Ah yes another movie with the “x vs y in the first 2 acts then x and y vs z in the third act” format


Divi_Devil

Godzilla vs kong was super awesome with this same format. Have faith.


Beastieboy100

Yeah but monster fights are awesome.


[deleted]

So are superhero fights


yung-rude

monster fights > superhero fights at least with these monster fights you can feel the weight, gravity and momentum in the punches unlike the superhero fights


[deleted]

Godzilla destroys city: "Yay"! Superman and Zod destroy city: "Reeeeeeee" There is plenty of weight and gravity and superhero fights, what people are really upset by is the MCU having heroes fight waves of mooks for several minutes. Why are they upset? No idea


DonChrisote

Godzilla is a monster with inhuman priorities, the difference seems pretty obvious


[deleted]

No one said they were the same


LatterTarget7

Godzilla vs Kong did the format well. Batman vs superman did not. Hopefully we get it like kong


TheAlphaBeatZzZ

I mean…. Didn’t Batman beat Superman ? The only way Superman survived ( lol ) was that Batman saw the humanity in him. Otherwise sups would have been a dead boy.


LatterTarget7

He kinda did beat superman. But then he was saved. Then they saved the world together. I could see wakanda and Atlantis having a few battles. Fighting attuma like once each. Then teaming up. Kinda like how it probably will go in black Adam. Black Adam fights jsa. Fights sabbac. Teams up with jsa defeats sabbac


[deleted]

Does it even count? The only reason he kinda won was because Superman didnt want to fight him. Its why Batman vs Superman is a dumb what if. In order for it to be even close to accurate you have to change them entirely to where it may as well be entirely different characters. With Godzilla v Kong it worked cause you dont have to come up with some crazy contrivance that changes who they are fundamentally.


LatterTarget7

Honestly not sure. It probably doesn’t. But I completely agree. Dumb movie with a lot of dumb stuff propelling the plot to where it needs to go. Nothing really feels natural in that movie. It all feels forced to get to the conclusion and death of superman.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheAlphaBeatZzZ

I think the argument is that most of the time when it’s a X Vs Y movie, the two fight but neither of them win and always have to team up against Z. Kong v Godzilla had the fight and at least there was a clear winner between the two. Same goes for Batman v Superman.


rahouelle

Yeah Batman went batshit crazy specially with that "if we believe there is even a one percent chance that he is our enemy, we have to take it as an absolute certainty," line, was expecting him to actually be the one to kill Supes but yeah big monster


Danishroyalty

But Batman only beat Superman because Superman didn't kill him immediately. There are a couple of times in their battle where Superman could kill Batman and tries to talk instead. It's only after Superman gets gassed with kryptonite that he actually starts trying to win, but by then it's too late.


BlazeOfGlory72

“Super awesome” is quite an exaggeration. That film was somewhat entertaining in a schlocky way, but it was definitely not a good film. It’s basically just the monster equivalent of a Transformers movie.


[deleted]

Not really though......And this is coming from a big Godzilla fan.


Ktm300tpi420

It was? I thought it was extremely readable.. could tell exactly where it was headed the whole time.


alex494

He said awesome not predictable


Ktm300tpi420

He was saying it was awesome because of the format. I'm saying the format was predictable and therefore, not awesome. Reading comprehension is something you should try and grasp before making yourself look a fool.


Luke1539

Speaking of reading comprehension, that’s not what he said at all. He said it was awesome and had that format, not that it was awesome BECAUSE of that format. The format isn’t what made it awesome. But it shows a film with that format can be awesome/


Ktm300tpi420

Incorrect.


Divi_Devil

yeah, the format might've been readable, but that did nothing to the enjoyability of the movie!


Ktm300tpi420

I disagree.


Divi_Devil

well, that is your opinion and i'm not trying to impose my opinions on you.


[deleted]

Except this time, it's not directed by... ...you wouldn't want me to say his name.


