Welcome back everyone
it's Charlie
A lot of you been asking me about the news that Marvel is going to reboot
the entire MCU with Avengers 6 secret wars, and
It's true
It won't be exactly what people are expecting from a traditional reboot,
but we'll explain
what's going on and how everything's going to change going forward.
I also think that Marvel is on this journey
now of they're trying a bunch of other stuff and it lets,
you know, I'm excited for them to see how all that goes and it's hard
to it's hard to project, If you're brand new to the channel,
be sure to subscribe to get all the videos.
Loki Season two episodes are starting soon and I'll be doing weekly Ahsoka
episode videos too.
Starting this week, they also just announced
that they're finally releasing Blu rays of all the Disney
Plus shows for Marvel and Star Wars.
So I'll probably give some of those away during my weekly episode videos
you probably seen the MCU reboot news or her people talking about it.
It's not a huge surprise and it had to happen eventually.
As much as I would love to see all the actors
play their characters like 50 years or do like 20 more Iron Man movies
with Robert Downey Jr,
there was no way that the movies in real life could work like the comic books do,
Like the comic book.
Characters don't age the same way.
They don't get increasing salaries with every movie.
So eventually just doesn't become completely impractical well.
Kevin Baggy and Marvel's Loose Plan is right now
and I say loose plan because they're known to change things on the fly.
David Harbor, who plays Ray Guardian, he's coming back in thunderbolts
said that when they were filming the Black Widow
movie Marvel completely changed the third act of the movie.
Like the plot, everything that happened while they were actually filming it.
Originally, it was a totally different movie.
that's why you've been seeing all these deleted scenes
from all these separate movies.
You've been hearing all these stories
about alternate storylines from all the Marvel movies,
and they do that for every single movie.
One of the exceptions, though, is like James Gunn's
Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
Now he changes things, but he usually goes into movies
with a clear idea for what the script is going to be
at the beginning, middle and end of the movie.
most of the other Marvel movies get a completely new script.
By the time the movie is done.
this is one of the reasons why you saw the visual effects artists at Marvel form
a union this year.
And it's
because Marvel changes their movies so much while they're in the middle
of shooting them.
It it means the visual effects artists
basically have to go without sleep for a year or more.
If it's an Avengers movie, just because those are so much bigger
than regular Marvel movies.
Right.
Now, Kevin, Bucky is using Avengers six Secret Wars to pull a soft reboot.
I say soft reboot on the entire MCU.
It's going to be based on the ending from the more recent comic book Secret Wars.
lot of people have been expecting them to do this.
It won't be quite as big a surprise during that storyline, God Emperor
Doom took the power of the billionaires who had started
destroying the multiverse by causing incursions.
Sounds familiar to what's happening in the MCU right now.
after he and Doctor Strange managed to defeat them.
He combines the remnants of the last
remaining universes together to form a single plan and save as many
survivors from the multiverse as possible, creating what they call Battle world
one world for the entire multiverse as you would expect.
He goes full Dr.
Doom and rules over it like a God getting everyone to worship him.
Eventually, the surviving heroes learn what's happened.
In order to fix the multiverse, they have to defeat him.
And once they do, Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four
use Franklin Richards unique powers to recreate the entire multiverse
one universe at a time They mentioned Franklin Richards during
Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness, like his son, quote unquote.
The whole idea is that Franklin
Richards is one of the most powerful or overpowered characters in Marvel.
He has the ability to create entire universes in his mind.
Just to give you an idea of how he is, Galactus eventually becomes
the Herald of Franklin Richards but Marvel used this time in the comics
as a jumping off point for all their titles, changing storylines,
characters, restarting characters, combining characters
from different universes, basically the all new, all different era.
And that's kind of what Marvel Studios is doing with the MCU
just to give you an idea in the comics, that's when Miles Morales came
to the 616 universe with the main version of Peter Parker's Spider-Man.
They rebooted Iron Man. Dr.
