Was it a "Fuck You" to FOX and their rights to the X-Men movies?

>Was it a "Fuck You" to FOX and their rights to the X-Men movies?

No, it was because Wheadon wanted to kill someone off because he's aware of his reputation. They actually filmed an ending with Pietro alive incase Marvel didn't let Joss kill him off.

Killing off Quickslav actually makes it easier for Fox. Now they get to use the character without casual getting confused more than they already may be.

Fox has Pietro, Marvel has Wanda.
>>
>>83722379
Pretty sure it was the opposite. One had to go so they chose to keep Scarlet Witch. FOX cucked Marvel out of Quicksilver.
>>
>>83722379
If it was a "fuck you" it was directed at people who care about Quicksilver. It felt more like "Welp, we've gotta put Quicksilver in an Avengers movie, but we don't want to share a character with Fox, so we'll just halfass it and kill him off"
>>
This has me sort of curious.
Are there any other characters that overlap and belong to both Fox & Marvel?
>>
>>83722379
Because they realized xmen's quicksilver was 1000x better and didn't want to have to compete in popularity.
>>
>>83722734
Wanda. I once heard that Marvel can use Skrulls but not Super Skrulls, but I don't think that's true.
>>
Everyone cites Whedon as the cause, but it seems convenient that both companies killed off the character that wasn't the run away hit for them.

Although getting rid of QS may have made things easier down the line. He'd throw off the CW numbers (unless they threw in Captain Marvel) or would be pushed to be stronger after Fox's smash success. Which fucks up the MCU due to their modest power levels.

Fox didn't kill Wanda though. She was just never onscreen. Unless I missed a bit where QS's sisters (excluding the third one in Poland) were both killed.
>>
Because Whedon thinks drama can only be created by killing of major characters. He felt he HAD to kill an Avenger. He couldn't kill of Iron Man, Thor, Cap or Hulk because they were too important and needed for future movies, he couldn't kill off Black Widow or Scarlet Witch because they're women. Killing Hawkeye would be too predictable, everyone would see it coming (get it?). So it was between Pietro and Vision, where Vision had more potential in future movies and Pietro would create more drama as his twin sister he grew up with would lose him and his act could be selfless, while Vision was "just a robot" they just met.

It's an easy thing to miss. Wanda is only loosely referenced by QS's mother and younger sister in the Rogue-cut of DOFP. They wanted you to never notice her.

It probably went something like this:

Joss wants to use Ultron.
And if you have Ultron, you have to have Vision.
And if you introduce Vision, you have to introduce Scarlet Witch.
And if you introduce Scarlet Witch, you have to introduce Quicksilver.

Whedon probably got a lot of internal opposition over introducing two characters with shared rights (Marvel *hates* promoting characters with a Fox connection, and refuses to put Wanda or Pietro in most games, merchandise, cartoons etc).

But that probably meant he didn't get any pushback from the studio over wanting to kill off Pietro. He said he had an alternate ending where Pietro lived, but Disney didn't use it. Because they don't care about Fox-affiliated characters.

The only reason they're using Wanda still is that they have so few women in the MCU. But they've got plenty of superpowered dudes.

So basically, he died because he was considered expendable and none of the other heroes were considered expendable. And he was really mostly there because Whedon is a '70s kid and wants to see Vision and Wanda together.

The contract only means that he has to appear in that number of movies if they ask him to. If they don't ask him to, he doesn't have to appear.

I believe the standard contract is that they have the option to use you in a certain number of movies, they don't actually *have* to do it.

So presumably if they wanted ATJ to be in another movie he would have to do it, but it's their option.

Every time Fox introduces a sister for Pietro she seems to be kind of a shout-out to Wanda without actually being her.

So the little sister in DoFP was not Wanda, but she was wearing a tiara. The girl in Apocalypse was not Wanda, but she was a mutant with spooky powers. And a cut scene from DoFP had Pietro saying he has another sister who bothers him.

Fox doesn't seem to want to introduce Wanda (why should they, they have plenty of superpowered women including Jean Grey, who's very similar to Wanda). But they put in little shout-outs.

And now she'll end up having probably one of the most significant roles in the two upcoming Avengers movies. And there's possible demand from fans for a solo movie, assuming Olsen deems it a good enough story to pursue.

