I hope they come back on the show. Screw it. I liked those characters. Might as well go out with a bang if it's the last season. I think Mockingbird is kind of big character to just disappear the way she did. Who knows though.

I liked Mockingbird overall pretty decently, but was on and off again with Hunter. There were times where I liked his character and times where I really didn't like his character, particularly when the cheese factor got pretty high. Maybe that was the director's fault, maybe it was Hunter's fault. Overall, I never really found him as too imposing of a character, which an Agent of Shield field agent should be. Nevertheless, he is light years better than Agent May still, so count me all-in for killer her off and bringing him back. Back to Mockingbird again, I've always thought she would be a good qualifier to crossover with the movies were they to ever bring Shield back in the movies to some extent. It wouldn't be that hard either as she is simply just another Shield agent. Stand her by Maria Hill on a hellicarrier deck with really no explanation and whabam, you are good to go. It wouldn't be confusing at all to the average moviegoer, but would mean a lot to the TV side and MCU fans like myself.
How do you do this though? One of the key characters in that team is Nova, using the Nova force. The way they portrayed the Nova force in GotG does not work into a Nova character very well. I mean Nova was super-strong, could fly, and even shot eye beams at some point.
I highly doubt they include Nova as I'm sure they are saving him for his own movie someday. He is way too big of a character to get lost in a TV show like this.
I think your right. So Night Thrasher should be in it though, right? He was always a character that I enjoyed.
The following are a bunch of set pics where we get our first look at the Shocker in the new upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming:

There is no doubt that they have taken some liberties with the costume by making it a little more real-life believable, rather than a direct copy and paste from the comics. However, I think it looks pretty good overall. What is your thoughts?

Personally, I'm not super well-versed with the New Warriors characters, but I sure hope they include Night Thrasher as he is pretty BA. Both with the upcoming New Warriors series, as well as The Runaways series, I'll be interested to see exactly what characters and how the origins come into play since they've also got to beat around the Fox Mutants exclusion stuff. I'm just not well-versed enough on any of these characters to know if any are technically Mutants and if so, are they technically owned by Fox or not. As we've seen from a few past Marvel movie characters like Quicksilver, Marvel may be able to use them all, but may just have to alter their origin to not being Mutants.
Don't mind it but they need to keep the style uniform. I am not sure what the timeline for the film is, but if it is post-CW, Spider Man will be rocking a pretty vibrant suit upgrade courtesy of Stark. The costume in those pictures looks kind of dulled by comparison.
The movie is definitely taking place post-Civil War beings how during Comic-Con, there was footage shown where Peter is actually watching recorded video of himself fighting Giant-Man on his cell phone during class. One thing to also consider is that there might be some CGI added on top of Shockers suit that we don't know of similar to what they've done with Black Panther and Spider-Man. For instance, Spider-Man's actual suit he wears for filming looks baggy and terrible in my mind. However, after the effects get added to it, which is quite a bit of effects, I love it. In fact, Tom Holland has joked about how loose fitting the suit he wears is and how it really doesn't look that good. Black Panther's suit also is mostly colored in by CGI as well, which most people would probably never even guess.
Was listening to a podcast the other day where the question was proposed of which is the greater trilogy? The Nolan Dark Knight trilogy (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Dark Knight Returns) or the Captain America trilogy (First Avenger, Winter Soldier, Civil War). Talk about a fun question, and man, talk about a dousey of a question at the same time. Truthfully, I'm still debating it in my mind. At least, here is my thought process:
-Lets rank them all first
1. The Dark Knight
2. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
3. Captain America: Civil War
4. Batman Begins
5. The Dark Knight Returns
6. Captain America: The First Avenger
-Can't say my rankings help me make a decision at all
-So, lets maybe give some more detailed rewards
-Best Overall Character: The Joker
-Best Performance: The Joker
-Who is better at their own character, Batman or Captain America: Chris Evans as Captain America
- Best Fight Scenes: Captain America: Civil War
- The Dark Knight trilogy is the best contained story line, however the Captain America films are great story lines that also do an amazing job of working and setting up a universe (not an easy feat)
- Best hero/heroes: Captain Americas
- Best Villains: Dark Knights
Moral of the story/decision: I still don't know
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!!!

To me, the Dark Knight Trilogy stands out because it is a completely stand alone series. I honestly prefer Marvel comics and the Marvel movies almost every time. Even though the Dark Knight was a comic book movie by definition, it didn't always feel like it. Some of the characters were familiar, but they didn't follow all the typical backstories from the comics.
If you're looking for the best series that fits into the cinematic universe and does a lot to push that universe forward, then Cap wins it.
But I think the Dark Knight trilogy was far superior on its own.
Good take. There is no doubt Nolan went out of his way to make his DC world a VERY grounded universe as compared to its comic counterparts. With that said, there is good things about that strategy, particularly in how well it plays to the mainstream audience, and some things that aren't as good, particularly in how it plays to its die-hard fans. In the end, it was still a very successful well-made trilogy that everyone respects.
On a side note, I think that one big testament to Nolan and his directing ability is that I still don't think people in general loved Bale in the role of Batman, including myself. Sure, he was serviceable, but what it does show is that the success of those movies was based on stuff outside of its main character's star power. A good counterexample would be Guardians of the Galaxy. While it would still be a serviceable movie without Chris Pratt in the lead role, that movie wouldn't have been close to the same without him. His charisma was a lot of the driving force behind that being such a fun movie. Overall, the plot of that movie is pretty meh with a below-average villain.

I'd be surprised if they don't CGI the suit a bunch on the final product, but I don't mind if the villains look a little rougher and grittier since the tones of the movies have gravitated that way. For instance, I always hated how Willem Dafoe's goblin looked like a Halloween costume.
That is tough. They have very different tones. Cap is a likeable and loyal hero, while Batman is the troubled loner that isn't widely liked. The villains in Batman are more ruthless and raw versus calculated and well-financed.
Kinda like Hopp said, Batman does better as a stand-alone trilogy, but that's not what CA was trying to accomplish.
I'd lean slightly in favor of Batman, however the inclusion of Scarlett Johannson in spandex makes this argument ridiculously close.
Fyi... I thought about throwing the Iron Man trilogy into the ring as well, but I just don't consider Iron Man 2 & 3 as good enough to even consider the overall trilogy as on the same playing field. However, Iron Man 1 is legit and easily could be high on that list by itself.
Yeah, I think Iron Man would be 3rd just because 2 and 3 aren't quite as strong. Comparing the other two is really hard. I love both trilogies and they are both great for different reasons.
First look at Ghost Rider from Agents of Shield: Season 4 that is upcoming this fall:
Looks decent I guess so far. Still tough to tell how good it will look in actual live-action, as I'm still skeptical of how good something so CGI-intense will look on a network television budget.

I like them all and I consider DC completely inferior.
It may just be me but all previous Batman movies look ridiculous compared to Nolan.
The world he creates IS the movie despite the far-fetched superhero things.
