While I was let down by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, I am intrigued to see where his story goes from here. I want to know if he is evil now or if his "third eye" persona is something that comes and goes. The whole incursion plot line seems to be setting up the future Avengers epics and has my interest. Mostly, I want to see more of Charlize Theron as Clea, I really do love that casting.
Since you're working with the multiverse, how about bringing back Captains Marvel with Captain Action??
ReplyDeleteThat was a great cover.
SPLIT! oh man, wrong one. That would’ve been a pretty cool team up with Dr Strange too :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I thought ITMOM was pretty good! Certainly better than the first film in a lot of respects. As for that third eye bit? Obviously, a consolidation of genuine mystic folklore with the comic book amulet known as the Eye of Agamotto.
ReplyDeleteDear Ross: are these supposed to be the Seven Deadlies from the Rock of Eternity?
ReplyDeleteNo, just random demons
ReplyDeleteI'm with Cary on DSITMOM; I quite enjoyed it, and I've watched it several times on Disney+. It holds up to re-watching, and Sam Raimi kept what could've been a much more convoluted tale, a fairly straightforward piece. (I just wish he'd been able to work in a cameo from his brother, Ted.)
ReplyDeleteI do wonder, though, if we might not get a team-up between the Captain Marvel to whom Anon@7:07 refers, and the Golden Age Human Torch. Both are androids who pass as human, so they'd have that much in common at least. (And didn't Red Tornado have a phase when he was doing that as well?)
And on the topic of yet another Captain Marvel, I do miss seeing the Danvers Twins. And, while I'm at it, the Strange Brothers, though admittedly it hasn't been that long since we've seen them. (And it's funny that I should be bringing that up on National Siblings Day.) Either pair would be fun to drop on the Planet of the Apes.
And how about... Mars Attacks Ego the Living Planet!
Captain Marvel as magic superhero would be a great Defender. Imagine his interactions with classic Hulk and Namor, and maybe Billy could have an awkward crush on Valkyrie.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Even better; Chuck's twin sister Nancy has a crush on Billy. And, out of jealousy over the way he gushes on about Val, she steals her brother's ring so she can sic a certain giant genie on her "competition"!
ReplyDeleteI can see it now. "Shazam & The Defenders vs. Shazzan In: GREEN-EYED MONSTERS!" Guest-starring Starfox of Titan.
@Anon1247: I'd buy that for $0.60! ;-)