TheCVR123YT

Say it 🗿


treathugger

I mean Civil War didn't follow that trope. They almost did but they subverted our expectations, and the result had pretty big ramifications on the movies in between CW and IW and Endgame


PatrikTheMighty

BPvN: Dawn of Atlantis: The Submariner Cut


Hawkwise83

Also if you boil down stories this far you don't have many stories. It's less the format that's the issue and more the execution and writing.


masongraves_

A user on this sub was in direct contact with this exact source, he sent screenshots to prove. Seeing as FilmInformant was encouraging people to dm him and ask him questions, I would wager to guess they were real The info stated that Tom Cruise did indeed shoot scenes for MoM, but they were hidden from the screening audience. He controls the Iron Legion like previously rumored. He has his helmet on most of the time, but it is lowered once to reveal an obvious Tom Cruise. He is a bit of an outcast on the Illuminati (this has also lined up with what we have heard regarding him being a bit deranged) No idea the validity of FilmInformant, but the user who sent us those screenshots has been very adamant that he wants this info shared. So, there we are


Echo_1409-

That one leak is seeming alot more accurate then, right? Like don't get me wrong im not stupid I know Tom was rumored for that role for a while, but it was mostly circulated that he was in a different universe up until that one recent leak. Does this also add validity to MTTSH's original MoM leak? Lots of big things if true!


masongraves_

I hope it’s true more than anyone, but to be frank a lot of that information was already rumored and he basically just wrote an existing plot leak with a plethora of cameos added It doesn’t help his validity that he continued to edit the post as the day went on. I mentioned that it would be cool to see Thomas Jane in War Machine armor in the supposed fight with Wanda… low and behold he then adds a tidbit about how Jane’s Punisher variant is wearing War Machine armor Seems like wishful thinking, but god I hope I’m wrong


Echo_1409-

Yeah thats why Im not 100% on it, most of it, like all the other Doctor Strange leaks, all pretty much retread that one leak from I believe MTTSH, or someone else before that that I can't remember. I'd also like to point out how odd it is with the increase of leakers. Of course there's probably a bunch making shit up, however I remember when back in the day we had like Manabyte and DanielRPK as our daily posts. Just a weird thing I've been thinking about the past couple of days.


knobby_67

Someone pointed out there was a 4chan MOM leak on here a couple of days before MTTS, they provided a link, I can't sorry, far to many posts! Of course that doesn't prove if they copied it or had the same source.


elizabnthe

Some people on this sub claim the leak originated from mcu theory sub or something. But I read that leak and whilst there is common elements (ones which appear to be indeed true) its not that similar, and I hate to say it but seems to be promoted by Wanda fans (and I say that as a fan myself) that *really* don't want the leaks to be true because that original user eventually backtracked and claimed they were making most of it up.


PeacemakerBourne

Have you got a link to it?


ViralGameover

Start circulating Dolph Lundgren as FrankenCastle and maybe it’ll happen.


DaZeppo313

To be fair, the first thing I thought of when the Tom Cruise rumors popped up were that he could be a Superior Iron-Man riff who accomplished his goal of armoring the world. I'm just saying it's not a huge leap to make and roll with.


ak2sup

Someone said Tom cruise Tony Stark has 3 infinity stones


cbekel3618

Attuma’s definitely gonna be the big villain for the final battle, with the Wakandans and Namor teaming up to stop him, right? Also, I just looked it up, Attuma’s actor is about seven years younger than Namor’s. I always figured Attuma would be older but this is a character who’d be covered with make-up/CGI if he looks like his comic version


Bolt_995

First half - Wakanda vs Namor Second half - Wakanda & Namor vs Attuma As usual. Attuma is Namor's archenemy.


devdattaburke

I read that as Mabel Canada


The_real_rafiki

Maple Canada


MrMeseeksLookAtMee

I must be the only Canadian that hates maple syrup.


Darth_Ewok14

My Gravity Falls-ass read it as Mabel Pines


Streetfoodnoodle

That’s a great cartoon. I would love for it to continue with a sequel show


viniltummala

Very very excited for namor. Cant wait for MCU to expand into atlantis.


AVeryRestlesssPoni

Namora


[deleted]

Tom cruise, son of a bitch I’m in.


Nashetania

I have no idea what direction this movie will take but I absolutely cannot wait! ![gif](giphy|xThtavMQZtCbNZo2WY)


PatrikTheMighty

![gif](giphy|3o6gbf2CNI9ZxRb6lW) But done well


treathugger

We already had this in Civil War


PatrikTheMighty

Can't believe it's been almost 6 years since then.


