Well I'd never heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy before the announcement of the movie so if they turned out fantastic, I'm optimistic about these ones' go at a film adaptation.

@Johnny:
The only one I can recall is Starfox, whose power is basically pheromone brainwashing, so that's a bit problematic.
Wasn't Thanos Starfox's brother? I feel like the farther they go along and the more they realized how creepy the pheromone deal was, the more they focused on the former and the less on his powers.

Once Starfox started doing a barrel roll, it all went downhill from there

! I liked the last one where the glasses told him who Beck was, but even if he wasn't the real Fury, those guys should have been able to figure out he was from their Earth without it getting to the point where Peter would have to.
! Yeah, I guess they would, or they just didn't think Beck was a bad guy because of all those illusions. Though would have been nice how the glasses should have notified Peter about Beck and the place lol XD
-
As far as top villains rumored for this saga, i've heard Doom and Annihilus mostly. I think it might be Annihilus. I would want it to be Kang.
As far as what it would be about, I think it'll center on mutation. The earliest Earth mutation experiments involved the Eternals and it was done by the Celestials. After them, there's the Inhumans and they were a result of the Kree's work. Going from Infinity Stones to mutation would take a lot of maneuvering, if true. Maybe capitalizing on Phase 2 storylines is how they spark the 4th phase

! I mean, the Director of SHIELD ought to have been able to do a simple DMV records search regardless of the guy's story. Even if he was a different Quentin Beck than the one from their Earth, they could have gotten some background information on him like blood type (if for no other reason than if he got injured and needed a transfusion) so his story about coming from another Earth would have been no excuse not to fact-check him and find out if he even had an analogue from their Earth.

Those both would need to come from a Fantastic Four movie to make the most sense. Honestly, they can't have that much CGI and whatnot to do in post-production for Black Widow so why couldn't that have been the February/March release, then bump up F4 to be the April/May release? They were all fired up to insert Spider-Man as fast as they could regardless of the awkwardness of it, so why not the same for their first opportunity to do a non-lousy movie for their First Family?
But mutation is definitely going to be a factor because from the sound of things,
! Guardians 3 is going to be about the High Evolutionary and his involvement in Rocket's creation. Since Guardians 3 is not even on the roster yet from that last announcement from Marvel, it'll probably come late in the Phase 4 lineup and maybe that will be the trigger for a Phase 5 introduction of Mutants.

From what i'm hearing, the movie aspect of Phase 4 is final, but they can change. They started the 1st saga with 6 films and even changed 2 actors, so the possibility is strong.

Oh, that sounds like a god-awful decision of them to leave it at just those paltry 5 titles without even an Avengers title in there to cap it off. I really hope they recant that and give us more to look forward to. I'm not the least bit dazzled by their 8 shows being announced so I need the movies to do that and I'm not overly enthused about them either. Let's hope it's deliberate misdirection so they can give us something really special on the next major announcement.

I feel like when I talk with my friends that I'm the only one that's super excited for the Shang Chi movie, idk why but I've always loved Kung fu movies and I can't wait to see what there going to do with a big budget marvel Kung fu movie, I'm so excited
What about you guys?
-
Kung fu movies are great, I just know nothing about Shang Chi. So here's hoping it's better than Iron Fist.
-
For this era, i've always wanted She-Hulk, Blade, Shang-Chi, Black Knight, Kang, Tigra, Kraven, Mandarin, Exodus, Blastaar, Namor, Clea, and Amadeus in the MCU. 5/13 have been confirmed, 5/13 (Blastaar, Tigra, Kraven, Kang, and Exodus) haven't been rumored or hinted at, 2 have been hinted and 1 is just rumored.
-

The problem with Iron Fist is the show runners decided instead of focusing on a boy transferred to a magical Kung fu city where he learns martial arts and goes toe to toe against other martial artists and various trials that culminates in him fighting a dragon and getting a glowing fist of chi after plunging his hand into the dragons heart upon defeating him
They decided instead to focus on corporate drama
-
Wouldn't have made a difference. They still would've canceled it.

I'm just concerned about the seeming power imbalance between him and the Mandarin if the latter is wielding the 10 Rings.

To be fair, most people seemed to find something wrong with season 1 of Iron Fist.
-

Depends on which way they go with the rings. Will they be related to the basis for chi? In fiction, they've found ways to make a lot of human practices like chi, to really come from experiences with other worldly resources. Like, if a human was to get near the rings and mentally connect to them over a long period of time, they could develop their own power without using the rings. Or chi could just be a mutation that stems from most humans being descendants of those experimented on over a million years ago and only a few were able to tap into it.
Lazy writing on my part, but just off that, a talented writer can make something 100x better. Even ingenuity vs mass power has been cleverly written before. I think it will come down to martial arts vs space science.
-

Oh their was not denying that I'm just of the mind that even if things had been ideal for the series you'd have some contrarians who'd find something to complain about.

