Marvel Cinematic Universe

is kinda what I meant. I'll also say that there are still appreciable differences between MCU!Peter and Comic!Miles, like Miles having a bigger living family.

EDIT:on similarities/differences between Peter Parker's portrayal in the MCU and Miles' characterization in the mainline comics

Ehhh, maybe? It still strikes me as very different considering Ultimate Peter died right as Miles met him while Tony was a living and active presence in MCU Peter's life for several years, supplying him with missions and upgrades and the like.

Yeah Miles was very independent at the start of his career. He was more alone & had to do everything by himself with his only ally being Ganke who was just there for moral support.

This is very different from MCU Peter basically having the backing of Tony Stark and the Avengers.

I thought Ultimate Peter was a couple years older than Miles

Because Miles gets a time skip of a year or so after his mom dies that gets him closer to the age Peter started at

Ultimate Peter was 16 when he died, Miles was 13. I don't remember how old 616 Peter was when he met Miles, but I feel fairly confident in saying he was in his 20s.

Ok, I will concede that there is less in common between the two then I thought there was. I've only read the first arc and a half of Bendis' initial run and a few years ago at that. Sorry for misrembering.

I think canonically he was around 28, or at least he was soon after Spider-Men (I remember that being the age given in Superior in some issue or another).

Marvel has tapped puertorrican director Alejandra Lopez for a future project.

White Tiger, then.

Letitia Wright spoke a little about Black Panther 2.

TL;DR: It still hurts not having Chadwick around, so BP2 is the LAST thing they're thinking about.

Stupid cancer...

Or Mac Chavez. She landed in the 616 in a Puerto Rican family...

Getting a Puerto Rican director doesn’t necessarily mean she would be directing a movie about a Puerto Rican character. Isn’t that a bit...limiting?

Looking at the demographic makeup of prior Marvel directors and which characters’ stories they get to handle, it’s a pretty safe bet.

Okay, point taken.

I had no idea Thor Ragnarok was about the adventures of a Maori/Jewish man.

You know, some translations of the Moses story have the second Plague be one singular frog, not a whole bunch of them. Frog-Thor was unleashed on ancient Egypt.

Okay, now someone make a joke about the Maori half.

Someone on Reddit suggested Alejandra Lopez was doing something regarding Miles Morales, but I take it any kind of project even slightly associated with Spider-Man have to be with Sony?

Between the Covid-induced pause on projects and all the stuff Marvel has on the relatively early stages, speculating right now is pretty unlikely to get anywhere.

I frankly have the feeling she'll just direct some episodes for some Disney+ shows (She-Hulk most likely).

I don't think Marvel would have left her do a announcement just like that if it were a movie.

I wonder what the plans are for Zemo. The original comic character was essentially the prototype for every Saturday morning cartoon villain with a private army (most notably Cobra Commander) but he did everything in Civil War alone. With Agents of SHIELD non-canon now and forever, I wonder if he will get his own private army.

Agents of Shield isn’t non canon...yet.

Yeah, know it probably is due to circumstances beyond their control, but honestly, only the last two seasons could really be called non canon due to ignoring the snap.

It's completely uncanon down to it's bones. The only people that exist are in the movies, nowhere else. It's all just one big magic trick, meant to waste our time.

I figure it would have to be rendered non-canon given its viewership levels and the disconnect.

So, do you think we'll get a Truer to the Text Zemo?

IIRC, we've seen him in something closer to his comics costume in promo photos or on set or something.

As for personality wise, I don't know if we'll get quite to that point. There's so many key differences in Zemo's motivations.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. starting with Season 6 at least no longer fits the timeline. Before that, it ran parallel just fine, but outright ignoring the Snap isn't something that can be glossed over.

Speaking of Zemo - or more specifically the Thunderbolts - I wonder if we're ever going to get Justine Hammer or Sasha Hammer in the MCU. Iron Man 2 kind of kiboshed the idea of Justin and HammerTech as threats, but his daughter and granddaughter have so little to do with him conceptually (they're basically completely separate character groups that share a surname at this point) that I'd love to see them regardless, even if they're retconned into not being related to him.

Agents of SHIELD has always been very close to throwing out the rest of the universe anyway, it's just that the last season made it more explicit. I still remember how they insisted the heroes completely wiped out HYDRA, only to have to retcon it into only part of HYDRA when HYDRA reappeared in Ant-Man, then to do the same plot again and insist that HYDRA is totes completely destroyed guys.

Or their whole "Inhumans are being made all throughout the world, people with powers are everywhere!" bit, which the movies completely ignored (granted, that I think is something they should have made explicit, since imo for too long the MCU was way smaller and had far less worldbuilding than it should have).
