Re: Because Beer Can Make You Look Pregnant
I think I'd agree with that ranking; with Iron Man we were just getting started with the Avengers Initiative and Phase 1; they needed something solid to lay the groundwork. It's funny to read how many writers turned down the chance to work on the script.
I heard about Hill showing up again and Sky told me about Sitwell appearing in an episode ( or a few?) beforehand, but didn't know Fury himself would be there again. I mean it would make sense, considering the events of the movie, but it's always great to have big names on screen.
Dr Strange is a story I'm not awfully familiar with but I know of it; it's quite sad what he goes through in his life, so I'd like to see how that ties in with the Avengers especially; as in when he comes in contact with the group; what stage of life is he in?
Bucky's last scene in the movie was hilarious; how he just tosses Cap to the side and walks away. Laughed. Yep, seeing his character's subtle changes and doubts means we'll definitely see him on the good side in Cap 3; or at least on the fences of good and neutral to start with. Possibly Avengers 3 too.
I read about the connections between Galaxy and Avengers 3. I thought I read wrong about it tying in with no.3 instead of 2

but yeah; it's exactly as you said.
Anime-wise, I finished Kill la Kill a week or so ago, but I've not seen anything since. I have a bunch of stuff I'll be watching these coming weeks; I won't be downloading anything until then. What's Dragon Collection?
The Incredible Hulk was great quality too, but everything about the movie somehow didn't justify it at all. Superhero/Comics movies weren't really doing that great, I think Blade was the first movie to cross the barriers and actually became succesful, followed by X-Men (somewhat) and the Spider-Man movies, but after those a lot of other superheroes tended to fail, like the Fantastic Four, Punisher, Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3, I think people were just afraid. But the first Iron Man definitely changed and broadened the genre in the movie business. I thank Favreau for doing it too, although he messed up with 2.
I think this is the first time Hill is making an appearance though? Not sure now. And Sitwell appeared in one episode, two weeks ago, he's a pretty forgettable character for everyone, since he appeared in Thor, The Avenger, Item 47, The Consultant and Cap 2. Titus Welliver (google him, you know him) starred in the Item 47 short too and he got into AoS, but didn't survive the Shield/Hydra shift. A bunch of important people boarded the bus (that's how their massive plane is called) but he had to go because of urgent business at the Lemuniar Star. At the end of the episode there were all kinds of suspicions and during the start of the episode of last week is where The Winter Soldier took place and everything changed. It's fun to see actual actors tie-in with the series, but what I don't like is that other actors, for example RDJ, Evans, Ruffalo or whoever. They don't do the show because they are too expensive. Which I find total bullshit, sure, Smulders is
still a television actress, Alexander is not
that known and Jackson is cheap as fuck and does everything he gets his hands on. But I would love to see an actual superhero from the movies on the show, Evans loves being Cap, so why does't he just do the gig for cheap or whatever.
Stupid actors and their money.
I'm not that familiar with Strange either, I saw the '07 animated movie and I've seen him appear a bunch of times in some comics, but not that awfully familiar with him. But he's a nice character, he's got a lot of potential for a movie too. I'm rather curious.
I thought he'd stick around, but yeah, he was still bad at that point. It was fun seeing him in the museum and remembering everything again in the end, The Winter Soldier is an awesome character, I'd love to see him again.
Any ideas what else they want to do? Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man are a definite fact, there's a bunch of others showing up in the Avengers/Guardians movies. Doctor Strange, Thor 3 and Captain America 3 are in progress (all part of Phase 3) and they've got shows planned for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage leading up to a Defenders series. Big Hero 6 is also coming this December, although it's animated, it's based on Marvel superheroes group. It's being animated by Disney btw.
The Runaways was a project they were working on, but they shelved that in favor for Avengers (wise choice), but it might show up for the third phase too
Rumors about a Loki movie are still going around. But now there's actual (official) talk about a Black Widow movie, which is a pretty interesting character in the comics. Hulk is always being talked about. I'm assuming the Wasp is going to show up with both Ant-Man in some way and Black Panther seems like a good option, Evans wants to be Captain forever. RDJ is probably not going to be Iron Man for long, Ruffalo is just starting and I have no idea what Hemsworth wants to do. So a shift in the Avengers team is necessary. Ant-Man is definitely joining them and the Guardians are likely to team-up for the third one. But they planned movies all the way until 2028, there has to be a Second Avengers team.
Fury is sticking around, Jackson is not letting that role go. Ms. Marvel, Blade and the Inhumans are getting movies too, if I'm right this was confirmed too, although no date planned.
Anyone you want to see?
There's been a few "one-shots" (shorts) related to the movies too, two about Coulson, one about Peggy Carter (Cap 1 love-interest). One dealing with the after-math of Avengers and one about Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) of Iron Man 3. Have you seen those too, pretty fun.
Have you heard about Nanatsu getting an anime adaptation? There's not much known at this point, but I'm going for a Winter/Spring release.
Probably ends up as a cour anime.
Dragon Collection is a kiddy anime. I found out about the manga last week, which features different characters and story than the new anime.
The manga is more a regular shounen, the anime is only 10 minutes per episode, it's about kids going to a different world and use cards (with dragons) to fight other players. Typical stuff, you know. But I love this kind of stuff!

Although, the manga is a lot more enjoyable so far, it's not for little kids. More for big little kids.
