[Movies] MCU: Phase 5 - To Kang or Not to Kang

This begs either for a Masters of the Universe poster but with the Thor cast done up in Filmation style, or vice-versa.

I used to have a copy of this poster. I was mildly confused by the sight of Luke Skywalker's buff body, as I didn't remember anything like that from the movie.
In the Multiverse of Madness...
It is alright. But still the Marvel movies are the best Tent Pole movies for the last 14 years, by far.

I did love the 3rd act horror fun...
Going to bed after posting this it dawned on me that Heavy Metal is also an Isekai...
True but only one of the stories.
My kingdom for a 24fps version of that!
Hulk.
Hulk should be next.
...Banner, getting angrier and angrier, music getting more dramatic/tense, upward string slide as we ECU in on Banner's tightly-squeezed eye, and then Banner's eye pops open and the sparkly, magical girl music starts...

They're not wrong, that's about how I feel at this point.
At what point do they start releasing them faster than you can actually watch them to stay current? And also at what point do some of them become "lost" because nobody is showing/streaming them and you just have to read some dusty underground wiki to find out what was going on, like with Doctor Who?

Not to pick on you specifically, but I still find this an odd complaint, in general, especially from people our age. Most of these series are 6-8 episodes, and available to watch anytime you feel like it, thanks to streaming services and the internet. Didn't we all grow up when watching a show meant a 22-24 episode commitment, and if you didn't see it at it's specific aired time, and you didn't have a way to record it on your VCR (if you had one) you were S.O.L.? Maybe, *MAYBE* if you were lucky, you caught it when it was rerun, and they'd only rerun episodes once, or sometimes not at all. How have we gotten to a point where, especially as nerds/geeks/fans/etc, we complain that, "Oh no, every few months we get new content, and instead of hoping and praying that our local affiliate carries it in syndication, and if we're lucky we're home on a Friday or Saturday night to see it on TV, when instead we can watch it whenever and wherever and however we feel like it?!?" .
Except...I can't, really. I don't have subscriptions to the dozen or so services where I would need to go to find all the pieces (which is an entirely separate rant), the services themselves keep moving and/or removing content so there's no way to pick specific services in an attempt to guarantee my ability to see them, and, like I mentioned earlier, because I wasn't on top of these things when they were coming out, catching up now is going to mean a sizable time investment.
These are more the things which DO affect me, specifically, so I'm afraid I have no explanation for the other folks our age.

The way things are going, I may eventually come aboard completely out of self-defense.

If it helps, there are a number of MCU movies / shows that don't really require "homework". If you are looking for recommendations, I can put together a list.

Fun Fact - the "someone else" was the actor who also played Yondu's First Mate-turned-reluctant-Mutineer that inherited the arrow - the Director James Gunn's brother, Sean Gunn.
I just couldn’t think of his name when I was typing.
Sure you could. Same as I can say Vin Diesel played Groot. They might not have done the mo-cap, but their voices still brought life to the characters. Voiceover work is still a key element in film.
This would be like saying James Earl Jones didn't play Darth Vader.
I say exactly that. JEJ only claims being the voice of Vader. Dave ACTED in the scenes, even learned all the lines and gave the actual physical presence of the character. I’m not saying that voiceovers aren’t a form of acting, far from it, but that there is a difference between voicing and the physical acting of a character.
Take Andy Serkis, LotR or Apes, he was both the physicality of the characters and the voice, he was able to more fully combine the the physical acting and emotion of what the body showed to go with the words or ad-libs of the script.

I'm in total agreement, it's wrong to have the MCU take the same universe number as the comics.
Also, it totally suits her character to have a strong opinion on the matter.
