Feels like one of those stories where someone is pushed so far, they break bad. Wonder if [returning character] is a simulation to help her grieve. I dunno but it's fun.

She has a long history of being bad, it is very possible that she is about to turn Thanos level heel over the next phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 So help me out guys. I followed everything, but not a huge XMen guy. Does the Quicksilver character have a totally different backstory than the Quicksilver in Ultron? I assume so, I just didn’t know how they handled that...

The backstory for Peter is that he mostly grew up in the USA, became a thief because he could, in 1973 they enlisted him to help break Magneto out of prison, and he became involved with the X-men after that. He eventually realized that Magneto was his father, met him in Egypt, but for some reason no one understands he never told Magneto that over 2 movies. He is shown with a younger sister dressed in red at the end of DOFP, but apparently there was an edit where he had a similar aged sister that didn’t make the screen. He never was given a twin in that, although the younger sister was implied to be her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 First mutant in the MCU is Pietro. Didn't expect that. If there is a "quicksilver speed" scene and they don't do the Fox treatment of it, i will be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth05 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 so what did everything think of Wandavision overall? I thought it was good, just played it too safe. I expected that so no biggie but I will say the Evan Peters troll job was annoying. Hyped us up for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think overall the series was solid, just left me feeling meh at the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit annoying because I really liked Evan Peters Quicksilver, honestly he was the best thing about the last 3 or so X-men movies. they didn't really address her being a nexus being so we really can't shut the door on it I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they had been more aggressive in expanding the universe, kind of a big swing to kick off phase 4 with a bang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, They are probably casting the Mutants in the background right now and have a grand plan for it, so just gonna have to trust them that it will be better than a House of M type disruption 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were supposed to already have had Eternals out by this point, I can't remember if the original TV show schedule had something before this one but I think they did.

This is a great point and very may well be the reason this was so played so safe. Hopefully Falcon & WS is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've really taken advantage of the TV format and the extra time to give us the sort of character development we could never have gotten on the big screen. The 8 minute sessions with the therapist were excellent TV, but never would have worked in a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Thought first ep of F+WS was meh but 2nd episode was much better. Season is only 6 eps so it’ll move fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLessRob Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Both series have been solid, but I feel like I’m just watching them to watch them. After End Game my desire to watch any of the future Marvel products has substantially declined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After End Game my desire to watch any of the future Marvel products has substantially declined. So I think there is something interesting to this. There was an article a few months back about how we live in this generation of content being created just to create more content. Meaning.....they use one piece of content as a vehicle to push future content, and it's just an endless circle. The end of WandaVision basically set up "Secret Invasion" and the next Doctor Strange movie. I would assume F+WS does the same thing at some point. I get why they can be somewhat unfulfilling or seem sort of empty. Right now....I don't have an issue with it, I'm very entertained. But I would think at some point, I'll get tired of the circle.

I think a lot of that is just interest in comic format. These characters are at war forever with something, somewhere. Sometimes people just tire of it.