I mean, I guess, but unless they're going for some continuity-breaking twist I don't see him busting out the Iron Fist (although, at this point, I wouldn't mind it since I'd sooner forget that either season of Iron Fist existed). To be sure, a stint in K'un L'un would be awesome, show us all the shit they stupidly left out of both seasons of Iron Fist (seriously, there would be nothing wrong with copying the Arrow flashback formula if they did it WELL). If we could actually meet Lei Kung the Thunderer and see his mastery of Chi, there would be something to that. I wouldn't mind that co-opting the Iron Fist story since we're not getting any more of that from the look of things. But all that is a lot of big 'ifs'.
Also, I'm kind of confused, is he a master of Kung Fu or a master of ALL martial arts? I've read stories that have called him either, so which is more appropriate?
I'm also kind of disappointed. Iron Man leading his Iron Legion in IM3 and we got a very horrible and anti-climactic (and ultimately meaningless) finale. Imagine that army of various suits going against the Mandarin, really forcing him to use all ten rings to their fullest and making it worth the effort. Now that it's happening with a different hero (although at a certain point I read on wiki, apparently Shang Chi can create multiple copies of himself?) I just don't really see it happening. Yeah, having to use strategy to win against overwhelming power is cool but we go for the spectacle, not just the story.
-

I'm not super worried since they seem to power down everyone in the cinematic universe a whole lot, outside of captain marvel and captain America, which is good with me cause it gets hard to make a real substantial threat when some of them like Thor and Hulk can literally destroy planets and Iron man and Vision aren't too far behind…. and scarlet witch can warp reality to whatever she wants
I just wonder if they'll actually do each of the rings having a different power, seems kind of whacky to me

Oh yes, Arrow. Reminds me of how DC has basically ran the tv show medium for the last 20 years. Smallvile, Arrowverse (Supergirl was a let down, I had hope in this and it's intolerable) and recently the DC Universe shows. I liked the Netflix/Marvel shows and had to quit Cloak and Dagger because it was awful. Some of those ABC/Marvel shows just weren't my cup of tea.
Anyway, I remember when it was announced as in development when Ant Man came out. Someone on Twitter broke it down for me and how his father would be too much for a live action adaptation. I just heard that he has mastered all disciplines of martial arts and maybe the movie is more clear.
Everything I know about the Mandarin is from the Fox Kids show. I feel like Tony defeating Mandarin with science vs alien science wouldn't be as crazy as Shang-Chi beating Mandarin on a psionic level. Shang-Chi is said to be harmonious and even meditates. Then you have the rings which have formed a bond with Mandarin. I can see Shang-Chi disrupting that bond or showing better chi/being more harmonious.

I think Mandarin's power, being too big to adapt at the time, just didn't fit the Stone narrative. Mutations through the use of alien tech and other methods seem more up this Saga's alley. They barely touched on that in the 1st Saga

Yeah, I don't like too many of WB's shows but there are a few like the Flash that I love. I don't know how they stretched Smallville to last 10 seasons. Supergirl struck me as totally cornball from the trailers and it hasn't really emerged from that stereotype I had it pegged for so I didn't even finish the first season, although I do enjoy when she cameos on the Flash.
And I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like Cloak and Dagger. Another show that would have benefited from them being adults and only having flashbacks to their younger days. If Iron Fist had done way more in-depth and lengthy flashbacks to his training in K'un L'un and the landmarks he passes to become the Iron Fist, like his working up from punching sand, then moving on to gravel and then to larger stones, all in preparation for the bones of Shao Lao's chest. A good screenwriter would have made it less like a ham-fisted mess the way Arrow depicts its flashbacks. For some reason I'm envisioning Moon Knight as being the one that could handle being a corporate drama better and not being terrible for it. Isn't his real identity a rich guy or something?
The Mandarin might only be able to handle wielding two of the rings at once so that can potentially diminish his domination of a battle if he's trying to focus on his target and aim while moving, which also would be hindered if Shang Chi can create duplicates of himself (even if they're only illusions or however they may wish to play it). I know they announced the actor who's playing the titular character but is there any other casting news for it yet?

Yeah, Tony Leung Chiu-wai is playing Mandarin. I've never seen any of his work tho
-
Yeah, doesn't ring a bell for me either. Hope they bring on a lot of supporting cast to expand that side of the Marvel universe. We got a lot of good supporting cast in Black Panther, I want at least as much for Shang Chi.

Then might I recommend Infernal Affairs. It's the movie Martin Scorsese's The Departed is a remake of.
-
I had to watch that for a film class. Wasn't great. But I didn't like the Departed much either.

A bit late, but finally saw Far From Home and it was what I was expecting: fun, goofy, silly … and occasionally there's a "with power comes responsibility" sprinkled here and there. And I wanted more of the latter. Still does not compare to the original Spidey 2. And I knew the Mysterio twist was coming, but I was still utterly gobsmacked by how silly it was. I'd forgotten. I wanted a genuine friendship, and a genuine betrayal (and reluctance on Mysterio's part). And it was true for Peter, but not for the other guy. And there it lost me, due to the goofiness.
And did not care for the mid-credits reveal. That's a big thing. And I want to see what happens after it, that very second. But, in all likelihood, the next film will likely just take place a few weeks or months later.
And my favorite part was Spidey swinging through Manhattan ...

