while Kevin Feige might have successfully separated himself from
Marvel's comics and TV divisions like a boss he still drawn us heavily from the
classic stories that originated on the page stories which fueled his own fandom
a fandom which ultimately fueled his mega success and so far in the movies
he's done to varying degrees of accuracy and depth demon in a bottle the Winter
Soldier Ultron Civil War Planet Hulk and
infinity war good stuff yes these are the classic comic book events that have
helped lay the foundation for the MCU so far so as we are about to enter phase 4
which remains largely a mystery with only five films officially on deck here
are my picks for the other great comic book events the MCU should draw on next
and warning there are infinity war spoilers ahead what's taking you so long
to see it didn't you listen to the ad campaign you have to see it the first
time at least as soon as possible alright so anyway first off the
storyline that's been taunting us for quite some time now the death of Captain
America when's he gonna bite it right he was supposed to die in the aftermath of
civil war but now then we thought you might perish an infinity war but no
still alive much to the annoyance I'm sure of sebastian stan and anthony
mackie who are waiting in the wings to pick up the mantle now some of you might
be like grace why the heck would you want to bury those beautiful biceps well
first off this is comics he's gonna come back right and as a carrot for you
Marvel fans who are so aggressive against the DC EU this would be a
fantastic opportunity to show them off right because the MCU could succeed
where the DC EU failed so spectacularly and that's the adaptation of The Death
of Superman storyline someone recently pointed out to me the parallels between
Chris Evans Captain America and what Superman is supposed to be and I do
think the Captain America has talked about assuming Mantle's has assumed that
that mantle for America today right but at all serious
to allow cap to make the ultimate sacrifice to get even more of a halo
over his head right plus a sweet death scene and return scene imagine the
applause and the theater for that one right every time I've seen infinity war
the biggest round of applause has been for caps first emergence on screen it's
amazing it's a phenomenon it should it should it should be reward with this how
can you deny Chris Evans and his fans that storyline so I think that would be
great and again he's gonna come back so don't worry about it
next how when you introduce the shape-shifting Scrolls and the 90s no
less with the Captain Marvel movie and not do Secret Invasion I thought they
were gonna tease it an infinity war but I can respect they want to finish that
storyline first but it's got to be waiting you know also speaking of
waiting in the wings it's you know Feige must just be waiting to pull that
trigger cuz he's you know he's taking aim you have a set of aliens with the
powers and now the time to set their nefarious plans in motion
for those who you aren't familiar with Secret Invasion the name of the story
isn't as descriptive as the death of Captain America but basically it's where
shape-shifting aliens infiltrated the earth governments and also you know
superhero teams like the Avengers and you know took the place you know
because they're shapeshifters and took the place waiting to strike which they
did in secret invasion to reveal themselves great story great great story
because think about it didn't you enjoy all the scenes in the x-men movies where
mystique masqueraded as someone else while imagine that on a cinematic
universe wide-scale yes here the characters don't turn to ash they turn
evil oh what's so good wouldn't that be delicious fun not just for the fans but
for the actors as well Oh acting right that's the great thing about
shape-shifting characters it requires tremendous acting on the part of the
cache because sometimes it's just a look or when they turn a corner to sell that
I mean in the x-men they cheated a little bit with like the eyes would go
yellow for a second but I have faith in the Marvel actors that they could do it
Secret Invasion in fact could play out over an entire phase of movies plus it
would compel fans to revisit all the former MCU movies once you know certain
characters are revealed as Scrolls that would be so good which makes it a sweet
business decision to boot I mean if you liked playing who's gonna die you're
gonna have even more fun playing who's a scroll then finally my third
recommendation for a storyline is the House of M now that's a tough one to do
with that the x-men because Wanda can't utter no more mutants if there are no
mutants but she could easily utter no more heroes instead I really like this
one I really did a good job reimagining it so imagine an alternate reality
thanks to Wanda's nervous breakdown where cap didn't take the Super Soldier
Serum but you know he could still be alive you know Peggy didn't quite you
know go the distance she went pretty darn far but I'm you know cap took care
of himself right so you know he could still be there Tony didn't have a crisis
of conscience and was still a weapons dealer right the war didn't come down
from Asgard Peter Parker just a regular student never bitten by a spider and so
on what would everyone be like how would they still potentially come into contact
with each other that's the kind of stuff comic book fans live for and I think
that for those of you who only watch the movies you would enjoy it as well it's a
fascinating group of ideas to explore again for both the fans and the actors
and you know who else would still be alive in that scenario Pietro so it's
beautiful I mean come on why make Wanda slightly unhinged in several movies to
date if he's not going to eventually get totally unhinged now in the comics only
Wolverine because of course it was Wolverine right he was the he's like for
those of you who don't read comics he's kind of like the Robert Downey jr. of
Marvel Comics but anyway only Wolverine knew what Wanda had done that she had
altered reality and he knew what things were supposed to be like but here that
role could easily and delightfully be filled by dr. Stephen strange who held
his own very well in Avengers infinity war with the group and hey we could even
throw along in there too because Chyna Doctor Strange too could be House of M
or it could lead into it finally I do realize as I'm sure
you have already typed down below that there are lots of x-men related stories
that could be done here in addition but I think it's too early to speculate on
what foggy will do with the x-men once he gets and if he gets I think the
government's going to approve it but let's wait for that deal to be done and
to get a little bit better of an idea of what Mikey actually plans to do we'll
discuss more though when Deadpool 2 hits theaters shortly so when it comes to
just the MCU do you want to see the death of Captain America Secret Invasion
or the house of M maybe you want to see all three of them I should do but which
one would you prioritize I think that I'm really into Secret Invasion I think
that's the simplest one to do but I like the House of M one as well and Wanda
certainly has her fans even though the MCU seems to refuse to acknowledge that
okay so share your thoughts down below I look forward to continuing this
discussion in the comment section and of course as always you can check out some
more videos right now
