This may be true. It may be not. I am more than a little skeptical, to be honest. But again, I don't really care. But I do enjoy getting you cranked up about it.
No crank-yankin' happening here. I'm convinced. You guys aren't.

And you "really don't care," but here you are commenting on it. Again. Haha!

But none of this is actually confirmed at this point. It's all still rumors.
How about Galactus is something the Avengers fail to stop and the new unknown enhanced family of four emerges?

Hollywood has officially run out of ideas. Next will be more video games to film.

Street Fighter (redone)
Resident Evil (redone)
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy

Comic book movies will never beat the actual print comics.

No. It hasn't.

There are many reasons that movies are all about spectacle and "brands" (and hence remakes) these days, but lack of creativity is nowhere on the list. This has more to do with the complete take-over of television, the rise of the internet, and the corporatization of studios. I don't see the situation getting any better, at least in terms of theatrical releases.

At which point Hawkeye becomes the new Widow, i.e. somebody with no weaponry or tech (at least not like the comics) to compete with, but he's still whuppin' cosmic ass.

Oh, sorry. You meant Stretch and his sister and her brother and their friendly neighborhood Thing.

The next Dr. Strange movie looks like it’s going to have some traits of a horror movie init. I’m also excited to see that the Scarlet Witch will be a part of it. And they are already talking about Dr. Strange 3.

I watched the video he posted finally and it is inconclusive. The tweets don't mean much. The theater owners I might put weight into but none I found were on the record. I cannot find any credible source for it. A lot of dirt blogs like ComicBookNews or Bounding into Comics as well as YouTube videos and Blogger sites and 4Chan. Had it been talked about by credible sources, I would give it weight. I can't though. Instead it adds fuel to an already controversial film's fire.

You cannot compare comics to the movies based off of them. See Watchmen for a great example. It was entirely a direct shot by shot to the comic minus the isolated sailboat story. People complained that boring story was not in the already long Director's Cut.

Rhe other thing is movies are set to what is already introduced in the universe. The New Warriors could not be the cause of the Civil War issue because they didn't exist. It wouldn't make sense for them to be introduced just to be a patsy for some villain we don't know either.

Then you have the actors. As I've stated before, when I saw Ezra Miller in the trailers for Justice League,I didn't want him as Barry Allen, he was Wally West. The movie would confirm that. Why because of The Flash tv series and the comics. Barry isn't a jokster, Wally is.

See the problem here?

Now when it comes to the remakes you.mentioned for "Hollywood running out of ideas", both Street Fighter and Final Fantasy had horrible movies that hardly anyone wants to actually remember. I agree I wish I saw more new ideas in Hollywood, but right now, it simply isn't a possibility. Partially due to streaming services.

Not just the internet. People I know, too. A friend went and saw it and said the exact same thing about their IMAX showing. They couldn't pick seats from any of the "previously reserved" rows they wanted because they had already been purchased. They went in—empty seats. Nobody sat in them for the duration of the film.

Seriously...Captain Marvel and all those "meh" reviews. A billion dollars?

You want a "credible" source in a day when none of the major rags or theater chains want to **** off Disney? That's where street level folk come in.

Change that meme to "It's the Mouse so it's 100% legit."
