Central Role In CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR - Why webhead is more than just a cool cameo

Ankit Sharma

12:49 PM

Didn't we decided to ignore BMD except Dizzle, who writes there article in secret

Dr R Dizzle

I wish I could write half as well as some of the contributors to BMD.

Ankit Sharma

bleh

Hot aunt may not so intelligent pre-teen spider-man didn't excited me much for there solo film at all

On the other hand the character i hated from comics seems more interesting in MCU (Black panther )

phantom42

hm. got a dv on my civil war pre-watch answer. ideas why?

besides people dv'ing to dv

Dr R Dizzle

"The fact that he recruits 15 year old Peter Parker to fight Captain America only proves that Tony Stark is looking at the Sokovia Accords as a way of taking responsibility and guilt from his own shoulders. He's cutting the wire, not laying himself down on it, to go back to Tony and Cap's first argument way back in The Avengers. He's not interested in taking responsibility. He wants to shrug it off onto someone else."

phantom42

(just looking for any areas in need of improvement)

Ankit Sharma

12:53 PM

@phantom42 I don't do much voting in sicfi, only upvoting in Marvel/DC question or DV rarely for complete crap

@DrRDizzle Yeah he is black mailing kids to do his fights with incomplete informing them.

I had only one major issue in MCU which is Spider-man. Rest are minor ones which i can ignore

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma "By having Tony make this mistake the film undercuts his own position, bringing the two sides into closer balance in our minds. And that balance, I believe, is everything for this film - you should be able to argue passionately (and correctly) in favor of both Team Cap and Team Stark."

It's a really good article, even if I don't quite agree with all of it.

@AnkitSharma "You could pull Spider-Man out of Civil War and have the same basic plot, but the plot isn’t the be-all, end-all of a movie. Spider-Man’s role is fundamental for the film’s larger thematic concerns, and I don’t even know what the version of this script was like before Marvel and Sony reached their deal. Oh, and he’s also cool as hell. Sometimes that alone makes a character or a scene indispensable. Let's not pretend we're above wanting cool shit in our movies."

Ankit Sharma

I don't have access to BMD in office and i don't even like there articles

phantom42

russos say that was the script before the deal

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle 6 vs 6 nothing much to it

phantom42

backup script was missing spidey

Ankit Sharma

12:58 PM

Spider-man is eye candy for superhero fans and they just used it for civil war promotion

He didn't had nay impact on story at all

Dr R Dizzle

Ankit Sharma

Even agent 13 had more impact

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma The quote I gave literally states that ""You could pull Spider-Man out of Civil War and have the same basic plot, but the plot isn’t the be-all, end-all of a movie. Spider-Man’s role is fundamental for the film’s larger thematic concerns".

Ankit Sharma

On the other hand every other character had some good purpose for story

@DrRDizzle Not at all "Spider-Man’s role is fundamental for the film’s larger thematic concerns" is completely over the top forced positive reaction

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma The themes of the film are loss, grief, responsibility and revenge. How does Peter Parker not fit all of those?

Ankit Sharma

1:01 PM

@DrRDizzle Grief on what? Loss, he got col gadgets no loss.

Loss, he got col gadgets no loss.

responsibility, hey he was blackmailed for participation

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma Cap is greiving for Peggy, Tony is greiving for losing Pepper, Peter is still dealing with the loss of Uncle Ben.

Ankit Sharma

revenge on ?

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma Peter doesn't really reinforce the idea of revenge, but in his origin story in the original films Peter nearly kills Uncle Bens killer out of revenge.

KutuluMike

AFAIK There is absolutely zero mention of Peter grieving anyone or that he recently lost his uncle.

granted, we know his origin story

phantom42

@AnkitSharma tony wants revenge for his parents. t'challa wants revenge for his father. zemo wants revenge for his family.

KutuluMike

1:03 PM

but in the movie, he's just a kid who suddenly got power 6 months ago

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike He says he's had his powers for 6 months, which means we know that Uncle Ben isn't long in the ground.

phantom42

are you sure you even watched the movie?

