Well in comic books in general there typically is very little consequences. Almost all the Marvel movies have been designed for a singular purpose, to either introduce a character or to set something else up down the line.

Ever since Marvel started making the movies themselves, only two of them have been bad and 5 have been great. The rest have been good. But as a fan, I accept the good movies because I know they build up to the great movies. We can get a much larger picture in Cap 3 because so many of the things this movie need to execute has already been set up by previous movies. Avengers 3 is going to be out of this world amazing because it will be the final two chapters of a story spanning dozens of movies. It will have more moving parts than anything ever before but like companywide event stories, it wont seem as overwhelming because so much of the leg work has already been done.

Not if there is not some fallout from this movie that create a ripple effect in other movies than I will be disappointed, but from the reviews, that does not seem to be the case.

I doubt Dr. Strange changes the game much for Marvel movies (other than introducing mystics into the universe), same goes for GotG2 or Thor 3. Marvel likely won't do too much to shake up the status quo before Infinity Wars and I am fine with that because I fully plan to see Infinity Wars. But I also have no problem buying multiple comic books just to be told one story.

Even though I'm pumped for Infinity Wars, it does make me nervous.

The Russos have done a great job, but this will be one of the biggest movies of all time. It will have one of the biggest budgets, biggest casts, biggest story of almost any movie before. Two movies and a single story set up over dozens of movies.

One wrong misstep and it could ruin Marvel. Sure Dr. Strange or another one of the phase 3 movies could bomb, but people will still flock to see them. But this is the IT.

Inifinty Wars will be bigger than all the other movies and tv shows combined because it all leads to this. Disney and Marvel will throw the kitchen sink on it to make sure everything goes perfectly, which can be troublesome. if they dont let the Russos do their thing, it could be one of the biggest letdowns ever.

This fan made phase 2 video is epic

Eventually people will get tired of these films, it's inevitable. I'm a fan of all comic book movies and wish them well. But even I'm kind of over a lot of it. Aside from Civil War, I don't care much about some of the others films coming up.

So what happens after IW closes out phase 3? Is that where this all ends?

I'd guess that they'd use IW to introduce a few new characters for phase 4 and 5.

As others have said. They would have to make a Catwoman or F4 bad movie with one of their biggest stars to detract people from seeing these. The audience they are targeting is still young and will continue to see these no matter what. There is also so much source material to work through, not a finite number of books.

I wasn't a big fan of Iron Man 3 or Thor 2, but I would see an Iron Man 4 on opening day and will still see Ragnarok opening weekend no matter what the critics say.

What about Galactus (even using the Ultimate Gal Lak Tus route) or the Annihilation Wave storylines?

Here's the messed up thing: They can only go so far with certain storylines.

Here's an example: The current Star-Lord is none other than Peter Quill's fiancee

I found a couple of interesting quotes from the positive reviews:

quote:

---

Marvel movies don't get much better than this. The trouble is, they don't want to.

---

quote:

---

This is good ridiculous fun, with a steady stream of wisecracks to accompany the fan-pleasing one-on-one match-ups.

---

quote:

---

It is during those scenes with Spider-Man that Marvel Studios demonstrates its greatest strength: a certainty of tone.

---

I wonder what tone that would be? Interesting to me is that this guy's review was credited as a positive one when he gave it a 3/5.

quote:

---

In the 2016 battle for superhero supremacy, Marvel has unquestionably delivered the knock-out blow.

---

Really? This is the 3rd of the 6 comic book movies coming out this year and you are already claiming it the the best superhero movie of the year when 2 of the other 6 aren't finished yet and the other one you will be writing a review on in the next 2-3 weeks?



Looking through the outlets that some of these reviewers were from and I've literally never heard of most of them. I took a glance at the number of reviews for them and a lot of them have less than 40-50 reviews under their belt. The only real name outlets that I see are the ones who came out in that first batch of a dozen or so and I've already said why they all gave positive reviews.
