The Brothers: Investigations (4.3, BBC, 1974)

"Your father founded this company. Why do you want to sell shares to outsiders?"

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't."

"Then why did you allow it to happen? Hammond's has always been a family business. Well, your father would turn in his grave if he knew what you were doing."

"Then Father should have left me in control of it, instead of deliberately arranging the opposite! He didn't trust me, that's what it amounts to. He thought that I needed Brian and David and Jennifer Kingsley, but once they get together my hands are tied."

ok, so the other day my partner and i were talking about characters' names, the context being "oh, some characters don't match the names they were given" and it got me thinking... what would i name the love island characters if i had that power... or what they would name themselves... it gets a little mixed, don't worry about it.

i'm doing this or all seasons, especially the ones i didn't play because... it's fun and i already don't know/care about their grace.

alright, let's begin!

gary - SOLID KYLE, and i say this as a gary stan. he looks like someone who would chug on mountain dew and post those cowboy tik toks showing off his truck. i'm sorry but if you're american you know it's true and it's undeniable. idk what the british equivalent of that is... perhaps gary LOL

ibrahim - chadwick something the third. i remember seeing someone making fun of chadwick boseman (rest in peace) because his name is so white, and by rahim's behavior and way of talking it's giving carlton from 'fresh prince of bel-air. he's a fucking chadwick and you cannot convince me otherwise.

lucas - his father would want to name him fucking archibald because they're filthy rich, but his mom knows better, so she chose lucas. i think it's perfect for him and i wouldn't change it.

henrik - a solid andreas. look at him, he's an andreas! very sweet but still nordic enough to make you wonder.

bobby - probably the day of the week he was born, because if his parents are dumb enough to name him bobby, what would stop them from naming him friday? or maybe the season he was born, spring...

jakub - his name can stay the same because he looks like a jakub, HOWEVER, he would demand everyone to call him by his nickname: white shark

rocco - fernando. and not in the way you say it in english or spanish, but in portuguese. "faer-nã-doo", he would insist because... he's a douche.

graham - a hebrew name that means lovely, so like... jeremiah, or jebediah. probably jebediah. he does not give graham, he gives "catholic mother that is a little too lost in bible lore".

arjun - because he's conceited, (i like him but that smirk is so over-the-top) rahul. every fucking raul or rahul i've ever met was a conceited jerk so... call this based off life experiences.

elijah - it's giving william, maybe willard, even wilford. definitely a nickname that leads you to believe it's william but it's every other name under the sun except for the most common.

kassam is actually perfect, the right amount of exotic vanilla that he disperses.

carl - a nerdy name that wasn't necessarily born in the 40's, so leonard. it's a solid mix between young and old for me, and that's just who carl is. leonard is leo when he's younger, then stays solid for a 30-something-yo, then it's even more solid when you get old. granted, so is carl but i hate that fucking name.

noah - ambrose. um... SHOULD I JUST MOVE ON? it's perfect for him!

felix - (my partner said "lobster" without a second thought and i thought i would share with the class) but to me he looks like a solid martin, although he tries to make a nickname like max catch on, it's not successful.

the s2 girls:

lottie - she probably has a conservative name, like anne marie but lies about it saying she was named after a witch, like piper or sybil. final name would be piper (charmed fans will get it).

hope - viola. i love it, it's simple, small and it can mean so many things depending on what language you speak. in english is a type of violin, but in portuguese it's a type of guitar, and i love that for her. she's a very musical person so that's my name for her.

marisol - she's a solid valentina, the type of name that says a lot about personality. marisol, to me, is such a whimsical name. it doesn't say "intelligent, brave, bold", it says "i sell flowers by the road and wear a dress made out of hemp. also i call my vagina sacred temple." and that's not what homegirl is giving, so definitely valentina.

chelsea - i just hate the name chelsea, despite thinking she looks like one, so i'm naming her summer, because bright, hot, a little out there. everyone named summer (except the girl in The O.C) is a whimsical person, and that's how i feel she is.

hannah - she's a fucking daisy.

shannon - she's giving "my parents gave me the whitest name they could think of but i use a cool nickname" so i'm naming her madison but she calls herself "mad". her parents though? "maddie!"

blake - she's a fully-blown yasmin. it's the type of name that makes you second guess everything you thought about the person because you're not sure where that name is from, or what it means, and that's how i feel about her.

priya - i actually love that name for her, and i don't have as much contact with female indian names to have that... knowledge you know? i like it, keep it.

elisa - beatrice, but she uses "bea" and the bea-hive, because branding. WHY CALLING HER A NAME THAT CANNOT BE USED AS A BRAND, S2 WRITERS???? what was your thought process???

jo - every single girl i've met that is like jo was named angela. girls that will be like "i'll tell you one thing: i don't play games and i don't engage in drama" and baby, that's all they're doing, they're playing games and portraying an angel. fucking angela.

r!hannah - her name is still daisy but she corrects people, wanting to be addressed as "daze", because she's a bad girl now and fucking unbearable.