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle So? It's not canon to MCU

KutuluMike

@DrRDizzle only if you inject your own prior knowledge into the movie.

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma No, it isn't, but those are still the main themes of the film and Peter reinforces 75% of them.

KutuluMike

1:04 PM

for all we know, MCU peter may just be living with his single hot young aunt

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 I was talking about spider only

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike Which we are expected to do, given that there have been 5 prior Spider-Man films.

KutuluMike

btw, who seems remarkably perky for having just lost her husband

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 I think you missed the whole conversation where dizzled said

3 mins ago, by Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma The themes of the film are loss, grief, responsibility and revenge. How does Peter Parker not fit all of those?

KutuluMike

I think it's a major stretch to claim that peter's unspoken and unmentioned tragic backstory that no one talks about somehow forms a key aspect of the theme of the film.

3

he's comic relief

the dueling comic relief duo of spider-man and ant-man

Dr R Dizzle

1:06 PM

@KutuluMike I never said it forms the themes; regardless of Peter's appearance in the film, the themes are still there. But he certainly helps reinforce them.

@DrRDizzle so I am disagreeing with the article and not you then.

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike Yes.

KutuluMike

1:08 PM

you quoted it to support your point, though

Dr R Dizzle

I think Peter's inclusion works well with the themes, I don't think it's fundamental.

Ankit Sharma

@AnkitSharma The themes of the film are loss, grief, responsibility and revenge. How does Peter Parker not fit all of those?

phantom42

we all disagree with dizzle just on principle though

Ankit Sharma

^ what about this

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike I quoted it after Ankit said that Spider-Man adds nothing to the plot.

KutuluMike

1:09 PM

he kinda doesn't. neither does ant-man.

Dr R Dizzle

The relevant part was "the plot isn’t the be-all, end-all of a movie"

Ankit Sharma

As per you there are 4 point of the theme of film (loss, grief, responsibility and revenge)

How he fill any of them

Himarm

spiderman and antman are for fun imo, thats what t hey added, to great effect, but removing either wouldnt have been much of a loss

KutuluMike

if anything, Peter is a refreshing point of light, simple humor in an otherwise thematically deep and complex and tragic movie.

Ankit Sharma

But Ant-man look relevant, his choosing a side, dialogue and everything goes perfect for the film

phantom42

1:10 PM

truthfully, ant-man and spidey are fun diversions, added to fill roles in the story that didnt necessarily need to be there.

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma He hits 3/4. His little speech shows us how guilty he feels about the loss of Uncle Ben. Yes, that relies on knowledge of the character; knowledge that everyone already has.

Ankit Sharma

His giant man avatar also was good for film

Himarm

antman doesnt really choose a side either

they just pick his ass up and say your with cap

hes like cool

KutuluMike

yeah, ant-man just goes along with Falcon and is star-struck by Cap

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle no at all, we know nothing about his past. So no.......not for MCU

phantom42

1:11 PM

at least he didnt end up like his counterpart in the comics

(spoiler: dead)

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma We do though. Radioactive Spider, Uncle Ben, great power, great responsibility. We all know that that is what happened.

Himarm

as far as we know spidermans uncle cheated on his wife

phantom42

and drank a beer

Himarm

and isnt even dead

Ankit Sharma

@Himarm In Ant-man his mentor already manipulated him to not trust Tony. And he picked the side which is opposite to his current believe

Nobody blackmailed him

Dr R Dizzle

1:12 PM

I actually felt that Ant-Man was more shoe-horned in than Spider-Man. His entire arc in Ant-Man has him trying to prove that he's more than a criminal so he can see his daughter again. Why would he risk that?

KutuluMike

because he thinks he's being a hero

phantom42

nobody blackmailed ant-man, but theres also no evidence that he cares one way or another

KutuluMike

in his mind, he's working with The Avengers to save the world

how much more heroic can you get?

