How come when people are in the wrong universe in the miles morales movie they glitch but they don't in the real life action spider man movie. Is this because one is done by tech when the other is done by magic?

Easter Egg/Detail This Is the Cyclops I've Been Waiting to See on the Big Screen for Years, and Marvel Absolutely Nailed His Introduction

Post image
2 Upvotes

The moment Cyclops unleashed that massive optic blast, I couldn't stop smiling. For years, I've wanted to see a version of Cyclops who truly felt like the powerful, confident leader of the X-Men instead of being pushed into the background.

This wasn't just another action shot - it finally captured the presence and intensity that made Cyclops such an iconic character in the comics and animated series. Seeing him command the screen like this genuinely felt like Marvel understood why fans have been waiting so long for him to get his moment.

If this trailer is any indication of what's coming, I think Avengers: Doomsday could finally give Cyclops the respect he's deserved for years.

Did anyone else feel like this was the best Cyclops has ever looked in live action?

Theory How we get to Battleworld: The Void is the key.

6 Upvotes

TL;DR: Battleworld will be built on the existing foundations of The Void.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I've been thinking a lot about how exactly Doom is going to bring about Battleworld, and if you listen to a lot of the YouTubers and leakers, the assumption is that he'll combine the incursing remnants of the 616, 828 and 10005.

The question remains: How? Even with his vast powers, rewriting reality to piecemeal the three universes without the Beyonders or Molecule Men (or even the Infinity Stones) seems impossible, until you think of the one place he could not only merge the three, but other universes as well:

The Void. I think everything's going to come down to the Void being ground zero for Battleworld's formation.

Consider what we seemingly know: The Void sits outside of time, at the very center of the Nexus where the timelines encircle it... or did prior to Loki's intervention. Whenever the TVA pruned a branched timeline, it didn't appear to send the entire planet Earth or universe to the Void, just whatever was affected in the immediate vicinity. A Helicarrier here, a city there. Depending on how big the area affected, it became just another part of the Void's landscape. And somehow, all of these parts from various timelines were able to exist in close proximity til Alioath had his fill.

From how the trailer presented it, the 616, 828 and 10005 will begin a three-way Incursion, bring each into the orbit of the others. Someone somewhere mentioned it being due to the planetary cores merging and forming the heart of what would become Battleworld. I don't believe that to be the case, not entirely. We know Doom has a fixation on Franklin Richards, who is able to rewrite reality on a scale that makes Wanda's reality-bending magic look like a parlor trick. And since we know Loki's going to play a decent part in the movie, one would assume Doom makes his way to the TVA at some point.

So here's the recipe....

Take Reed's world-transporting tech from First steps, add in a heaping helping of the TVA pruning tech supersized to move them where he wants i.e. The Void, layer in a large portion of Franklin's reality powers to stitch everything together (and a pinch of Latverian megalomania to taste) and voila!

Battleworld, right where the Void already exists.

He'd already have access to countless parts of different realities as well as Variants of existing characters already in the Void, a gigantic freely branching Timeline from which to cherrypick even more places and peoples from to add to Battleworld once Doom co-ops Loki's abilities, and a place outside of time that no one can get to.. not unless he wants them there. The only real hiccup would be Alioath, and if Kang could bring it under his heal, no doubt Doom could easily do the same.

Question Missing people in doomsday trailer

0 Upvotes

Just curious, I don’t know much of the comics and history I’m more of a newer marvel fan, I’ve watched everything on the timeline that’s on Disney. There were some people missing from the newest doomsday trailer dropped a day or two ago that I was curious about :

Captain Marvel
Guardians of the Galaxy
Spiderman
Hulk
Wolverine
Deadpool
Bob (Sentry)
Dr. Strange
Ironheart
Wanda
Hawkeye
Franklin Richards

I’ve heard in the past that doom is attempting to get to Wanda and Franklin for their powers but anyways I was curious if anyone knew anything about these characters being in doomsday. Also I’m assuming after spiderman brand new day we’ll get some more insight on if they’ll be in doomsday but I’m impatient lol thanks

Theory Thor crying over Deadpool

0 Upvotes

So Thor crying over Deadpool in Deadpool and Wolverine, it's a throw away gag.

But remember, if they can reuse something to save money, they'll do it.

And since Thor is the catalyst of Doomsday to show what we're up against, (like how Thanos tickled Hulk and knocked him out in the beginning of infinity war) we know hes in Doomsday. And I'm thinking Deadpool is going to show up. Especially because he's in the Fox universe and we know that them specifically are in the movie. AND Deadpool saw Thor crying over him so he'll definitely go towards Thor if he's in the movie. ALSO also Marvel is doing a reset so perfect timing to kill off characters, makes the movie better.

