Sean answers your Marvel questions!

0:31 bryan smith

Hey Sean hope your having a good start to the new year . My question is , do you think it’s possible ultron built a fail safe in vision like in the comics ? It would be could if somewhere down the line vision is taking over by ultron when the avengers lest expect it.

2:53 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

Hey Sean! The Discord is awesome btw, I’m enjoying it.

I asked a while ago what your favorite moment for each Avenger member was; what is some of your favorite villain moments in the MCU? Top 5 maybe?

14:44 Chris F

Hey Sean. Thanks for setting up the discord. Absolutely loving it on there. 2 questions today: 1) With theatres now offering passes to view unlimited movies for a monthly fee how does that effect the box office totals? For example I have an Alamo Drafthouse season pass that I pay $20 a month for and I could technically see captain marvel every day if i wanted to and still only pay my $20.

20:25 Chris F

Question two: I know you spend allot of time creating podcasts and content, but what podcasts if any do you listen to for enjoyment in your free time? And what to you makes a great podcast? Thanks again for everything and have a great week!

26:22 Michael Louis Weaselboy

Hey Sean hope your week is going good, I really enjoy listening to these podcasts you do it makes my workday go by faster. Anyways my question is who do you think will be the villain for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?? I know Adam Warlock was going to play some kind of role but he is more of a hero, so who do you think it will be?? Assuming of course the movie is made.

28:16 Paul Shearman

Hey Sean and patrons, hope you’re all well. I’ve been reading and enjoying all the discord chats going on, I haven’t posted yet but I’m enjoying the conversations.
So, the Captain Marvel Special Look was excellent, and I’m so excited for this movie. Once again, Marvel Studios are doing a great job of keeping the focus on this movie and away from Endgame, which is absolutely as it should be.
I’ve noticed a slight gear change in the tone of the teasers as they’ve dropped in turn, and we’ve started seeing the fun and charming side of Carol Danvers starting to emerge.
Do you think this was the intention from Marvel Studios - to build up the trailers this way - and that is hasn’t just been as a reaction to criticisms about the lack of humour and emotion from Brie Larson in the initial teaser. I’m sure Marvel Studios wouldn’t feel the need to ‘pander’ to criticism , and would be resolute in their beliefs for the best way to promote what I think will be a fantastic movie, but I’m keen to hear what you think Sean.
Thanks for your time as always, enjoy the rest of your week and catch you all at discord!

33:58 Michael bradley

Hello Sean,  hope your week is going well.  Just caught the new Captain Marvel trailer and thought is was great.  Do you think the people who say it doesn't show anything would criticize it if it showed too much?

34:57 Alex

Which Fox Marvel character do you think will most likely make  an appearance first in the MCU? And if you had your druthers which Fox Marvel character would you have make an  appearance first?  For me, I think the Fox character that will most likely appear in the MCU first will be  Norrin Radd (a.k.a The Silver Surfer) in a post-credit scene for the Eternals and the Fox character I most want to appear in the MCU first is either Doctor  Doom or Wolverine.

37:25 Alex

Which Fox-Marvel character are you least excited about Marvel getting the rights back to? For me its the Merc-With-the-Mouth himself.  Not a big fan.  Unlike serious characters  like Fantastic Four & the X-Men I really don't see  a mostly comedic character like Wade Wilson adding much to Feige's universe besides a potential  F-bomb here and there.  I gotta be honest Sean, I'd rather Marvel not touch Deadpool at all.  What's your thoughts?

39:51 Woo S! Kim

I have been attempting to keep this quiet just because I did not have the time nor did I want the internet to jump all over me with this question, I would be lying to say I was not disappointed that “Black Panther” not did win a Best Picture Golden Globe on January the 6th, but I have to say and this is not a knock on the cast and or the crew of “Bohemian Rhapsody” but I would not feel as disappointed if “A Star is Born” won.  My point is, Sean do you agree that “Bohemian Rhapsody” was not the Best Picture Drama of The Year, why or why not?

44:00 Woo S! Kim

I thought as did you, on the January 7th “Daily Bugle,” it was a classy response what Kevin Feige told MTV News, about James Gunn and his potential future with the DCEU, I have a new level of respect for Feige because I have not spoken about this in awhile, no matter where one stands on the termination of James Gunn in 2018, that whole situation was so moronic and so unnecessary on a lot of different levels and I do a pretty good job of reading people as do you, Sean, I believe Feige truly wishes James Gunn the best and wishes circumstances could be different.  I also  find it ironic that Feige’s words almost echoed yours when it came to all of the Marvel characters that Marvel Studios gets to play with in their metaphorical sandbox, who knows maybe they have a couple real ones in the offices, but from what I can tell from Feige’s face is that the reason he is sticking around is that I think he realizes he has a dream job and I like you, wouldn’t blame him, if I wanted to go revive the Stark Trek film franchise, if he wanted too or anything else.  However, from how passionate his tone of voice was when he talked about being in and around Marvel Studios for two decades and I just get the sense that Feige feels his work with Marvel Studios is not done until he finally does get majority producing control over the X-Men characters and Marvel’s First Family and their characters, also dare I say bringing Spidery 110% home to Marvel, am I reading too much into this Sean or do you concur with me?