Himarm

@AnkitSharma would he probably have sided with cap anyway, yes, did he actualy care at all? no, he litterally just got picked up and said fight with cap, and hes like "okay"

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle Now you are forcing what you know into the film which never happens in the film.

Dr R Dizzle

1:13 PM

@KutuluMike "You'll be breaking the law." "Yeah, what else is new." He knows he's not on the side of the law here.

Ankit Sharma

He was for cool factor and to fill 6 vs 6 count

phantom42

@AnkitSharma TBF: feige has said that mcu spidey is coming in without getting an origin story because everyone already knows it

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma Because it's knowledge we are expected to have thanks to the 2 versions of his origin (the most popular superhero in the world, by the way) we've all already seen. I have no idea how you can be this dense.

KutuluMike

I'm sure he figured he was in good company

since Captain f'ing America is breaking the same law.

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike True. It just felt a little reckless given Ant-Man; then again, I guess Scott IS a little reckless.

Himarm

1:14 PM

imo if your with captain america, you can do whatever you want

lol

phantom42

based on that comment, it's not unreasonable to assume the standards: radioactive spider, dead parents, dead uncle ben, great power...

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 So which origin are we going to take . Spider-man film one, ASM film one or from comics that totem one? or some what-if one?

Himarm

horny aunt may

Ankit Sharma

@Himarm sexy aunt may

She looks more sexy then Black Widow

Himarm

id like to point out, that stark also tells us why hes never really liked/gotten along with cap in this moive

KutuluMike

1:16 PM

@phantom42 I'm sure we are supposed to assume the standard facts about the origin story, but that's a far cry from injecting the emotional meaning of those events into the film without even mentioning them.

Himarm

because his dad shoved cap down his throat for 20 years

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma None of them. All we are expected to know is that he's got Spider powers from a spider, and that uncle ben died and he blames himself. That's it.

Himarm

which brings new lite to their tension the last 3453 movies

KutuluMike

bud lite?

ah crap.

phantom42

@KutuluMike fair. just pointing out that we're allowed to assume the basic facts here

KutuluMike

1:17 PM

im late for work

its all dizzle's fault

3

Dr R Dizzle

@KutuluMike "If you can do something, and you don't, and then the bad thing happens, that's your fault" is, with knowledge of Peter, a confession of guilt about the death of Uncle Ben. That works for me.

@KutuluMike Everything is.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle And assume he has grief and responsibility and maturity and ......... because he had that in comics ?

phantom42

@AnkitSharma origin wise, they're all pretty much the same. field trip, radioactive spider, dead uncle ben. the real difference comes with the parents. maguires version doesnt touch them. but in the comics, they were spies. the garfield version is a play on that.

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 Does that also qualifying to complete four pillar of the film theme as said by dizzle?

phantom42

@Himarm he's complained about his dad's idolization of cap before

@AnkitSharma didn't say it did. you asked which origin we're supposed to assume he has

point is that all versions of peters origins are pretty much identical

Ankit Sharma

1:21 PM

@phantom42 I get you point, but my point is we don't know his exact purpose in life in MCU, he is just a cool teen superhero come and throw jokes. He doesn't fill any thematic value for film

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma No, we are just meant to know that anyone who loses someone close to them gets sad.

@AnkitSharma You are wrong.

Ankit Sharma

So i think knowing his back story didn't help us to say that he is way essential for the film and important for thematic representation of the main theme for the film

@DrRDizzle How because i didn't added his old story in the mix to prove his presence more important in the film.

phantom42

more moviepilot trash: X-Men Returning To Marvel? Will 'X-Men: Apocalypse' Be The Final Nail In The Coffin For Fox?

Ankit Sharma

MCU can work anytime without X-men

phantom42

OP suggests just rebooting x-men and saying they've been in the mcu the whole time

... in san francisco

Dr R Dizzle

1:25 PM

@AnkitSharma No, because Peter Parker as a character works well with most of the themes the film is dealing with. He just does.

@phantom42 I'd rather not, thanks.

