Honestly I’d rather have them not be part of Secret Wars, and have the Fox heroes and perhaps OG Blade do something like Exiles, perhaps as a series instead of a movie. Would be a very fun way to have some other legacy characters pop in and out for guest shots.
@@OneProtagonist We didn’t get into the D&W discussion much Sunday but I felt like the ending was Marvel sending a little bit of a message that Deadpool won’t be a regular part of the MCU Sacred Timeline. He and his crew have their own little pocket dimension where they can live and have their own weird adventures separate from the main MCU and they don’t have to worry about continuity with a dozen other projects. And I’m *fine* with that.
@@fusionaddict And I would be very okay with that because it would allow wild stories like DP kills the Marvel Universe and allow Jackman and Dafne to return without interfering with the main MCU. However, I just feel like Marvel wants and needs to move away from the multiverse, and feel Secret Wars will be the final nail in the multiverse coffin. However to that however, they could make DP an exception, which I’d be absolutely fine with. It’s just hard to say. Marvel’s never been in a situation where they have to pivot this hard, so there’s not a lot of historical precedent to make an educated guess.
@@OneProtagonist I’ll slightly disagree and say this is actually the perfect way to justify the multiverse. One of the biggest issues Marvel is facing right now is that there is no real entry point for new fans. Because of the whole #ItsAllConnected thing, every movie has been saddled with having to carry the overall Avengers narrative and it causes the exact same issue the comics were having in the 90s and early aughts: crossover fatigue. Even Shang Chi, which mostly stood on its own, had Trevor Slattery inserted into the narrative as comic relief. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Trevor character. But I totally get that people who hadn’t seen Iron Man 3 might be like, “Who is this random British actor who’s talking about playing a terrorist?” Doctor Strange was maybe the last movie that really had a clean separation between itself and the rest of the franchise. Since then, the closest we’ve had is Moon Knight…and the fans complained that it didn’t feel like the MCU. That’s a problem. If you have a multiverse, that means you have the ability to tell your main Avengers arc stories, but also have some additional areas where filmmakers can play with continuity and characterization a bit more. Didn’t like She-Hulk? Don’t worry, it’s not canon to the main MCU timeline. Wesley Snipes caught the Blade bug and wants to do #4? Great! The Blade universe is over there. You want to “save the MCU,” this is how you do it; by making movies that can stand or fall on their own merits without having to fit into a particular alcove within the larger structure. It’s the one thing that has kept fans from going insane over these shitty Sony movies: the knowledge that this is in the Sony universe, not the MCU. It’s their canon, not our canon.
Instead of replacing Hugh with a new Logan, I'd much rather they make Laura wolverine like in the comics. I feel like recasting Logan even in the next few years will bring too many negative comparisons. I think it's a good idea to give the character a break when Hugh is really done.
I had thought of that too when putting this together (mainly because I love Laura and Dafne playing her), but I’m pretty divided on that. If we don’t get a new Logan, then we miss out on all of his amazing stories the Fox universe ignored or didn’t do justice. You could technically reboot X-Men without him, then introduce a new Wolvie years later, but then you also have to explain why Laura exists before we met the new Logan. Basically, Marvel is kinda screwed no matter which way they go. lol
@OneProtagonist I will admit another reason I'd like them to wait is I don't want Logan to be the "anchor" character of the new x-men (if anything, I think it should be Cyclops. He's gotten screwed in live action over the last 20 years.)
