ego the living planet is not an elder if the universe
I'm of the same opinion but it's like they granted him membership or something. He obviously thinks he is though, try explaining it to him

Heard it was sick, will watch it soon smiley
Was worth it
The movie is like the end of an era, if you started watching the X-men franchise back when it started, you can't watch this without tearing up

Very fitting

Logan was so sad, I can't deal. Maybe later I'll be able to process it but right now all I have is sadness

Is the Watcher an elder?
Have seen that guy in popular comic run don't know these guys.
No he's not, Uatu is just one out of an alien species that "watch" all the corners of the universe, Uatu is just the one in charge of earth and this solar sytem
The Elders usually appear in the comics that involve cosmic heroes like Captain Marvel, Nova, Silver Surfer, Quasar or when one of them decides to visit Earth for one thing, like when Runner came to find the fastest beings alive, or when they decide to use the heroes on earth that are busy minding their own business- usually Grandmaster, he loves using the Avengers for games, see Contest of Champions


The Elders are the oldest surviving individuals of each of the first sentient races of the universe that attained immortality through extreme obsession: they each have this hobby that they pursue to all ends for all eternity because they are immortal and if they stop then they will die, the hobby keeps them alive literally, or some say that they keep the hobby - after all the galaxy needs people that are the best at what they do doesn't it?

Some of the elders are pretty bland and boring, like Obliterator who just likes to destroy things and he's so simple to defeat, I mean if someone has spent millenia destroying things, at least he should be very good at it abi? Judicator, boring. Caregiver, boring. Gardener, boring.

Some are pretty cool though...Runner, Contemplator, Champion of the Universe, Trader, Collector, Grandmaster, all awesome. Grandmaster is like the greatest player/cheat in the universe, there's no game he doesn't play or bet on. He doesn't really care about morals, because it's all a game to him, this is the guy that cheated Death who has never forgiven him, this is the guy that can will the death of any being in existence or resurrect any being from death, this is the guy even the other Elders fear because they are never sure if he's just using them for one of his games. Grandmaster is a badass

Also it appears Ego is also an Elder, which is interesting because he's supposed to appear in Guardians of the Galaxy. Maybe we'll see other elders in that movie too. I love it when Marvel goes cosmic, things get very interesting indeed
TV/MoviesRe: Marvel Cinematic Universe by moneyallowed(m): 10:43am On Mar 09, 2017
Elders of the Universe - Grandmaster and The Collector.

Any guesses as to which other elders they might introduce? The Gardener? Astronomer? Trader?

TV/MoviesRe: Marvel Cinematic Universe by moneyallowed(m): 10:40am On Mar 09, 2017
Left to Right- Hela, Thor, Valkyrie

TV/MoviesRe: Marvel Cinematic Universe by moneyallowed(m): 10:35am On Mar 09, 2017
New images from Thor Ragnarok

So they've basically confirmed Thor loses his hammer at some point, and they're definite Planet Hulk storylines in this movie with the gladiator setup

Can't believe I missed this, I came late to the trailers and it certainly wasn't the last trailer before Logan, unless they didn't show it in my area... I wish I had known about the lack of the after credit scene, na so 0059 reach for the morning of March 1st and we no see anything except the 15000 workers PSA placard.
I heard it wasn't shown in all theaters that Logan was released, probably why they released it online. BTW how was Logan?

Saw Logan today. Best film in the x-men series so far. A fitting send off for Hugh Jackman.

I was a bit skeptical about the new wolverine being female but this little girl, whatever her name is, won me over in mere minutes. Fantastic performance. I would even go as far as to say she outshined Jackman.

Lots of blood and gore though, definitely not a film for the feeble minded
Awesome, can't wait. What's up with Silverbird cinemas? They're showing it yet

redrobin:
lock jaw us a giant dog, no way they can pull that off
Lol why not? It's perfectly obvious that they'll use CGI for him, just like they did for Rocket Racoon, and Inhumans is going to have a big budget, a lot of which will be spent on special effects

Or maybe you mean you hope they won't pull it off, in which case you're in the wrong place

if there is one thing i like and respect about MCU is their niche for selecting the right actors/actresses....unlike "you know who" wink wink
You can say that again, casting has been top notch
TV/MoviesRe: Marvel Cinematic Universe by moneyallowed(m): 9:22am On Mar 02, 2017
The Boltagons and the Queen. Next up Karnak, Triton, Crystal, Gorgon and Lockjaw. Well they don't really need to cast a dog, they'll probably "rocket" him

It's official! We have our Black Bolt!

