What I might pitch would be a movie where we skip forward ten years, and everything has gone to shit in the wake of half the galaxy dying at once. The opening act is a group of surviving heroes plus some of those left behind, (like Shuri and Scott's daughter), finally descending upon Thanos, after searching for him for a decade, and over the course of the fight, Thanos is forced to reckon with the fact that his grand plan to save the universe has brought it to the brink of destruction, and then the rest of the movie is the Avengers + the New Avengers and Thanos skipping through the past present and future trying to find a way to undo the damage
I don't think they will do anything like this, but traveling back in time to prevent a horrific comic book dystopia is a beat the MCU hasn't hit yet, and it would be a fun way to close the book on the first decade of the MCU
Apparently the weird ghost thing on Vormir was supposed to be Red Skull? I did not pick that up at all
A bunch of people in my theater gasped at the revelation and I was going, "Wait, who is this asshole? What am I missing? Do I have to turn in my nerd card???"
(The answer is yes since I also didn't catch the significance of the stinger either.)
He's pretty explicit about it, with lines like 'I held a stone in my hand once, and am now doomed to guard another, guiding others to a treasure I can never possess'
But if you've never seen First Avenger, you'd literally have no way of knowing who it was.
having not seen it, I felt like his character still worked. Like "ok. Tormented lost soul who sought a stone forever ago and is now trapped by one. Acts as a warning to those who seek the stones. Got it." Which works in context since Thanos doesn't know who this asshole is either.
Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if the role was written, and even acted, without Red Skull in mind, and he was just added later. It didn't even sound like Hugo Weaving, so it wouldn't be weird if they just CGId the Red Skull face in post-hoc after someone had the idea of putting him in.

I mean, yeah, I've seen it, and all I remember is Hugo Weaving eating it in some magic portal and that was that. For all I knew that grim reaper mofo on Vormir is some generic ancient guardian kinda dude and not some deep cut from a seven year old film which I haven't really seen since.
For the first time I think i'm just kind of done with the idea of more movies in this universe.
Not because i'm burnt out, I still like the characters, but what's the point when no matter what it's still a setting where with the ending
Half of everyone is dead, or was dead before they were brought back.
Let's go see Ant-Man and the Wasp with fun ol' Paul Rudd that'll be great! Except no not really because everyone dies when it catches up to Infinity War. So who cares what happens?
Down the road when Spider-Man Vacationcoming comes out yeah i'm all ready for a lighthearted romp with this kid and the adventures he goes on. But remember when he meaninglessly died away from all his friends and family stranded on a planet on the other side of the universe?
There's no coming back from this. The setting is forever tainted by one of the most depressing events i've ever seen in a fictional property. The Marvel universe is now darker than the DC one. Sure it was handled better, but I don't know if i'm interested in seeing stories where this is now a historical event.

I'd put my money on them very specifically wanting it to be the Red Skull as they hired a guy who does celebrity impressions for the part.

Don’t worry,
The next movie will almost certainly retcon it such that the only people who remember it even happening are the 4-8 avengers who fix it
Those wizard special effects ain't cheap, you know?
For every MCU movie containing at least 50% CGI and special effects, I wish they could budget in a full wizard spell war. The "world warping" effects that the Supreme One and the Dormammu cult crew did in Dr. Strange was pretty cool.
I really just want an extended battle of Dr. Strange vs. Ebony Maw, or Thanos, just duking it out with spell/counterspell.

You don't have anything to worry about because
they're bringing most of the characters back. It's a story involving the infinity stones. Cosmic roll backs are a thing. And the third Gotg and second spider man film are set after infinity war.

The next film is Avengers 4. We do not know the title yet
Avengers 4 is what Infinity War 2 would be, though? They dropped the "part 1/part 2" name scheme. So we have Avengers 1, Avengers 2 (Age of Ultron), Avengers 3 (Infinity War), and Avengers 4 (????)

Did you not see First Avenger? It would definitely be confusing then, but otherwise the dude had a skull face, and it was red
What I want to know is, is that directly where he teleported to from the end of First Avenger? How has he survived this whole time?

He didn’t .
He couldn’t sacrifice anything to the soul stone so it cursed him.

It always sounded like Hugo Weaving had zero desire to return to the role and if there is anybody in the MCU you can get away with recasting, it's the guy in full makeup with a heavy accent.

for sure,
I read the reasons why he wasn't likely to from way back. but it's not about getting away with it or not, the same way I wouldn't give a shit if like, an all-CG blonksy showed up years later and tim roth wasn't involved. who cares? I'm excited cause it's hugo weaving's portrayal of red skull!

What I mean is, he's survived in some capacity to be able to show up. So is he like trapped in the Soul Stone, and it projected him out to visitors? Did the stone give him the power to live forever without sustenance, but trapped him to that mountain? How did he get there? Was he directly teleported to that mountain by the Space Stone?

He was “cursed by the stone”, that’s really all you need to know .
And yeah, the space stone just seemed to teleport him to that mountain I guess.

But I think movie Quicksilver is the only good costume he's ever had (that I've seen)

Tesseract likely felt his desire to find Infinity Stones and teleported him to one because of it. Or maybe it just locked onto a random stone as it shorted out.

It's very interesting as Cumberbatch seemed to be the most apprehensive about signing up for these movies, and now he's apparently having a ball.
yeah I love this so much
I also love that his character has a similar arc! goes from being disbelieving and dismissive, to confident out of necessity,
and then
his standoff with thanos was a high point of that whole sequence, and he really seems like a wizard now
