Earth's Mightiest Heroes - Season 2 (2013)

Michael Korvac was a scientist for S.H.I.E.L.D. Once he stumbled across a forest in Boston, he found a Kree organism that tangles and binds with him. Left from the Captain Marvel movie. The organism plant turns Korvac into a living weapon that has multiversal level of abilities. The Avengers would handle Korvac in a facility, though the organism will change Korvac's personality, later driving his motivation. We would get to know more about Korvac before his transformation. Korvac will team up with the Badoon Empire. The Avengers would team up with the X-Men in retaliation. The second season would be subtitled as ''The Korvac Saga'', a 12 episode season.

Captain Marvel (2013)

In the 1990's, Carol Danvers is suffering from amnesia and keeps getting flashbacks from a life she once had. Her whole life, she thought she was a Kree soldier of high authority. Once she lands on Earth after a disastrous mission, she is greeted by Nick Fury. She is being hunted down from the Skrulls. After an autopsy of one of the Skrulls, Fury and Carol later find out that the Kree weren't the good saints they said they were. The Kree Commander, Ronan and the Supreme Intelligence initiate an attack on Carol. After the battle, Carol kills Ronan and frees the Skrull refugees. Carol will be a warrior who we can connect with and want to route for during her journey to unravel a space mystery. We can see the time period being a hindrance for them and the early stages of Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. Captain Marvel should open the MCU for cosmic worldbuilding and nostalgia that will connect the MCU further and ask questions that were a mystery.

Mutants - Season 2 (2013)

The second season of Mutants, subtitled as ''The Astonishing X-Men''. It will focus on the international mutant recruits. We see the original X-Men be mentors to help train the new generation. Though, Logan, one of the mutants have a mysterious past and an unlikable attitude. It creates conflict and builds character arcs for the crew. Meanwhile, we see Magneto recruit Mystique, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver etc. The Brotherhood of Mutants are reborn to take revenge upon Xavier. From here we can witness Magneto doing his ruthless crimes, such as creating Asteroid M and taking over Genosha. During the course of the season, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch grow more unsure and worried of Magneto's actions and later depature him to join the X-Men. Nightcrawlers arc with Mystique and Azazel will make his character have more depths and nuance. Storm will have an arc on par to Nightcrawler, Wolverine and Cyclops so we can believe she is a good successor for Scott to become the leader of the X-Men.

Thor: The War of the Realms (2013)

The Dark Elves led by the charismatic Malekith has conquered nearly all of the Nine Realms. Thor and his team of Asgardians go around to save suffering races. After the event of the first Thor film, it has made Asgard more vulnerable to threats. This space adventure will explore more of the nine realms that have been in a mystery. Introducing more compelling and nuanced characters such as Malekith and Beta Ray Bill. Taking inspiration from the Star Wars franchise with a Norse mythology background. A plot twists that changes Thor's perspective on his own kingdom makes him have battles with his own identities whilst struggling with Jane in a relationship. Loki will be given a character arc in which he uses his illusions for good and betraying Malekith and sacrificng himself. Odin will leave Asgard, leaving his reigns to Thor.

Wakandan Ledgends: Black Panther (2013)

We witness T'Challa growing up from a teen to an adult into the role as the Black Panther. We see him go through the trauma of loosing his father and uncle to Klaw. This 75 minute special will expand the MCU and introduce new cultures, afro-futurism and a political view. This will serve as a gateway to a BP trilogy. At the end of the special, T'Challa finally becomes king of Wakanda. A tale in which completes his character arc. This will also introduce Storm as a love interest, so we get to know her before she is recruited in the X-Men.

Iron Man III: The Ten Rings (2013)

This story will take inspiration from the ''Demon in a Bottle'' comic. This event will have Tony go down a dark path, in which the viewers will route for him to stop his addiction. During Tony's arc, Tony gives Pepper the keys to Stark Industries as a co-C.E.O. Rhodey has became the face of the U.S. Tony has a new rich billionaire rival, Norman Osborn. Osborn ends up becoming a true friend to Tony and even helps him with his addiction. In the midst, the Mandarin is operating his plans to take revenge on Stark all these years later. Tony blows up the Iron Legion and gives time to be with Pepper, marrying her. This path sends Tony to give Iron Man a new role in the world and a better hero.