What other projects have you watched with got and hotd actors and how do you like their performance outside of got/hotd?

I’ve watched probably….most of Matt Smith’s filmography on account of watching Doctor Who in high school and falling in love with him. I think he’s incredibly talented and charismatic and genuinely perfect casting as Daemon. I had also seen Paddy Considine in that movie Pride altho I didn’t recognize him as Viserys lmao but i adore that movie, you should watch if you haven’t seen it, it’s about the Lesbians And Gays Support The Miners movement and I definitely cried watching it aksjdjd. I also watched all of bates motel as it was airing which olivia is in (and also the sound of metal, which she and riz ahmed are amazing in, and also riz steven and chadwick were robbed that year smh). olivia and matt are actually The Reason i started hotd lol i didn’t intend to watch it but then i was like oh…..but……….i love them aksjsjs.

I have technically seen Rhys in several things but he’s Fine. I am still mad about him having zero chemistry with Lucy Liu in Elementary and ruining an entire season by having negative rizz. why am i supposed to believe that man is like some great love of watson’s life when they don’t even look like they like each other. rhys count your fuckijg days. i’ve also seen graham mactavish in a number of things, the first being Outlander and he was like, one of the best antagonist characters in the show, was both excited and devastated when his character died hah he has one of my favorite lines in the show which is “the idea of grinding your corn does tickle me” 💀💀😂😂

For the main show, I had seen Charles Dance in Phantom (he’s really good even tho it’s a more romantic take on the story but that’s fine i still love it!!!), Lena, Peter, & Mark in like Most Of Their Filmographies bc i was already a fan of them, who hasn’t seen at least five Sean Bean deaths, and I’d seen a few Alexander Siddig, Ciaran Hinds, Iain Glenn, & Indira Varma in a bunch of stuff too and loved them - Kingdom of Heaven & Syriana & DS9, Persuasion & The Terror, Resident Evil, Kama Sutra.

I’ve seen Gwendoline, Elyes (he was Rakharo, rip to an icon), Thomas Brodie, Sophie, Maisie, Kit, Richard, Jason (Momoa), Michelle, and Tobias in a bunch of other stuff since I started the show. I think Gwendoline is incredibly talented, as are Sophie and Maisie. Richard imo usually needs a good script to shine - like Rocketman? amazing. Eternals? Meh - and Kit is uh. Sometimes he has good chemistry with other actors. I paid real money to see him in Pompeii and my sibling holds a grudge against me to this day for that one aksjd. Jason Momoa has a tendency to just play different versions of himself but the movie Red Road Redemption is real good, it’s about MMIW & his acting abilities really shine, I’d love to see him in more serious or more romantic roles and less action roles. I cannot praise Tobias Menzies more highly, hes in Outlander, The Terror, and the Crown and he’s just sublime in all of them and you’d never know it by the way they wrote Edmure. OH SHIT also obviously Jacob Artist in IWTV is amazinnnnnnng EGOT INCOMING and Nathalie Emmanuel was REALLY FUN in The Invitation!!!

Probably my favorite of everyone is Peter Dinklage tho, he’s very serious & choosy with his roles bc he doesn’t want to play a stereotype and it’s made his filmography just *muah* like it’s so interesting and varied and he puts his whole heart into every role however goofy or serious it is. i love him, i want him to be the romantic lead in more stuff bc i’m a romantic and also like, a pervert and he’s so handsome aksksk.

Also Ciaran Hinds & Amanda Root Persuasion >>>>>>>>>>> Those Other Two

#asks #anons #i think that’s everyone….. #nathalie was in like 2 seconds if the misfits so i recognized her but i hadn’t seen her in anything #i can’t even remember the first thing i saw dinklage in bc i remember watching narnia and going ‘hey i know him!!’ #i think penelope? which is the perfect movie i’m dead ass. by the time i was like 12 i was watching his backlist bc i loved him. #i have seen last christmas which was like. fine. #i also want richard to kiss more men on screen but that’s bc RICHARD clearly wants to kiss more men on screen akskskdkd.

