8 Things Marvel Could Do After Phase 3

Last case scenario; Feige either gets high, or goes crazy, or both, and cancels his entire slate. He signs on James Gunn and Seth Green to do a Howard the Duck thrillogy with a two-part finale. The internet cries and laughs in a confusion of emotions. Feige sets fire to all his money like the Joker in The Dark Knight. Steve Gerber, satirical creator of Howard the Duck, rolls in his grave. 

But, in all seriousness (an oxymoron, whenever included with an article pertaining to Howard the Duck) this character is the culmination of a decade's worth of comic book creators disillusionment with the comics that had come before and the comics they had created with Marvel. Anyone who's read the fantastic Marvel Comics: The Untold Story will have a firm grasp of this (a tome as equally imbued with gossip as it is historical fact.)

Take a look at the parallel; so far, the world has had almost a decade of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the big screen. Its creators are only going to get more fatigued throughout the passage of time, and a burgeoning rivalry with Warner Bros and their inter-connected JLUniverse is only going to make things worse. 

How long before the weary MCU scribes and producers decide 'screw it' and decide to lambast every last part of the comic-book-film-adaptation industry? 

Heck, it could even be starting with Deadpool next year - another character borne out of distaste for an entire decade (the 90s) and a lampooning of reverence for an industry, which, twenty years ago meant so much to such a comparatively-small amount of people. 

To many comic book fans, it may be high time everyone had Howard the Duck back in our lives.
