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.

Doesn't most of the symbiote's personality draw from its host?
Venom was only violent and murderous because Eddie Brock was angry at Peter, Peter himself only became violent because he was frustrated about not being effective as a hero, and for some reason Flash Thompson made it into a good guy.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."Since Disney now has control over the Spider-Man franchise, they will force Drake Bell to be cast as the new live-action Spider-Man and insert cartoony cutaways in every few minutes of footage.
I want Flash Thompson because he's not Peter Parker and he has no legs!

I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.
Well, if the superhero world were anything like real life, being a superhero without working legs might be difficult. Of course, this is comic book land where people can have all sorts of crazy powers, so that's no excuse. Oh, also, Miles appeared on the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, so...
I want Ben Reilly because he's not Peter P- Wait.

Also, Oracle would have a thing to say about legs and superheroics.

Not to mention Professor X.
I kind of want Spidercide because he's kind of not Peter Parker and he's... um... really buff. Okay, I don't know any of Spidercide's defining traits.

There's also a strangely prophetic joke in the Ultimate Spider-Man comic where they're making a Spider-Man movie, and Peter visits the set and sees a black guy in the Spidey costume. It turns out it's just a stunt double, and Peter says something like, "Oh, okay, thought I got rebooted there for a second."
Alright I'll accept Peter Parker as Spider-man if he ends up being a Hispanic trans-man and his name is changed to Miles Peter Morales and there is no Uncle Ben.
Instead he has a dad who was a former Shield Agent.
Also he has Miles Morales' powers and is dating Kate Bishop.

She would be a good addition and would give Hawkeye something to do.
I was also thinking unrelated to this that it would be funny to have the Wrecking Crew in some form. I can imagine it now where Loki would recruit them and tell Wrecker that the power of Asgard would flow through any weapon he chose. Then he'd pick up a crowbar and Loki's would be speechless.

Yes there is no Peter Parker anymore. He's just the black suit symbiote. I've always felt the Venom symbiote was a pretty sympathetic character (when he's not looking to eat brains).
Also the main villain will be Doctor Doom drugged to think he was the Green Goblin but once he's killed it will be revealed to be a Doom Bot which will then be revealed to be a Skrull.
