10 All-New All-Different Marvel Ideas The MCU Should Use
How can the MCU channel All-New All-Different Marvel's great ideas?
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been doing an awesome job so far. But unlike the comics, they can't go on indefinitely. Eventually, actors will age out of roles and changes will need to be made in order to keep these franchises fresh.
Following the Secret Wars crossover event in the comics, Marvel made some changes to their funny-book universe. New characters were brought in, some characters changed identities, and concepts got fresh spins placed on them.
Sure, there have been some duds in the All-New All-Different Marvel, but it's been a pretty entertaining run overall. And some of the ideas that have come into the comics could be used to help keep the MCU fresh and surprising.
Of course, not everything from ANAD Marvel will apply to the MCU. As an example, you can't really have the teenage Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) running a multinational corporation, nor can you use any of the mutant/Inhuman conflict stuff that's currently dominating the X-Men comics.
But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of ideas that could easily fit into the MCU. Here are ten that would be great fun.
10. The Vision
Hands down, the best comic Marvel is publishing at the moment has to be The Vision, written by Tom King and drawn by Gabriel Hernandez Walta. The announcement of the solo series was enough to raise some eyebrows among more skeptical fans: The Vision may be one of the most intriguing Avengers, but does he really have the profile for his own series?
And as for the concept of Vision creating his own android family and moving into the suburbs? It really didn't seem like it would be that good.
I have never been so happy to be so wrong. The Vision is not only the best comic Marvel's currently publishing, it's one of the best they've ever published, period. Some have even said it could potentially be Marvel's Watchmen. Though that may be an exaggeration, this could still be one of those books that people will still be talking about decades from now.
While this series probably wouldn't work very well as a movie, it would be perfect if Marvel could get Paul Bettany to sign on for at least one season of a Netflix series. In Age of Ultron and Civil War, we've already seen hints of Vision's contemplative observation of humanity. It would make for the most original superhero series we've seen yet.
