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.

Holy shit Cassandra Nova confirmed

Also no sleeves shot, guess Jackman is comfortable baring his arms. Wonder if we'll get a moment with him with the mask even for a bit.

So is the main wolverine here some variant of Old Man Logan?

eta: Oh and he's fighting The TVA. The "TVA are fascists even when reformed" crowd will be happy.

RE: Deadpool & Wolverine trailer:

Ohhhh man, this is going to be the stuff! surprisedsurprisedgrin

Really thought that the full-sleeved costume was to accommodate for Hugh when he was having that skin cancer scare, but OOOH WEEE, sleeveless Wolverine costume, LET'S F*CKING GO!

And how bat-crap unhinged and evil does Cassandra Nova have to be to use a giant Ant-Man skull as an apparent throne/mode of transportation? Because goddamn, [[spoilergirl]]!

[up]Same, but weirdly I found 0.58 worse.

Ooooh, you gotta wonder if Wade was immediately regretting all those times he said "Cock Shot!" right there and then.

Well, that was fun.

So this is a Logan who fucked up everything and failed to save anyone (so more Old Man Logan than the movie Logan). Gonna be interesting to see him get back in the saddle.

You can tell that everyone in this movie is having so much fun and giving maximum effort. I'm not sure if I'll be able to see this one in theaters, but I sure hope it knocks the socks off of everyone who does.

Also, I wonder if that dead Ant-Man is a variant who lost to Kang. Either way, his corpse is so fucking metal.

Funny to see Azazel show up not that his parentage to Nightcrawler has been retconned. Though the foxverse never made that connection anyway.

Is this supposed to be before or after Loki? Would explain why the TVA is apparently back to being assholes if it’s the former.

[up] Loki takes place before the multiverse existed. Without Loki, there's no Fox-men universe, so it has to be after.

Wait. I just realized how clever this is.

Wade calls Logan "peanut" in a movie that has a giant Ant-Man corpse.

God, that's really good.

Watching the trailer a second time, I'm realizing that the bulk of the action we're shown seems to take place in the Void at the End of Time. We can even see Alioth in a few shots.

This may legit be pre-Loki, as it seems both Wade and Logan (as well as 20th Century Fox as a whole) have been pruned.

[up] I don't think it's pre-Loki. In the first trailer, you can see a glimpse of the hourglass symbol the TVA adopted after He Who Remains was killed and they reformed.

I feel like this could very well be both pre- and post-Loki, as in there is a time skip or two.

They need to promote this right, and at least remember that they can't go wild with the budget, really.