Ramble of the month August 2023: 90’s MCU Phase 3 (2000-2003)

Back in May I posted my ideas for phase 2 of my hypothetical 90’s-based Marvel Cinematic Universe, having outlined phase 1 last year.  Following some recent frustrations with some superhero fan groups I recently joined on Facebook, I’ve decided to go back to this alternate film universe just as a way of talking about my superhero special interest without jumping through a bunch of idiot rules monitored by some truly moronic bots.  When AI can’t grasp concepts that are simple to an autistic mind like mine, you have to wonder why we’re trying to advance it when it’s clearly going to just adopt human stupidity over human intelligence anyway.

So, first let’s recap the key differences between the 90’s MCU and the one we know.  First, Marvel sold film rights to its characters in 1995 to avoid bankruptcy, and many of these were used by other film studios.  As a result, a 90’s MCU would have a wider range of characters to use if it started pre-1995 (mine starts in 1992).  In addition, there are differences between the source material created by the 1990’s and the source material used by the real MCU.  The Ultimates continuity didn’t exist until at least the year 2000, so there was no source material to justify a Black man playing Nick Fury.  Also, no Winter Soldier, no present-day Guardians of the Galaxy, no Civil War and so on.  My hypothetical MCU takes all this into account where the 90’s MCU memes of the internet do not.

Second, let’s recap the first and second phases of my 90’s MCU that were covered in the previous rambles;

Phase 1:

1992: Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man

1993: Thor, Spider-Man, Ant-Man & The Wasp

1994: Captain America: Fantastic Four 2, Iron Man 2

1995: X-Men, Avengers, Daredevil

Phase 2:

1996: Spider-Man 2, Thor: Land of Enchantment, Silver Surfer

1997: Hulk vs Wolverine, Fantastic Four: Doomsday, Iron Man 3

1998: Captain America: Society of Serpents, Daredevil 2, X-Men 2

1999: Avenger 2, Spider-Man 3, Doctor Strange

The first phase is about introducing the initial characters and setting up for the creation of the Avengers late in the phase.  Phase 2 is more about expansion, continuing to develop the existing characters while adding some new ones and starting off the general MCU rule of loss experienced in a third film; the F4 lost their original headquarters and Ben a chance at living a normal, human life, Tony Stark has lost his sobriety and the Iron Man mantle and Spider-Man has lost Gwen Stacy.  Phase 3 will follow all of this up with more losses for others, plus more development of existing characters and addition of new ones.  Unlike the real MCU, however, these early phases are not about building up for Infinity War, but rather for an adaptation of the original Secret Wars story of the 1980’s.  So, here’s a quick overview of my 90’s MCU phase 3 slate;

Phase 3:

2000: Fantastic Four: World War III, Thor: Ragnarök, Daredevil 3

2001: Hulk: Rise of the Leader, X-Men: Fall of the Mutants, Avengers: Under Siege

2002: Doctor Strange 2, The Captain, Spider-Man 4

2003: Captain Britain, Fantastic Four: Enter the Negative Zone, Ghost Rider

As you can see, phase 3 is similarly sequel-heavy to phase 2, but includes two new heroes, of which one (Ghost Rider) is set to have multiple solo films while the other is kind of a one-off ahead of involvement in an ensemble film in phase 4.  Now let’s look at each of the phase 3 films in turn;

