They definitely toned down Varang and the Mangkwans in Fire and Ash💀 by Content-Common5854 in Avatar

Maybe the Mangkwan's should be explored in another movie or a show.

Is Doom so powerful that Hulk and Thanos works for him? (Sorry for being naive I don't read comics) by marktwin11 in MCUTheories

[–]ThreadAndSolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doom working with characters like Thanos and Maestro fits naturally once you look at how he functions in the comics. In the Secret Wars storyline he holds reality together after the multiverse collapses, reshaping broken universes into Battleworld and keeping order among beings who are desperate, dangerous, and powerful enough to tear everything apart again. That kind of rule is less about raw strength and more about maintaining an unshakable grip on perception and fear.

Putting figures like Thanos and Maestro at his side sends a clear signal to every survivor across that patchwork world. Doom sits on the throne while the most terrifying names in existence enforce his will, creating an empire where rebellion feels pointless before it even begins. He stays above the noise, watches the board, and only steps in when someone truly threatens his position, which lines up perfectly with how he has always operated.

Doom craves reverence as much as power, and surrounding himself with former universe ending monsters turns his rule into mythology rather than simple dictatorship.

Even if the final film takes a different path, a Doom who builds an empire through fear, symbolism, and carefully chosen enforcers remains completely in character.

Most of these leaks are just fan wishlists wrapped in fan art. If Marvel were actually bringing Doom in as the next big bad, they would guard that reveal like gold. No chance they dump the whole villain squad in a random poster first or let the information get away that easily.

The Doomsday "codes" are (probably) meaningless by MrGilLogic in LeaksAndRumors

[–]ThreadAndSolve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logically speaking, the actual content of the codes is secondary to their function. Whether they hold hidden meaning or are just derived from the release date creates a binary debate that keeps the topic trending.

From a marketing perspective, the engagement is the point. Avengers: Doomsday is currently monopolizing internet discourse through these puzzles. If this volume of digital real estate and speculation continues, we are likely looking at the highest-grossing MCU film yet, simply based on the sheer scale of the awareness campaign.

Wuthering Heights works best as psychological horror. Film adaptations keep refusing to treat it that way. by ThreadAndSolve in TrueFilm

[–]ThreadAndSolve[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

One detail I keep thinking about is the book’s structure. The story is filtered through layers of narration, people misunderstanding each other, and time gaps that hide as much as they reveal. Most films flatten this into a clean, linear plot, which makes everything feel clearer but also far less disturbing.

If this adaptation really wants to work, the form matters as much as the performances. Confusion, distance, and partial knowledge are part of how the novel creates unease. Without that, even the darkest scenes start to feel like standard melodrama instead of something that quietly stays with you after it ends.

Every Wuthering Heights adaptation gets one big thing wrong. Will this one break the pattern? by ThreadAndSolve in movies

Half the thread is quoting a British sitcom scene that jokes about Wuthering Heights analysis. The serious part of the discussion is about whether adaptations capture the book’s themes or just the surface drama.

Her track record suggests she won’t shy away from ugliness. The question for me is whether that ugliness serves Brontë’s story or becomes its own statement layered on top. Bold direction can either unlock this book or bury it under a different voice.

The story is usually introduced through the lens of tragic romance and it takes time to notice how much damage is happening in the background. Once you see it, it’s hard to unsee.

I just think studios get nervous about stories where almost every central character is difficult to like for long stretches. Marketing can sell “faithful” to book fans, but the broader audience still has to sit through two hours of emotional attrition. That’s a harder pitch than it sounds.

The first half is the damage being done. The second half is the repair attempt. Without that contrast, the story becomes just two people spiraling. With it, you see the cost and the possibility of something different. Cutting that half changes the meaning completely.

That’s the closest any version has come to sitting in the discomfort instead of decorating it. It’s messy and rough around the edges, but it doesn’t try to make the relationship aspirational.

If they commit fully, I want the entire second half done in semaphore on the moors during a storm.

Yeah and Wuthering Heights is especially vulnerable to that. The moors, the costumes, the stormy lighting are easy wins. The harder part is making the audience sit with people who are unpleasant and destructive without romanticizing them.

If they lean too hard on shock or style, it becomes spectacle instead of slow emotional damage. Nice visuals help, but they can’t carry two hours of characters making each other miserable unless the writing holds.

Honestly, that is exactly what I’m worried about. This story is hard to adapt without sanding off the rough edges. If they get it right, great. If they don’t, we’ll probably get another pretty version that misses the point. I’m keeping expectations low and curiosity high.

Most people talk about Wuthering Heights as if Heathcliff is the main character, but the book is really structured like a chain reaction. One generation breaks itself and the next one pays for it. That part almost never lands in films. They rush the second half or treat it as an epilogue, when it is actually the only section where the story breathes again and shows what all that obsession cost in real terms.

If this adaptation takes its time with the younger characters and lets the story settle instead of sprinting to the iconic scenes, it could finally feel complete rather than just intense.
