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 still think that the show's unnecessary, but that's...surprising.

Yeah, looks like Spider-Man: Freshman Year will be non-canon — no way the villains' cast would work with the MCU.

We're also seeing some first looks at Parker's appearance. Definitely has a throwback feel to it with the strong resemblance to his first comic run.

There's already a second season? Moving fast, Marvel.

Oh my God the villain line-up there is stacked

A cosmic zombie, a ghost zombie, a gamma zombie, and Goddamn motherfucking the Scarlet Witch in all her horrid inglorious majesty

That is so unfair [lol]

By the way, since they're animated projects, we do have collected info about them in their respective threads:

I'm quite intrigued how the Freshmen Year artstyle will look in motion.

Not surprised that What If? seems to be staying around for a while, the possibilities for storys are only growing the longer the MCU lasts.

Looks like all the animated properties are getting release dates and reveals today. So that will leave tomorrow for the live-action stuff.

So there's a thing called Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur? Okay.

Edit: That tweet is from yesterday. Stop it, Twitter.

Oh yeah, I discovered that by accident when looking at Maya Hawke's Wikipedia page.

Guess we know why she wanted her dad to become Arthur Harrow now. [lol]

They really overuse the found family thing.

''Guardians also does it. Sure it better showcases how they are a family but it gets kind of annoying when every super group is a “found family”. "You know my name. Now''

Bit late to this part, but... I agree. They need to calm down with that. Not every team needs to be a family; they can have different dynamics. No wonder they can't fit the Fantastic Four anywhere, being the first Marvel Family used to be their shtick, but now they look less unique as a result.

Wait. If Abomination became a zombie...guess the Hulk didn't survive against Wanda.

Also, according to press email, Freshman Year is still MCU canon: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unknown_096.png


Also, we've know about the Moon Girl series for a while, which isn't MCU and actually developed by Disney Television Animation. A clip was released yesterday.

But...how? Peter doesn't know any of the villains since they don't exist yet.

Unless there's another memory-wiping spell...
