Would you guys like an A Force Movie?


As you all Marvel fans know the female Avengers team in named A Force.

So guys would you be interested in it?

I would more than Anything because Birds of Prey is happening soon and I think it would be interesting for Marvel to answer to them and show DC they can do female characters as good as them.

And The MCU would do something Original with the team like they did with The Avengers like Making Cap an Original member and changing Ant Man and The Wasp for Hawkeye and Black Widow.

So I think the MCU with their own spin on that team sounds cool. The single female heroes course was broken with Wonder Woman. I remember when we all thought female superhero movies didn’t do well but Wonder Woman proved it can work now maybe it would be Marvel could break the curse of female ensambles can work.

Ghostbusters and Oceans 8 proved it’s a bad idea a whole female ensamble cast but I feel like Birds of Prey and an A Force movie. Would challenge that point of view.


This is how I think marvel would do the Aforce team movie: Jane Foster Thor, Valkyrie, Scarlet Witch, The Wasp/ Hope, Captain Marvel and Gamora

I would be interested and my interest level has nothing to do with what WB/DC is or isn't doing with their characters. For me they are mutually exclusive as studios. I'm pretty sure the majority of audiences are of similar minds.

I would be very interested in A Force movie.

Sure, I'm up for it.

I would be interested if they make it a great movie. But if its nothing more then that cheese we got in end game when they had their "women empowered moment" then no thanks I'll pass.

The hard part of this, is why wouldn't the male characters be involved if the threat they are facing is world threatening? What are the odds that an event happens when only the female superheroes are available. Would the female heroes actually be interested in excluding male superheroes for no other reason then they are male??? You could try something like a lead up to Secret Wars where all the male characters are gone cause of that action, but again, why would that be only males?

I think this idea works better in comic book form and less so in the cinematic universe, but again, if they can pull out a great movie I'm all for seeing it.

You make great points on why this would look silly, never thought about it.
If they do it just for the sake of a having a female team could end up as wrong as the female ghostbusters movie or as bad as Oceans 8.

The only difference would be that we like and know the marvel ladies but the film could go completely wrong if they don’t give a reason why male characters won’t be fighting with them.

So yeah maybe that idea of an only female team is better on the comics and not taking it on screen. Maybe they’ll do it after secret wars but doing for the sake of it could look awful.

reply

I had the exact same thought. It's a prospect I'd definitely be excited for, but only if the female heroes team up without the men in a way that makes sense.

reply

And there it goes.... The usual paranoid reactionary nonsense.


Bring on the powerful ladies, Marvel! Even though there’s no reason to think a studio like you will drop the ball a la Ghostbusters ‘16, you know the menmenists and whincels will throw tantrums over an A force movie no matter how well made it can be. As always, they’ll complain and cry PC over any show of empowerment that isn’t straight white dude empowerment. Well, boo hoo.

Is it possible you meant to respond to someone else? Because I'm not sure how anything I said got translated into what you responded too.

In my first line I essentially said make a strong movie and I couldn't careless about anything else. I simply raised up the points about why it has a few extra hurdles.

Marvel has been phenomenal with their ability to tell a story, but they also put in that cringe worthy part of End Game where somehow in the entire battle all the women managed to be freed up, but none of the males were to help Captain Marvel transport the gauntlet. It was pathetic pandering, and all sides of the argument should agree on that. When powerful female characters are written well they don't need those over the top moments to sell them to the audience.

Scarlet Witch is and has been one of my favorite heroes for awhile, and I'm not sure why they powered up Captain Marvel and didn't simply take the much more obvious route of having Wanda unlock her reality altering abilities. This route would have unlocked the potential for the House of M storyline.

Scarlet Witch is a good character that has grown into her powers, Captain Marvel just busted on the scenes as the most powerful character in the marvel universe. Scarlet Witch is 100 times more interesting for this very reason.

I have read/watched tons of shows where the main character is a powered women(loved Buffy the Vampire slayer). it has never been an issue for me, and yet you somehow read my post and immediately warp my meanings to be part of some anti women crowd rhetoric... this is why I hate SJW and PC police garbage. You can't help yourself but try to find an enemy in everything that is put forward.

I'm pretty much interested in whatever Marvel plans to do with their cinematic universe because nothing thus far has been a major disappointment.

My only issue with this idea though is that I don't know how they'd organically gather all of the female heroes without any of the other heroes getting wind of a threat that requires a team to take on.

Also, I'm not quite sold on Jane Foster as Thor yet. That could very well change in Love and Thunder, but I'd much rather the mantle of Thor be passed to Valkyrie because she's already a bad was unlike Jane Foster. I don't have a problem with Jane, but she hasn't done a whole lot.

reply

Sure as long as Captain Marvel leads them.
