I like them all to varying degrees of course.

The highlighted are too low and Winter Soldier, while great, is no way #1.

You must be a pretty big fan of pretty much everything they are doing on TV then beings how those are almost all the ones you highlighted red. Nothing wrong with that.

As for The Winter Soldier being #1, while it isn't a far and away #1, I still stand by that one. Much of the industry agrees on that one too. Everyone is entitled to their opinions though. Civil War would have probably surpassed it if it had a bit better and tighter story line to it. The fun factor was off the scales though for Civil War.
 
??????? That trailer is for a Luke Cage individual series and Luke Cage IS Power Man. Also, there IS going to be an individual Iron Fist series after the Luke Cage one. That is what that Iron Fist Trailer was for.
I think he means a team up series. Like a Heroes For Hire series.
 
Caught Civil War for a hot hot afternoon matinee. Almost empty theater. some people got up and left right at beginning of the credits. Dudes, you missed the bonus scene, there is always a teaser scene!

Winter Soldier for me is easily #1. But I like that genre of story.

Brie Larson -- fantastic casting job by Marvel! I wonder if this means she'll show up in a post-credits scene for GotG 2 or Thor Ragnarok.

Truthfully, I just can't remember much of Brie Larson from any of the few movies I've seen with her in them. I also look at her picture and am just so-so on the casting from that perspective. Nevertheless, she does have an academy award and everyone else seems pretty hyped about her, so I'm going to just take everyone's word for it at this point. I think I'm more bummed simply because a few of the women I was hoping for didn't get it. My #1 was Rebecca Ferguson and my #2 was Emily Blunt.

Apparently, they showed some Spider-Man footage, along with some Thor:Ragnorok and GOTG2 footage. However, none of that stuff will be released to the general public. Of the 3, I would have loved to have seen the Spidey footage.

Emily Blunt probably would have been a good choice. Gillian Jacobs was also on my wishlist, but I guess they're probably saving her so that she could play Squirrel Girl.

I couldn't remember any movies she was in either, until I read her IMDB page and saw that she was in Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I had no idea she was in that, let alone that she was Envy Adam's, so it's nice to know that she has experience in comic book adaptations.
 
What does everyone think of the new Marvel Studios logo clip that will now be ahead of all their movies??



Personally, I like the visuals of it but am not crazy about the music. I'm also pretty partial to the old one.

I love the re-branding. I was watching a trailer for the new Legion TV show on FX, which is based in the X-men universe, and got confused by the "Marvel" logo. I think it's a great move for the MCU and Disney to re-brand those products as "Marvel Studios" similar to how Star Wars and Indiana Jones are "LucasFilm."

I'm sure it is a move to differentiate themselves from the other Marvel movie/TV products out there right now, like those of Fox's X-Men and Fantastic Four, because I'm sure there is still a large section of the viewing audience that has no idea that there is a difference. Sure, this won't immediately enlighten those folks, but it is a step in the right directions towards that.

She is the female version of Adam Warlock.
 
Doctor Strange trailer looks quite good. He's not one of the Marvel characters that I'm very familiar with, so I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.

Yeah, I'm of the same variety where I'll be coming in pretty green. That is okay though, I'll just be along for the ride and hope I end up entertained. I really have no expectations on this one.

There is an animated Dr. Strange movie on Netflix and I thought it was really well done. The animation makes a lot of sense to best display those supernatural elements. I would highly recommend watching that, as it looks like the MCU Dr. Strange is going to have a similar origin story.

I find it fascinating that the new trailer seems to deal a lot with "perception" rather than straight up magic - almost that these powers are still 'grounded' from a physics perspective. I think that will help ease the audience in that this isn't really "hocus pocus" rather than some cross of Theoretical Physics and highly-focused mysticism.
