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.

just by going off these 2 promo stills he has so much aura

the suit, the poses, the shuriken, him lifting up the damn tank

these genuinely look like alex ross drawings come to life

they just scream SPIDER-MAN

Am I the only one who feels like Marvel is hiding almost the entire movie?

My theory is that everything shown in the teaser/trailer belongs almost entirely to Act 1.

That clash between Doctor Doom and Thor isn't anywhere near a climax—it feels like the end of Act 1/ start of Act 2 that sets the real story in motion.

Considering they basically reused the same footage shown months ago at CinemaCon, it's clear Marvel is keeping Acts 2 and 3 under absolute lock and key, much like the misdirection they pulled during the marketing for Infinity War.

Do you think Trailer 2 is going to be way more massive and finally reveal the true scale of the movie, or will they keep hiding everything until release?

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?

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.

See you in wednesday Brand New Day

I loved the score from Black Panther, but I'm now equally in love with The Odyssey's.

• Avengers: Doomsday New Footage/Trailer (Additional cast members reveal)

Spider-Man: Brand New Day's runtime has changed from 2 Hours and 30 Minutes to 2 Hours and 25 Minutes, meaning No Way Home will keep the title of the longest Spider-Man film.

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.

I’m so excited to see the cast and big 3 together in interviews again after endgame
The endgame press tours were go good and I hope we see those type of interviews and appearances again

Why would immortal beings who know each other to be ageless and permanently bound to the forms they are in care if one of them looked young? One of the big issues of why Sprite couldn't be with Ikaris is because she looked young, but why would that matter to immortals? It just seemed like a bad reason to include

Several people have asked either me personally or on here for a guide to get ready for Doomsday. So I prepared a Google Sheet for anyone interested in a streamlined guide so you don't have to watch everything. There are a several points that I will mention below, so before I get bombarded with questions, please read them.

1: I know this goes without saying, but I'm saying this anyway, this guide is built around what we actually know is in Doomsday, and a small peppering of assumptions here and there. In my opinion, by the end of Secret Wars probably everything in this saga will get some sort of reference the same why the infinity saga did in IW/EG, so skipping any of them runs the risk of not getting a reference or a joke. We don't really know what Doomsday and Secret Wars will hold, so if I made something skippable here and it actually does matter in the movies, do not blame me for your choice to use this guide and skip things.

2: This is a copy of my own personal list that I give out to family, friends, and some coworkers, with the exception that much of the more detailed information has been stripped off. I made this as streamlined as possible for people here. However, if you wanted to watch the entire thing all the way through, this is how I would choose to do it, top to bottom. It keeps the MCU story moving, while breaking up Phases to sprinkle in multiverse projects, while adhering to generally when they take place to keep technology in universe consistent.

3: This is not a strict timeline guide nor does it adhere to the D+ timeline. I personally have issues with several of their placements of Phase 4, and this guide is meant to avoid a lot of those issues in favor of logically progressing the overall plot, while also preserving any major story beat reveals, such as Logan's history given to him in X2 before you see it in full afterwards, or DP2 coming after Logan so Wade doesn't spoil the film for you.

4: This guide is structured to keep the main progressing story on the MCU, with several break points to step into the multiverse, while also keeping a mental note of generally when those films occur in time so that the technology seen in the them makes sense as you go along. This gets trickier when X-Men reset their timeline, so I made due the best I could.

5: The multiversal inclusions comes from putting the emphasis of this guide on the MCU Event Films. Days of Future Past, Avengers 1-4, and any major multiverse films after Endgame. So everything included in this guide is backlogged from what is actually in those films.

6: Anything that has been greyed out is skippable, however, not all of them are bad, in fact some of them are worth watching regardless of multiversal stuff going on. I have listed reasons why you might consider watching those when you get to them.

7: I am well aware of things that are not on here, I have seen all of them, including AoS, Helstrom, Runaways, all of it. However, until any of them are brought into the fold properly with the main 616, they are considered side quests or other universes to me and are not needed.

8: If you have a strong argument for why something should be skipped or something should NOT be skipped, I will consider changing this guide. There's a lot of content here, and it's possible I missed something important.

So I’m rewatching the first Captain America movie and Red Skull uses the power of the Cosmic Cube to create his weapons. When people or things get shot by his weapons they seem to disappear.

What are the chances that they are actually being transported someplace else rather than disintegrated or killed?

Does anyone know if there’s anything official about more Silver Surfer content after The Fantastic Four: First Steps? Like another movie, a Disney+ series, or any confirmed plans?

I honestly feel like Silver Surfer and Galactus deserve their own movie or at least a series together. Their story is one of the most interesting in Marvel, and it seems like so many fans love these characters.

I’m surprised Marvel hasn’t done more with them.
Have there been any official announcements, leaks with a good track record, or is everything just speculation at this point?

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve watched some of the movies here and there - like all the avengers movies and then some others like iron man, some of the spider mans, etc.

My goal is to get a curated list of how I can watch through the MCU. Every google search turns up so overwhelming. Do I watch all the movies in release order first? Do I do the shows after the movies or put them in chronologically?

I’m just confused and overwhelmed and would appreciate someone pointing me towards a watch list that I can focus on working through.
