Give it time. Marvel will make her into Magneto's daughter again at some point. Just like how Marvel will eventually bring back Wolverine.

Avengers: Infinity War Inspired By ’90s Heist Films.

Quote:
During an interview with Comic Book at the 2017 San Diego Comic-Con, Joe Russo talked about how the thrilling and fast-paced beats of ’90s heist films influenced Infinity War:

“My brother and I like use movies (because we’re film geeks) as influences for us. Sometimes, with so many people working on these films, it’s just great to show them footage or talk about a film that everyone knows so you understand the tone, or the theme, or the structure that you’re playing with. Structurally, with this first film, Avengers 3, we’ve been using the smash-n-grab ’90s heist films, so there’s a real urgency to the film. I feel like it adds a level of excitement and relentlessness to the pace of the movie. And it’s a lot of divergent narratives coming together into a climax.”

The best comic book movie of all time (#justmyopinion) is practically a remake of Heat, so 90's heist cinema has been good for the genre.

The film Witch is way de-powered compared to her comic version.
She only seems to be a Infinity Stone mutated telekinetic.
There has been no mention of probability manipulation.

Strange in the comic is powerful without the Orb of Aggamotto.
The film version seems to still be learning the mystic arts, and had unlocked the Time Stone.

Strange for the W.

Everyone in the MCU is de-powered. Black Bolt's voice doesn't do as much damage, Spider-Man couldn't even beat Vulture, Ultron isn't unbreakable, and I can go on and on.

They Inhumans series hasn't even got started, but it doesn't look very good does it.

Spider-Man is just getting started in the MCU though. Homecoming was about figuring out who he really is and discovering self reliance, but he did beat Vulture in the end. We don't actually know what happened to Ultron. We only saw a flash of light. No shame in being taken out by an Infinity Stone though.

But we already seen Black Bolt break silence in the trailer, though. Sure it wasn't loud, but that small sound should have still caused damaged to the entire city.

Spider-Man barley beat Vulture. In fact, I heard that the items that Vulture was carrying was the actual reason why Vulture's suit was about to blow up. I could be wrong, though. Anyway, I get it. He just started out as Spider-Man. I'm just saying if he had that much trouble with Vulture, imagine fighting all of the other villains like Doc Ock for example. Not Spider-Man 2's Doc Ock. I'm talking about the more menacing Doc Ock.

As for Ultron, I agree. He could come back. That's Ultron's whole gimmick, which is he can never truly die. Where as someone like Thanos could get cancer and shit. Ultron just keeps on coming back stronger and stronger every time he gets defeated. That's what makes him The Avengers most personal and dangerous enemy. So I hope they bring back Ultron one day, and play around with that idea. I don't see why not? They keep bringing back Loki and Thanos in the MCU, but Ultron has fought The Avengers the longest in the comics.

Now I can't stop picturing a version of American Splendor featuring Thanos.

You are correct. Marvel has nerfed their heroes and villains in their movies.

Vibranium is not adamantium it can take punishment but is breakable. Ultron Primes shell was not destroyed, Scarlett Witch pulled out his "heart".

I know vibranium isn't as strong as adamantium, but still. There was never those "oh shit!" moments with Ultron like in the cartoons and comics. Hulk, Thor, and Vision were able to take him on easily. Where as in the comics, they couldn't lay a hand on Ultron.

Also I don't know why Fox and Marvel can't share the film rights to adamantium? Adamantium was first used by Ultron before Wolverine.

It's not about what happened when in the comics, it's about who made what movie with complicated rights issues therein, otherwise it'd just be a free-for-all based on decades of convoluted comic book lore. Yes, Sony went to Marvel practically begging for a tie-up after their Spidey reboot ran out of steam but Fox ain't Sony.

I'm just saying the film rights between Fox and Marvel are weird. Like how do these studios determine what stays, what goes, what do they have to share? First appearances don't mean anything. Otherwise, Black Panther and Inhumans would be at Fox. So I'm thinking it has to do with how closely associated these characters, story and elements are to the brand. I always saw Skrulls mainly as Fantastic Four villains. Yet they are in the MCU. Yeah, you can argue that Skrulls are Marvel villains in general. But you can say the same about Galactus as well.

Loki is an interesting Character so hope not(he isnt my fave - thats Rocket and Stark/IM)

Also, some of it can be shown post Infinity War I think because I have a very strong suspicion that a LOT of this stuff with Thanos takes place off Earth with a few of the major earth based Avengers and cosmic character and his henchmen are on Earth for the most part.

Then maybe that's why it's possible for them to keep going in terms of the story or the solo movies will be all set between the events or slightly before filling us in on why some might not have joined the main fight.
so post Avengers 4, many movies would be prequels in the MCU?

that could work (and to be honest, I'd like to see some more heroes introduce Capt Marvel style)

but a few cast member have slipped about 'going back to film Gauntlet'....

I'm assuming part 1 will end like Deathly Hallows P1. Voldemort finds the Elder Wand. Thanos collects the final Infinity Stone.
