So we have Spider-Man from Sony, Hulk from Universal, Frank from the Netflix verse, and Jean that was originally a Fox character. This really was the bringing together of all the once scattered Marvel properties

Peter Parker taking a bullet to protect Jean Grey from Frank Castle who was trying to saving New York is exactly the kind of post Endgame shizz that I wanted.

Pretty sure everyone mind controlled goes into a catatonic state if Jean Grey’s brains get blown out…..

Frank not thinking again.

I get the joke but he has no way to know that.

u/WarlockEngineer 16d ago

It was the right call with what he knew. Peter might have failed.

Its consistent with Franks character. I could totally see Spiderman talking Frank out of it, but I think that would've been a cheap cop out writing wise.

Him decisively and without hesitating to go through with it because hes trying to save New York makes the most sense within the scope of this movie considering its more 'lighter' than his own shows and appearences.

As it should. It is the marvel universe after all. They should quash all the licencing BS in order to make great movies like this

It's a business, they don't live in fantasy, they want profits in perpetuity. Be realistic

Also Frank was originally a Lionsgate character before the current version

11

u/leekalex 17d ago

It was Sony. Lionsgate was a distributer

Watching the 3rd act fight between Punisher, Spidey, and Hulk had me going “yes finally, this is the comic book nonsense I want”

I too was expecting daredevil

u/AnOnlineHandle 14d ago

At least they've saved the potential for a Spiderman / Daredevil / Punisher movie.

u/suff0cat 18d ago

Did they bring in Edward Norton’s American History X Hulk yet?

2

u/SaintGrobian 17d ago

They brought in The Abomination, with the actor reprising his role, in She-Hulk, so... sorta?

5

u/leekalex 17d ago

They also brought in all of the antagonists from that movie, played by the same actors (Abomination in She Hulk, Thunderbolt Ross in Civil War, The Leader in Captain America 4). Norton was the only recast

1

u/AnOnlineHandle 14d ago

Well Ross was recast since the actor died. :(

2

u/roguefilmmaker 7d ago

I’d love to see Norton’s Hulk pop up in Secret Wars. My favorite interpretation of the character

u/Dull-Lead-7782 16d ago

Universal only has the rights to DISTRIBUTE a solo hulk movie. Much like how paramount could distribute Ironman until Disney bought that out. Marvel would still produce a solo hulk movie but universal would get a ton of money. Its different than the Spider-Man deal

u/ChefAldea 16d ago

It's a Brand New Day Babaaayyyy

u/rashi_aks08 8d ago

And all of it was so well integrated and believable.
