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.

    Original post 
Since Thor and now Captain America came out this year, I wanted to get what Tropers thought of the concept and execution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. Personally I love the idea and wonder why this idea hasn't been seriously tried before. It sorta seems to me like the DCAU in movie form (And well, ummm, with Marvel), and really 'gets' the comic book feel of a shared universe while not being completely alienating.

And I really liked this part:

“We don’t know the entirety of Phase 3,” said Markus. “But I think there is… maybe a shift toward more personal stakes, as opposed to ‘This giant bad guy is going to threaten everybody!’” “Maybe because in the climax of Phase 3, and we all already know it, this giant bad guy is going to threaten everyone!” he laughed. “We all know Thanos is coming. It would not be a good idea to run up many mini-Thanoses prior to that. So I do think the dynamic is shifting a little bit.”

Would anyone like to see a Secret Wars movie? If so, who should play the Beyonder?

That shot looked like SW is angrier than the other, with all the guys running away from her.

In my (admittedly sleep deprived) mind, that is. tongue[lol]

[up]This is not the RWBY thread roy, where seen thing that not there is legit way to go

"We don’t know the entirety of Phase 3,” said Markus. “But I think there is… maybe a shift toward more personal stakes, as opposed to ‘This giant bad guy is going to threaten everybody!’”

I dont think so, the Iron man trilogy is pretty much personal stakes, Thor 1 is VERY personal in how everything play, maybe the next movie will be more personal consider Strange and Black panther but that is not saying much

Outside of OTC threads, it really doesn't make any differences. tongue

Man, first Winter Soldier and now Civil War. Russo Brothers just know how to make good villains. I can't wait for their treatment of Thanos.

He is a villain regardless. Very grounded and sensible villain.

Sadly, no can do. I'm getting paid to stay awake tonight. It's a-well, it's not a long story, but I just can't bother. [lol] It's not a security work, I can tell you that much.

Anyhow, I wonder if Thanos knows about the Civil War.

I think she would have done better if the poll had offered "Scarlet Witch and Vision". I think we wall want to see that one...

[up][up]She's never really been a solo character. Or at least until very recently.

Black Widow's never really been a solo character until recently either.

I would probably be interested in a Black Widow movie if the team behind it was good. Besides Tony and Steve she's about the only other Avenger I'm particularly interested in.

[up][up]She's had multiple mini-series and ongoings and even villains and supporting characters that could more easily be integrated into a 2 hour film. In fact of the two of the two of them, Wanda was by far the one who has spent more time with the Avengers until Widow started appearing in the movies.
