Great storyline IF we didn't know Robert Downey Jr wasn't playing Doctor Doom. That would be perfect. A storyline could have been made to assume he was Tony Stark without anyone actually calling him Tony.

But now .... we as the audience KNOW who he is and that Doom is a bad guy. We the audience knowing this takes the wind out of everything as we would know something the characters on screen ... don't. That makes for horrible audience viewing.

The show was GREAT until the writer's strike hit between season 1 and season 2. Once that happened it barely recovered the intensity of season 1.

Many character arcs after season 1 were destroyed with incoherency and needless deaths of characters.

Many people stuck with the show in pre Hulu and Netflix days because there was nothing like it during the appointment TV time.

Sorry buddy, both Caps are two of my favorite MCU heroes but neither of them would be able to hold off an attack from Dr. Strange, Scarlett Witch, Vision, nor Captain Marvel. They're at the bottom of any power ranking list against any MCU hero, Ms. Marvel and Ant Man in giant form included.

I think Marvel's problem is not what you think it is. I believe it's fatigue. Not superhero fatigue, but fatigue over the same type of hero power set. And the ones who don't share the same power set aren't compelling characters due to how they're written, with exceptions such as Daredevil, Spiderman, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch, Shang Chi, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Wolverine

We have the super soldier set, the person in a suit set, and the specially trained individual set, and of course the Hulk set.

Marvel comics have a plethora of characters in their portfolio that whose back stories and powers would be blockbusters if they stop with the same ness.

Characters I speak of such as Northstar and Aurora from Alpha Flight, Blue Marvel, Wonder Man, Moon Knight, Blade, and others need to be brought into the forefeont. The MCU seemingly only considers Avengers and X-Men characters and their s when there is so much more to capitalize on what is existing while adding fresh and new

Think of it realistically. Literally the only ones who could have helped Wanda through her grief were Sam and Clint. And eventually their attention was diverted to ther matters.

At this point in the MCU, it doesn't make sense to NOT have more cameos as many characters know each other.

When larger events occur a cameo in the form of at least a call makes perfect sense when characters know each other. If multiple operate in the same vicinity it's odd when there's no presence.

For example because of Wilson Fisk's mandate of no vigilantes, a conversation should occur or be referenced between Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and The Punisher.

Marvel Studios has an easy Civil War 2 with that story line. Kingpin asks Val for help bringing in Daredevil. Punisher, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist. The New Avengerz are tasked with this mission. Cap and Falcon learn of this and intervene and Peter Parker shows up.

The end result being ALL of the characters becoming the Avengers, minus The Punisher of course.

The drawback or negative aspect of this power is continued usage over time should effect Wally"s mental health, or the possibility of a clone becoming sentient. A clone becoming sentient could have its own motivations, feelings, love, hatred, and etc.

Imagine a clone becoming sentient hating the Justice League who "secretly" replaces Wally on missions because the original Wally is busy with family.

The original Wally doesn't tell his friends this has taken place and the clone, unbeknownst to Wally, subverts mission goals and objectives. Batman eventually discovers this and confronts the original Wally. The result being the Justice League having to take down the clone Flash with the same ability to copy himself.

This could be a DC event The Flash vs. The Justice League.

My guess is Doom will be able traverse the multiverse as well as past, present, and future. Basically he will be Kang and Thanos wrapped into one. This explains why many heroes will be needed to defeat him from respective timelines and their universes.

I think it would be GREAT for Denzel, actually pronounced Den Zul to play Magneto... as a variant.

It would be awesome to have Fassbender as Earth 616 Magneto and Washington as another earth's Magneto.

Both of their stories in how their mutant abilities were awakened could be similar, with Washington's mutant abilities awakening either during the time period of slavery or civil rights in the 60s.

Michael B., is a good actor and could DEFINATELY handle the role, but they need to figure out a way to bring him into the main MCU for good.

It could be something as simple as T'Challa, Bast, and previous Black Panthers allowing Eric to "come back" to write his wrongs in a sort of redemption arc to "earn" his place in the ancestral plane.

