Hi random people of the internet :)
After watching the Black Widow movie last year (I bought it on Disney+ as I am disabled and there is no cinema in my town.. its very expensive to go all the way to clydebank and get home, also the pandemic, pretty much everything is closed and rightly so) I was fascinated with David Harbours Red Guardian..from the first time I saw him in Stranger Things I knew he was a top shelf actor of quality.
So as the Red Guardian, hoping for the same high quality acting.. result: I was not disappointed.
Red Guardian to me seems very different than Captain America, with a shift in balance.
Red Guardian seems to have a lot less stamina, but his strength seem almost Hulk like. Somewhere between Steve Rogers and the Hulk, leaning more heavily towards the Hulk.
I'm not saying he is a slouch in stamina.. he has stamina! But Steve Rogers has more.. Steve is also much weaker.. we saw Alexi throw a massive container like it was nothing.
At first I wanted a Red Guardian TV show.. but after watching Falcon and Winter Soldier and not enjoying that particular Disney+ show (the rest I have thoroughly enjoyed, esp Loki) I have changed my mind.
I think a re-do of Avengers Assemble with the Winter Guard would be a great nostalgia trip, of course not 100% re-do.. but bring back those good vibes of the assemble against a great threat to the Earth.
Team
Red Guardian (David Harbour)
Red Widow (Rachel Weisz) I had also thought of 'White Widow' due to her movie costume but Red Widow is already copyrighted as a Marvel character so..
Ursa Major (Olivier Richters)
Chernobog
Uncast.. but I see him as a cross between an Ice Giant and a Dark Elf, with unparalleled powers of illusion mixed with horror. He himself is as strong as an Ice Giant and so not a million realms away from Thor in terms of strength.
Imagine if.. his mother was a Dark Elf and his father a Ice Giant, both races would cast the other out, if his father died while they were being cast out and his mother raised him, but then Odin during the conquest of the 9 realms with Hela, killed his mother.
Now what if like Scarlet Witch, Captain Marvel, Spectrum/Photon .. this already best of both worlds character was 'touched' by the Ether of the Dark Elves.
If he was on a revenge kick to kill Odin and Hela and sought out the Ether.. but while the Ether not accepting him, it gifted him with a terrible ability as recompense for his suffering, that he should be able to share that pain with others.
Oh flip.. this movie writes itself!
He gets to Asgard and even has a boss fight with Odin, but Odin uses the Odin-Force and banishes him to a pocket dimension. After this Odin begins to re-think his conquest and has an argument with Hela, who says if he won't keep order she will dethrone him. They fight and Odin uses the Odin Force again to win.
When Odin dies Hela is released from her prison.. but in Russia far from any eyes in the winter northern cold.. Chernobog steps out of a portal.
Taskmistress (Olga Kurylenko) I would like to see her become 'Darkstar'.
Vostok
uncast..
Doing a straight copy and paste of Vision I feel would be wrong.. so if you come with me..
Ex-Soviet soldier & scientist Anatoly [ redacted ] ran an USSR project parallel to the Winter Soldier (Hydra pretending to be Russian/KGB) and The Red Room (Leviathan pretending to be KGB).. to replace body parts.
After many failures (deaths of volunteers) and with the project under threat.. he decided to perform multiple procedures on himself, so he created 'The Horror Chamber'.. much like Futurama's suicide booth..
He survived and made himself a cyborg, half-man half-machine.. this was back in the 1960s.. today he is publically forgiven for his past actions (volunteer deaths) he externally fully metal.
Looking like a cross between Iron Man and Vision but black and red. internally he has replaced his muscles and a few organs but has one lung, his heart and brain (plus smell, one eye, taste, some of his junk etc).
His exterior is made of micron frost uru sealed vibranium.
Personality.. formerly arrogant and conflicted, now quiet, wise, patient, humble.
those are my thoughts (so far).. now if you'll excuse me my internet have been awful for ages and I'm going to try to fix it.
покой (peace)
