Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here 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 without spoiler tagging 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.

If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

    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.

I thought Madame Masque was in Agents of SHIELD, also maskless. …Which, give her the mask if you use her again, it looks cool.

Madame Masque appeared in Agent Carter, even though she was never called that.

So, it'd be kind of hard to use her again since she was alive in the '40s and would either be in her seniors or dead.

She used the Whitney Frost alias, so if we ever want a modern incarnation she could always just be Giulietta Nefaria without ever using the former name.

Agent Carter's Madame Masque was basically an In Name Only take on the character, so they probably could just have a new characters coincidentally also named Whitney Frost / Giulietta Nefaria in the present who was more faithful and it wouldn't be much of a problem.

Madame Masque wasn't in Hawkeye. The character of Eleanor Bishop is known for working with Madame Masque, but isn't the character herself.

Madame Masque also appeared in the licensed Iron Man 1 game, but that's probably not worth much XD

I remember liking those games if only cause I had fun modding the armors.

Man a new Iron Man could be really fun. Imagine the potential armor customization.

At most a cameo in Armor Wars, honestly.

Now that's a show I keep forgetting about. Rhodey definitely deserves some more solo stories, though I'm wondering what exactly he'll be fighting against. I know he's had tie-in comics where he's fought the Ten Rings and other terrorists, but I'm not sure if that'll happen again here, will it?

Yeah, Morgan is like 8 or something. She will just be living her best billionaire’s child life, like Blue Ivy Carter.

And with less jokes about her name compared to the usual rich kid at that.

Wasn't she born at some point after the Snap? I am kind of confused on how long has it been since then (and the reversal in Endgame) in-universe.

Say what you will about Tony but at least he didn't give his kid a ridiculous name.

She was born after the snap. She may have been conceived before it considering how Tony was sure the universe was telling him Pepper was pregnant

That might have just been his biological clock though

[up][up] I also wonder if his choice to live a lifestyle that was not especially extravagant (even if it was very comfortable) during the snap was in part motivated by wanting Morgan to actually have some concept of not literally everything being handed to her.

He may of also been pouring a lot of his normal "extravagant lifestyle" money into charitable organizations that were helping keep the world held together.

There's also the fact that the economy basically collapsed after the Snap, so chances are that Tony's focusing less on doing the awesome stuff a billionaire and his kid would usually do, and more on just trying to be quiet, comfortable and happy. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Morgan was homeschooled.

I wonder if her knowledge base is a little eclectic

Much more math and science than kids usually know at her age and less insert topic here that Tony finds boring

I can picture Tony building an AI teacher for Morgan ... and getting chewed out by his own creation at parent/teacher night.

Hopefully she turns out okay. I feel like every other descandent of the Stark family I've seen or heard of in what if / future-era comics, or tv shows and so on has been evil.

Inb 4 future Morgan shows up further down the Kang storyline, and turn out to be like the future Dr. Doom or something.

We've got a while before Morgan is old enough to be much of a player in the sche of things.

The MCU is currently at the very tail end of 2024 as of Hawkeye, which would put Morgan at only 5 and a few months given Infinity War took place in fall 2018 (or was it spring? I'm trying to remember what colour the New York City trees were.)

If she does somehow become the MCU Doctor Doom, then it is kinda on brand for Stark.

If she's really a demon of Tony Stark's creation, she'll go and pick a fight with Spider-Man.

That would unironically be good pay-off for connecting Spidey and Iron-Man.

But just once I'd like Tony to create something that doesn't doom the planet.
