Well what can you say other than...wow! No one seen this coming.
What lead to the c-lister becoming the most used Hollywood hero? Let's look at it from the beginning.
First off, and this one is just my opinion, DCs failure to use the Flash. I truly believe if DC had a just used the Flash once...just one time Marvel would have never even considered using QS in the MCU. Flash was by far the most used and most popular speedster of them all. DC kinda had the patent on speedsters. But due to the current popularity of the MCU combined with DCs failure to utilize Flash arranged the perfect scenario for Marvel to swoop in and use a character who would have other wise never have been known to any other than a few comic fans.
Second, is the Fox/Marvel controversy. No sooner than Marvel made its announcement of QS in the MCU, BLAMO!! Fox did the exact same thing. You really can't fault em tho. They were afraid to lose a property to Marvel that was also rightfully there's. So whatever. Now we have TWO QSs. Because of this QS is an amazingly unique position. Not even Iron Man or Batman will be used more than QS over the next 10 years. Neither studio is willing to risk losing the property to the other by simply folding hands. For example. After Marvels announcement of QS in A2 Fox jumped at the chance to beat Marvel to the punch shoehorning QS into a spot that was originally intended for another mutant. So what does Marvel do? Beat Fox to the punch by adding a QS cameo to the end of TWS. THIS IS NOT GONNA STOP! Neither studio is gonna set by while the other studio profits off a property both own. Fox has already said QS would play a huge role in X: Apocalypse and I'm sure both studios will continue trying to oneup each other. This is just the beginning. QS will have reoccurring roles into separate universes at THE SAME TIME! Expect to see a lot of QS over the next only God knows how long.
Third. Simple. Everybody loves a speedster. And there's never been a major speedster in a quality film before until now. People will eat this up, both versions.
So I think this is pretty cool. Will be witnessing a hero rising to the ranks of the elite class over the next few years. So...what do you guys think? Excited for the silver speedster? Or maybe...just maybe you feel he won't catch on with the GA.
Sound off below!
