Not excited for Homecoming at all.

You finally saw Vol 2 or something? I think it might be my favorite MCU movie.

I don't know what to think about Spiderman. I get the feeling they just turned him into Iron Man 2.0. Maybe it was by Sony's request. Maybe Feige wanted it. I don't know. I do know that ever since they stole Ganke from Miles' story they've been stepping in the wrong direction with me.

Damn, that's a badass lineup. At first I was like "Dude, wrong publisher! That's a DC character!" then I realized that Bucky and Cap were there, and I laughed. Then I noticed Logan, and I feel like I really need to see this story told now.

It might make a better movie than a show. I dont see netflix expanding past the defenders and budget is always gonna be a concern.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. There's been a lot of talk about all different types of crossovers happening in the MCU, but they rarely come to fruition. Especially the more offbeat ones like Ghost Rider and Punisher teaming up. Besides, I think they're saving Thunderbolts for the movies. Potential Masters of Evil storyline with Zemo down the line.

Unfortunately I saw another trailer for Homecoming tonight before Wonder Woman. Man, this might be the second time I've said this about an MCU movie but this thing looks STUPID! I said the same thing about the first Gaurdians movie and it turned out pretty good so we'll have to see if my initial impression is correct this time about Homecoming.

Netflix doesn't have the cash granted AoS did the work already so maybe Netflix can copy the FX and CGI from Ghost Rider.

But I still don't think their team would be called Thunderbolts.

It is directed by Jon Watts who made that terrible vacation movie a couple years ago. :P

But yeah, as much as I do want Homecoming to succeed I get what you're coming from. It seems Marvel Studios and Sony are trying so hard to make this movie hip, and funny, and obviously connected to the MCU by having Iron Man be a mentor to Spider-Man that they kind of missed the mark. None of these are the reasons why we wanted Spider-Man at Marvel in the first place. It's not all bad though. Tom Holland was great in Civil War capturing all aspects of Peter Parker (the humor in the suit and the endearing charm of him outside of it), the high school angle has a lot of potential for new stories, Michael Keaton as The Vulture is awesomeness waiting to happen. And who knows? Maybe Iron Man doesn't play that big of a role and they're just showing him a lot in the ads for marketing purposes.

Actually that's wrong. Jon Watts only directorial feature so far is an indie-film called Cop Car, which was pretty good.

However, the initial writers of the film were the writers of that Vacation movie, but the script has since been re-written by 4 other people, so I don't think it's fair to judge it based just on that.

Crap, my mistake. I knew someone involved with Homecoming played a part in creating that Vacation movie. You're right that we shouldn't dismiss or lose faith in the movie because those writers are on the project, but I just thought it was worth noting since multiple users keep saying how dumb and corny the trailers are making it look.

TWS is my personal favorite.

Its unlikely we'll see the Netflix characters show up with anyone else in the MCU. I mean, the Defenders are aimed at a totally different audience, and while you could tell a story with, say, Daredevil and Spider-Man or Ghost Rider and Punisher and find a balance between the two tones, the company has to look at more than just the creative end of things.

Let's say they make a Thunderbolts show or movie with Punisher (or whoever) in it. What are kids going to do when they see this guy in action? They'll want to see more of him. Which will lead them to Netflix.....and immediately afterwards, Disney will be bombarded with angry calls from parents who let their kids watch a Marvel show on Netflix, only to realize it's for mature audiences and their kids are now having nightmares and/or trying to bash people's heads onto fence posts. Disney does not want that kind of bad press. And we know idiot parents will let their kids watch the Netflix shows, since they also brought their kids to see Logan and Deadpool despite the R-rating and the mountain of social media marketing designed to explicitly tell people those films weren't for kids despite the spandex and super powers.

Defenders are always going to be kept separate from the rest of the MCU. But I dont see much reason why some of the other tv characters (Coulson, Quake, the Inhumans, etc) couldn't find their way into a movie appearance. Those things might have to wait for contracts to expire, or perhaps not, but it's much more likely we'll see Quake and Coulson help out Fury than it is Daredevil will team up with Captain America.

[Flash Gordon]

I mean I still really REALLY want a Daredevil/Spider-Man flick or episode. Hopefully Daredevil gets away from its serialized format and starts doing stand alone episodes more often.