48:41 Tom DeMichele

Hey Sean, I noticed you didn’t comment on the supposed “retcon” that the Mind Stone amplified Loki’s hatred. I personally don’t think this information is a big deal, as it’s implied that the Scepter has a similar effect on the Avengers during their argument in the Hellicarrier lab. I’m glad you didn’t deem this worthy of an article, but just for the hell of it, what do you make of this info and the internet’s reaction to it?

54:12 Brett Heier

Hi Sean! In one of the new marvel encyclopedia books, they say that Loki’s scepter didn’t give Wanda and Pietro their powers, but it awakened something inside them. Do you think this is a way to retcon Wanda and Pietro’s backstory to make them mutants? Also, is Wanda a mutant in the comics? Or is she just a witch? Finally, do you think that Quicksilver will ever come back? As always, thanks for having two great podcasts, marvel and Star Wars.

56:55 Seth Goslin

Hi Sean! I was watching the new Captain Marvel footage and it got me thinking. It seems like we've spent time and speculation on why wouldn't Nick Fury have reached out to Captain Marvel before in the face of other threats to earth. This line of thinking says that Carol doesn't know what's happening on earth. But what if Nick has been reaching out to her, consulting with her and keeping her updated? He had very little time to respond to the events of infinity war but it seems like he would have time in at least some of the previous situations. Nick says that Carol is just the beginning. Maybe they've been mutually putting trust in the emerging heroes. Nick doesn't seem like the type to cry wolf anyway. What do you think about the idea that Carol has been in touch with the happenings on Earth?

59:15 Alex Ward

Hi Sean! I had to rescind some of my originally planned questions because I think I may have spoiled myself to the point that I may know too much now. The spoilers I stumbled across online could easily be fake, but I don't wanna risk it. However, these questions should be pretty safe and have nothing to do with whatever probably-fake spoilers I read:

1) Do you think Carol will actually use the name "Captain Marvel" in the movie? I know movies can be a bit tepid around superhero names sometimes, especially more general ones like "Captain Marvel."

1:01:06 Alex Ward

2) (I know I've brought this up before, but it was within the context of a comment rather than a direct question; feel free to skip this one if you want/need to!) I know fans like us are used to it, but do you think Marvel Studios will acknowledge the fact, either in the film or during press, that "Marvel" is both part of the title of the movie, and the name of the company itself? It must be at least somewhat intriguing to a general audience, almost as if Warner Bros put out a movie called "The Warner Brothers."

1:02:28 Alex Ward

3) Is there any chance Mar-Vell isn't in this movie at all?

1:03:43 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

Favorite Spider-Man moment (not necessarily a SM the character moment) in each SM film?

Sean answers your Marvel questions!

00:36 Brian White

Hi Sean. New Patron here. I am very curious in Avengers: Infinity War what became of half of the Asgardians. Thor pretty clearly states that Thanos and his Children murdered half of the Asgardians but they were all on that ship that Loki and Korg brought to Asgard from Sakaar. I've watched the movie several times and all I see is the ship being destroyed. Thanos did not have the Space Stone yet so do we assume that the Asgardians conceded to being transported somewhere on a ship that Thanos provides for them?

02:34 Tom DeMichele

Hey Sean and Patrons! First just wanna say I’m loving Discord and it’s been fun connecting with you all. Thanks for cultivating this awesome community Sean!

As was said on the Mid-week, we’re looking forward to a Tony-and-Cap reunion as well as encounters between many other characters. If/when the Snapped characters return, do you foresee a Tony-and-Bucky encounter? How might the next interaction between these two play out? I assume they’re both going to make it out of Endgame alive, so I do foresee their dynamic being resolved or at least revisited in some way.

05:45 Woo S! Kim

It’s hilarious to me, how many of my questions have come out of the “Avengers: Infinity War” Roundtable discussion.  Something that everyone of the directors has talked about is the willing of the general audience and the geek audience and it took a bit of time, for the non geek audience, but not much to realize for example Doctor Strange is very different from Spider-Man, which is very different from Guardians of The Galaxy, but they all of them took time place in a larger universe as we True Believers know.  I, myself when I was young child didn’t have a comic book shop near me, my point and my question to you Sean, is do you think that one of the keys to success of Marvel Studios for the last decade and going forward is that going to a Regal or a Cinemark watching all these films is the modern equivalent of going to your local comic book shop and getting sucked into what’s going on with Ant-Man and The Wasp or Daredevil this week and wondering with great anticipation of what’s going to happen with the next issue in three weeks?  Is this apt comparison?

