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.

Of course. It'd be a great tribute to George Perez.

And yeah, Hawkeye landing the kill blow was a great moment for him.

Remember folks. He's the only Marvel character to be officially part of the Justice League.

That's something.

Never let anyone tell you Hawkeye is a loser.

No, no. In one crossover story Hawkeye actually joined the Justice League.

Yep. Hawkeye is the one and only character in the complete history of comic books to be a member of both the Avengers and the Justice League.

Top that, Wolverine.

[up]Nah, that'd be Steve Rogers for sure. Logan would be vastly more likely to be approached by the Sinestro Corps or the Red Lanterns.

It's Wolverine. He'd join every Corps. tongue

Dang, just imagine Hulk as a Red Lantern. That probably wouldn't end well for anybody.

Fun Fact: Death of the Endless once made a Lawyer-Friendly Cameo in an Incredible Hulk issue where she directly called Thanos a weird little creep.

Hulk gets stronger the madder he is, and Red Lantern rings max out your rage. A Red Lantern Hulk would be infinitely powerful.

Cyclops would be a great Green Lantern.

Rogers would be more of a Blue Lantern.

Cyclops is way too much of an asshole to deserve to be a Green Lantern.

As for the Orange Light, I could honestly see Norman Osborn becoming its host.

You forget Guy Gardner is a Green Lantern

There is no asshole requirement that prevents you from being a Green Lantern

And even then Cyclops isn't that big of a douche anyway. Wolverine's more of an intolerable jackass at times.

Will is probably good for the man who has to keep his eyes closed at all times when not wearing his special ruby quartz glasses for his special eyes

And who puts up with Wolverine without shoving him out of a zeppelin

The Cloverfield Paradox was a bad movie but then again, David Fincher's first movie was Alien³. I'm sure he will do fine.

The legend has returned.
