MCU Phase 5 General Discussion Thread

I wonder how the vibranium busting holds up against old post-awakening high tiers since we know Thanos struggled to break the shield while it seems trivial for Rhulk and Namor.
Then again, he did break Vision's head so who knows.
Once again I put forth that Vision was in a weakened state when he got plucked. Exhibit A: Damage from his gem blast. Exhibit B: Undamaged by White Vision's equal gem blast. Exhibit C: Ratio + #VisionStronk

Or let’s just upscale thanos and say the shield feat was an outlier or ret con and their power levels are above it
 
I guess I'll spoiler tag this, but quite literally nothing major


The movie uses a different intro for the Marvel Studios Logo
 
How are we treating Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man? IIRC it's a variant off Homecoming, and Daredevil does match Peter in a clip I've seen
 
It looks like a very distant varient.
It’s actually called by WoG a sister universe right next to the main one to the point it was originally supposed to be a Tom origin story but daredevil obviously does not scale to mcu peter who literally caught Bucky metal arm lol

I mean, it's quite a different sister universe, really. Peter isn't in midtown, Oscorp exists, Nico Minoru is in NYC when she should be in LA, etc

Peter was in midtown until Aunt May dies, but in this universe Stark never came to get Peter to help fight Cap. We know nothing about Oscorp in the MCU. Runaways is not actually confirmed to be cannon to MCU so....
 
The Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man universe is a bit tricky to figure out, as despite the differences, other things still seemed to have played out largely the same as they did in the MCU. The main events of Civil War seems to have gone pretty much the same without Spider-Man, including the airport battle still occurring and having the same overall outcome, and the events of the first two Avengers movie also seem to have happened, with both the Chitauri invasion and the Battle of Sokovia getting referenced.

Actually Oscorp doesn't exist in the sacred timeline

Offtopic but may I ask why we scale the TVA soldiers from Loki if he was depowered during their fights?
We shouldn’t scale them anyway as Hunter X-05 proves they are all just normal humans when he was literally scared of a group of thugs on the street and he didn’t know it was Loki illusions at the time and if he was Loki tier which is strong enough to no sell punches from cap he’d never be scared as a group of humans physically wouldn’t be able to hurt him
 
It just came back to me in a flash but...does anyone at Disney remember 2018 Red Skull is free to do whatever the hell he wants since Thanos took the Soul Stone? Yeah, kind of of forgot that tiny detail that, with the Stones destroyed, the 2018 Schmidt is free to roam the universe now, unlike his 2014 counterpart

1. Norman Osborn existing alone contradicts NWH, as Oscorp, Norman Osborn, and Harry Osborn do not exist in the MCU
2. The way Peter gets his powers is also different. In HC, Peter is referenced as knowing he was bitten by a spider, as well as confirming its dead. YFNSM depicts the spider bite differently, including Peter having no idea what bit him or if its still alive
3. The homemade suits are entirely different

The show isn't all that different from TNAS, which was a show that due to the popularity of Spider-Man (2002), took inspiration for several elements of its world, but is NOT part of the Raimiverse, even having aspects that contradict Spider-Man 1. YFNSM is pretty much the MCU version of this. Yeah, its super MCU gentrified, but to treat it as 100% MCU canon wouldn't be accurate. Its clearly its own continuity

It’s not it’s own continuity it’s stated canon and a variant universe you complaining about plot holes won’t change that

It is canon it was literally supposed to be a Tom origin story you don’t get more mcu canon then that

Oh, I'm not denying that its a variant universe. I'm just saying its not part of the Main MCU Universe (where we see HC, FFH, and NWH happen)
 
A compilation of statements comparing burnt/treated Jabari wood to vibranium:
  • From Black Panther production designer Hannah Beachler: “In M’Baku’s throne room, the wood walls you see as you enter the room are done using the Japanese technique, Shou Sugi Ban. It’s a process that involves charring a wood surface to render it a deep charcoal black, making it weatherproof,” Beachler explains. “In our story, the Jabari tribe do not use the metal resource vibranium. In their region, the earth is saturated with vibranium dust, making the trees as strong and powerful as the metal when the wood is burned. This more organic technology is shown in the burnt wood of this particular set.”
  • Also from Beachler: [00:40:17] That’s why we have Jabari Mountain okay. It's treated very differently. When it comes to vibranium, the vibranium dusted over that area, so went into the soil and affected the flora and fauna. So the Jabari, you’ll see, have a lot of wood. [00:40:38] So their wood, as it grew out of the ground that had been saturated with vibranium, when you bring it to a certain burn point, it becomes like steel. So you’ll see notice, you know, they have what looks like burnt wood a lot of the time around in their buildings.
  • Yet another statement from Beachler: "We used a Japanese technique, Shou Sugi Ban, to burn the wood in the entrance of the throne room. Once burnt, the wood that grows at the base of the mountain and is used only by the Jabari has the same properties as vibranium. This was a completely different design language from the rest of Wakanda because of the Jabari tradition of woodworking, carpentry and engineering as well as the fact that they were isolated from the rest of the country."
  • From Winston Duke: "Yeah, this is something we didn’t get to interrogate deeply in the film, but everything for them is based around this Jabari wood that comes from this sacred tree. Everything in Jabari land is made out of this sacred wood that can essentially go toe-to-toe with a Vibranium sword or a Vibranium weapon because it’s this tempered, strong, treated wood."
 

Oh look a captain America match on FCOC that uses his moon level key

Would this not upgrade Namor massively since he can break Jabari wood like it's no problem?
 
In theory it should, considering that I don't think a hydrated Namor has any notable anti-feats, and M'Baku clearly treated the wood getting broken as a big deal.
The issue we run into is all statements place vibranium tier hulk tier m Baku even compared namor to hulk after he broke his wood
 
Doctor Strange time traveled accidentally, meaning that the events behind Peter getting his powers are a loop

Harry is starting his own business after the incident at Oscorp where he invites young minds to work under him (All the interns were invited, plus Nico and Lonnie, though Amadeus rejects the offer to continue working at Oscopr), Maxwell Dillion (Electro), Ripley Ryan (Star), Priya Aggarwal, and Ned Leeds are listed among them.

Lonnie's skin is starting to get bleached after getting his powers and now runs the 110th

Otto starts to think about making his robotic arms

Norman finds remnants of the symbiote after Strange and Peter close the portal

Nico practices magic to communicate with her dead mother

Richard Parker is alive, but not well given that he's in prison

Finesse (Jeanne Foucault) is Daredevil's sidekick
 


Friendly Neighborhood Peter Parker is MCU adjacent, so we already know Gwen can't be a lover interest cause he's not attracted to white women

I mean, Gwen Stacy is like the greatest Spidey Love Interest even when he's not Peter along with MJ (well until she became a toxic jerk with Paul at least) so there's still a chance
 
What I'm imagining that they're doing with Gwen is that she'll be introduced as just another student at Peter's school that he get along with. But in her free time, inspired by Spider-Man, she goes around fighting crime despite not having any power. This causes her to come into conflict with Spider-Man and she'll later be contacted by Norman so that he can have another hero that'll work directly under him. He'll upgrade her equipment, allowing her to be more efficient but she'll eventually get badly injured, forcing Norman to infuse her with the symbiote so that he doesn't have another failure on his hands. She'll be the Venom of the series, or at least one of them

For something you imagined, that goes pretty far, almost sounds like some plot they actually prepared lol
