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.

I'm still not sold on if Thanos was a good idea. Sure it will give a reason to show off the entire MCU, but I'm not sure how much I want to see The Avengers get distracted from terrestrial and interpersonal issues.
Then again, the Avengers movie's justification for why the team exists at all (To intimidate unknown cosmic powers to back off) is brilliant. I'm just biased because the Avenger stories I always favoured were ones like Civil War and Dark Reign which is concerned with how a superhero team interacts with the world it inhabits.
What was the Cosmic Cube in the comics? I know it wasn't the Space Gem.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.The story that springs to mind most with the Cosmic cube for me is when Namor had it. And Namor squandered the hell out of it.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersInfinity stones are industructable, aren't they? Maybe a good thing that they have a bunch of reusable Mc Guffins.
Captain America managed to break the infinity gems in the comics. By shoving an entire universe.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersWell, those things are as old as time, Thor's any attempt to get rid of one backfired and for some reason nobody else, not even Odin, ever tried to get rid of them, even though they are dangerous. Everyone always just tries to keep them apart. If there were a way to destroy them, wouldn't someone try that instead of putting them into a vault? So I kind of assumed that they are for infinity and beyond.

No! I don't want the MCU to get rebooted!
How often do black holes appear in stuff anyway?
I used to be quite the afficionado of black holes appearing in things but I was broken, broken I say by the usages.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersOff the top of my head, within this last decade Star Trek (2009), The LEGO Movie, and Interstellar all had black holes that led to someplace.
And the last work I remember where a black hole was actually lethal was Super Mario Galaxy. The same game where you can breathe in space.

Why can't we get back to the good old days where black holes led straight to hell?
