This is my first post guys, i hope you all enjoy....
The way Marvel have created the MCU, and moulded it into the Blockbuster producing phenonemon it has become is beyond impressive. Its created a world where both the die-hard comic fan and casual moviegoer can enjoy in equal measure, with charaters and strories that a decade ago would of been unknown to all but the passionate comic reader.
I have always read the different theories surrounding the MCU on here with great interest and find it fascinating how each of us piece together the puzzle that Kevin Feigie and Marvel have layed before us. I agree with many different slices of the theories i have read on here, and so i feel inclined to share a thought ive had on this matter, as i feel i have something to contribute that has not yet been considered.
All of the theories i have read for the future to the MCU have been based on what we know/expect to happen. For example we know that at some point Thanos will assemble the Infinity Gauntlet, We know that Buckey will replace Cap. We expect these things to happen because they have happened in the comics.
What we have learned from all the MCU films to date however is that Marvel can, and will, deviate from the comic stories.
Think of the curve ball that we were thrown with Ben Kingsley's Mandarin/Trevor character. If you can find me a man/woman who predicted that then i will, with no shame, call them a liar. Even the Iron Man 3 addaption of Extremis was unexpected.
The revelation that Star Lord father was not who we thought was also unexpected, and sets up exciting and unpredicatble possibilities for GOTG2.
In a week or so's time we will get to see Avengers: Age of Ultron, with the creation of Ultron himself being drastically changed from his comic origins.
Ther acquisition of Spider-Man is also going to play a huge future into the MCU. When Kevin Feigie and the top cheeses at Marvel sat down to discuss the layout of Phase 3, they would not have known that our friendly neighbourhood webslinger would soon be swinging into to join us in the MCU (Apologies for that terrible pun).
We know from the Civil War story that Spidey plays a huge part, however this will without doubt be changed now that Black Panther has been cast in the film.
There are many other points that could be argued, however at this stage i think its easier to simply say this: Let us not base our theories on what is to come, from what has already happened. Marvel can change things, they have changed things, and they will no doubt continue to change things in the future.
Thanks for reading, as i have said this is my first ever post so please be gentle with me. Sound off below as i will be interested to hear your thoughts.
