Who Will Ultimately Be The MCU's Anchor Being?
Deadpool and Wolverine came out a few weeks ago and it was everything that I hoped it would be. It was fun. It was touching. It had me burst out laughing at certain moments. I screamed at certain cameos that I won’t spoil for anyone who still hasn’t seen the film yet.
One of the best parts about the film is that - sure. It is a love letter to all the Fox X-Men films, but it actually does push along the overarching Multiverse storyline along - which out of all the films in Marvel’s phases 4 and 5, aka the Multiverse Saga, has been lacking. And out of all the needed exposition dumps to explain to audiences what’s going on, they added one new variable to the mix. The concept of an Anchor Being.
In short, an anchor being is supposed to be someone of such great importance to a given universe that their world quite literally revolves around them. On a metatextual level, they’re the character that’s front and center of the films that the audiences are there to see. On a storytelling level, it’s the character with the most plot importance and if they were killed or removed - would literally make that world collapse.

I’ve been having a lot of fun creating TH-cam videos, but I feel like I’m missing something. When I first started out, I knew there was one niche that if given the opportunity, I could talk about forever and never get burnt out. Comic Books. I can talk forever about any and every little thing in any nerdy pop culture property entirely unprompted to anyone who will let me. I’m pretty good with a...
What Were the Blade Scripts that Marvel Abandoned?
มุมมอง 5K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Ever since it was originally announced, fans have been excited about the possibility of an upcoming MCU Blade film. And from what has been officially announced - Mahershala Ali will be starring as the titular part-vampire vampire hunter, it will be rated R, and then we got an off-screen post-credits cameo in Eternals of Ali telling Dane Whitman “Are you sure you’re ready for that, Mr. Whitman?”...

That Time Marvel Tried to Bury the X-Men

It’s a good time to be an X-Men fan right now. We have a hit cartoon that is so beloved by everyone that it’s the focal point in discussions about weekly release schedules. The upcoming Deadpool and Wolverine film has no one talking about the Superhero film Fatigue. And the Fall of Krakoa storyline is front and center for many of the arcs across nearly all of Marvel’s current titles. We’re only...
What Happened to all the Great Supervillains?
มุมมอง 1.3K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
The hero/villain dynamic is so engrained in the very fiber of comic books that it’s almost impossible to find a hero without at least one deep, compelling nemesis in mainstream comic books. Superman has Lex Luthor. Batman has the Joker. Spider-Man has the Green Goblin. The Fantastic Four have Doctor Doom. So why is it then that in the live-action adaptation, supervillains almost always become a...

I love comic books. For just a moment, I can immerse myself in the story where the physically impressive superheroes put on flashy costumes to go face-to-face with the bad guy. Everything makes sense, even if it’s set in an absurdly over-the-top world. And at the end of the day, the good guys will usually always triumph, and the fans are happy. It should come as no surprise then that another po...

    In terms of securing commercialism, it might well become a Spider-man (Peter or Miles ?) w/an interest to finally secure him back into live action Marvel for good while not totally washing out the entertaining work multiverse stuff in the animated movies has done thus far; I'm reluctant to say how 'the more shallow' alternative is Deadpool.

  • @APDS-Akin
    @APDS-Akin 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

    In terms of capabilities to reliably handle this it'd prob. make the most sense that it'd be Dr.Strange.. if anyone's interested in a consistent return to a 'Savage Hulk' a la Edward Norton, 'in the interest of a consistent return to a 'Savage Hulk' I could see an adaptation which could *maybe* make the Hulk like this but only after going through something as distinctly intense as an adaptation of 'The Immortal Hulk' story , maybe changing 'The one beneath all' to've functionally been 'Alioth' and having that comic's final chat btw the Hulk and 'The one above all' sort of, instead be a ~'wholesome and *radical 4th wall disappearance*' giving the Hulk a glimpse of how much he and Marvel characters mean to irl ppl-- think the irl footage from 'End of Evangelion' and you might know what I'm trying to get at or something like the end of ~'Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time' where Shinji has some crazy big reveals and settlements before apparently reconciling with his dad but before those final 'epilogue' like moments where he chooses to stay with Mari. Whether in a series or movie(s), the Hulk related idea might be substantially difficult to pull off and commit with, requiring functional 'R rated vibes' and maybe even trippiness akin to the auteur vibe of 'Legion' or a Christopher Nolan movie but I personally think it'd be a really poetic and metatextual take for one of Marvel's most famous (but vulnerable to reductionism) characters, not the least since there is seemingly not much to say about a ceaselessly strong rage monster who mainly just wants to be left alone ( '_' 'to say nothing' of 'his other side').