Fantastic Four: World War III (2000) Directed by Steven Spielberg

Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic = Tom Hanks

Susan Storm (Richards)/Invisible Woman = Meg Ryan

Johnny Storm/Human Torch = David Spade

Ben Grimm/Thing = Bryan Cranston

Alicia Masters = Heather Graham

Namor McKenzie/The Submariner = Christian Bale

General Krang = Tim Curry

Lady Dorma = Katie Holmes

T'Challa/Black Panther = Chadwick Boseman

Shuri = Tatyana Ali

Ramonda = Alfre Woodard

T'Chaka = Courtney B. Vance

W'Kabi = Chiwetel Ejiofor

Okoye = Nia Long

Zuri = Joseph Marcell

Black Bolt = Pierce Brosnan

Medusa = Elizabeth Hurley

Crystal = Dina Meyer

Gorgon = J.G. Hertzler

Karnak = Alexander Siddig

Triton = Orlando Bloom

Maximus = Willem Dafoe

Falcona = Amy Yasbeck

Leonus = Karl Urban

Timberius = Adam Baldwin

This fourth film in the Fantastic Four franchise is an attempt to honour the fact that the F4 reintroduced Namor the Sub-Mariner and introduced Black Panther and the Inhumans all through their comic.  The basic plot is that Atlantis is attacked by what appears to be Wakanda, resulting in Namor staging a retaliatory assault on the Wakandan embassy in New York.  T’Challa is visiting said embassy, having recently assumed the Wakandan throne, and a massive battle ensues, with the F4 being first on the scene.  What initially follows is the F4 trying to end and then investigate the conflict.  Eventually, the team finds some of the attackers are part of the hidden race known as the Inhumans, and go to find their hidden city, with T’Challa and Namor now acting as their allies.

It turns out the Inhumans are being manipulated by the villainous Maximus, and events go fairly close to comics from there, ending with the seemingly permanent separation of Johnny Storm and his Inhuman love interest Crystal.  While the F4 and Alicia Masters are castings retained from previous three films, all the other characters are new to this film.  I’ve also retained Spielberg as director from film 3, as I feel his work on both Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan lends itself to the idea of a film about the F4 trying to stop a third world war from breaking out.

Thor: Ragnarök (2000) Directed by Kenneth Branagh

Thor = Dolph Lundgren

Loki = Gary Oldman

Odin = Anthony Hopkins

Frega = Glenn Close

Fandrall = Cary Elwes

Hogun = Tony Leung

Volstagg = Thomas Haden Church

Sif = Demi Moore

Heimdall = Keith David

Balder = Sean Bean

Jane Foster = Courtney Cox

Amora the Enchantress = Charlize Theron

Skurge the Executioner = Jean Claude Van Dame

Hercules = Arnold Schwarzenegger

Surtur = Clancy Brown

Hela = Cate Blanchett

Karnilla = Angelina Jolie

This is our third Asgardian visit, and unlike the main MCU, I’ve kept Ken Branagh directing the Thor films in this hypothetical run to avoid the tonal inconsistencies that have plagued the Thor films of the real MCU.  I’ve also decided that while this MCU will have the same title on its third Thor film, we’re not going anywhere near the pseudo-Planet Hulk plot.  Instead, the film begins with Loki, Amora and Skurge attacking Earth with the aid of some Asgardian trolls.  Thor and Hercules are aided by a visiting Balder and Sif, and Balder is badly wounded.  Thor enlists the aid of Balder’s admirer Karnilla to heal him, but her spell inadvertently triggers the release of Surtur, threatening the coming of Ragnarök.

Thor then leads an expedition to the realm of Hela, who in this MCU retains her position from the comics and original Norse lore as Loki’s daughter, not his and Thor’s sister.  In Hela’s domain lies the means to defeat Surtur, but Hela demands a soul, and ultimately Thor has to agree to remain in place of the artefact.  This puts an end to Thor solo films for a while, and also creates an interesting spin on the third-film-losses rule of the MCU.  In this case, Thor loses his “life” and his freedom in order to save his homeland, and also loses his romance with Jane Foster.

Daredevil 3 (2000) Directed by Quentin Tarantino

Matt Murdock/Daredevil = Christian Slater

Foggy Nelson = Jon Favreau

Karen Page = Denise Richards

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin = Bruce Willis

Bullseye = Colin Farrel

Elektra Natchios = Leonor Varela

Mary Walker/Typhoid Mary = Drew Barrymore

J. Jonah Jameson = J.K. Simmons

Joseph “Robbie” Robertson = Denzel Washington

Ben Urich = John Spencer

Turk Barrett = Gary Dourdan

Lt Nicholas Manoli = Paul Ben-Victor

Glorianna O'Breen = Tiffani Amber Thiessen

DA Blake Tower = Bradley Whitford

Yes, folks, this third (and final) Daredevil solo film would have Quentin Tarantino in the director’s chair.  This is because I’d be curious to see how Tarantino might do on a film like this.  In this case, it’s an amalgamation of the ‘Death of Elektra’ and ‘Born Again’ story arcs.  In effect, Karen Page has become a drug addict and trades Daredevil’s real identity, resulting in the Kingpin dismantling Matt Murdock’s life.  However, in this version, the release of that information also results in the death of Elektra, and that of Karen Page as well.  This leads to a major clash between Daredevil and his key adversaries, after which his life will never be the same again.  This is another example of third-film loses being enacted.  Many of the roles are reprised from the previous Daredevil films or incorporated from the Spider-Man films, with only the last three roles being new to this film.

