Marvel doesn't need an Elseword b/c their main universe is already set-up to explore a variety of different stories as is. No need to copy the guys that screwed up Batman v Superman and Justice League.

Raphael De La Ghetto Nah I think that would be an amazing thing if they did for the same reasons that John likes the idea.

The two kittens Entertainment inc He's wrong... #1 DC is only exploring this b/c their main universe is a shit show and nobody cares about the current versions of their characters. #2 Contrary to popular belief, the MCU does not overly constrain their directors as evidenced by films like Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Thor Ragnorak. #3, John mentioned "standalone movies". The MCU is filled with standalone movies. All of the universe building stuff is almost always background Easter eggs, organically woven cameos, or post credit scenes. They don't need an Elseworld to tell great stories b/c they're already doing that.

Raphael De La Ghetto but those movies aren’t great at least in my opinion they are ok at best. Going to else world stories and holing nothing back on the dark and gritty stuff that’s what’s going to be good u know because most comics are dark.

Going to else world stories and holing nothing back on the dark and gritty stuff that’s what’s going to be good u know it will be a really good way to tell the stories that they can’t show on the big screen in the and can’t mesh in to the mcu because most comics are dark. And yes The Netflix shows are dark but shows go on too long or get canceled and there budgets are limited, so elseworld movies are the best way to go.

The two kittens Entertainment inc They're great to me... & the "dark and gritty" Marvel stories are being told on Netflix. Another reason they don't need an "Elseworld".

Raphael De La Ghetto yes The Netflix shows are dark but shows go on too long or get canceled and there budgets are limited and can’t make them come to life that good, so elseworld movies are the best way to go.

Raphael De La Ghetto and not everyone likes to watch shows so that’s also another reason why they should make elseword movies.

Lol what's left of it that is. Spiderman will eventually go back to Sony. (Who are doing a great job with their own universe). Half of the old mcu characters are pretty much done after A4. And they're starting off their new face of their existing universe with Captain marvel..... who's already complete trash. And no one gives a shit about. So many great stories/opportunities were wasted thanks to the "team up film" cycle. The dceu started off bad for obvious reasons, and now they're heading in the right direction. And having an else world selection of films does give audiences (and even studios) more freedom to explore unknown characters and bring great stories to the big screen. Without messing with their current universe. Either way, the MCU is obviously not gonna take that route.....but they'll eventually regret not taking it.

The two kittens Entertainment inc lol, The main reason Elseworld stories even exist is to explore alternate versions of existing characters. The MCU doesn't need to do that b/c people love the current versions of their characters. Any good alternate version is best utilized in universe, once the actor playing said character decides to step down. If we're talking about characters that haven't been introduced yet, there's still no need for an Elseworld since Marvel has consistently and competently introduced new characters in self contained stories that are still part of the greater universe.

Raphael De La Ghetto dude yes I know,u can have both and yeah alternate versions of characters idk about u but that sounds awesome and shit gets me excited just think of the possibilities it’s endless anything could happen and that’s what I like about the idea.
The two kittens Entertainment inc15 hours ago
Raphael De La Ghetto and yes when the characters step down they can replace them and be different but that is just one, only one of endless other versions of the characters so they can’t do to much with that and of corse it has to continue going. The beautiful thing about else world is u can tell a story very very different from the current one and when it’s over it’s over and u can then have a different story with the same character in a different setting, and that is awesome.

Pegasus 1127 yeah I what ur trying to say and I agree with u on the elseword stuff , but idk They didn’t make the best choices with there universe but they are the most successful so u got to give em a point for that although they are overrated I liked almost of them but most of them are just ok movies

The two kittens Entertainment inc That's the thing. After Infinity War, the MCU is already set up to do anything. The only reason Warner Bros is pushing the "else-world" concept is because they screwed up the main universe and they don't want the stench of the DCEU on all of their upcoming projects.

But the MCU doesn’t allow for a ton of variety in terms of style and tone. Great films like Logan or Deadpool would have NEVER been made if they were in the MCU. It’s also can be potentially limiting in terms of story possibilities. A director or writer might have a fantastic idea for a story but can’t do it because it could contradict something from another film. The MCU restricts all of their films to fit within a confined space. There’s too much pre determined lore and canon. Filmmakers aren’t giving the luxury to start fresh. Look at something like Ant-Man. Edgar Wright left because his ideas weren’t “consistent” with the MCU. It still turned out pretty good, but cmon you can’t deny that Wright’s version would have turned out WAY better.