“Anson loves the challenge of playing a character who will only communicate silently,” said Loeb, Head of Marvel Television. “His enthusiasm mixed with his imposing, almost regal persona made it easy to see why he is our Black Bolt.”
Added Buck, “Black Bolt is a character whose deep complexity must be conveyed without uttering a single word, and I’m very excited to have Anson on board to bring him to life.”


This guy looks so much like Black Bolt in the comics, still can't believe we're getting this series/movie this year

The lmds arc was excellent, I never expected it to trump the ghost rider arc, looking forward to the agents of hydra arc with my boy Grant ward returning.



They better renew this show again. #Agents of shield.
It's very unlikely that the show will get renewed but hey at least it's ending on a high

By the way, where is Ghost rider and his now supernatural Uncle?
They've gone back to hell I guess cheesy

Marvel have cast GoT Ramsay Bolton as Maximus the Mad of the Inhuman royal family. Perfect casting!

Can't wait to see who we get Black Bolt, Medusa and Karnak

I walked head first into that namor betrayal Line cheesy.
That "beef" led to atlantis destruction. You can't say his not justified no matter how terrible.
So they trade only when it is in their favour to do so,something like this cure for cancer is probably a state guarded secret sef,And this isn't some defenseless state. Still not cool and all in line with the action Namor would take if he ruled wakanda.
Atlantis destruction wasn't T'challa's fault though , Shuri was in charge at the time. Had BP been ruling then it wouldn't have happened, and Namor started the whole cycle of war and escalated it, long before the Phoenix Force got involved, so he can't even shift that blame.

Yeah the cancer stuff isn't shared with outsiders, they think it's in their interest that the rest of the world doesn't know how far ahead they are in terms of technology. I don't think Namor would have ruled Wakanda the same way though, he's not that kind of king. He'd rather make Wakanda colonize the rest of the world and become the major superpower on the planet, like the opposite of what BP does
TV/MoviesRe: Marvel Cinematic Universe by moneyallowed(m): 8:15pm On Feb 18, 2017
SIRcumalot:
Still with my devil's advocate cape on.
Wakanda isolationist policy never really sat well with me considering it location (why Is that by the way ?)
it comes across as "my people only type thing"not too different from what a certain sub-mariner would do,who some would say, is justified in his disdain for humanity considering how we treat his domain.
I don't think Namor takes Thanos deal.


Here I was thinking the marvel verse reboots after avengers 3. It would be nice to see what Ejiofor's character would become.
The short answer to your question is Vibranium. They were unlucky enough to have a mineral that the whole world would kill for, and lucky enough that the mineral could solve all of their problems and make them self sufficient. Thanks to Vibranium they're the most technologically advanced nation, they can cure diseases no one else can(eg Cancer), so they don't need anyone. Well they trade and send some people out from time to time to learn of the outside world but that's it. I think the early Black Panthers adopted the policy, and they've been proven right, all the foreigners have come to steal and conquer, even their African neighbors are jealous of them and would love to invade

Namor would take the deal, in the comics when Thanos invaded Earth, it was Namor that told Proxima Midnight why and how to attack Wakanda, all because of beef with T'challa and Shuri

Ejiofor would make a great villain, I can even understand his reasoning, he's kinda right, earth does have too many sorcerers. I prefer his motivation in the movie to the comics where he tried to kill the Ancient One because he wanted to be Sorcerer Supreme

To play a bit of devils advocate here.He kind of is the only one looking for his own people,also His royalty,arrogance and self-entitlement is basically inbred for most royal fictional character,Thor is one and if I know enough about the black panther I would find the same trait.

I like that they mixed the magic with Martial arts very well.
I am not sure we'll get strange 2 though,with so much attention for Avengers 3.
Look I get it man, he's a king so he has to be a douche too. The only problem with that theory is that he's not the only king around, look at T'challa, that's how royalty is supposed to behave. Black Bolt, king, good behavior. Even Thor is not as bad as Namor. This is someone that will betray you if he thinks it's to his advantage. How is that different from someone like Loki who everyone calls a villain? Namor sides with Magneto and Dr Doom with the same frequency that he sides with Avengers or X-men. And I've noticed that he only sides with humans when they're fighting one another; he took the X-men's side in their fight against the Avengers, US when they fought with Hitler. He hates human beings, the only thing he honors is power, so anyone that beats him has his respect. He doesn't believe in morality, he does what he has to do, end justifies the means type of guy. If Thanos invaded Earth and offered to leave Atlantis alone, Namor will sit back and watch Earth burn

There are 3 Untitled movies in phase 3 schedule, I'm willing to bet that one of them is Doctor Strange 2

Guys Logan is being seriously hyped, the reviews I've read are calling it the best ever X-men movie! Can't wait for march