MCU Phase 2 Slate (2013-2015)

This is the second phase of my rebooted MCU series. This phase will introduce more characters, cosmic and grounded. Allowing more room to adapt both original and comic book stories. The title, ''Rebirth'' gives contrast to the previous title. While the first phase birthed and shaped our heroes, this phase will break them and have them go through a renewal on their beliefs and standards. After a trumatic downfall, a triumphant and grand return will arise in the midst. Making them more human and sacrifices will come. Before they had god status, now it's time to let the gods become men. I present to you, ''Rebirth''.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes - Season 1 (2012)

The final project of Phase 1 ends off with the debut of an Avengers series. This season will be subtitled ''Hail H.Y.D.R.A.'', an 8-12 episode season would do alot of character and worldbuilding. I would like to include War Machine and Captain Marvel as the new heroes of the team. We can have Captain Marvel be lowkey and secretive of her past. This could be foreshadowing for her future movie in Phase 2. H.Y.D.R.A. will be lurking in the background as operatives and the return Red Skull being in the shadows. Twists and turns will give the show a thriller/horror feel. Another element I would have is a sort of 'villain of the week' method to expand the world.

The Avengers (2012)

S.H.I.E.L.D. unites the Avengers recruits. Their plan is to retrieve the Space stone from Red Skull. Red Skull was reportedly dead for nearly 70 years. Really, he ascended to the cosmos, in which he became a pawn to Thanos and the Black Order with a debt to pay. Carrying the debt, Red Skull also wants to bring upon his H.Y.D.R.A. ideology onto others. With the Avengers, Tony is learning to work with people, Banner is learning to control his anger, Thor wants justice for Asgard, Black Widow wants to fulfill her mission, Hawkeye wants to go back to his family as soon as possible, Janet will be the heart of the team while Hank is learning to share his secrets to others and warming up to others. While Steve is still trying to fit into modern society. The team has a mission to do and the attack on New York and the passing of Agent Coulson is what assembles the team. In the end, Stark has a character arc in which he turns his HQ into the 1st Avengers base.

Mutants - Season 1 (2012)

Mutants Season 1, subtitled as ''The Hellfire Club''. An 8 episode show with an hour long runtime to properly flesh out characters and worldbuild. This will bring a whole other side to the MCU, expanding the universe. We can get flashbacks of Xavier's past, showing that he wants to cover up his past. Magneto's backstory will be explored as the Holocaust, with H.Y.D.R.A. partially involved. It makes the universe more connected in brilliant ways. Cyclops and Jean will start a romantic relationship while we can show the corruption of the Hellfire Club. I would like to introduce the Juggernaut. 1. I want to do him right after Last Stand 2. He's a fun and bizarre looking character 3. He will add to Xavier's plot point of his past coming back to him.

The Uncanny X-Men (2011)

The X-Men is a mutant group who has been around since the 1990's at this point. They use cerebro to find mutants who need help. Xavier sends Scott and Bobby to recruit Warren III. Warren can be used as the viewers eyes for how mutants are treated and how the MRD are operated. Each of the X-Men's personality compliment each other in different ways with Warren being the heart of the team. Magneto will be the main antagonist, sharing the same goals with Xavier. We get the sense the two had a past together and something tragic happened that destroyed their bond.

The Immortal Hulk (2011)

The plot kicks off with Banner being hesitant about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operation of gamma mutates. Bruce searches the world to learn more about gamma mutates and trying to save them. This leads to Bruce infiltrating the Big House and making him a public threat. The B plot is that after Samuel Sterns was injected with the Abomination's gamma blood, he was arrested by Ross in the Raft. Sterns becomes the Leader and recruits other gamma mutates in hopes to turn Hulk into one of his puppets. With Samuel and Bruce being friends prior to their rivalry, adds a sense of tragedy with friends falling apart due to accidents. The C plot contains the origins and lives of the future She-Hulk and A-Bomb.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2011)

Hank is a retired S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, discovering that his Pym particles has gotten in the wrong hands. Janet, Hank's wife is a socialite and fashion designer, not wanting to get too much in the superhero business. A sci-fi drama that explores the corruption of people in high power and the ominous Quantum Realm. Hank trains Janet, roping her into the role of the Wasp. We get scenes to flesh out their characters and chemistry.

