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.

@ Mizerous

Guessing whatever Loveness had in mind went away with him.

Don't forget Tenoch Huerta getting into trouble like Irons.

So, in regards to the Kang situation, can't they find another actor to play Kang or they are not looking for another actor?

I would presume the former, unless Marvel's stupid enough to try to use AI to make a fake Jonathan Majors.

[up][up] Ouch. I guess whether Huerta is innocent or not will depend on who'll corroborate that accusation of sexual assault?

Which definitely wouldn't be a good idea because of 1) Jonathan Majors' situation and 2) Because of how using AI is being viewed.

I would say recast but for one role not all of them like Majors. I believe that guy Stannis from FTWD would be a good choice and make him the dangerous Kang not anothee disposable version. The

Now I wonder if Xmen will be a strong focus. If audiences arent jiving with a post-Endgame Avengers, Marvel has a new team to focus on with iconic characters. Not to say they cant have their cake and eat it too by promoting both, though realistically, one has to be more excitedly engaging for audiences

Deadpool and Wolverine lay an insane groundwork if its massively successful.

Speaking of piece-of-shit actors, I wonder if Deadpool & Wolverine is going to take a potshot at TJ Miller.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did a joke where Weasel couldn't come to Wade's birthday party because he got arrested after calling in a fake bomb threat.

[up]The beauty of a fourth wall demolishing movie is that they could just straight up say Miller got booted for a bomb threat.

Maybe while they're at it, they play up the significance Blind Al, Vanessa and Peter have in Wade's life… and oh yes, Yukio. A whole community, being worth fighting for, risking neck and limb for.

Watching clips of Avengers, I always wondered why the movie looks so different.

I've been told it's because of the color gradient. The use of colors and lighting here makes everything pop compared to later movies which can be washed out.

[up] There's a good video on that; besides color gradient, they switched from film to digital, which also had an effect.

God, this is just making me wish for them to return to using film, that much more. Sometimes, streamlining processes is a bad thing, actually.

TBH the first Avengers movie looks like a sitcom. I don't like the colours in it at all, especially in the helicarrier scenes.

Daniel RPK is saying reshoots for Deadpool & Wolverine are underway and should last through May.

Hope they haven’t been reshooting too long.

Thinking about it, the reason why earlier special effects look better than now is probably cause the production timeline wasn't insane.

So the special effects crew probably had more time to work on getting things right compared to now where it's a rush job to get to the next movie.

Its also similar with the writing cause they probably didn't go through the constant. Rewrites and creator turnovers of current Marvel stuff.

Like how Seceret Invasion at first hired the Mr Robot guys then fired them and replaced them with other guys.

[up] And said guys had absolutely no experience doing anything, hence why it was such a complete disaster.

Though if they try to pull that with someone as big as Shawn Levy, I'd imagine there'd be lawsuits.