Prior to the deal fizzling out, it actually worked out perfectly with the timing. Black Widow and the Eternals both seem to be prequel films so we wouldn't have to see the advance of time in the MCU and how it affects everyone else, so that would be the perfect excuse for why the world being abuzz with the news about Spider-Man isn't affecting anything.

Mysterio being a prima donna director faking being a superhero is great and is honestly probably the best way to adapt him.

Suuuure … for an episode in a cartoon. For a main villain in the second movie where most of the time is wasted on fake battles that are neither interesting nor evolve the character ... ugh.
If they try and make a villain out of the current version of Flash Thompson ... oh no, that guy like's a sitcom character.
They need a Harry Osbourne bad.
-
They need a Harry Osbourne bad.
Except the last two versions of the franchise already did Harry going Goblin thing.
A loooooot of the choices they made for this iteration are based on not being like the previous two versions.

Do you think, based off that reasoning, we won't have a doctor doom in the fantastic four movie?
-
I expect at some point for status quo to kick in cause hey we can't keep Norman or Harry out of these movies for too long cause we can't.
-
Do you think, based off that reasoning, we won't have a doctor doom in the fantastic four movie?
If they're smart, yes.
Not in the first one anyway. Doom is too big to squander on the origin film. Plus he complicates shit too much. All four previous FF films have had him in it, and as a result the main 4 weren't handled very well and Doom got squandered. The FF have a ton of other things they can do that aren't just Doom and Galactus.
Aside from that, Doom is actually a strong enough villain he could carry his own film first. Or put him in one of the established movies before FF. Black Panther or Doctor Strange maybe.
That aside, Spiderman in Civil War was just two years after Amazing Spidey. Homecoming only 3. Way too soon to retread any of the stuff from the previous.
Given that FF isn't even schedule in this phase of films, its going to be separated from the previous version that no one saw by nine or ten years, and from the version before that that people saw but no one cared about or remembers by almost twenty. It'll be fine to have Doom by then. But they shouldn't jump straight to him.
Also also, the Raimi spiderman films are iconic and beloved and that Goblin and that Doc Ock are well loved. Obviously they need to come around again eventually in some franchise, but they don't demand repeating.

It couldn't hurt to have Doom, just not as the (or even one of the) villain. He wasn't always Reed Richards' enemy so showing his good side for a change would be cool since we could then root for him if and when he gets a solo film or returns and has ambitions that we can relate to despite how he intends to achieve them. If they had his disfiguring accident be caused by Reed, we could even experience the heroes being directly responsible for creating their villains. Almost every other situation had the villain overreacting to something the hero did, or taking out their anger toward another person on the hero just by dint of association. Reed actually deserving everything that's eventually coming to him by Doom would be a nice change of pace.
-
They need to have Doom, they just don't have to start with him. Save him for a juicier sequel.

Understandably so. But as has been said, there are so many more Spidey villains that are waiting to be used, most notably Sandman, Black Cat and, if I have my way, a new Lizard since most people don't really consider the Amazing movies worthy of remembering.
-
most notably Sandman,
They did Sandman already. He was one of the few good points of the third Raimi film.
Black Cat
I'm amazed they haven't gotten to her yet, seems an obvious choice. Maybe they're worried about her being too similar to Catwoman, who is a DC character the general public actually knows about/ Also maybe Black Widow comparisons.
and, if I have my way, a new Lizard since most people don't really consider the Amazing movies worthy of remembering.
Like Goblin and Doc Ock, he'll come around again eventually. It might just be a long, long time. Unless they half arse him into a Sinister SIx deal.
-

Sure. And they got Ned in there to fill in that best friend role. And again, there's no way that they can turn lovey-dovey Ned bad now (except brainwashing, which I got form the wiki). It's too comical. And either way, it won't have the same build up/progression that the Raimi's films had with Harry over three films.

They can differentiate with Black Cat enough if they try. The hair contrasting with her costume, for one thing. Also her grappling hook letting her mimic web-slinging to an extent (not unlike Daredevil), her retractable claws, and of course her bad luck powers.
I had talked with my friends about it and we thought it would be cool if (since it looks like they're doing some Spider-Women movies anyway) there was a mash-up movie where many of them, including Felicia Hardy, were all in some kind of prison for those types of skilled people and Silver Sable comes along and recruits them a la Suicide Squad to work with her on something that requires each of their particular skills.
-

Oh god, I totally forgot about him. Maybe I wanted to forget.
Black Cat seems like a perfect choice for Holland Spidey since he's so adorably awkward.
-
I mean I could be remembering incorrectly because it's been since I was in HS that I read some of the decades old Spidey stories, but weren't Gwen Stacey and Harry introduced as Peter went to college?
Going to college in the films would be a great way to introduce those characters in a realistic way to explain why they haven't been around.