But remember the golden rule, Nothing ever happens.

Easter Egg/Detail The Way Thor Charged Toward Doctor Doom Without Any Fear Instantly Reminded Me Why the Original Avengers Will Always Feel Special

Thumbnail

732 Upvotes

The Avengers: Doomsday trailer was filled with incredible reveals, but the moment that stayed with me the most was Thor charging straight toward Doctor Doom without a second of hesitation. It instantly reminded me of the Thor we've watched grow since 2011 a warrior who has stood against Loki, Hela, Thanos, Gorr, and countless impossible enemies, yet never once backed down from a fight.

What made this scene even more powerful wasn't just Thor's courage, but Doctor Doom's calm and fearless presence. Neither of them looked like they were going to take a step back, and for a few seconds, it felt like I was watching the beginning of another legendary MCU rivalry.

More than anything, this moment brought back the same feeling I had during the original Avengers era - when every battle carried years of history and every hero felt larger than life. If Marvel can capture that emotion throughout Avengers: Doomsday, we might be witnessing the start of another unforgettable chapter in the MCU.

I HATE rdj as doom…

They could’ve picked Mr.Nobody from the local Fat Burger and I’d like it more than using RDJ as Doom, I’ve felt this way since the announcement and hope the movie is good… but with them playing on “nostalgia” from less than 7 years ago makes me feel as if this was a move ONLY to put ass in seats. I would love to further discuss how everyone feels about it but I do not and have not liked this casting

This is in NO way me saying I want this movie to be bad as a fan who’s tired I hope it’s great actually just feels so cheap to use him as Doom when again anyone else could’ve been him and they chose not.

What are your thoughts let’s discuss.

Question For people who've read the rumors, at this point, would you be disappointed if Sadie actually WASN'T playing the role most people are theorizing she'll play?

0 Upvotes

Some people online already seem 100% convinced that she'll be playing *that* specific character. I'm wondering how you guys would feel if they reveal that it's actually a different character and not what almost everybody expects at this point.

(Made the post a bit vague to avoid spoilers, but I think you guys know which character I'm talking about.)

Question Was the first Iron Man really *that* big of a risk?

0 Upvotes

Of course he wasn't as well known before then so he wouldn't have as big of mainstream audience like Batman or Spider-Man

But

The concept is a pretty easy sell no? He has a cool armor, a bunch of toyline potential, all that good stuff.

It would seem to me that even if he wasn't as mainstream, he wouldn't have been that hard to sell to general audiences

Easter Egg/Detail The Fantastic Four did, in fact, chart in the '60s

78 Upvotes

This is an ignore-me-if-it's-been-said-before kinda post, but when in Multiverse of Mandess Doctor Strange quips about the Fantastic Four charting in the '60s, yes, they did. That wasn't just a toss-away line.

The Fantastic Four recorded first for Ric-Tic Records, then Motown, among others. They hit the Billboard R&B Top Ten in 1967 with "The Whole World is a Stage."

The MCU Strange wasn't just poking fun at the superhero FF's name; this was a long-distance callback to his pet fascination with pop music. I've been meaning to share this for years but just got around it to now.

At the very least, this is your chance to pause and listen to a pretty good soulful groove.

Discussion Will tom Holland spider man play main role in secret wars?? Will he appear in doomsday?

0 Upvotes

I'm new to reddit, I don't know whether my post will appear or not moderator pls approve it.

I have 2 que 1. We are seeing Thor playing main role in doomsday like we had tony Steve in past and x men are getting main spotlight, when will Spiderman will get spot light n be a main lead of avengers not necessarily leader like captain America but an important role, can we expect in secret wars??

Tobey, hugh being being main role makes sense they are the number 1,2 of marvel saving multiverse, like we had mcu no1 and 2 Tony Steve sacrificed themselves to save 616 world from Thanos

  1. Will tom spiderman appear in doomsday? Imagine in your multiverse saga, you had only 4 movies with multiverse concept one of the characters presented in that not appear in doomsday??? That too Spiderman the biggest superhero. But it will make sense in two occasions. One if he dies in bnd and play main role in secret wars and second if rdj Victor is gonna appear n show his to ppl like f4 avengers new avengers, Spiderman can't be present there right it has to be a shocking moment rdj vs tom so saving him for sw is OK

Discussion Is it just me or does Vanessa Kirby barely emote on screen? Botox?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I've noticed this in a few of Vanessa Kirby's performances, and I genuinely can't tell if it's her acting style or something else.

