Ten fan acquisition theories for Marvel movies
As the connections between timelines in the Marvel Cinematic Universe become increasingly complex, there seem to be more and more unsolved mysteries. For the infinite possibilities of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, unsolved mysteries seem to have more than one answer, some of which may never give a true answer. But sometimes fans can find a reasonable answer to those lingering questions by interpreting some relevant screen content, although this answer may not be unique.
One of the greatest pleasures for fans watching Marvel Comics is interpreting the meaning behind those small moments in the film. By repeatedly reviewing problematic scenes, referencing the plot and some comics, they can indeed come up with some reliable theories that are not only relevant but also practical. Of course, not all theories will eventually come true, but whether it's the audience theories deliberately chosen by Marvel Comics or the theories originally designed by Marvel Comics, many of the theories from fans have indeed come true.
The Illusion of the Avengers
When Wanda first appeared in the MCU, she used the power of magic to manipulate the thoughts of the Avengers, causing them all to experience a terrifying illusion. At the time, some fans believed that this illusion was a precursor to a certain scene in the future Avengers, which later proved to be a prelude to Avengers: Endgame.
When Captain America said, 'You could have saved us,' Iron Man also had a premonition of an inevitable brutal battle. Many of Tony's imaginations later turned into reality, including Captain America's broken shield, Natasha's death, and Banner's injured arm. To some extent, that time Wanda actually showed the Avengers their respective futures and hinted to the audience about the heroes' later experiences. Tony died in the final battle, Thor fulfilled the gods' prophecy at dusk, Captain America returned to the past, and Hulk's performance was mediocre.
Peter Parker in Iron Man 2
After Peter Parker's Spider Man appeared in the Marvel Universe, many people noticed Tony Stark's way of addressing Peter, similar to the unnamed child in Iron Man 2. Iron Man saved a child. When he stood in front of the armor, he said to the child, 'Well done, child,' and quickly left.
When Iron Man kept calling Peter 'child', fans quickly noticed the connection between the two and believed that the timeline was indeed related. In addition, if the audience at the scene listened carefully, they could hear someone shouting 'Peter' repeatedly in the distance. This fan theory proves that Spider Man has not only been a part of the Marvel universe since Iron Man 2, but also implies that Iron Man is his teacher. Many fans are looking forward to the role of the first Avengers in nurturing the next generation of new heroes.
Garfield's Spider Man saved MJ
After Gwen's tragic death in Supernatural Spider Man 2, Peter (played by Andrew Garfield) is deeply saddened by the death of his lover, leaving an incomplete and regrettable ending for this version of Spider Man.
After the release of the trailer for "Spider Man: No Way Home", fans first predicted the possibility of "three spiders in the same box" among numerous promotions. Later, many fans predicted that Toby Vincent Maguire and Garfield would not only participate in this movie, but Garfield would also save the current MJ from a similar tragic accident that took "his MJ's" life, providing redemption for his own version of Spider Man and putting an end to it.
Rocky stole the Rubik's Cube.
In Thor 3: Twilight of the Gods, Loki (Tom Hyde) helps Asgard rescue him from Hela's wrath. Many viewers may think that this is a manifestation of Loki's rehabilitation after Odin's death. However, soon some fans denied it, believing that it was seriously inconsistent with the personality of the prank god.
The scene of Rocky resurrecting Sutur with Eternal Fire did not truly convince fans that the Rubik's Cube was destroyed, due to his innate deceitful nature and Thanos' desperate search for all the gems. Avengers: Infinity War confirms that fans' judgment is correct. Loki stole the Rubik's Cube before Twilight and ultimately donated the gem directly to Thanos.
Captain America picked up the Hammer of Thunder.
In Avengers: Endgame 2, there is a scene where Avengers gather together. Later, it was proven that this was a severely underestimated scenario. Many viewers believe that this is to give everyone a glimpse of the Avengers' interactions in normal life and showcase their friendship outside of the battlefield. It's actually not that simple.
At that time, all Avengers attempted to lift Thor's hammer, but Captain America's (Chris Evans) attempt was shaken by the hammer. At that moment, Thor and the audience may have been scared, but under the careful cover of the director, the moment was brief because Steve himself immediately admitted his failure. However, many viewers saw through the meaning of this moment and were very certain that the US team would pick up Thor's hammer in the future.
The role of quantum field
In Ant Man, Scott Long (played by Paul Luther) accidentally enters for the first time and successfully escapes from the quantum field. Fans speculate that the quantum field will play an important role in the future of the Marvel universe. As predicted in the end, Janet still lives in the quantum field, and the main story of Ant Man 2 revolves around their mission to save Janet.
Then it once again played an irreplaceable role in reversing Thanos and saving the universe. Based on the concept of quantum field, fans continue to boldly speculate on the future role of MCU. Many fans now believe that the Time Difference Administration (TVA) and the next heavyweight villain Kang are related to quantum fields, and the development direction of quantum fields in Ant Man 3 has also received more expectations from viewers.
Stan Lee's true character is a Watcher.
Stan Lee is the creator or co creator of many superheroes. He made a brief cameo appearance in over 20 movies throughout his life. Fans know that his frequent appearances on screen are a tribute to the real-life creators behind the comics, but at the same time, some fans speculate that Stan Lee himself actually plays a more important role in the Marvel universe.
This is his most famous guest appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, not only his longest screen appearance, but also providing him with a background story that connects his previous guest appearances and clarifies his identity as a night watchman.
TVA is actually evil
When Loki picked up the Rubik's Cube and escaped from the building, it triggered a branch of the divine timeline. Later, when he was arrested by the Time Difference Administration for allegedly disrupting the sacred timeline, many viewers questioned why TVA did not take any action against Thanos' time travel.
So many fans believe it's not that simple, TVA just controlled the timeline for their own benefit. As expected, the ending of the first season of 'Loki' made it clearer for the audience to see. The entire TVA and the sacred timeline were created and controlled by the testator, and this larger conspiracy has not yet been exposed.
The Death of Tony Stark
Since 2008, Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) has become an indispensable part of the Marvel Universe and almost the most popular character in Marvel Comics. Even when there was news of Robert Jr.'s retirement, most fans hoped that Marvel Comics could give Iron Man a happy ending, but in reality, most fans speculated that he had to die to save the universe.
Tony almost died several times, such as his self sacrifice in the first Avengers movie. At that time, fans even thought he would die immediately. Not only is the contract with Marvel Studios coming to an end, but in some ways, Tony Stark is also the ideal candidate to make the ultimate sacrifice. Fans know that this is related to many other factors of this actor.
The Eye of Agamoto is the jewel of time.
In Doctor Strange, Aga Moto Eye first appeared in MCU and belongs to the Ancient One. Later, it was used by Doctor Strange to distort time and create an endless cycle of time to defeat Doma. At that time, it was proven that the Aga Motorcycle Eye was a time stone.
After the Easter eggs at the end of Avengers: Endgame, fans began to chase after all the Infinity Stones. Prior to this, these infinite gems were cleverly introduced as part of Thanos' larger conspiracy, sometimes very concealed. Although the Space Gem, Reality Gem, Soul Gem, and Power Gem have all been confirmed, the audience's enthusiasm at that time had already seen through almost all six Infinity Gems, but they didn't know when these gems would come together.
