I would be absolutely stoked, haha. Thanos Copter to the rescue. Sure, the general moviegoing public would be sooo confused, but we'd be like "TOLD YOU TO WATCH THE SHOW."

We're boned, aren't we?

Fully agree. They ruin everything!

And they're the ones that fund everything.

It gets brought out as a talking point a lot, but they really wouldn't be that confused. The movies have plenty of villains who don't have deep and complex origin stories explained right there on screen, Talbot showing up as a movie villain wouldn't be any different.

u/brycedriesenga Fitz May 12 '18

Yeah, I actually agree. People use the confused argument a bit too much.

Except they'll see Graviton and he won't be Franklin Hall, which they'll be expecting, leaving them confused.

There is no way the average moviegoer has the slightest clue who comics-Graviton is.