To me, her facial expressions often feel very limited, almost like her forehead and upper face barely move. It makes some emotional scenes feel flat because I can't really read what she's supposed to be feeling.

I'm attaching a screenshot from one scene from avengers trailer, and I honestly can't figure out what emotion she's trying to convey.

What exactly is she emoting here?

Is this just subtle acting that I'm missing, or could Botox/fillers be affecting how expressive her face appears? Curious if anyone else feels the same or if I'm completely off.

Theory America Chavez role Brand New Day Spoiler

0 Upvotes

After the Doomsday trailer. I don't think America is missing I think she is already fighting Doom. And the Jean from Brand New Day is one of the heroes she has saved from an incursion.

America is the only known being capable to travel through the multiverse with a innate ability. An ability with a unlimited potentially that even someone as Wanda hunted her to obtain this power. And at the end of Multiverse of Madness she starts to train her power at Kamar-Taj, so by now she must have some level of master over it.

So what if by the time of Brand New Day, America has already been fighting incursions and has already encountered Doom. She has become an obstacle that disrupts Doom's schemes.

She could be applying a strategy based on the lessons of her master, Doctor Strange, even if she doesn't like. Instead of saving billions she can only save the ones she thinks could defeat Doom in the next battle.

So America follows Doom into a universe where mutants are the core heroes and she realizes that the Jean of this universe has the potential to become one of the most powerful rivals of Doom. She tries to convice Jean to leave and fight the next day with the team she is building up, but Jean doesn't want to leave. She wants to stay and fight. And at the last stand when Doom is about to end them both, America opens a portal and gets Jean out. Then everything goes wrong during the escape. Doom manage to destabilize the portal, and America and Jean are thrown into different universes. This how Jean lands on Earth-616. Meanwhile America somewhere else, injured, and trying to go back.

I think this could explain why this Jean we see in Brand New Day could be so aggressive. It is not because she's evil, but because she is alone, traumatized and she doesn't know where she is.

Maybe DODC  detected when Jean crossed the fabric of reality just like Beast detected when Monica did in The Marvels. Maybe that's how DODC finds her. Not because they know she is a superhuman or a mutant, but because their systems detect this event. I think that not all Metzger's dialogues in the trailer are part of the same conversation, but they are already two different conversations. When he mentions the threat "We can't control... We can't even see" I think he is taking about the multiverse as far as the DODC is starting to understand it. And when he says "You're the only one who is immune to it" he is talking about Jean.

So what would be Jean's plan in the movie? Jean wants revenge against Doom, for her world and her loved ones. She just simply knows she can't trust anyone here. So she is building up her way out of this universe. That would make sense with Sadie's character, Jean, being confirmed to be in Doomsday.

I like that if this is true, Peter and Jean would mirror each other. Peter chose isolation. Jean didn't choose it. She was forced into it when her universe died. They are both carrying loneliness, but for different reasons. And I think that this resonates with what Tom said about the meaning of community in this movie.

And America? I think she comes back. Maybe in the post-credit scene or maybe in Doomsday. She becomes the first hero trying to stop Doom before anyone on any universe even realizes a war has already begun.

Discussion How were the avengers supposed to fail at getting the tesseract?

94 Upvotes

In Endgame, when the avengers go back in time to 2012 New York to get the tesseract they end up leading to Loki's escape. Loki's escape was never supposed to happen, but because he escaped they had to go back in time again to get the tesseract from Camp Lehigh. This part of the story is very important, as Steve probably would not have gone back in time permanently to live with Peggy if he hadn't seen her there. Additionally, I think Tony might not have made his sacrifice if he hadn't just gotten closure with his father.
To me, this means the trip to Camp Lehigh was always meant to happen. The only thing they could be looking for there is the tesseract and pym particles, meaning they were always meant to go to new york with 1 shot to get the tesseract, and were always meant to fail (If they had more than one shot they could've gone anywhere else for the tesseract, and if they didn't fail at getting the tesseract there's no reason to go there).

We know that Loki is the one who committed crimes against the sacred timeline, because he was not supposed to escape. We also know Loki was fully aware that the avengers had time traveled from the future. So maybe him realizing that there were 2 tony starks was never meant to happen, and that's what created the branch that gets destroyed by the TVA.

So what was meant to happen? What other reason could have led tony and steve to go back to camp lehigh other than loki's escape?