Doom briefly became a version of Iron Man in the infamous Dr.
Doom.
The new Avengers team formed with Miles Morales on it, Doc and Captain America
bunch of other characters.
the Eighth Cosmos was born like the living embodiment of the multiverse.
All reality.
The original comics going back to like the 1960s and earlier in real life
was when most of these characters were created.
They'd all been living
in the seventh version of the multiverse, the seventh Cosmos.
So Kevin Feige and Marvel are essentially doing something similar
where Avengers 5 Kang
Dynasty will be like the New Avengers versus the Council of Kangs.
They teased that in the Ant-Man and the WASP Quantumania Post-Credits scene.
the whole idea is that the new Avengers are meant to lose that fight
because the Kangs will be too powerful,
like they'll get their asses handed to them.
but a more powerful beyond or variant of Kang or some kind of beyond
or type of character is supposed to return and destroy the Council of Kangs
in collapse the multiverse the rest of the way They'll be left
with a version of Battle World in a movie version of Avengers six Secret Wars.
That's kind of what they're getting, too, with the second version
of the Kang Multiverse War and all of this talk
that Loki is doing in the Loki season two trailer,
the movie version of Secret Wars.
It's supposed to be a combination of the original 1980 secret wars
and the more modern version,
with some changes obviously to account for all the different characters
and things that they want to change in real life
Most of the characters who survive the destruction of the multiverse
in Avengers five will be like the legacy actors from the Marvel movies.
The X-Men movies like Hugh Jackman's Wolverine,
Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield, Spider-Man.
So on in Doctor Strange.
We'll have to assemble a multiverse team of Avengers
to defeat whoever this beyond or Kang variant winds up being.
that's why you probably heard about Andrew Garfield coming back during Secret Wars.
Hugh Jackman coming back, Patrick Stewart coming back as a version of Professor X.
Like all of these legacy actors
coming back for a final swansong in a big Avengers crossover movie,
that's what we mean when we say
having a big swansong, going out for all these legacy Fox Marvel characters
and they defeat that beyond Earth, then they remake the multiverse
in a similar way from the comic book Secret Wars.
But here's where the soft reboot comes in.
The loose plan right now is that they recreate the main
Marvel universe like the 616 universe, but it'll be a little bit different
from before, and it'll be truer to the comic book.
616 universe, the way that it looked with all the different characters
coexisting the whole time on the same earth.
the changes they make. We'll explain that.
The Fantastic Four, the X-Men mutant characters, all the Marvel characters have
always existed on the same universe Earth, except for some space based characters.
Obviously.
So the reason he's doing this should be obvious.
Kevin Vega,
up to this point, hasn't had access to all of Marvel's characters for years.
Going back to the first Avengers movie Marvel Phase one,
Kevin Biggie had always been trying to get all of these characters
to crossover movies, but for legal reasons, copyright.
He just couldn't get Sony and Fox to agree to do that.
probably the best example of that is this deleted Iron Man
Post-Credits scene where Nick Fury references Spider-Man
in the X-Men Crossing over with that first Avengers movie.
as if gamma accidents, radioactive bug bites and assorted mutants weren't enough,
I have to deal with a spoiled brat.
Doesn't play well with others, and wants to keep all his toys to himself.
Who the hell are you?
Nick Fury,
So the idea is that Kevin Feige had never been able to pull off
all those crossovers for a number of different reasons.
It was just too difficult, too much bureaucracy,
But now Marvel has all their characters back.
There's no more bureaucracy the Kevin Baggage has to deal with anymore.
He can do whatever he wants with all the characters.
Anybody can crossover with anybody.
Now, the easiest way to reconcile that Eternals question it all goes
back to that.
Why weren't the Turtles in Avengers Endgame?
How have all these characters
from all these different lives like Fantastic Four, X-Men
Avengers characters who are supposed to be so important, have always been there,
but we're just learning that some of them exist ten or 15 years later,
and they were never around for the major Avengers battles before.
you do a soft reboot and just play things like they always have been here
and restart a lot of things.