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 Can't access the link but i suppose it doesn't make much sense

Dr R Dizzle

I feel like the X-Men can support their own universe, with the right touch.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle He does what he didn't done. Nice point.

X-men is too big thing, they don't need support from non x-men to make films. Juts blame fox for being so dumb

MCU also have too much of their own and from GotG, they proved that they can make anything work

I just have one issue Hulk. I am a hulk fan and he is too less used
I want to see she-hulk, red hulk, planet of the hulk, etc etc which seems impossible

KutuluMike

on a completely unrelated note: how is it that a fairy tale show called Once Upon A Time has absolutely zero happy endings?

Ankit Sharma

@KutuluMike hahahahhah, don't ask me i left the show and I am happy with my decision

phantom42

1:35 PM

@KutuluMike that was a pretty dark episode

KutuluMike

"love always wins, hope always wins, we will always be together, heros get their happy endings if they just believe and try and -- oh wait you're dead."

@phantom42 it seems to be a recurring theme, though.

the only couple in the whole show that has managed to not die is snow/charming and god i hate those two.

phantom42

we've had some happy endings too though

red and alice, for now

KutuluMike

that is true, i guess.

so the only way to get a happy ending is to run the hell away from storybrooke

phantom42

pretty much

elsa/anna

what happened to ~~hurley~~ the giant?

is he still farming in storybrooke?

KutuluMike

fell off a beanstalk and broke his neck?

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 he started farming and red used his only remaining bean

KutuluMike

ah. so driven out of business by a selfish werewolf?

Ankit Sharma

@KutuluMike hahahahha

@KutuluMike The whole scene of red using the last bean was too dumb

Snow white gave the bean to the less deserving candidate from the whole bunch of characters

i know henry doesnt want to abuse his powers as the author, but i kinda have a hard time with him just saying, "yeah, i guess i'll just let everything go to complete shit even though i can fix all this in 3 seconds"

Ankit Sharma

@phantom42 Because they want to make 6-7 more seasons

phantom42

they just killed a god. theyr'e running out of stories

Ankit Sharma

I only liked there first 2 season and wonderland

They had potential but they ruined it by repeated dumb plot

Dr R Dizzle

Isn't Once Upon a Time just the store-brand version of Fables anyway?

phantom42

dont know what fables is, so... maybe?

Dr R Dizzle

@phantom42 A comic book where loads of fictional characters such as Snow White, Prince Charming etc live in a world that is attached to the real world.

phantom42

premise sounds the same, at least.

or at least, similar

in OUAT they start out not knowing they're from the stories/another world

everything is a remixed version of the disney stories

Dr R Dizzle

The series deals with various people from fairy tales and folklore – referring to themselves as "Fables" – who have been forced out of their Homelands by "The Adversary" who has conquered the realm. The Fables have traveled to our world and formed a clandestine community in New York City known as Fabletown. Fables who are unable to blend in with human society (such as monsters and anthropomorphic animals) live at "the Farm" in upstate New York.

@Himarm That's interesting. I guess if the guy behind Fables doesn't consider it to be a rip-off, it probably isn't.

Then again;

DC didn't want me as part of the deal making and paid handsomely not to have me directly involved

Himarm

well he said whatever deal that was fell through

Dr R Dizzle

2:09 PM

So maybe he just doesn't care, being as he already got paid.

Himarm

plus its disney, if it was a rip-off someone would sue, namely dc

Dr R Dizzle

"If I like Batman, it doesn't mean I have to dislike Captain America" - That was a good interview until he was objectively wrong :P

Himarm

im looking at some of the fables plots

and their all over the place

i guess all those characters are public domain

so you can do whatever you want with them

lol

Dr R Dizzle

I only know about the series because my girlfriend owns a few of the TPB collections. One of them was basically just a spy story, but with Cinderella (at least, I think it was Cinderella, my memory sucks).

Q: Does anyone know how old Yoda is?

In Star Wars, does anyone know how old Yoda is? Is it mentioned in any Star Wars movies?