Hulk: Rise of the Leader (2001) Directed by Sam Raimi

Bruce Banner/Hulk = John Cusack

Betty Ross = Jennifer Connelly

General Ross = Sam Elliott

Major Talbot = Steve Guttenberg

Rick Jones = Tobey Maguire

Emil Blonsky/Abomination = Sam Neill

Dr Leonard Samson/Doc Samson = David Duchovny

Sam Sterns/The Leader = John Shea

Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk = Lucy Lawless

Carl "Crusher" Creel/Absorbing Man = Michael Chiklis

Diana Davids/Ogress = Terry Farrell

Louis Lembert/Hotshot = Chris Evans

Jessica Harrison/Jailbait = Katrina Law

Here we have our third solo Hulk film, and this time his allies aren’t going to be from the world of the X-Men as in phase 2’s Hulk vs Wolverine.  Instead, this film brings the Hulk’s long-time foe the Leader into the fray, at the head of a group of gamma-powered villains.  Aiding the Hulk this time, we have his cousin Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk and gamma-powered psychiatrist Leonard “Doc” Samson.  In this film, Samson has helped Banner to develop some control over the Hulk, but thanks to the Leader’s actions, that is lost, along with the life of Betty Ross.

Having had Tim Burton direct the first two Hulk films in this MCU, direction is handed over to Sam Raimi on this instalment.  Now it occurs to me I haven’t specified how the Hulk would be realised in a pre-mo-cap era of the MCU.  Well, that’s down to a combination of animatronics/puppets akin to the early Jurassic Park films, combined with a bit of CGI and some careful editing.  That way, you can have an actor like John Cusack play Banner without needing a painted body-double, and that’s assuming Hulk films wouldn’t drive a development of mo-cap technology.

For the Leader, I picked John Shea based on his performance as Adam in the Mutant X TV series, as well as knowing that he played Lex Luthor in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.  Other new actors include Michael Chiklis (the Thing in the 2005-2007 Fox F4 films), Terry Farrell of Trek Fame, Katrina Law of Arrowverse and NCIS fame, and of course Chris Evans, the real MCU’s Captain America.  Lucy Lawless, in turn, takes on the role of She-Hulk while David “Mulder” Duchovny gets to play Doc Samson (assuming he's willing to build some muscle for this role).

X-Men: Fall of the Mutants (2001) Directed by Jonathan Frakes

Professor Charles Xavier = Patrick Stewart

Cyclops/Scott Summers = Patrick Swayze

Jean Grey = Milla Jovovich

Warren Worthington III/Angel = Neil Patrick Harris

Storm/Ororo Monroe = Halle Berry

Beast/Hank McCoy = Alec Baldwin

Banshee/Sean Cassidy = Liam Neeson

Polaris/Lorna Dane = Jeri Ryan

Havok/Alex Summers = Kevin Bacon

Robert Drake/Iceman = Michael Weatherley

Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler = Daniel Brühl

Wolverine/Logan = Tom Cruise

Mariko Yashida = Shu Qi

Kitty Pryde = Selma Blair

Sam Guthrie = Paul Walker

Roberto Da Costa = Mario Lopez

Tabita Smith = Anna Faris

Senator Robert Kelly = Robert Hays

Henry Peter Gyrich = David Caruso

Senator Graydon Creed = Joshua Lucas

Cameron Hodge = Bruce Davison

Calisto = Carrie-Anne Moss

Sunder = Kevin Nash

Ape = Gotz Otto

Annalee = Rosemary Harris

Plague = Gates McFadden

Caliban = Joe Pantoliano

Healer = Brian Cox

Sally Blevins/Skids = Amy Smart

Magneto = Ian McKellan

Fabian Cortez = Jason Flemyng

Chrome = Victor Webster

Sabretooth = Tyler Mane

Pyro = Hugh Jackman

Title aside, X-Fans shouldn’t expect any kind of like-for-like adaptation of the X-titles crossover event of the same name.  Instead, this film is about the X-Men being split apart and not getting back together for a while.  After an opening clash with Magneto and his new followers, the Acolytes, the X-Men return home, only for the mansion to be attacked by an anti-mutant terror group lead by Cameron Hodge and secretly backed by Senator Graydon Creed.  In the confusion, the “original” X-Men pursue those members of the terror group that abduct Professor X and a few students, Nightcrawler and Banshee escape to Muir Island with Kitty Pryde and most of the other students, while Storm and Wolverine lead the remainder down to the Morlock tunnels.

