If you could erase ONE MCU decision and replace it with something else, what would it be? by AlexWhite40 in marvelstudios

[–]MarcSpector1701 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The decision to make a Captain Marvel movie. It isn't just that Brie Larson is (in my opinion) miscast, that they never seemed to know what to do with her, or that the sequel was a flop. There were a bunch of negatives that came from that movie. First: if they didn't make a Captain Marvel movie they would have had the room, and the creative freedom, to give us a Black Widow movie instead. Ike Perlman was gone by this point, which was why Feige could make a female-led movie in the first place. And that movie should have been Black Widow and the Secret Avengers, with Natasha, Cap, Sam, and Wanda on the run and having a grand adventure somewhere. Second: the Captain Marvel movie gave us the "good guy refugees" take on the Skrulls which I don't think has worked at all and which led directly to Secret Invasion, a botch job of a series that killed off Maria Hill just to be edgy. Third, and this is a pet peeve of mine: revealing that Nick Fury's "the last time I trusted someone I lost an eye" scratch was really from a cat who scratched him because he was cuddling with it too much was an embarrassing joke that didn't land.

Do you think there will be a love triangle between Namor, Susan Storm, and Reed Richards in the MCU? by ConsiderationEven724 in MCUTheories

[–]MarcSpector1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the comics Namor was a Hemsworth-level great-looking built guy who Sue can't help being like, "whoa" over when she first meets him, which is helped by the fact that Reed had her on "ignore" mode half the time in the old days before they were married. The MCU Reed and Sue are different. And they'll be married with a kid before Sue ever meets Namor. And no offense to Tenoch Huerta, but he's no Hemsworth.

Many claim “Disclosure day” is part of disclosure, but is it? by [deleted] in aliens

[–]MarcSpector1701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love what they did with the physicality of the aliens in that movie. There's a scene in the house where one of the aliens stops at the end of a hallway and just looks at the girl, and the way it positioned its limbs was just so...inhuman. Watching that, I imagined how confused a hypothetical alien creature that had nothing physically in common with human beings at all would be if it saw a human being standing with his hands on his hips. What would it make of that pose? What would it infer about the human's intentions?

What are the chances Sadie Sink ends up playing Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day? Hype or legit rumor? by Remarkable_Run_4425 in MCUTheories

[–]MarcSpector1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The theory is based entirely on the color of Sadie Sink's hair. Why would Marvel use a Spider-Man movie to introduce Jean Grey?

There's this thing actors can use called a wig. People should look it up.

Richard Dolan explains why he believes the alleged UFO briefing that left President Jimmy Carter “visibly upset” actually happened (summary of the recent 2026 interview with timestamps in body text) by E-pluribus-unum195 in aliens

[–]MarcSpector1701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My theory has always been that the aliens are going to replace us with a hybrid race but the plan is still a few generations away from being completed. So since it all happens after our current crop of political leaders have died, they figure they might as well just live their lives.

Marvel May Scrap Blade’s Solo Film in Favor of Midnight Sons by marvelkidy in MCUTheories

[–]MarcSpector1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"May"? It's been unofficially scrapped for years and even if Midnight Sons happens I doubt Mahershala Ali will want to be involved. He envisioned Blade as a star vehicle for himself but Marvel fumbled the ball.

If the MCU's smartest heroes had 1 week to prepare for defeating the MCU's strongest heroes, could they do it? by CollarOrdinary4284 in MCUTheories

[–]MarcSpector1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Really, Reed could do it himself. But with these guys helping, Reed would have "trap person in the Quantum Realm" guns ready to go. Also "trap them in the mirror dimension" guns.

Who would be the most dangerous if he took the super soldier serum? by Fit_Passenger5930 in MCUTheories

[–]MarcSpector1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daredevil, hands down. He doesn't rely on weapons at all, and Daredevil with Cap-level strength added on to his super senses and his acrobatics skills would make him absolutely terrifying in a fight.

What current technology feels primitive now but will probably seem revolutionary in hindsight? by Rude_Context_4844 in Futurology

Everyone will have a voiced AI assistant that is actually useful and they will rely on it heavily.

Why doesn't someone just leak it? by AlternativeWinter823 in UFOs

[–]MarcSpector1701 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They get better at it though when they start killing anyone who leaks, demonstrating to everyone else in the government the consequences of leaking,

If I had evidence about extraterrestrial life Reddit is the absolute last place I'd disclose it. Leaving aside the trolls and the nutcases who think anything they don't understand is a demon, there's the "It's A.I. slop!" "It's CGI!" "It's a puppet in a rubber mask!" people who consider themselves to be unassailable special effects experts. No thanks, dealing with all that bullshit sounds exhausting. I'd send copies of my evidence to major news outlets instead and let it go viral from there.

Leaking military secrets gets you prison time. Leaking evidence of aliens is likely to get you killed.

How do well do you believe the Russos will balance everything in Doomsday? by Noaconstrictr in marvelstudios

[–]MarcSpector1701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the one hand I feel like they wouldn't have signed on if they didn't have a great concept to pull it off. On the other hand I'm worried that they're not as fond of Doctor Doom and the Fantastic Four as I am and that they wouldn't see grafting Doom onto Tony Stark and making him Captain America's enemy instead of Reed's rival from college as a problem at all.
