2024 Which Marvel/MCU pairing is the best?

Which non-lover Marvel / MCU pairing is the best, the most significant, the most chemistry, your favorite? Rank them.

Come to think of it, MCU utilized the most pairings in both films and series. Right off the bat, in Iron Man, Tony already has Rhodey.

  • 2021 Charlie Cox on the possibility of Marvel recasting Daredevil

    Source: ScreenRant: 2021.10.21 Charlie Cox On The Possibility Of Marvel Recasting Daredevil

    > Cox recently caught up with Sirius XM's The Pop Culture Spotlight and discussed the possibility of his return as Daredevil for the MCU. When asked about any advice he'd give to an actor should they be cast in the role over him, the 38-year-old English star had a funny warning for such an event. See what Cox said below:

    > “I would go down into my basement, I would find my Daredevil mask, and I would hunt them down. I would make them fight me for it.”

    2024.09.18 Tempads of TVA in MCU are a security disaster

    Source: Reddit: 2024.09.18 Tempads of TVA in MCU are a security disaster.

    > In Deadpool & Wolverine, as well as in Loki Season 1, all you got to do to travel illegally across multiple timelines is to snatch a tempad from one of the TVA agents. Like if I were designing such a system, I would have probably put in measures to deactivate a tempad remotely from their admin console or something. It hard to believe someone as intelligent as Kang wouldn't have thought of this.

    2024 David Harbour on Thunderbolts' asterisk
  • What if the asterisk stands for the actual members of the team? From the official logo, the particular asterisk has 6 points not 5, so...

    1. Bucky / Winter Soldier
    2. Yelena
    3. Red Guardian
    4. Ghost
    5. USAgent
    6. Taskmaster

    The Philippine flag has 8 rays, and those rays have historical significance, which represent actual locations in the Philippines.

    Elizabeth Olsen Is “Happy” to Return to Marvel, but Only “If There’s a Good Way to Use” Scarlet Witch
  • Easy, just show/claim she was in fact controlled or possessed by an evil entity, say like Chthon, not just plain corrupted. Just like Bucky was when he was still the Winter Soldier. Just like that Wanda variant in MoM whom Wanda possessed to defeat the Illuminati back there.

  • I can't be the only one of us pumped for Agatha All Along
  • I'm excited too. Agatha All Along for series, then Thunderbolts for film. The last which really fulfilled it was Deadpool & Wolverine.

  • 2011-2024 Sebastian Stan 13 years as Bucky
  • Come to think of it, indeed he looked quite different, or maybe because of the moment of the screenshot (hence could be unintentionally misleading). He looked focused there, no sadness nor doubt (like Clint too was/is).

    Sooo does that mean he loses control again in TB?

    Maybe he still retained partial programing but fixed in Wakanda, which could be activated, but he would be in control. Which would be cool, his own Deadpool Maximum Effort mode, his Winter Soldier mode when greatly needed.

    2024.09 Beau DeMayo reveals original Dr. Strange 2 plot - including shocking character death

    comicbookmovie.com X-MEN '97 Showrunner Beau DeMayo Reveals Original DOCTOR STRANGE 2 Plot - Including A SHOCKING Character Death

    Former X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo has decided to share major new details about original plans for 2022's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, including the Scarlet Witch's shocking story arc.

    Source: ComicBookMovie\.com: X-MEN '97 Showrunner Beau DeMayo Reveals Original DOCTOR STRANGE 2 Plot - Including A SHOCKING Character Death

    > Earlier this week, we shared a breakdown of an early version of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness from leaker @MyTimeToShineH. Sharing a link to our post, former X-Men '97 showrunner Beau DeMayo confirmed it was correct and shared additional context.

    > "Correct. OG drafts did her justice," he said of the Scarlet Witch. "Wanda was with Strange recovering after Westview, feeling bad about what she did. She helps him, Wong and Chavez (who she tutors) beat Nightmare across Multiverse, where she also sees her variants happy with her kids."

    > "Still, Wanda resists and she - not Chavez - helps Strange save the day against Nightmare, who turns out to be a Darkhold-corrupted Strange variant," the writer continued. "Also, she used her experiences in WandaVision to warn Chavez about abusing her power."

    > "Only after saving the day, unable to resist finding a multiverse where she can be with her kids, does Wanda - sobbing - break from Strange and accidentally beheads Wong, who tries to stop her from fleeing into the multiverse. That was film’s cliffhanger."

    > DeMayo later pointed out that this draft "made far more sense, and even when she flees, Wanda is torn up by guilt in classic comic book fashion and keeps apologizing to Strange as she vanishes and leaves him with his dead friend’s body."

    Putin: lifting Ukraine missile restrictions would put Nato ‘at war’ with Russia
  • NATO should at least shoot down missiles and drones which enter their sovereign airspace. Save Ukrainian lives and structures. Would also be actual experience of shooting down such actual enemy hardware in their own airspace. No simulation, no controlled environment. Would also train their AI for real.

  • What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?
    • Nation's Pride, in Inglourious Basterds. "Who wants to send a message to Germany?!" ~Fredrick Zoller

    • "I'd buy that for a dollar." in RoboCop.

