Marvel Cinematic Universe | We had a good run, and now it's over

Man, I keep looking at the professor hulk scenes and thinking despite Bruce's lines of "I thought he was a disease, but he was actually the cure" and "best of both worlds" lines, he basically murdered the hulk personality.
I only found out about it because I was reading about Miles and his Uncle on Wikipedia after seeing Spider-Verse and it mentioned that his uncle had been played by Donald Glover in the MCU.
I was like, "Wait... What?"
Yeah, I got that from Wikipedia too. I knew about Miles in the vague sense that he's a black hispanic teenager who becomes an iteration of Spider-Man, but at that point I didn't realize he and Peter were part of the same continuity. It's a very cool Easter egg in the film. More recently I watched Into the Spiderverse, which isn't bad.
I'm not a fan of adult Spider-Man to be honest. I mean as a character I only know of him as that liminal character, the man-boy learning to live with the weird crap adolescence does to the male body and mind. But in general I enjoyed seeing Spiderverse, because we get so much more of that. Even if I do get a bit freaked out by those scary intimations of adult disillusion. That's very dark stuff.
I sort of understand Mary Jane in the Raimi universe. She's a fairly obvious Lois Lane analogue. MJ in the MCU seems a bit more interesting to me, mainly because she's a friend of Peter without being saddled with the girlfriend role so far (I haven't yet seen Far from Home.) Does the MCU need Spider-Man to have a girlfriend? Does it even need him to be heterosexual?
I liked MJ in the comics but after one movie she's already more interesting than standard MJ.
That seems so weird to me. Its like they left themselves an out if there was a fan backlash or something.
They should just accept that there'd be backlash (and there was anyway). They should just stick to their guns because as the past several years have shown, those bigots who make a stink about "forced diversity" will end up spending the money on nerd culture anyway. Those anti-SJW types don't have the principles to act out a potent boycott in the first place. Black Panther and Captain Marvel still made money despite the deluge of bullshit from bigoted nerds. These companies need to internalized that and stay the course on making diversity a priority.
I don't believe it
They could have cast Zendaya as Mary Jane Watson too though.
She could just change her name to Mary Jane Watson if they decide to take the story in that direction. But why do we care? Zendaya is hilarious in the role as written.
I want to believe he will be featured in an after credits scene teasing Sinister Six
It's an in-joke. Yes, Far From Home is officially the last film scheduled for Phase 3.
We had people arguing last OT that Ant-Man was the first movie of Phase 3
In light of tonight's episode of Game of Thrones, I just really wanna say how much I'm thankful for EG being such a satisfying conclusion.
That's the joke.
That's the joke.

I wonder if long term prisoners who got snapped have five less years to serve after coming back.
There was an article from one of the trades the day after Endgame premiered in the US that I remembered covered that.
What if some were returned outside the prison by accident? Like they were on a prison bus during a transfer and were plopped back on the road where they disappeared?
Of course there won't be.
She's MJ. They changed her name or whatever, but she's her.
This is 100% gonna end up a thing, prolly in a Spidey flick 😂

That could legit be a Sinister Six group origin story.
Sort of off topic, but I didn't know where to ask this.
If you were going to team up Eddie Brock Venom with another super hero and have abilities that would work well with Venom's abilities, who would it be?

feels like it will with all the momentum coming off endgame. homecoming did $880m, I figure the endgame bump will be enough to put it over the top.
Rewatching Infinity War and there's a scene on Titan when Tony is trying to plan out the strategy with the Guardians for taking down Thanos. I realized it's him trying to act like Captain America in his absence. So many subtleties in the writing of the Russo movies.
I kinda want a flashback to Iron Man 2 in Far From Home when Tony saved Peter when he was a kid.
I know it's canon by word of God but I really don't know if that kid in Iron Man 2 was 10 years old, ha.
That's exactly what I was thinking about. It was an idea that popped into my head when someone asked how Vulture could get out of prison.
Poor helicopter pilot from IW credits scene.