The Muir Island evacuees aren’t much covered during the rest of the film, with the focus being on the attempt to free Xavier and a further battle in the tunnels that decimates the Morlocks, something Magneto then turns to his advantage by recruiting Morlock survivors to his Acolytes.  We also finally get Pyro done correctly as an Australian mutant, and hints are dropped regarding the use of the proper Horsemen of Apocalypse in phase 4.  Director-wise, I retain Jonathan Frakes from my version of X-Men 2 since I think Trek alumni would have a great sensitivity to the messages and themes inherent in X-Men lore.

Avengers: Under Siege (2001) Directed by Roland Emmerich

Steve Rogers/Captain America = Brad Pitt

Thor = Dolph Lundgren

Janet Van Dyne/Wasp = Catherine Zeta Jones

Hercules = Arnold Schwarzenegger

Clint Barton/Hawkeye = Kevin Costner

Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow = Famke Jansen

Vision = Casper Van Dien

Sam Wilson/Falcon = Will Smith

T'Challa/Black Panther = Chadwick Boseman

Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff = Kate Beckinsale

Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff = Robert Sean Leonard

Edwin Jarvis = Mark Rylance

Col. John Jameson = Daniel Gillies

Michael O'Brien = Tony Curran

Bill Foster = Laurence Fishburne

Fabian Stankowicz = Tom Sizemore

Heinrich Zemo = Til Schweiger

Helmut Zemo = Sylvester Groth 

Dr Karla Sofen/Moonstone = Peta Wilson

David Canon/Whirlwind = Colin Cunningham

Mark Scarlotti/Whiplash = Jason Lee

Donald Gill/Blizzard = Robert Duncan McNeil

Constrictor/Frank Schlicting = Stephen Dorff

For this film, I’m trying to see the Avengers story arc of the same name adapted to the big screen.  The basic plot is that Baron Heinrich Zemo, son of the original Barom Helmut Zemo, assembles a group of anti-Avengers villains known as the ‘Masters of Evil’ and lays siege to Avengers Mansion.  It then falls to a mix of escaped current Avengers and some past/reserve Avengers to save everyone else.  In a sense, it’s kind of the Avengers equivalent to something like White House Down, hence my selecting of that film’s director for this one.  The film is a mix of existing casting and new stuff, and I’m not going to go into a lot of detail on who falls into which category.

Instead, I’m just going to quickly answer the question I’m sure many of you will be asking; how can Thor be in this if he’s been trapped in Hela’s domain after his last solo film?  Simple, she sends him to aid the Masters of Evil, but a hex bolt from the Scarlet Witch frees him for the big fight at the end.

Doctor Strange 2 (2002) Directed by Tim Burton

Dr Stephen Strange = Johnny Depp

Wong = Will Yun Lee

Clea = Keira Knightley

Dr Nicodemus West = Alan Rickman

Dr Christine Palmer = Helena Bonham Carter

Nightmare = Jonathan Pryce

Our second Doctor Strange film is quite a stream-lined one compared to the first, as it involves Strange teaching his apprentice/love interest Clea for a bit and then having to wade into mystic conflict with the dream-demon known as Nightmare.  This film is very much about developing the Strange-Clea relationship while also serving up a bit of mystic superhero horror, hence Tim Burton remaining my choice to helm the film.  Except for Nightmare, all casting is carried over from our first Dr Strange film in this 90’s-based MCU.

The Captain (2002) Directed by Tony Scott

Steve Rogers/Captain America/The Captain = Brad Pitt

Sam Wilson/Falcon = Will Smith

Barbara "Bobbi" Morse/Mockingbird = Rebecca Romijn-Stamos

Diamondback/Rachel Leighton = Neve Campbell

Clint Barton/Hawkeye = Kevin Costner

Jack Munroe/Nomad = Alessandro Nivola

John Walker/Captain America II = Aaron Eckhart

Lemar Hoskins/Battlestar = Michael Jai White

Johann Schmidt/Red Skull = Hugo Weaving

Brock Rumlow/Crossbones = Ron Perlman

Mother Midnight = Sela Ward

Dr Faustus = Brendan Gleeson

Henry Peter Gyrich = David Caruso

There are at least two notable occasions where Steve Rogers has given up his Captain America persona over multiple comic issues.  The first, in the 1970’s, led to him temporarily assuming the Nomad identity.  The second, in the 1980’s, led to the US government appointing a new Captain America while Rogers kept on fighting as the Captain.  This film is an adaptation of the latter arc; in this case, Rogers begins a romantic relationship with reforming snake-themed criminal Diamondback, which prompts NSA operative to investigate Rogers.  Trumped up charges based on circumstantial evidence then enables Gyrich to force Cap out of the uniform in favour of a new candidate.