  • If you could time travel, what would you change ?
  • I prefer to rewind time with me along, be young again, that kind of time travel. Of course with my knowledge and memories of up to before my "time travel", be retained. I could only remember what I could any way. The future would surely not happen exactly as the same before. Live a new younger life, a seemingly fresh restart at an early point in my life.

  • Are garlic, onion as plants; human urine as fertilizer; compatible with isopods, sow bugs?
  • Thanks for the quick reply. So maybe indeed urine was the culprit of the sow bug's demise after all. I thought they were robust enough for both feces and urine, as I have seen some internet pics of pill bugs feasting on I think dog poop, although those are big pill bugs and not the small sow bugs in mine, and of course those using isopods as clean up crews in tanks, hence I arrived to the wrong conclusion. Interestingly, the small pinhead-sized beetles are not affected.

    Just when I thought I got endless supply of fertilizer for almost per day. I was even dreaming of having a new raised enclosure just for the urine to be buried regularly (along with scraps) and thinking to have the sow bugs to have a feast, hence to have ready-to-use soil for pots. Before the appearance of these sow bugs, the last I've seen them were decades ago.

    Luckily I still have surviving numbers from the Papaya pot which I must take care to remultiply. Back quite a while, I remember whenever I scoop the soil from the raised bed, there were immediately numerous sow bugs but none today anymore. I'm glad back some months I scooped some and put in the papaya pot.

    Also glad that both onion and garlic plants have no effect on them as I remember reading they have antibacterial or something properties.

    Thanks again, my friend. 👍

  • Andrew Garfield Shuts Down Rumors of Joining ‘Spider-Man 4’: ‘People Will Just Say Anything to Get Clicks’
  • Just wondering, why does Sony not re-utilize Andrew's own Peter Parker and Spidey in their own film universe, especially after the success of No Way Home and the revitalization of his character there?

  • 2024.08.02 [Analysis] Deadpool & Wolverine is Horrible and Empty
  • For me, the film was thoroughly enjoyable, it has tremendous rewatch value. A movie which one could play in one's house during a get together where people not need to be glued on the TV. There are already previous and existing MCU movies or even non-Disney yet Marvel films which satisfy the OP's criticisms, which I respect, but let D&W be a fun ride. The box office and the film joining the 1 billion club speak for itself.

  • banned?
  • deleted

  • File managers for Windows
  • Just sharing my story. A few or several years ago, I tried the many Windows Explorer alternatives, but I realized I couldn't have one as a main File Manager after all. Among the reasons, I have quite several Explorer add-ons (eg. Classic Explorer bar) with functionalities which are not inherited by any of the alternatives. I have many custom Context Right-click menu entries (even nested). None of the alternatives supports Icaros thumbnailer IIRC, which itself can provide thumbnail previews of WebP image, and embedded WebP image in Matroska.

    Still, I have a few alternatives on stand by, because from past experience, sometimes Explorer crashes, sometimes Windows itself, etc., and several of those times the familiar Explorer could not be started at all, like just an empty Desktop left. But sometimes Run still runs, sometimes Task Manager still runs. So if there are a few alternatives in the disk, then such could be run instead, to be able to do things like copy and back up whatever before wiping out the main disk for a clean reinstall of the OS. Back in time it was ACDSee 3.1 which fulfilled the role.

    And so since then, I always have a second partition (or more), or an actual separate disk (or with its own few partitions too), say a D: drive where I have my programs and files, including REG files, so that it's easier to be back in action after an OS or C: drive corruption.

  • Team Deadpool & Wolverine (film) vs All Predators (film versions)
  • Agree. Sorry about that, I was still editing, didn't realize the fast response.

  • 2024.08.31 The hate on Channing Tatum as Gambit
  • For me, Channing Tatum earned it. Say a solo movie, buddy film, a solo with supporting characters of really significant screen time, etc. Lately, Ryan Reynolds released the video of Gambit with a portal opening. Such portal could then lead to his own home timeline.

    The MCU is multiversal, hence Tatum's Gambit could have his adventure in his own home, separate from the continuity of the Sacred Timeline, yet still part of God of Stories Loki's World Tree. Even Snipes' Blade 4, his "Logan" film counterpart conclusion could be done too that way, and Ali's own would still be the main MCU's. Who knows, that portal could lead to one of the Wolverines, like Cavillrine's, Patch's, brown/tan variant's (the one with vs Hulk), the one-handed Age of Apocalypse variant's, etc.

    Such could be self-contained, confined into their own universes. Maybe Gambit could have his own Jubilee (Negasonic analogue) and Strong Guy (Colossus, big guy analogue) for example, as they were Gambit & the Externals after all in AoE. Hence the Sacred Timeline would be free for any future "recast", including Gambit himself. Tom Holland was recasted as MCU Spidey/Peter Parker, and yet after the introduction of the Multiverse, both Tobey Maguire's and Andrew Garfield's own still exist at the same time.

    Such approach could also make possible for other R-rated superhero films under Disney/Marvel, just like D&W. Come to think of it, there's the ongoing Sony's own Spidey universe, which Disney has no control, which is canonically still part of the Multiverse.

  • 2024 Fantastic Four: First Steps - first look at The Thing (Ben Grimm)
  • Haha, probably, hence it's likely protected too. Perhaps Johnny Cage would hurt his fist package-checking it, or Nina her foot after bad habit'ing it.