>>83723769
They only do that to force actors to come back for X number of movies unless that actor pays a fee.
>>
>>83723769
>>83723935

3 or more is standard. Otherwise if you want to get someone back, you need to negotiate a contract each time - which means the very first time they're going to put their rate up, because they know you need them.

How it works is you're essentially paying them a retainer, then each time they make something for you you pay them the agreed portion of the contract they've signed - so they can't ask for more no matter how big they get in the interim, and you don't get screwed when they're already under contract with someone else and can't meet your filming dates, because going into other projects they're going to let their other employers know they have work lined up with you - so if your movies take off, you've got shotgun.

It's similar with scripting and so on - when you hear about the rights to something being sold, that's a cash payment with the promise of more up to the headline amount, depending on how far the project goes. It doesn't mean that you'd get $10m for your IP just because you nominally sold the rights for that amount - you'd only get the money in full once it entered full production.

If it weren't for this system, FOX couldn't possibly have afforded Jennifer Lawrence in 2013, or Halle Berry in 2003 and 2006; and they can't afford to re-sign JLaw right now what with XMA looking like it's struggling to reach $500m.

Sometimes people will sign longer contracts - 6 pictures, maybe more - if there's scope for the project to go on longer. The benefit of this to the actors (and directors etc) is that they've got the promise of consistent work over a very long period of time, so it frees them up to pursue less profitable but more stimulating projects.

>>83723998
Technically if you want Vision you need Wonder Man first. I wouldn't put too much stock in your theory.
>>
>>83724270
I don't think she will get her own movie. She isn't really a solo character (as her current book is proving, at least to me).

Much more likely, if they last long enough, is a Vision and Scarlet Witch movie. That has more of a precedent in the comics.

Lizzie Olsen's career was pretty much going nowhere before she got the MCU gig (she made crap choices after her success in Martha Marcy May Marlene) so while she gives polite answers to "would you do a solo movie?" questions she's probably just thinking she doesn't want to get killed off.
>>
>>83724543
Ah, but Whedon has said he doesn't like Wonder Man. (Another reason to hate him!)

He did say something in pre-AoU interviews about Wanda and Pietro being part of the Avengers DNA or something. They are very important Avengers, along with Wasp and Hank (who weren't available to him). But when he was reading the comics, Wanda and Vision were in nearly every issue and Pietro didn't appear much. No prizes for guessing which of the three he considered the most expendable.

And if you need Wonder Man for Vision you need Pym for Ultron. So yeah, the theory doesn't really hold.

The only exception I can think of is Marvel Adventures where Ultron wasn't created by Pym and Vision was created partly due to Storm.

Doubtful. Her parents were probably already divorced by the time she became aware and or involved with that project.

>>83722379
Marvel (Whedon) wanted to use the twins, so they had to ask Fox's lawyers if that was okay. Fox said no, but then Marvel got to make their "They were Avengers first," argument and legally Fox could not keep the twins from the MCU.

In response, Fox put Quicksilver in DofP with a little sister in red (who couldn't be his twin but could also be a mutant). Marvel said to Fox, look if you're gonna be a giant bitch and use the characters just because we are then let's each just pick one. That's why Quickslav dies and the X-Men don't get a Wanda/why Phoenix shows up early.

>Whedon probably got a lot of internal opposition over introducing two characters with shared rights (Marvel *hates* promoting characters with a Fox connection, and refuses to put Wanda or Pietro in most games, merchandise, cartoons etc).

Scarlet Witch does get merchandise though. Sure, not as much as the other MCU characters, but a helluva lot more than Quicksilver does. Last year the comic version of SW had a Marvel Legends released (and since it shared the "Maidens of Might" name with the Captain Marvel figure, it didn't need to reference Quicksilver). This year the MCU version is getting a figure. Quicksilver only got the Hasbro minifig, a Minimate, and the Hot Toys figure. Scarlet Witch got all those, Marvel Legends figures, and Funko Pops.

The issue with putting her in games and cartoons is that if they introduce her, they'll definitely have to introduce Quicksilver and if they introduce Quicksilver they're promoting Fox. Lego Avengers got away with it probably because they were specifically adapting the films.

That reminds me, did the Disney Marvel cartoons kill off characters? I haven't bothered to watch any of them since that first season of USM.

Whedon wanted to give the ending more weight. That is seriously it.

It actually has little to do with the rights issue.

