Unless it actually dropped out of showing that fast internationally, that whole thing only seems to update weekly now for some reason, which a touch annoying when forecasting >:(

Honestly, gotta go with Iron Man here. Just like his brand of superheroing/Downey's portrayal of him more than the others.

Kind of a flawed poll. I mean, who’s going to pick Hawkeye and Black Widow?

But that isn’t to say they aren’t favored characters. Allowing more than one option would allow us to see second and third favorites. That’d be a more varied poll.

I have to say going in it was Iron Man, but over the course of the Infinity Saga Captain America won me over.

Iron Man was practically the figurehead of the MCU and by far the one with the most character growth, so I mean the poll only has one real answer.

Very few of the MCU posters are particularly notable imo.

I'm in love with Scarlett since Endgame but voted Iron Man anyway.

I only look at posters to remind me which movies I wanted to see but a piece of paper and the title would be sufficent for that.
I do have the posters for 'The Hitman's Bodyguard' and 'The Magificent Seven' hanging in my living room though.

I voted for Cap. Cause he was a ballsy mother-effer even before he got his super steroids. And Winter Soldier is still one of my faves.

I voted for Thor. Ragnarok is the best film. Not ever, I mean in the MCU. Thor in Infinity War is awesome... even if it makes no thematic sense... and Thor in Endgame is hilarious... which makes complete sense after IW (but less so with his other films).

If there was a second option I'd go Tony. Except if it was just after Ragnarok then I might have gone Bruce/Hulk... but he/they got shafted by the Russos... the character story sucks, is badly communicated, happens largely off screen and doesn't even have a single moment of awesome as compensation. I suppose they thought
volunteering to do the Third Snap would be the awesome moment but they were wrong.


Cap, Hawkeye and Natasha are tied for last. No, wait, I hate Endgame!Clint. He's last.

Also, I only look at movie posters at the cinema... and I've never remembered one yet.

I may be watching Agents of SHIELD on momentum but there is a very dumb thing that happens in this weeks episode that delights me in a stupid way. I'll spoiler it because if there is someone who cares I can't retroactively spoiler it but I also don't think anyone cares.
Worse, this isn't even really a spoiler. I'll describe it if you don't care about the spoiler. The crew looking for Fitz for reasons I forgot. I guess to get him out of the timewhatever. They eat this candy that isn't compatible with humans and instead basically acts like 'Shrums. Quake and Simmons start feeling it and ask each other if they feel okay and decide to answer at the same time, Quake describes what she's feeling as 'tripping balls.' I feel seen.

Told you it was stupid.

The Eternals are getting cast.

So far it's:
Angelina Jolie as Sersi, the Eternal that chills with humans and has been Forrest Gumping her way through history ('inspiring' characters in The Odyssey, shit like that. Was an Avenger for a bit.

Richard Maden as Ikaris, Icarus' dad who named himself after his kid when his kid used his mechanical wings to catch up to his dad and died in the upper atmosphere.

Kumail Nanjiani as unknown. Maybe Gilgamesh, the Forgotten One. A super old Eternal (who are already super old) who was too involved with the humans (but Sersi wasn't?). Or Makkari, a speedster.

The Eternals were created by the Celestials to keep Earth ready for them. The Eternals also populated Titan, meaning that Thanos is an offspring of the Eternals.

The answer of "where the fuck were you guys when your cousin was breaking shit on Earth and the universe" will probably be handled by Gaimen's run where Sprite erased the Eternal's memory.

They only have to add a whole successful run of a movie to do it.

Which could happen.