At the same time, a neo-Nazi terror group is acting within the United States, and when the new Captain America refuses to look into it, Steve has to go back into action, aided by those closest to him, and this puts him at odds with his successor.  All this then leads to a clash with Cap’s resurrected arch-foe, the Red Skull.  Director-wise, I mainly know Tony Scott’s work from Beverly Hills Cop II and Unstoppable, but I know he also did Enemy of the State and one or two similar films at least, which would make him a good choice to do this particular Cap story.

Spider-Man 4 (2002) Directed by Martin Campbell

Peter Parker/Spider-Man = Wil Weaton

May Parker = Marg Helgenberger

Flash Thompson = Ben Affleck

J. Jonah Jameson = J.K. Simmons

Joseph "Robbie" Robertson = Denzel Washington

Betty Brant = Parker Posey

Ned Leeds = John Barrowman

Randy Robertson = Taye Diggs

Harry Osborn = Ryan Phillipe

Mary-Jane Watson = Alison Hannigan

Dr Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus = Alfred Molina

Herman Schultz/Shocker = Patrick Muldoon

Aleksei Sytsevich/Rhino = Jake Busey

Mac Gargan/Scorpion = Brian Bloom

Sergei Kravenoff/Kraven the Hunter = Gerard Butler

Adrian Tombs/Vulture = Richard Dreyfuss

Ben Urich = John Spencer

Captain Jean DeWolff = Jessica Biel

Detective Stanley Carter = James Marsden

So far, we’ve had two Spider-Man films from John Hughes and a third from Frank Darabont in this alternate MCU.  For the fourth instalment, Martin Campbell of Goldeneye and Mask of Zorro fame is my choice to take the helm.  In this instance, we’re going into our first Spider-Man film post-Gwen Stacy, and in this one, new adversary Doctor Octopus assembles a group of old enemies from the previous films, creating the ever-classic Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Six match-up.  The film also brings in Jean DeWolff and Stanley Carter to set up for elements of the Venom story-arc to be adapted, and that being on the horizon hints in turn at the impending Secret Wars film adaptation.  In addition, I’ve brough Ben Urich over into the Spider-Man films to maintain the sense of shared continuity in terms of Daily Bugle reporters being in the lives of more than one hero of the MCU.

Captain Britain (2003) Directed by Christopher Nolan

Brian Braddock Jr./Captain Britain = Jamie Bamber

Betsy Braddock/Psylocke = Lena Headey

Mordred = Angus MacFadyen

Morgan Le Fey = Catherine McCormack

Dane Whitman/Black Knight = Ioan Gruffudd

Meggan = Sienna Miller

Courtney Ross = Rosamund Pike

DI Dai Thomas = Mark Lewis Jones

Detective Kate Fraser = Kate Winslet

Brian Braddock Sr. = Jeremy Irons

Elizabeth Braddock = Imelda Staunton

Jamie Braddock = Ewan McGregor

Merlin = Terence Stamp

Roma = Rachel Weisz

Much in the same way that Wonder Woman had a female-led production crew and Black Panther was similarly led by Black film makers, I honestly believe you could only ever get a great Captain Britain film if you put some great British talent into things.  As such, I had to go for a British director of great quality, and Christopher Nolan is certainly one of those.  Plot-wise, it’s very much about creating a more consistent version of what Captain Britain was over the years in first Marvel UK comics and then in the Excalibur off-shoot of the X-Men.  Brian Braddock is supposed to be the Champion of Britain, chosen and tried by Merlin, and while originally created with a lot of US superhero sensibilities by Chris Claremont, much of what he later became was due to a massive ret-con by Alan Moore.  However, the Merlin element and the hero being of Britain means a good origin film would probably feed some Arthurian legend in, and this is something also relevant to Avengers member the Black Knight.

