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.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
As a general rule of thumb, you can safely dismiss anything reported by wevegotthiscovered as pure bullshit.

Natalie Portman's first role!
God I love that movie.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
I'm Sad Frogerson.
I think the Marvel Studios subreddit recently banned any posts discussing rumors from that site. So yeah, it's best to take their reports with a grain a salt.
Ordinary Corrupt Android Love
Look, a totally real rumor that America Chavez is getting a TV show. This is definitely verifiably factual and not an obvious attempt at clickbait. 
Anyway, trust things when they show up on The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline, or Variety.
My uncle's friend's roommate's pet goldfish's therapist's parole officer told me that in Shang-Chi, the role of the Mandarin will be played by an actual mandarin orange.
This is a totally true rumor because I reported it.

The alternate version of the original Iron Man post-credit scene.
I guess at that point, they thought they might be retroactively including the Raimi Spider-Man and Fox X-Men movies, but then they realized they probably couldn't do that, so did a different version. Good thing, too, because now it makes no sense, since Spider-Man wouldn't be bitten for another, uh, seven years?
Not sure how official it actually is, but some people like to say the little kid wearing the Iron Man mask in Iron Man 2 was Peter himself.
Queen of Good Things, Honest
A lot of people in general are assholes.
The difference is that when Bob says to his pals that Sandy Hook was a hoax, his friends are just like, "Whatever, dude." And then life moves on and that person's shittiness is eventually forgotten.
When a famous celebrity says that in front of a news camera, that person's shittiness is recorded forever. We're able to hold celebrities accountable for their shittiness years after the fact.

Funny but not helpful
Also a celebrity has more influence than Bob.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers
Makes you wonder why any sensible person would ever want to be famous.
Oh, bother.
There are plenty of tangible and intangible benefits that come with fame. It's just that people don't always realize that there are tradeoffs as well.
Disgusted, but not surprised
"Makes you wonder why any sensible person would ever want to be famous."
-Money
-The pleasure of everyone talking about you.
-The opportunity to meet other famous people. (For example if you are a fan of Nicole Kidman, you will have more opportunity to meet her, if you are also famous.)
-Appear in movies and series.

Surrounded by weirdoes
The big question they should really consider is "can you handle it?"
Wake me up at your own risk.
It also depends on how famous you are.
If you are an A-list, you will have paparazzi at all times following you and people taking out your context phrases to make you look bad.
If you are B-list, you will have similar problems but in a much smaller margin.
I think I could bear being a B-List, but I would go crazy if I was an A-list.

Oh, bother.
If I was an A-list, I'd make sure to hire a good publicist and never use Twitter or Facebook. Admittedly, that's easier for me since I already hate Twitter and Facebook.
Disgusted, but not surprised
I have really bad anxiety so I don't think I would ever want to be famous. If I was a-list level famous I don't think i'd ever leave my house lol
Also, a perk of being famous is that even though everybody will remember the skeletons in your closet, you often have the power to just keep being famous despite that. Unless it's some Weinstein-level shit that makes you too toxic for even the powerful, amoral corporations to continue associating with, your career won't suffer.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
There’s real famous and then there’s infamous/famous in small circles/etc. This is honestly why the idea of people wanting to be internet famous utterly baffles me. You get all the downsides of being famous (lack of privacy, scrutiny all over) and none of the upside (money, power, influence, ability to get into exclusive clubs). If I had to be famous, I want it to be for something that pulled down at least a few hundred grand a year.
> 1,000 dollars per hour.
Man, I don't have that kind of money.
But yeah, I'll stop it with the Spider-Man business until we get an ACTUAL update.