Age of Ultron was one big argument between the studios and Whedon. Whedon wanted loads of crap. The studios wanted loads of crap. E.g. Whedon wanted the whole farm situation and the studios hated it. Whedon hated the Infinity Gaunlet plug ins (e.g. with Thor). It ended it some of the worst ideas slipping through.

Whedon steadily was losing control of the project. Some of his ideas were good but a lot were bad. Studio were getting anxious thinking it couldn't top the first one. Whedon decided to give the ending some more weight.

Probably not a teenager, old enough to be an Avenger (on Cap's side, Tony doesn't really care about age), probably not older than 28 tops.

Black Widow herself is just 31. I'd say Wanda is probably in her early to mid-20s. Like 20-26, but more likely 20-24 just from how they push her youth.

In most cases, you're right. But most of the cast is the same age as their actors. Nat, Clint and Sam are supposedly the same age as their actors. Tony and Rhodey are a like two years younger than Downey Jr. and Cheadle. Steve's probably physically the same age as Evans, though obviously not chronologically.

I don't think I need to say anything about Vision.

Whedon was in love with the idea of the fake out. He knew Hawkeye was the most obviously expendable character so he put in all the clichés movies use when signaling that someone is going to die, like having him go for one last job before retirement.

The idea was that the audience would be expecting Hawkeye to die and be surprised when it was Quicksilver.

And to be fair I know a few people who were surprised. They were casual viewers but just genre-savvy enough to notice the death clichés being thrown at Hawkeye.
>>
>>83727299
I was surprised, but not saddened. The writing didn't make me care about the character enough to miss them. Might as well have been an extra, the impact it made.

>>83722379
think it's more Whedon thinks killing someone off is deep sophisticated writing
>>
>>83727299
Yeah, I mean, I hate Whedon but that idea was pretty smart, yet it had the same issue with the Mandarin twist in IM3
They had nothing of value to replace it with
If it wasn't Hawkeye, who else? Who could've given it the same emotional weight as him? That guy who just showed up and has the personality of a plank of wood? Oh yeah, him, let's kill him
Sometimes the best way to tell a story is just playing a cliche straight

>Steve's probably physically the same age as Evans
Evans is 4 years older than Cap.
RDJ is 5 years older than Iron Man.
Cheadle is 4 years older than War Machine.
Stan is 4 years older than Bucky. (Fun fact according to the wiki and google, while Bucky was born before Steve, he got frozen first so Cap is about a year older physically minus Winter Soldier missions).
If Peter Parker is 16 then Holland is 4 years older than Spider-Man.
Sam Jackson is 3 years older than Nick Fury.
Pratt is a year older than Star-Lord.
Ant-Man's age isn't given so eh.
Clark Gregg is 3 years older than Coulson.

So really it's only BW, Hawkeye, Falcon, and Maria Hill that are the same age as their actors and "most" are not. When they're not, the character is usually 4 (but up to 5) years younger than the actor. And 4 to 5 years a pretty big gap when you're in your 20s.

So for the MCU, you're wrong about cast ages. Now that does not prove SW is not 27, but it means there's no strong evidence to support that either.

But here's a bigger issue with your "use the actor's age" idea, Quicksilver's actor is 25. Can't have the twins be twins with a two year age gap.

And by the same token, Black Widow knows what it's like to be used as a weapon so she could identify with, and want to keep that same fate from, Wanda.

I don't disagree.

Never said my reasoning was perfect. And also, I'm open for the characters' ages be whatever the hell Marvel wants them to be.

I just tend to go with my own thing (however flawed it may be) until certain details are brought to light. If you think I was trying to push them as fact, I apologize. It was not my intent to.
>>
>>83727527
Wanda was clearly feeling underestimated with their rapid fire spy talk since Cap, Falcon and Black Widow had been on this rodeo before, in TWS, and clearly worked as a well oiled team while she was lagging behind.
When Steve was taking her through the baby steps Wanda was eager to listen instead of talk back.
She only got catty after Natasha butted in to speed things up.

In fact in the scene immediately after she takes orders from Cap on managing the gas and securing the perimeter, and works well supporting and taking support from Falcon, but not a word between her and Natasha.

You can believe what you like though, I just feel this sort of thing speaks for itself.
>>
>>83727596
The Civil War people don't seem to care much about what Whedon did. They dropped the weird mind control powers and never mentioned Wanda being from Sokovia or almost anything else that happened in AoU, including Quicksilver's existence.