As such, the plot of this film would establish the Black Knight as a modern-day hero who needs help against the returning evil of King Arthur’s illegitimate son Modred and his mother, Morgan Le Fey.  To that end, Merlin and his daughter Roma seek out Brian Braddock and cast him into the role of Captain Britain.  He and the Black Knight, further aided by Brian’s mutant twin sister Psylocke and the mutant shape-shifter Meggan, battle Mordred and Moran, as well as errant elder sibling Jamie Braddock.  Also included is Detective Inspector Dai Thomas, a Welsh-born Scotland Yard policeman who hates superheroes ever since his wife was killed when the pair visited the US.

In terms of casting, I’ve tried to honour the idea of Brian and Betsy being twins by aiming for actors that look similar and are of similar age, as I don’t think anyone makes any effort in this respect of fan-casting.  With Jamie Bamber being my choice for Brian, I then had little hesitation casting his old Hornblower co-star Ioan Gruffudd as Dane Whitman.  Everyone else has then been about just trying to get the best British actors that I think match the roles at hand.  Frankly, I hope that someone at Marvel sees this some day before they start on a Captain Britain project and take heed, because somehow, I suspect they might not and would mess things up somewhat, especially if they try to put Psylocke into their X-Men films with no ties to her twin.  Bad enough having that in the Fox X-Verse films due to film rights issues without the MCU repeating that error.

Fantastic Four: Enter The Negative Zone (2003) Directed by Ridley Scott

Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic = Tom Hanks

Susan Storm (Richards)/Invisible Woman = Meg Ryan

Johnny Storm/Human Torch = David Spade

Ben Grimm/Thing = Bryan Cranston

Alicia Masters = Heather Graham

Black Bolt = Pierce Brosnan

Medusa = Elizabeth Hurley

Crystal = Dina Meyer

Gorgon = J.G. Hertzler

Karnak = Alexander Siddig

Triton = Orlando Bloom

Maximus = Willem Dafoe

Annihilus = Eric Bana

Blastaar = Colm Feore

This is now our fifth Fantastic Four film, and it’s an adaptation of the first Sue Richards pregnancy storyline from the comics.  Sue is pregnant, but the cosmic radiation that has given her powers may interfere with the birth.  To ensure it won’t, Reed determines to find a remedy, and discovers one can be found in the parallel universe known as the Negative Zone.  At the same time, the Inhumans manage to free themselves from the confinement imposed on them by Maximus, and Crystal substitutes for Sue on the quest into the Negative Zone.  This quest, however, brings the team into the middle of an on-going war between the empires of Annihilus and Blastaar, and it becomes a battle of long odds to find their prize and escape before it’s too late to help Sue and the baby.

In light of the alien setting, I figured that Aliens director Ridley Scott would be a good choice to take over the direction, and we add Eric Bana and Colm Feore to the array of actors already cast in past films.

Ghost Rider (2003) Directed by Tim Burton

Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider = Connor Trinneer

Roxanne Simpson = Jessica Alba

Craig "Crash" Simpson = Jeff Bridges

Mona Simpson = Julianne Moore

Barton Blaze = Nick Nolte

Blackheart = Wes Bentley

Mephistopheles = Jeffery Combs

Much as I enjoyed the 2007 film version of Ghost Rider, I always felt it had its flaws, including a lead actor with the wrong hair colour and an over-simplified origin story.  This film, which is helmed by Tim Burton for relatively obvious reasons, seeks to fix those errors.  First, we have Connor Trinneer of Star Trek: Enterprise fame taking on the lead role.  Second, the film sticks to the idea of Johnny becoming the Ghost Rider because he wanted to honour a deathbed promise to his foster mother, hence why the family of Roxanne Simpson plays into the cast.  After the origin part plays out, the film then goes into the matter of Johnny having to tackle Blackheart for Mephistopheles, with Roxanne being as much ally as love interest in this version.

The only casting retained from the 2007 Ghost Rider film is Wes Bently playing Blackheart; everyone else is newly cast.  As for why I didn’t retain Eva Mendes as Roxanne, the source material had her as white, and I prefer to either create new characters or use existing ones for purposes of adding diversity.  Since Roxanne Simpson doesn’t fit either method, I’ve cast Jessica Alba in that role, and I’ll hopefully have more diversity to showcase in later phases of this alternate MCU. So, that’s everything outlined for phase 3 of our 90’s MCU for now.  Next month, I plan to outline phase 3 of my alternate DC film universe, and then with some luck I might be able to do something more topical/general interest after that.  Anyway, until the next ramble, ta-ta-for now.
