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.

Black Panther is going to get his powers from groovy herbs, probably.
Captain Marvel from aliens.
The Inhumans from genetic tinkering by aliens.
Captain America from SCIENCE juice and patriotism.
Iron Man built his powers.
Thor has racial powers but also more because he's a prince.
The Hulk WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT.
Hawkeye and Black Widow are just really good at what they do.
Do we ever learn Absorbing Man's power origin?
Blizzard WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT and probably the same for Graviton if he ever shows.
Drax, Groot racial powers probably. Rocket WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT. Gamora WHAT HAS THANOS WROUGHT. Peter Quill, gadget stuff he probably borrowed without asking.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersIf they ever agreed to do some sort of crossover with the X-Men or FF all you'd really need to do is do some stuff with dimension hopping.
Maybe even make it Secret Wars.
I don't know if any living mortal can portray the true majesty of VICTOR VON DOOM.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersMy reaction when I see it.
Eh, probably fake.
When I learn it's real.
IT'S HAPPENING!!!!
Is this a Jo Jo reference?
x7 Well, if FF was in the MCU, it'd probably have the same tone as all the other MCU movies, instead of being grim and humorless like the trailer implies.
EDIT: Holy cow, this thread's picking up steam. Like a gazillion people just
ed me while I was typing!

No, but he's got plenty of vibranium.

I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.I did expect this to happen actually. Sony was wounded after TASM "bomb" and Marvel swept in for the kill.
I hope they can work something out with Fox, the First Class trilogy is coming to a close and a new rebooted X-Men team would fit in nicely.
And I'm one of those who think the X-Men fit in the MU and don't really see a discrepancy in the way people treat mutants versus superhumans.

He's like Captain America. He has heightened senses and peak human abilities so I guess it depends what you qualify as powers. I see people classify Cap as a Badass Normal but that's always confused me.
I wonder if they could slip Spider-Man into a cameo in AOU as part of the rumored new Avengers. You wouldn't even need a new actor yet if he's just in costume for a cameo.

LOL Marvel predicted this it seems
. No I do not know why Spider-Man is mooning Scarlet Witch.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
