You and Bob are reading too much into it. As a bloke (and running under the assumption that everybody knows I'm a bloke), I simply thought it was more humorous. No socio-political statement was intended and nor should Bob try to turn this into a socio-political argument.
From the trailer, I think they're going to be spending a lot of time in A3 with Thor, someone who we've seen gets to spend a fair amount of time being funny - and CH is pretty good at it too!
Might be a bit for the full on GotG and Avengers interaction...
Not really- they seem in completely different leagues. Not sure what comic book Drax is capable of, but the MCU hasn't made that much of him.
He's established as superior against mooks and the occasional sub-boss, but useless against anyone of significance.
Hulk walks over gods, fights monsters of the apocalypse and wants to punch out world-ending giants.
A fight (or even wrestling match) between the two would be fairly boring and one sided.

My default assumption on the internet is that I don't know anyone's gender and that it actually doesn't matter. Unless they make reference to it, which... with 'fan-girling' and a name that reads to me as Edith (well, Edith-y or Edith-ee), that's what I thought you were doing.

Thats the point. Part of Drax's humour is how he's always taking on challenges that are too big for him with complete confidence in his own abilities.

My username is a reference to Corvus Edithae, the Species name for the Somali Crow. I needed a suitably avian-like name as a reference to my favourite 40K Space Marine chapter, Raven Guard, who are known for their names inspired by avian species and genus names (e.g. Korvydae).

Perhaps I was being too dry.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I really hope to see a good Dr Doom movie come out of all this.

His movie version definitely sits towards the low end, and as noted, seems to exist more for comedic effect (bites off more than can chew mode)>
He seems to probably be around CA level, minus the shield and acumen. None of the Guardians are particularly powerful on their own.
I do find it quite funny that Guardians has depowered its characters so much. Drax was born to kill Thanos and Gamora is known as the most dangerous woman in the universe... but both are consistently shown up by an OP talking tree...

But a Phase Fantastic 4 is looking more and more possible.
Galactus for Avengers 5 or 6!!!
Pretty much this.
Kevin Feige is one record explaining that Avengers 3 & 4 are, ultimately, the end of the current Marvel Journey with the heroes we currently have.
Given what we now know about Disney buy Fox, it could well be that they wanted to see how that went before planning the more distant future. As of Black Panther, there's 6 films between now and 2020.
Add in another one or two for 'filler' purposes to carry over to 2021, and then they could easily have previous-Fox owner properties ready to join.
I can see one of those being another Spidey (unless Sony throw teddy from the Pram due to the Fox deal), and possibly a Dr Strange sequel (as he's not got one pencilled in). Neither of those need to be ground shaking events, allowing them to be 'tide you over' adventures.

Has there been a picture of Captain Marvel in costume yet? Like, a single picture? I'm starting to think she won't get her reveal in this Avengers movie.
Saw this trailer on the big screen today. It was better than the full film that followed up. I haven't looked forward to a film like this for a long time.
Pretty hyped for this, and its been awhile since I've been excited for a Marvel Movie.

But from that trailer, I’m expecting great things!
Civil War is certainly the high point thus far, one of the best comic book movies ever and an excellent sales pitch for the Russos' ability to handle a large ensemble cast and still keep both a narrative and an emotional core to it all. A few of Marvel's latest moviews I didn't get on with (Strange and Spidey were mediocre, Ragnarok was downright infuriating) but I'm very much excited for this year's offerings, starting with Black Panther this weekend.
The poster for Infinity War is also epic:

Funny how there's no sign of Ant-Man in any of the Infinity War material. I'm wondering if AMatW will be set between Civil War and Infinity War, and will end with them trapped in the Microverse or something, ready to make a grand re-entrance in Avengers 4. With Captain Marvel also being set in the past, that would mean Avengers 4 can follow IW directly without causing any continuity issues.
Funny that there's no sign of Terrance Howard (or Ed Norton). I bet he kicks himself every time he sees Don Cheadle (and Marky R) getting that sweet Marvel love.

The theory I subscribe to is that infinity war will end with Thanos killing a bunch of people but a few (including Dr strange) will get away. Thanos will have all the gems except for time. Strange will use the time gem to send the small rag tag team back in time to gather reinforcements and make a plan to stop Thanos.
Ant Man and the Wasp will end with them being picked up by the time travelers. Captain Marvel takes place in the 90s and will end with her getting picked up by the time travelers. Infinity war 2 will be a wild time travel trip through the marvel universe as various important objects and people are collected to bring to the present and defeat Thanos. It's why the worlds not dead in AM+W.
These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.