As an alternative, Black Panther in another universe could be Michael B. Jordan and he is "brought over" to the MCU much in the same way the Spidermen were brought over to earth 616.

Maybe he was on earth 838 but took a leave of absence of sorts from the illumanti to attend to something in Wakanda because Thanos destroyed it first upon his arrival to earth 838.

TChalla returns to the Illumanti with Earth 838 Tony Stark (use an actor who would have played Tony Stark had not Robert Downey Jr been cast), they learn of their friends' slaughter by Wanda. Alternatively, it could be earth 838 Namor instead.

The heroes use the last of Wakanda tech and either Atlantis or Stark tech or both to travel to 616 in an attempt to bring Wanda to get "justice"/avenge their friends.

However, the trip would be a one way trip, so TChalla volunteers because he has nothing to come back too.

This would cement Michael B. Jordan's Black Panther into earth 616 and IF Elisabeth Olsen is brought back into 616, the compelling story could set up another Captain America Civil War. Recall in Infinity War Wanda and Sam could have built a stronger friendship due to his, Steve's, and Natasha's rescue of Wanda and Vision.

Boom another storyline!

Recall that in the first Avengers movie the team didn't actually form until the final 30 to 40 minutes of the movie.

The individuals had been established prior in separate films of course and the new team has the same existing framework that has been accomplished with other projects on TV and film for a the new team.

If the New Avengers include such as Shang Chi, War Machine, She Hulk, Photon, Spider-Man (recall the spell only erased the memory of Peter Parker, not Spidey), Ms. Marvel, Black Panther, Namor, Iron heart, Venom, Moon Knight, Jessica Jones, Kate Bishop, America Chavez, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Daredevil, end credits scenes in Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four alongside cameos in Daredevil could bring together a team easily.

The MCU doesn't necessarily need to follow the source material's existing teams structure. With all of the names I mentioned they have a framework of a new Avengers team, Defenders, Dark Avengers, Ultimates, and more.

One thing I've learned about media is ...

No body = No Death.

The MCU formula examples are Bucky Barnes. Agent Coulson, and technically Steve Rogers.

Idris Elba would be great as Blue Marvel if the MCU brought him into the MCU. Blue Marvel"s power and ability level rival that of Thor, Scarlet Witch, Hulk, and Sentry.

Characters like Blue Marvel, Hyperion, Nighthawk, as well as Northstar and Aurora from Alpha Flight should DEFINATELY be brought into the MCU.

What about Magneto's variant from another earth instead of the main 616 happens to be Black or an Indigenous person? Their mutant genes surface during an event such as the slave trade, slavery, or genocide of Indigenous people in U.S.?

Wouldn't that make for an interesting scene with Michael Fassbender and a variant of his Earth 616's universe?

I see your point about an actor of a different culture playing a character who was originally of a different culture. However that all depends on the original character's story arc or origin.

What you said about Black Panther and Magneto makes perfect sense because their stories are connected to a culture, African and Hebrew respectively. Although considering that, neither McKellan nor Fassbender are Jewish or Hebrew, but I digress.

My point is characters such as Cyclops, Professor X, Nick Fury, Punisher, Daredevil, AntMan, Goliath, Spiderman, Blade, Bishop, Venom, Iron Man, War Machine, Beast, and countless others aren't connected to a race or culture or for that matter gender, Spiderman and Iron Man withstanding on the gender role.

YOU or WE have a connection to them because we're consumed by race or I should say culture, from which we were introduced to them.

Characters such as Shang Chi, Black Panther, Magneto, Isiah Bradley, Ms. Marvel, Thor, Storm, Collosus, Magick, and others cultures can't truly be separated from the character.

Do you see my point?

Although I do hope the rumor is true that in Secret Wars, Denzel Washington is playing Magneto. Imagine on another earth instead of the 616 in the current MCU, Magneto's abilities surface as a child during the slave trade in Africa or the U.S. during the genocide of indigenous peoples. That parallel to Earth 616 Magneto would make for an interesting conversation between Fassbender and Washington on screen.