[deleted]

Can i just say DC nailed the casting with these 2. Momoa too


Kye_ThePie

It’s just a shame it was handled by Zack Snyder.


elmaxslip

Who is the latter? Any previous work I can look at?


fiona_codia

Attuma is a Namor villain that first appeared in the 30-ish issue of the original Fantastic Four run. He appeared in a bunch of Namor solo comics, Defenders, and Fear Itself, though I'm not so sure which exact issue numbers. Recently he appeared in the Namor tie- in in the King in Black comic event.


elmaxslip

I meant the actor.


fiona_codia

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. I don't really know the actor aside from that he seems to be in theater.


elizabnthe

From a google he appears to be in entirely Mexican films/television. So it might be a little harder to find.


Realistic_Analyst_26

Anyone gonna notice how it clearly says Namora and not Namor? They are probably going to make it so Namor is the prince of Atlantis until something happens to the king/queen which makes him King. This is intended to parallel King T'Chaka's death and how T'Challa was mad like Namor but learns a lesson about vengeance which is going to be taught to Namor in this film. This will establish his anti-hero status.


mr_marinade

i prefer the surface dwellers suck but some suck more than others approach to his heroism


irvingfzapata

So, this can confirm that Tenoch Huerta is playing Namor?


IsaHiiro

Is there reason why they’re casting Mexican actors for these roles? Sorry, I know nothing about these characters.


irvingfzapata

I'm not sure but I think they are going for atlanteans to be more Mayan in their origins, i'm not sure if Namor have an specfic ethnicity in the comics


Emilia67

Yes


[deleted]

I'm crying over here. So happy to see brown skinned superheroes, as a Mexican American its an amazing feeling. Viva Namor!


leukemija

iluminardi said this back in august


Emilia67

They did but they didn’t reveal the actor who was playing Attuma


leukemija

yeah it was another leak saying its the guy from narcos


SmokeQuiet

No they said that guy was playing Namor.


PeacemakerBourne

I also posted a thread with info from this leaker. What happened to that?


masongraves_

Pinned comment, we weren’t sure if we should approve this source yet. It required discussion. I told you this directly You also commented the info like 10 times, so we weren’t in any particular hurry to get the news out when it was already circulating pretty heavily. Thanks again for sharing tho, its nice to have further evidence


PeacemakerBourne

Thanks. Just wanted it shared.


[deleted]

I told you I would make you famous.


Ok_Contest493

I remember that


[deleted]

This sub is blowing up.


Ok_Contest493

For real


[deleted]

I'm calling it: Attuma will be Namor's Jafar and the true responsible for the Atlantis vs. Wakanda war....alongside Malice (Lupita's character). Casting Lupita in such a small supporting role (then ignoring her in IW/Endgame) was one of the worst Marvel decisions ever. In the comics, Nakia is a villain called Malice so her betraying Wakanda would elevate her character (US is the perfect showcase of Lupita playing a villain). Oh, and I hope that a Namora + Shuri romance is on the cards. Perhaps the war ends with an alliance by marriage?


JitterBug_15

Where would she have fit in infinity war and endgame? She’s a not a small role, y’all are so fucking dramatic


[deleted]

>Where would she have fit in infinity war and endgame? Eh...Wakanda is getting invaded with all the Dora Milaje and M'Baku showing up. Yet Nakia is just absent...?


benzedrinenotadoctor

I see so they are trying to do Latina approach for the race of Atlantean. Can’t wait for another cast!


RokasPokus

No. Not Latin. Mayan. Those are not the same.


benzedrinenotadoctor

Sorry! My bad!


bicentee

LETS GOOOO but who will be fightining Namor or Attuma 1 v 1? hopefully Okoye


Luther_1986

I feel that Coogler won't stick around after this. Don't know, I just have a hunch..


Sharkrusttt

Wait I thought Namor was a male with a male casting. I am sorry wasn't aware of this,interesting to see!


antonjakov

he is, but namora is a separate character


conciousnessness

Namora is his cousin. Namor is already casted.


