More Marvel - Sep 27

…To continue the issue of Marvel and mutants, because real life sucks – just ask Judge Cavanaugh and Dr. Ford – two more things should be mentioned, perhaps. One is that ‘Daredevil’ S3 is coming to Netflix in October 2018. This is Marvel, but not mutants – usually Daredevil stays separate from the X-Men and their crowd, though in the comics he did team up once with Wolverine and Jubilee to stop the Hand and their latest plot, but right now, on TV – not so much. Rather, from the trailers that we have seen, he might be going against Wilson Fisk/the Kingpin once again. (Maybe Punisher could help, but so far, there is no new info about him).

And the second? The ‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ film has released its’ first trailer.

Now, here is the thing: ‘Dark Phoenix’ has nothing in common with ‘Insatiable’ – do people still remember that damn mess? Hopefully, it had been forgotten by now, but one of the things that contributed to its’ failure was its’ poorly designed trailer, which was badly put together, chaotic. The trailer of ‘Dark Phoenix’ has a similar feeling – it is chaotic, unintentionally designed to overwhelm the audiences with maximum of info in a minimal amount of time, just as the trailer of ‘Insatiable’ sought to do, also unintentionally. The result? While undoubtedly the ‘Dark Phoenix’ movie will be good, and maybe even better than the previous ‘evil Jean X-Men’ movie, where Wolverine had to fix everything, as he always does, because Cyclops and Xavier got offed by Jean earlier in the film, right now, the first expressions of ‘Dark Phoenix’ are mixed. Good luck to team Disney/FOX in sorting it all out.

Finally, speaking of movies – ‘Venom’ is coming to the movie theaters in October 2018 too. It will be interesting to watch, (plus its’ trailers were all done correctly, off topic). As it was already established, Carnage will not be in the movie, but some other symbionts – especially Rampage – will be, and Venom might be unable to defeat them through sheer physical strength alone, some more sophisticated strategies might be required. Since Venom tends to go more with its’ instincts than intelligence, Eddie might have his work cut out for both of them – but again, we will have to wait and see as to what will develop in the movie.

…Well, this is it for now – I will see you in the future.
