Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! I'm editing this OP and pinning it to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.

Love is Love is Love
Aaaagh, this is awkward for me. Because I hate The Punisher. He's boring and lame and stupid and fuck you Garth Ennis.
But I love Tom Hardy.
My various fanfics.
I'd accept it if he was Mad. Furious to the Max. And if he had a sweet ride to take on the Road.
Fuck it, just watch the awesomeness.
I like Thor/Jane. It was set up poorly but they really do have good chemistry in Dark World.
The role reversal would've been glorious.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

Was that...some kind of sand storm? With lightning?
...
Is what I just said even remotely possible?

I'm trying to think of a clever joke that references the Dark Knight Trilogy
Why don't you just kill me?
Your punishment must be more severe.
Well, Hardy's reservations on playing Punisher are because he's not a big enough guy for you' viewers out there.
Yep. Volcanic lightning is also a thing.
Nature be cool, man.

Man. That sand was almost like some sort of dome.
You might even call it a... Thunderdome.

C'mon, guys, can't we just get beyond Thunderdome?

I'd like to make a passing mention to the fact Tom Hardy's Punisher would never match Thomas Jane's punisher. Man was born for that role.
But I support that casting, yes.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."
I remember Frank Grillo saying that he could've played the Punisher had he not accepted the role of Crossbones.
Well he basically was Punisher in Purge:Anarchy. 
Pretty flower
And just saw Age of Ultron.
Is it wrong that I'm sad Ultron's gone?

No?

I don't expect that to stick.
What would they do with Ultron if he came back?

More Jokes. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
I'm sure they could have him enact some other plot. Ultron is probably the most iconic Avengers villain and his mechanical nature makes destroying him for good virtually impossible.
edit: In the comics he was responsible for the second incarnation of The Masters of Evil. If they ever use him they could bring him back as The Man Behind the Man.
edit 2: Anybody else getting major Uncanny Valley vibes from this picture of Ultron?

Kang the Conqueror would like to speak to you.
One based on Papper hopefully? Or Betty, I guess. But everyone likes to forget Bruce was also involved, so I might as well.

Not really. The Punisher is boring.
