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.

Avengers: Thunderbolts

Hah! You thought it couldn't possibly work in the Thunderbolts because the film still has to deal with the aftermath of the Snap! Well, you're absolutely right! Prepare for a confusing and unpleasant mess of a film that single-handedly squanders all the good-will Marvel has built up over 10 years as the Russo's go crazy and try to stuff as much as possible in this one movie.

I remember reading somewhere that the Russos brothers said that the title was said in a marvel movie before.

Calling it now, the title is Avengers: Ahh my nipples

Avengers: Boom! You looking for this?

On a serious note, that would be an amazing and appropriate title for the trailer

Well, one thing for sure, if the very first teaser doesn't contain the words "if we can't protect the earth, we will damn sure avenge it", then the marketing team of Disney doesn't know how to do their job.

You know, they really don't have to offer much...just the picture of all those beloved characters falling apart into dust, those words and the title. We would all be extremely excited and spend the next month about the title alone.

Slightly more serious title speculation: I saw something, somewhere that said something about "Eternal Avengers". I didn't put any stock into since I never saw anything about it here (this thread is where I get all my Marvel news), but I think it would be appropriate for a last Avengers movie. Especially if there's time travel involved.

I think that would sound too similar to the Eternals, who are getting their own movie as well.

Loki show, Loki show, we're gonna get a Loki show.

I'm holding out hope for a Kid Loki show (with Hiddleston playing the mental devil on his shoulder), but I'm not sure if they are willing to do that.

On the one hand I like Loki, but on the other hand I think it'd be much better if he stayed dead in the movies. Hopefully this is a prequel series of sorts.

There's no way he's going to stay dead in A4. Either Thanos killing him was another illusion to begin with or he's going to get Time Stoned back into existence with the rest.

Loki is a cash cow they wouldn't dare give up. Expect him to come back.

If he returns in A4 I'm honestly losing a lot of faith in the Russos. Thanos unceremoniously snapping Loki like a twig in the first few minutes of Infinity War was one of the best creative choices of the movie.
