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.

Only if he believes he can.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.It's much better than his powers depending on being in Britain though, which that's a replacement for. Bear in mind that he seems to have fairly powerful enemies - reality warpers, vampire armies, the Fury (unkillable assassin android), etc - so that doesn't end up that OP, although I haven't read all of his stuff and it kind of varies by writer.
There is one who's a Spider-man

Yeah, both GL and Captain Britain pulled this shtick as a replacement for their earlier, shittier drawbacks; Cap's powers being dependent on being in Britain, and GL being vulnerable to the color yellow.
Captain Britain's writers wanted him to be able to leave the country, and Green Lantern's writers got sick of the fact that a hobo in a Hazmat suit could kick his ass.

As amusing as this is, it would bring the Unfortunate Implications that these regions are, or should be, rightful part of Britain. That is not a idea many would endorse. It would be slightly less bad if you replaced the "used to be a British colony" to "have the Queen as head of state", but that would include just Canada, Australia and a bunch of smaller islands.
Having only seen a little bit of the Capt. Britain Corps, I find it hilariously silly.
I mean, why couldn't it be, like, the Nova Corps? If you're gonna ripoff Green Lantern, at least use the ripoff you already have.

That's... interesting.
Can he beat the Hulk that way, as long as he doesn't lose confidence?
