Im hoping The Marvels is just another term for The Ultimates (The 616 ones)
Heh, I thought “Avengers: TNG” was how you were referring to Young Avengers. For the main team, I don’t see Spider-Man as the “elder statesman” role - I’m assuming the next iteration of the team is going to be built around Captain America and War Machine, probably with Dr. Strange and maybe Scott Lang and/or Shang-Chi in the mix, which makes Spider-Man the kid on the team, not the voice of experience. I think they might go with that team for the Avengers movies, and use the Young Avengers as a cross-over vehicle for their TV shows. So far, they’ve introduced at least one canonical Young Avenger character per live TV show - Kate in Hawkeye, Kid Loki in Loki, Eli Bradley in Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Wiccan and Speed in WandaVision. A Young Avengers show seems like an obvious way to cross over these shows, and having the shows build to a crossover show seems like the obvious (forgive me) endgame here.
(I’m probably wrong about Ms. Marvel being on the team, assuming they’re following the comics - I’d confused her time in Champions with a Young Avengers book. She’s never been a Young Avenger.)
Laura said that they were “very far away”. So where exactly are the Bartons? Canada? Wakanda? Space?
I thought Colorado or wherever their farm was-though how Clint managed to keep it during the Blip is a good question. I’m also amused that Yelena has adopted “falling out of a window backwards” as her trademark.
I think it was upstate New York.
Hmm. On the Marvel wiki it’s “located in Waverly, Iowa” , while in the MCU it’s an “unknown isolated location with the continental United States of America”.
I hadn’t thought about it that way. Yeah, if Kid Loki winds up in the Sacred Timeline, Eli Bradley inherits at least some of his grandfather’s super-soldier abilities, and Wiccan and Speed are resurrected as teens, then they’re on track for a Young Avengers. Plus we’re getting an Ironheart series (I don’t think she was a YA, but she’d slot in for Iron Lad), and Cassie Lang might still wind up with a Pym Particle suit. Between She-Hulk and Secret Invasion, we might even get an MCU version of Hulkling.
Being from, and still in, Iowa, I’m not sure how to take that? I guess nothing happens here so I’m safe so maybe that’s good?
You mean…besides ghosts coming out of cornfields??
If you build it, they will…Assemble?
I don’t get that reference.
Funny on building it to assemble!
Seems more Avengers First Class than Teen Avengers (which sounds too Saturday morning cartoon for my tastes). Probably have Sam Wilson / Captain America II as the elder statesman.
Banner / Credible Hulk will probably appear time to time to consult.
Not sure about Spider Man because of the deal with Sony.
Dr Strange, Wong, Shang Chi and Katy will probably be their own Masters of the Mystics Arts sort of thing.
You’ll also have The Marvels under Captain Marvel.
Not a spoiler because it’s just my WAG. But is anyone going to be surprised when Valentina (Julia Lous Dreyfus) shows up in the after credits of the last episode to get the remains of her apartment back from her niece, Kate Bishop?
My wife, kids, and I are talking about a potential evil-avengers show/movie. I call them “The Revengers” kind of a joke, but we think it would be a good name.
I’ll spoiler-box who we think wold be in it based off the Marvel movies we’ve seen. It only spoils the movies and shows up to Hawkeye:
Natasha’s sister
Evil Captain America
Shang-chi’s sister? (my kids seem to remember an “evil reveal” on this)
Is there anyone else we’ve seen as a possible recruitment for this? We assume that is what Elaine-from-Seinfeld is recruiting for.
This is accurate. I’d guess Abomination and (hopefully) Mordo. Maybe White Vision? And I’d like Moonstone from the comics (needs more female supervillains).
After the Widow movie, I was kind of meh on Yelena - but this episode sold me on the character. I’m really disappointed that there’s only one more episode.
(I’m conflicted on Kingpin. OTOH, I liked the character in the Daredevil shows. On the other, I’m rewatching the MCU with someone who has never seen them and made the decision to skip the netflix shows. Now, I can’t do that. & if you’re going to watch DD, you may as well watch Jessica Jones and Luke Cage and there’s a lot of questionable quality in there.)
I heard DD was good
My problem with Kingpin in a universe where Hawkeye is at worst wary of him is the same as in the comics where old guys like Doc Ock and Vulture would give Spidey a hard time…it just really stretched things. And yes, I know it was revealed that Spidey held back…but still. Dude dodges lasers.
So why is Hawkeye wary/afraid of Kingpin. He’s shown a willingness to kill to protect himself and his family. And Fisk doesn’t keep a low profile. He’s just a fat man who apparently isn’t even as adept as his comic-book counterpart who wiped the floor with DD.
Nitpick: Sam is Captain America III. John Walker was Captain America II.
It’s not his combat that’s scary. It’s his planning and money. (Though I wouldn’t mind Netflix Bullseye showing up to fight Hawkeye).
I agree, but what I like most about this MCU Hawkeye, and part of what puts him on another level vs neophyte heroes. …is his willingness to cut through the bullshit.
Enh…I guess Barton is being smart. He’s just one guy and he has a family to protect. Now if Natasha were alive??? Not even Kingpin (who is seven different shades of stupid sometimes)* would mess with them.
- See Peter Parker beating the shit out of him after Aunt May was shot.
