This is gonna be some Boba Fett-tier bullshit. They want the MC to be a crime boss but also an upstanding member of her community who never does anything morally questionable.
I reckon she doesn't actually want to be a mobster, but since she's Fisk's daughterfu, Fisk's old enemies want her dead anyway.
In Oklahoma?
They are actively hunting her.
>successor to the brutal legacy of Wilson Fisk
In Oklahoma?
>another strong wyman lead
were are the shows with cool and heroic white male leads? so far the only shows with white male leads always featured said white males getting put on the sideline with a female character who is depicted as smarter, stronger and more competent then the white male talking leads. white male “leads” also always got emasculated and humiliated for cheap jokes like loki getting kicked in the balls yet female characters never get treated like that
What about all Iron Man movies, all Captain America movies, all Thor movies, both Doctor Strange movies, all Spider-Man movies, all Guardians movies?
almost a decade old and not shows anon.
don’t you understand how conversations work?
>not everything us about white males, I'm being raped and killed by BIPOCs erasing Historyyyyyy
BIPOC is a term created and used exclusively by crackers.
Reminder they prioritized this over Nova, Ghost Rider, a proper Hulk film, X-Men, Fantastic Four, a Silver Surfer project and what have you
well theyre making a xmen & fantastic four movie but yeah i need my dick rider show/movie
>i need my dick rider show/movie
Well Victoria Alonso is gone so Rich has a bigger chance of being in the MCU. But it depends how many "muh diversity" people are on Marvel Studios because they might just frick over Rich and do Sam with the most painful kid oriented Disney channel tier show. Now after Blue Beetle came out and did OK they either want to have their own space Latino teen hero or avoid doing what DC is doing.
And if they decided to focus on Rich as their Nova I'm afraid they'll have him debut in what will most likely be a Star-Lord on Earth D+ show and he'll be Peter's sidekick until they feel like doing a Nova movie.
But I still feel they will go with Sam for shallow reasons unless that one Missouri Politician by the same name does something so fricking awful that Marvel would steer away from the character.
did victoria alonso hate him? i feel like if gunn was never fired he wouldve used nova in something after gotg3
I wouldn't say she hated him but that woman did so many interviews in Telemundo about pushing diversity and how she wanted to bring more Latino heroes to Marvel that eventually when they got to Nova she would have 100% chosen Sam as the star just because he was Latino.
Gunn wouldn't have used him but before being fired it was planned for him to be a consultant and if you see his old FB videos he talked about the possibility of Rich being in the MCU and mentioned him specifically by name because that's the Nova he knew about.
I know the suppose scooper rumors were that they were planning in having two Novas with Rich and Sam and that one of the Moon Knight writers was working on a script for a Nova special/show but that was probably scrapped for now.
i see. well i wouldntve minded something with both but ironically gunn is already planning something similar with the lanterns show heh. and yeah its more likely he wouldve used adam warlock in something instead
If they had you know the outcome would have been shit anyhow but I see your point. MCU is waaaay past its prime. Guardians was the last decent shit it had and that concluded.
>Nova
Nobody knows about him, apart from MvC.
>Ghost Rider
campy and fun, but even the Nic Cage movies were a mixed bag
>a proper Hulk film
barely succeeds as a film outside the old TV series
>X-Men
won't be super popular outside of Wolverine, I have no idea what they'll do with Kamala, Xmen 97 will definitely be some sort of litmus test for characters not named Wade Wilson.
>Fantastic Four
Ensemble films are expensive enough as is, I don't what they're going to do outside of Fan4stic and Reed's one-off in MoM
>Silver Surfer
Chances are he'd be tied up to F4 again.
>Nova
>Nobody knows about him, apart from MvC.
Why is this even an excuse when they went with more literal whos than him. Not to mention they already had plans to include him in the MCU since before Gunn was involved in the Guardians but kept pushing him back for one reason or another. The Russos even toyed with adding him in Infinity Wars but decided that the cast was already way too big.
He's been pushed back so much and the Nova corps is a thing in the MCU that the MCUgays even know about him even if it's in a vague way.
>Why is this even an excuse
One from convenience because I couldn't think of something other than "well he was in mahvel once alongside rocket raccoon."
They waited too much with the X-Men even young zoomers don't know who they are but they know who Wolverine is so you're right on that.
the MCU brand is worth more than the X-Men brand so just paste MARVEL STUDIOS on the movies and people will at least see it.
while marvel did shoot themselves in the foot by abandoning the xmen young zoomers still atleast have heard of the brand and know its popular
i really want to know what they were thinking when greenlighting this
>i really want to know what they were thinking when greenlighting this
Pushing for more diversity with both characters and actors. The actor is deaf and missing a leg too.
i guess thats cool that theyre giving the actress a chance that she wouldnt normally get but arent you supposed to prop up these characters and make them more popular first
>but arent you supposed to prop up these characters and make them more popular first
Not anymore. The mute deaf speedster in Eternals was played by a mute deaf too.
yeah but thats an assemble she wasnt the main star. nobody gave a shit about black widow until she was in avengers (albeit still nobody probably cares about the speedster but thats because eternals flopped)
>a proper Hulk film
Would have been a flop. Ruffalo can't carry a movie by himself. Also, Hulk has been extremely neutered and is dead now. There's only green Banner now.
>Cody Lightning as Cousin Biscuits
is he related to Fred Durst known as the Limp Biscuit?
the only reason this shit was greenlit was because it was during the "give everyone an spin-off phase"
now they are in the "holy shit what are we doing, we need to slow down NOW"
they regret ever making this show, which is why they reduced to 5 episodes and it will release all at once
Her super powers are deafness, a prosthetic leg, and some fighting skills. That's it. It's gonna be a huge flop.
Don't worry they gave her magic Indian tattoo with her NATIVE ANCESTOR™ in it, with a list of powers long like the arm. But don't worry, she can't (always) choose what power she use, it's semi-random (it will always be a convenient one).
Can someone please give me a qrd on who the frick Echo is?
See
I see. Follow up question, why does she need her own show? Are there any Echo fans out there?
Mute Native American who first appeared in Daredevil's comics.
>mute
Deaf.