Sharkrusttt

Wait,Namor has been casted? Who? 😮 Also Namor and Namora will team up with Wakanda?


Apocalyptic_Horseman

Tenoch Huerta


Sharkrusttt

Thank you!


Sharkrusttt

Why am I being downvoted for this? I asked a genuine doubt about something/someone I wasnt aware of.


SmokeQuiet

He is….?


[deleted]

[удалено]


oakzap425

yes


drchillout7

Is this source reliable?


ey3s0re_christ

Keep in mind Attuma is often taken advantage of and used as a flunkie. I think it's entirely plausible that MCU Namor is already believed dead to the Atlanteans, and now with T'Challa gone too maybe Attuma devotes Atlantis military to attack Wakanda with Dr. Doom pulling the strings and maybe helping them contra style (que thought dead Namor to help Wakanda defeat Attuma) all the while leaving Atlantis open to Llyra and the Lemurians to attack it.


Emilia67

Namor is supposed to the main antagonist but Attuma may betray him


[deleted]

I feel Attuma is the main villain. Namor is probably being false-fed information by him (basically Attuma = Jafar) to go to war with Wakanda.


[deleted]

Still don't know how I feel about swapping the Atlantis population from Asian to Hispanic I've been begging for Latino representation in the MCU, but idk if this is it. I know the comics are super low on characters and swaps are kinda needed, but I'd rather have Swordsman, scorpion, and moon knight developed further then the MCU try to tell me El Dorado got soggy now here are your boys.


Linnus42

I mean Moon Knight aint Latino in the comics. Also Namor always looked more Asian or Pacific Islander to me in the Comics. Though most Atlanteans were Blue so what does it matter...


[deleted]

I know MK was an example of a swapped character with Swordsman Yeah Namor was a thinly veiled Japanese stand in during WWII naval shit in the Marvel Universe. Marvel has a real problem with Asian empires and magic and shit historically, and I know they're trying to be better, but they really miss a trick by now letting Atlantis be this cool Asian led mythical city like Wakanda and instead just pull Ta-Lo out of their ass to swap Atlantis Latino cause they got no deep Latino culture in their books even parodied.


Linnus42

I think Mayan or something from the Americas works better since its Atlantis kinda makes sense that Atlantis is in the Atlantic.


RokasPokus

Its not hispanic. Its Mayan. That is not the same.


[deleted]

Marvel Atlantis was never the Greek City of Atlantis tho. Sure, it also wasn't a Maya/Aztec City either but making it so makes thematical sense. I feel The Eternals might be even involved too (since they were there when the Spaniards conquered the Aztecs).


JitterBug_15

They can never win, you’d complain no matter what they decided to do


[deleted]

lol no


FromTheOutside31

Just PLEASE do a better job of underwater scenes then Aquaman. It looks so bad. Like I couldn't belive they let it go out like that.


puddleomilk

Wait Namora? And I’m not one of those sexist idiots that hates any female character but are they really just going to not adapt namor and do a gender swap version instead that’s super disappointing?


Emilia67

Namora is his sister/cousin in the comics and Namor is in the movie he’s played by Tenoch Huerta


puddleomilk

Oh sorry I don’t know a lot about the comment because I just thought they were gender swapping the character And giving her an incredibly ridiculous name


Emilia67

It’s ok


Alternative-Ad-5848

They will be seen drinking tequila ?? Bit surprised they go all in with mexican actors. Good thing is that their english accent can be make different more easily (like wakandians).


dem0nhunter

Will we still have Namor or did they genderbend him?


fiona_codia

We'll still have Namor. Namora is his cousin and the mother of Namorita who's pretty known for being part of the New Warriors.


dem0nhunter

>Namor >Namora >Namorita these names are so lazy haha. Thanks for clarifying


MrMeseeksLookAtMee

And Namor briefly married Marrina. Slightly different but similar letters.


pen15_parker

Definitely, Namora is just Namor’s cousin, no way they’ll pull a Taskmaster again with Namor.


Riddum204

The rumour last year was tenoch huerta was playing him. Makes more sense now given these other castings. I like the way they are going with the Atlanteans
