They will never kill Cap in the movies, Whedon-trope or not.

Leading up to The Avengers, all the post-credit sequences were all about connecting the heroes and their world, and SHIELD.
Could be "cool" if in this batch of movies leading to Avengers 2, they have scenes that connect the villains to each other. Some sort of Marvel equivalent of an Injustice League/Society/Legion of Doom situation. |

Hmmm......apart from the Masters of Evil (who eventually got turned into the Thunderbolts), does Marvel even have that sort of villain team?
Because you'd think Dr. Doom and Magneto would probably get along like gangbusters. |

I believe you are thinking of Bendis. Unless you are talking about Whedons's television work, in which case I don't know. I've only ever read his work in comics.
The problem with thanos being in love with hela is that she is only the godess of death in asgard. Thanos himself works on a scale far, far beyond that of Hela, and his fixation is on the living embodiment of death, not simply a shepard like hela, let alone a shepard of one world. |

Thanos has cold-cocked Galactus; I seriously doubt he'd be led along by a single Asgardian.

I would still say go with Ultron in the second film, with a bit of Thanos and his thralls working in the shadows, and then do The Infinity Gauntlet in Avengers 3. Who knows, maybe by the time 3 comes around, they can get the license to the FOX owned properties, and have a true epic marvel crossover movie. |

But yeah, Thanos has defeated not only Galactus, but all the cosmic entities including Eternity itself. Only reason he ever loses is because he subconciously wants to lose. |

I put Hela in that role she would better explained in the MCU than 'death herself', with Asgard already established.

In that sense, you could make Hela a minion of Death. Would be a great way to tie Thanos into Thor 2.

Any chance Avengers 2 will rehash the Infinity Gauntlet story?

It's possible, especially if Thanos really is the main villain.
The scale of that story is so epic, though, and Thanos so powerful a villain, that there really isn't anywhere to go but down from there. That's why I'd rather they save it. Whedon himself said that he put Thanos in because he is the ultimate bad guy in the Marvel Universe. |

Carol Denvers could be introduced as a SHIELD agent who gets infected by leftover Chitauri tech to set-up Ms Marvel in Avengers. I would also like to see She-Hulk for another fun snippy character.

I put Squirrel Girl on my team in Kalyx's thread, for that reason.
Kind of cheating tbh, as it's an instant win. |

The First X-Men:
Prequel, showing that Logan started a team to combat mutant haters before Xavier formally created a team. Kinda pretentious but it might be fun. |

Stop with the goddamn X-Men prequels, for Christ's sake!
I thought the whole appeal of Wolverine was that he wasn't a team player in the first place, a selfish loner who didn't take up any cause, then grew into the role as he went. If he was calling the shots on his own team before the X-Men were even a thing, then that's......pretty much undoing the entire point of the character. This is like finding out Han Solo was a leader of the Rebel Alliance before running into Luke and Obi-Wan; pointlessly retconning one of the core elements of what the character is and why people like him. |

It has Sabretooth, though. Which itself raises a lot of questions but whatever.

Marvel Makes It Official On 'The View': Northstar Will Marry His Boyfriend In Historic X-Men Issue Using the chatty mouths found on the ladies of The View (of all places) to make one of its biggest announcements in years, Marvel made it official on Tuesday morning: Northstar will propose to and marry his boyfriend Kyle in a landmark story arc for The Astonishing X-Men. First teased with a mysterious "Save the Date" issued in March, it has since been speculated by countless fanboy sites and industry blogs that Northstar would be the character tying the knot. The announcement on The View today put an end to the churning of the rumor mill and gave a thumbs up to everyone's best guess. For the first time in Marvel's history, two men will marry. "In Astonishing X-Men #50, gay X-Man Northstar will propose to his boyfriend Kyle, with a marriage in an upcoming issue," Whoopi revealed on Tuesday's episode. “That’s kind of amazing," she added. “When I was a kid and I used to read these magazines, you never saw an array of people." Issue #50, the proposal, will hit stands tomorrow with the marriage issue slated for #51 in June. (Yay! A June wedding!) Though I always cry at weddings, this one, if you don't mind me outing myself as a lifelong comic book geek, will unhinge the flood gates. The X-Men universe was my playground in young childhood, my escape from bullying in my pre-teen and teen years and my nostalgic way to relax in the evenings in these, my adult years. It's not exactly coincidental that right around the time Northstar said "I am gay" in 1992 I, for the first time, considered echoing those words. Oddly enough, being able to relate to the X-Men always helped me feel normal. With my nose stuck in between the pages of each and every issue, deeply inhaling the musky scent so that as many senses as possible were able to experience the story, I finally did fit in somewhere, no matter whatever the kid up the street shouted my way. Twenty years after Northstar came out of the closet, I still know firsthand the significance of what having an out X-Man marrying his boyfriend will mean to the countless young LGBT. It's a landmark moment in pop culture, a storyline decades in the making for Marvel and a watershed for comic book fans young and young at heart alike. Kids outside the bubble of politics (a world that itself has rapidly evolved toward marriage equality in recent months) will finally have a major mainstream and accessible character making his dreams of marrying his partner come true. If Northstar can marry his boyfriend, why won't they be able to in the near future? It may seem fun and trivial and no more than a pop culture meme destined to fizzle as soon as the honeymoon ends, but let me assure you: the moment Northstar slips that ring on his boyfriends finger, gay kids around the world will be forever changed. |

Yeah, but
COLDBLOOD? Shitty as his villains are, they could do a lot better than some 90's cliche. Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Firepower.... Fuck, after seeing how they turned whiplash into such an awesome character, I would have even taken Blizzard. But COLDBLOOD? I had to ggogle that fucker. And I know me some shitty Iron Man villains. |
