Holy Cameo Apperances, Batman! (possible spoilers)


Basically near the end at the super soldier auction. I am not a die hard Marvel fan, so I thought most of the buyers were one-off characters created just for this film but it wasn't until I did a little research that I found out they were established Marvel villains (albeit obscure in my opinion) . I should have recognized Taskmaster, though his colors were off from his traditional appearance.

Heck, even some of the supporting characters are not one-offs I learned, like Amadeus or Elihas (though the latter is more in-name only then anything). Apologies to any big-time Marvel fans that might be rolling their eyes at how I am not aware of who these characters are.

The big surprise for me was Captain Marvel's appearance; seeing as this is obviously based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Nick Fury clearly being the recent Samuel L. Jackson version rather than the traditional comics version), it comes as a surprise to me as all of the major heroes shown in this film have appeared in the MCU movies so far - except for her thus making her appearance a bit of an originality. I do think she looks better in her older Ms. Marvel outfit with the darker colors then her current "Captain" outfit, and what is with her Flock of Seagulls haircut in this movie?

That being said, in traditional with the low budgets animes usually have, I suspect it wasn't in the budget to have some of the characters such as Marvel, Thor, and War Machine to have speaking lines so they got the silent treatment. I mean, it wouldn't hurt IMO to have had them had grunts from even a random VA during the fight sequence.
