July initially reacted to Warlock writing on Twitter, “They have no idea what they’re doing out there.”

He added, “It’s absolutely pointless to bring him in now, considering Thanos’ departure. A failed opportunity.”

He detailed his thoughts on YouTube saying, “These guys don’t know what to do with some of these characters that are being introduced because I think there’s no real coherence with the Marvel Cinematic Universe nor for long.”

He continued, “Just like comic books, it’s become one of those things where you get a movie, you get a movie, you get a movie. And do whatever you want. We probably have a bunch of characters that you can choose from to include, but ultimately we don’t want you to be on Familiar with, let’s say, some types of source material as well as working consistently with your colleagues to make a coherent story.”

He specifically turned his attention to the appearance of Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3July said, “It doesn’t look very good. You’re absolutely right. That’s not even what I want to focus on. That’s throwing the ball. That’s the easy part.”

He went on to quote his tweet and then elaborate, “I called it a flop opportunity when it happened. I don’t think Warlock was one of those characters who got tied down in some rights issues they had because they alluded to his existence in a precedent.” Guardians of the Galaxy Movie.”

July continued, “And when you think about who Adam Warlock is, it’s basically what he’s known for – in the comic books, having Thanos there and not using the character when they were introduced was stupid. That was a complete drop of the ball and it was a failed opportunity.”

For those unfamiliar with Warlock comic history. He first appeared in Fantastic Four #66 Like him, a few years later Adam Warlock was introduced in Marvel Premiere #1.

He will continue to play a prominent role in Infinity Gauntlet A story featuring him as one of Thanos’ main enemies. He was going to stage a final battle against Thanos to deny him the Infinity Gauntlet though his initial plan to have the Silver Surfer snag the gauntlet when he attacked Captain America failed.

While his initial plan would be thwarted, his long term plan came to fruition and he would claim the Infinity Gauntlet as himself defeating both the arrogant Nebula and the proud Thanos.

After obtaining the gauntlet, Warlock will fashion himself a god who uses the power of the Infinity Gauntlet wisely.

Referring to this comic book story, July later states in his video, “There were so many opportunities and you neglected them for what? And now you’re introducing Thanos’ brother, you’re introducing Adam Warlock after Thanos is gone. It’s pointless. Now, it’s just you.” , “Hey, it’s IP farm, we have this character let’s use it.”

And I think that’s the frustration. If you’re not familiar with the books, it’s the most easy thing to do, he asserted. “Look man, these fans aren’t asking you to bend over backwards to get the material. No, it’s like, “Dude, show some love!”

Then he said, “Show us that you actually care about these people. That this material wouldn’t exist without these creatives, without these backers, these customers of this business. And then you just shun these characters.”

July’s comments mirror recent comments by former television director Paul Chateau. Appearing on Midnight’s Edge in The Morning #326, Chato stated, “I think in a lot of ways the MCU kind of destructive stuff in those comic books had its own character that was mostly writer-dependent. So you’d get Dan Slott.” Strong womanwhich is kind of what they messed up.”

But then you have John Byrne She-Hulk. There’s nothing stopping any of these companies from going, ‘Okay, we’re just going to do a Dan Slott, John Byrne, Galacticus Fantastic Four thing, and it has a beginning, a middle, and an end.’ He has his own cast. And then you get a new cast for the next one just like they do in the comics where they find a new artist and a new writer and you get a new experience,” he said.

“The MCU blew it because they took clips from adjacent comic series and pulled stuff from all of them and ruined that series,” he asserted. So you can’t even go back to the series they pulled ideas from to create a sequel arc from that edition. “The MCU poisoned the well in so many ways,” he concluded.

What do you think of the interpretation of July? Is there a reason to introduce Adam Warlock now with his main nemesis Thanos who has already been defeated multiple times in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by the Avengers?
