I always thought it'd be cool if Snoke turned out to be possessing innocent creatures to protect himself. The Snoke we knew would turn out to be just a tortured innocent and the real Snoke would have a surprise identity. I'd hoped it would be Poe Dameron, but the Emperor works.
Black Widow being a Skrull could certainly explain why her arms didn't detatch when she hitched a ride on that glider in Avengers. Seriously though, to do this would undercut all of her known MCU backstory. I think the future for Black Widow is as the Avengers' boss, mostly behind a desk. Marvel will either have to bench the less superpowered characters or promote them.
I'm of the belief that anyone who is going to "die" survived the snap in Infinity War. Narratively speaking it would be more satisfying and the top two candidates survived.
It makes the most sense that Tony Stark (who has Dr Strange as a Doppleganger) and Captain America (who seemingly has Captain Marvel as a Doppelganger) would be cleared off the board. I think Rhodie's gone, too, and the guy with the wings takes on the Iron Patriot mantle. I don't think anyone's going to *die,* though-- I think they're going to be taken out of play-- either through time travel or a trip to another dimension. The audience can move on, the actors can eat a slice of bread, and if Marvel is desperate they can pay up and bring them back.
This could end up being one of Marvel's "lesser" successes if they can't fix the marketing. I'm assuming there's a great movie here-- the MCU deserves a little faith but everything they've shown so far has been generic. The dialogue is straight out of a DC movie. Even the name sounds generic to me. As someone who's never read the comics, I have no sense of who she is, other than being vanilla powerful. It's a shame she couldn't make a good impression in Avengers first and be explained after that.
This movie is probably going to be good but the trailer is kinda generic, earnest "Wonder Woman meets Captain America." Almost DC-looking. Luckily trailers don't mean much. Looks like XXX-era Sam L will have a juicier role though, probably losing an eye by the end.
Funny, I never found the stupid VO particularly entertaining. It's actually kinda middling next to truly meme-worthy stuff like "All Your Base." Every Japan-made game I grew up with had poor translations, that was just part of the context of gaming at the time. Not even celebrated titles like MGS come across as "good" without a pinch of salt.
SotN is more than a cheesy nostalgia trip for me, and I'd rather see what the PSP version was like than repurchase a game that's already in my collection.
I finally got to see Solo. It was really, really fun-- like the original before all the canonical baggage. Every performance was good, and the romance worked. The action lacked a little bit, which I'd place on Ron Howard, but I don't even know how much involvement he had with those or if he had time to do them right.