Black Widow - Season 1 (2010)

We see the origin of Black Widow and the red room unfold and explored. Have Natalia take on many identities, before changing her name to Natasha. Introduce the Winter Guard as a super-soldier group striving for the Soviet Union in the 80s. I prefer the more spy-esque and espionage theme. I would like to see the Budapest mission happen, involving Taskmaster.

Iron Man II: Armor Wars (2010)

Tony has been Iron Man to the public for 4 years now. He later discovers that enemies have been stealing his tech and creating suits. The arms dealer of this whole situation was Justin Hammer. Tony is also suffering from his arc reactor poisoning him. S.H.I.E.L.D. and Rhodey help him about with his troubles. Tony and Rhodey go on countless missions defeating rogues and also meeting a few good people who were used by Hammer. This sequel should break Stark and have him at his worst, making him to look like a foe to the public. In the 3rd act, he has a triumphant return, re-assuring that he is Iron Man.

Hawkeye - Season 1 (2009)

We see the life of Hawkeye, before he was an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. We get a more action packed series with grounded themes. Use this to introduce more street level characters and emotional themes. Taking elements from the 2021 Hawkeye show and the comics would make a perfect match for a 6 episode mini-series. I'd have it be released all in one on Disney+ with 1 hour long episodes to flesh out themes and characters. Having the first MCU TV show be a story about the little guy gives viewers a breather from all the monsters, mech-suits, super soldiers and Norse gods. (Just pretend Disney+ existed back in 2009 for this to even work, an alternative would be Netflix).

The Incredible Hulk (2009)

Bruce Banner has had his abilities for 5 years now. He has been on the run from the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. As Bruce is struggling with his physical troubles, he's also struggling mentally with the Hulk. Bruce knows that Hulk will be needed in some occassions. We see the parallels between the 2 entities. Hulk is angry yet intelligent, wreckless and furious. Bruce is a scientist who is well organized. In the climax, they learn to co-exist with each other but not quite Professor Hulk yet. Hulk fights Ross's answer to the gamma mutation, Emil Blonsky. In the wreckage of Harlem, Bruce sacrifices most of his humanity to even let Hulk co-operate. After Betty's death, this makes Bruce want to be better mentally. Being recruited by Nick Fury, not for his physical attributes but for his true power, his brain.

Thor: God of Thunder (2008)

Thor Odinson, a Norse god who has been banished to Earth seek the themes of humanity. Thor learns this humility, in which makes him worthy to be the heir of Odin Borson, king of Asgard. The parallel of Thor's conflict and journey searching is his adopted brother, Loki. Loki wants to be loved and pronounced by Odin. This adds a perfect sense of nuance to the villain, in which we can feel sympathy for him. Selvig, Darcy and Jane form as Thor's Midgardians who teach him the ropes of Earth. It could be eating with Darcy, Having a drink with Selvig or going over physics and science with Jane.

Iron Man (2008)

Tony Stark, a rich billionaire, engineer and business magnate gets captured by the Afghani Ten Rings. 3 months in the cave changed Tony's entire perspective. He builds a suit, freeing himself out. When he returns, he is slightly more serious and down to Earth while closing all his weapons. He is at odds with his father's past business partner, Anton Vanko. I think replacing Obadiah with Anton gives the character more nuance and a rich history to dive into, with Black Widow. Not just a copy variation of the hero but we can go deeper by making him the worst version of Tony's own character. Their lives and journeys truly shape their character.

Captain America (2007)

A 1940's war movie that captures the transformation of Steve Rogers. A weak, defenseless kid who morphed into a muscular soldier for young boys to look up to. A sign of true American patriotism. During Steve's arc into a hero, we see Johann Schmidt's arc into conquering the entire world during WWII. A fierce and skilled combatant who was wronged comes back for revenge to face off with Captain America.