That means they probably aren't interested in revisiting anything they didn't directly inherit from Whedon.

Plus they don't really need Quicksilver. Fox needs Quicksilver because he's become an unexpected highlight of the X-movies.

Fox doesn't need Wanda because they've already got lots of superwomen, Marvel needs here because they have hardly any.
>>

They had a huge coke problem IIRC.

I actually think the twins are prettier, they just don't have any tits. Also one of them fucked up her face trying to fix the years of drug abuse with botched plastic surgery.
>>
>>83727589
Ages are in comparison between actors' and characters' given birth dates, when they were cast has nothing to do with it.

MCU happens more or less in real time, with any time repeats/skips (Hulk, IM2, Thor are the same week, most of TFA is in the 40s) resolved by the next movie or team-up.

It was more of a 'Welp I gotta kill someone one' thing for Whedon since that's the only way he can write a shocking emotional scene.'

>and never mentioned Wanda being from Sokovia
Well, not directly but Vision makes her a dish implied to be traditionally from her home to lift her spirits, Steve seems to pick up during the finale that Zemo's from Sokovia from his accent, which Wanda shares. There's a back and forth between Steve and Tony on the fact Wanda isn't native to the US so she can't leave the compound without any papers.

She didn't exactly have fun with it first time around. But additional materials imply she still has them.

They allude to it once or twice. Like when Ross handed the Sokovia Accords book to Wanda first.

They mention Sokovia an assload of times in CW.

Maybe I caught the tisms, but that just blows my mind. You know your reasoning is fallacious but you use it anyway.

>>83727713
>you can live in your world of delusion, but my views are obvious
So "You guys know I can movie things with my mind, right? is obviously "catty" to you, but the "It's cute," response to Cap asking her to look at the red car is nothing? If you take BW's comment as butting in and therefore a sign of negativity between her and SW, is Cap cutting in after Falcon's comment about paranoia to BW a sign that Cap is chastising Falcon?

I don't think you're entirely wrong, but I think you're only selecting the character interactions that support your idea that BW and SW don't get along while the same or similar interactions aren't used by you for other character relationships. Or tell me I'm wrong about you and the Cap hates Falcon and thinks everyone on his team is annoying except for SW.

If you insist.

Cap cuts in to bring the team to order. As operations lead that is what he does. Reinterpreting his words and actions would be a good example of fishing, or in this case setting up a precarious straw man.

Nor do I. I'm not entirely familiar with the character outside of the movies or the cartoons, but I never really got any kind of vibe that she was a solo kind of character. Olsen's gone on record recently that she's open to a solo movie. But as it stands, she seems to be satisfied in a supporting role like Renner is. Which is cool. If she's happy with what she's got, then good for her.

Olsen did not have that much of a problem with her costume, certainly an easier time than Boseman in that Panther costume.

I do think she loves playing Wanda as it enables her to be a big kid and flex her acting chops. Her taste for weirdness works in her favour in Marvel movies.

Wanda is a great character when done right as she has a perfect mix of vast power and intense vulnerability.

I think her costumes neatly reflect her evolution from human to powerful superbeing.

AOU: Civilian
Civil War: Avenger
Infinity War: Witch

I think her IW costume will be much more ornate; closer to Strange's aesthetic.

They will either have her be Doctor Strange's apprentice (she's the only Avenger who you can team up with him) or do a Vision & Scarlet Witch movie (though how that would work in the world of the MCU is hard to fathom and would they have the balls to do it).

You can't use Wanda in Panther, Cap, BW, Antman, or GotG, Cap Marvel movies post IW as she would not fit at all in those.

But it is amazing to think how totally, utterly fucked Wanda was just a few years ago; banned from comics, movie rights in limbo. People seem to have forgotten how deep into the grave Bendis buried her.

Feige and the Russos are on the verge of humiliating the comics division by succeeding with Wanda where they fucked up.

Marvel does not have any lead female characters; the ones they do have are all legacy characters.

Most of the writers at Marvel comics don't care for her; she does not fit the policy of female characters being infallible Mary Sues. She's too human and vulnerable for their liking.

Robinson's solo comic is uneven and ignores alot of Wanda's history, bizarrely creates a lame new villain even though Wanda is arguably the only Marvel female to have a compelling nemesis.

Notice how Wanda turned up in alot of comics in April/May? Vision #7 and New Avengers being the most cynical cash ins.