It gives Marvel the opportunity to recast characters if they one is what
they just retooled their back stories.
However they need to, Now.
Just to be clear, they're not recasting everyone, only
some of the characters in in the comic book version, The Secret Wars reboot.
Some of the characters did remember the the previous version of the universe
and everything that came before in the comics. It was Black Panther.
But in real life, Chadwick Boseman passed away.
May he rest in peace.
So my only theory right now is that Reed Richards, in at least
some of the other characters, will remember everything from before.
that explains how they introduce a new version of the MCU.
Fantastic for the next couple of years and released their movie by 2025.
And those actors still play the characters after the soft reboot.
same with characters like Shang.
She some of the other brand new characters from the multiverse saga Phase four
or five and six.
Some characters they'll introduce in the next couple of years before Secret Wars.
They're not going to immediately recast those people.
for the legacy characters like the big guys.
Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man. Chris Evans, Captain America.
They'll just say that the original sacred timeline that they come from the Infinity
Saga timeline, which they clarified in Loki
like that original Infinity saga takes place in the sacred timeline.
Before the timeline rebooted.
They'll say that they still exist in a separate universe
so that those actors can always come back if they want to like ten or 20 years.
Like never say never. People can always come back.
They did the same thing with the Spider-Man character.
They rebooted Spider-Man so many times in such a short timespan,
but then they found a way to logically bring those legacy actors back.
Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire.
So they'll do the same thing in the future with other characters
just saying that they're from other universes.
So just to be clear.
Kevin Five years and totally getting rid of everyone
or just like wiping the slate clean and saying that these previous
Marvel movies never happened or anything like that.
He just recreated the main Marvel universe
that looks a little bit more like the truer 616 Marvel Universe
with all their characters together so that everything
just makes a little more sense with the characters and stories going forward.
And so the newer viewers who are just starting
with the Marvel movies and shows don't have to watch like 50 movies,
just understand what's going on in the next movie, which a lot of people
have started to complain about more and more I believe.
Maybe I'm optimistic.
I understand Marvel.
They've got Avengers, they've got a lot of big things going on,
but at some point I just find it almost impossible.
There's not a way to bring.
Imagine all the Avengers characters, you know, Wolverine,
the X-Men characters, Spider-Man, and somehow get them in together.
But before they do that, he wants to have one final hurrah
with all the legacy actors, mostly Fox Marvel characters.
But you get the idea.
Everybody comes back, they have a giant part, a giant crossover going out.
And then he recreates everything, returns things
so that everything just makes more sense going forward.
Here's the billion dollar question, though.
Let me know in the comments.
If Marvel does introduce new versions of preexisting main characters
who either have totally retired, passed away, don't want to come back,
who do you want them to recast the easiest picks are all the core X-Men characters,
just because none of them
have been introduced in the main MCU universe yet, or with new versions.
Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, for example, who's coming back in Deadpool
three, is like a completely separate universe version of the character,
In fact, Ryan Reynolds is one of the only main mutant based characters
from the Fox Marvel movies who will probably
still remember his original X-Men universe in the new version.
This timeline.
so the whole idea is that Kevin Vega is planning the cosmic version
of fixing the multiverse by turning it off and turning it back on again.
Unplug it and plug it back in.
Basically completely answers the question of how do new viewers in like
the next ten years get into Marvel movies
without having to know all the canon that preexisting in the Infinity saga?
whatever winds up happening, of course, they'll do videos for it.
Big reminder, my Ahsoka Episode one video we'll post Tuesday night.
Episode two We'll post on Tuesday morning.
All the Loki season two stuff will start after Ahsoka.
Okay, episodes are done.
Everyone click here for that new Dr.
Strange 3 announcement. What's going on with that storyline?
And click here for all my brand new Deadpool 3 video

Thank you so much for watching.
Everyone stay safe and I'll see you guys in the next one!