09:32 Woo S! Kim

I recently heard on my buddy’s YouTube channel that when Adam McKay met with Kevin Fiege, I don’t know if it was McKay, but in my view, this had to be him because I don’t think Feige would bring up this I.P. knowing the issues Feige had with this I.P. with Ike Perlmutter, Adam McKay said that in his meeting with Feige; The Inhumans was brought up in conversation, I have a lot of respect for Adam McKay, I thought he was a great writer on “Saturday Night Live,” I am not saying tomorrow or even in twelve months and I know this would not be your first choice for Mr. McKay, but do you think “Inhumans” on Disney Plus and Adam McKay as an executive producer and or Show-runner would be a good back door intro to Marvel’s First Family or a good companion series when Fantastic Four makes their Marvel Cinematic Universe film debut why or why not?

12:10 Alex

Do you think the way to differentiate the  MCU Charles Xavier from the Fox versions is to make the character a little less sagacious and a little more  morally ambiguous? I like the Patrick Stewart version a lot but he kind of made Xavier a lot more likable and preachy than the controlling, strict, and demanding figure from the comics. You may disagree with my assessment of the comics character Sean, but I’ve read multiple X-Men comics and Xavier has always come across a bit of a jerk.  Which I kind of like since it makes him more flawed than the all-knowing, warm, self-righteous character that tends to give long-winded morality speeches  that both Stewart and McaVoy  have portrayed in the past.     

14:21 Alex

Do you think 2018 was the best year ever  for Spider-Man? Spider-Man was in  Infinity War which was a hit, Spider-Man had a ultra successful videogame as well as an extremely well-received movie which is now considered another game-changer for animation as well as the rest of the superhero genre.  I think 2002(the year the very first live-action Spider-Man movie was released in theaters) has been surpassed by a pretty large margin as the most important and best  year for the character.

16:04 Brandon Coleman

First off, Happy New Year Sean and all others members! What Marvel comics are you currently reading? I’ve recently got deep into the current Fantastic Four and Captain America runs by Dan Slott and Ta-Nehisi Coates. I also really like the 1st issue of Miles Morales: Spider-Man. I recently started buying the comic issues and using the digital codes to read them on my phone. I was wondering what you would recommend to add to my current reading? Thank you and I look forward to your answer.

17:54 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

Hi Sean and all my fellow Patrons!
Do you think we will ever get a Black Cat in a Spider-Man film? I remember for ASM2 it was rumored that Felicity Jones was apparently supposed to play her but idk. Would you like to see that and if so who would you like to see play her?

19:23 Hector Giovanni Navarrete

Do you think Thor will feel "emasculated" when Carol shows up to AE or will he be welcoming/glad since he says, "There's nothing wrong with women, of course, I like women. Sometimes a little too much. Not in a creepy way, just more like a respectful appreciation."? Would you like to see any fun banter between these 2?

20:58 Alex

The president recently said that he's willing to let the government shutdown go on for months, if not years.  If the shutdown  does indeed go on for that along then  can see you see this preventing the ability for the  Disney/Fox deal to close in anyway?

22:03 Alex Ward

Hey Sean! First of all, I'm loving the Discord so far. It's awesome to be able to engage with everyone about the shows and geek out about Marvel! I was just wondering if you thought it worth speculating that Marvel Games is working on a Fantastic Four game; they recently updated their logo to use a "4" for the "G" in "Games", but it doesn't look especially like a Fantastic Four logo.

24:31 Alex Ward

I also wanted to ask about being proud of your fandom. You mention wearing Marvel shirts and hats, showing your marvel room when you have company over, watching Iron Man 3 as a yearly tree decorating tradition, etc., but maybe it's my friends just having no "nerdy" interests, but I always feel ashamed (maybe that's not the right word) about showing my Marvel pride or even getting nerdy stuff for Christmas, and the idea of getting my girlfriend to watch a Marvel movie unless it's in theaters is almost impossible. Not to make this a Dear Abby question, but did you ever have similar struggles embracing your fandom, and if so, how'd you learn to embrace it? Was it making connections through podcasts and social media? It's been a little helpful me to think about the fact that my friends nerd out about sports and music all the time just like I do for Marvel, but for some reason that's more socially acceptable. Again, it could just be my friends, so maybe being in the Discord community will help me embrace all this!

33:43 Alex Ward

Oh, and one more thing: are we getting close to, or are we already at, the point where interests in superheroes isn't nerdy anymore, but instead, dare I say it, cool?

37:05 Michael bradley

Hello Sean. In a previous Q &  A You talked about your favorite seasons of superhero  TV. I was wondering what are some of the ones you consider  bad. Everyone can say Inhumans and Iron Fist season 1, but do you have any others?  The season 4 of Arrow almost made me stop watching the show. And Arrow is my favorite CW show.

38:38 Michael Louis Weaselboy

Hey Sean how is your weekend going?? My question is, how would you do a venom sequel with Tom Hollands Spiderman in the mix. I know you hate Venom but I heard Marvel might have to let Holland appear in the sequel for the Sony/Marvel deal to keep working. Thoughts?
