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'd go with a more continuity nod thing.
"Where's Spider-Man?"
"He's having some personal problems, I think. He ran off proclaiming 'Parker is dead, there is only the Spider.'"
"... Huh."

Or, on a slow news day . . .
He had a bad experience with rainbows once
.
Batman's fond of
the concept, however
.
Some plot details on the climax for Age of Ultron. In particular Whedon says the ending has something big that really shakes up the status quo.
And then some stuff on Daredevil's continuity ties
. The show will be more or less self-contained (they made a point of saying it's not in the same vein of SHIELD) but Hell's Kitchen is being rebuilt after getting wrecked during the Chitauri invasion, and that there will be references to other MCU heroes and characters.
The actor playing Daredevil says he would be up for appearing in Civil War but that the show is a little more grounded and treats the appearance of a costumed hero like Daredevil as something that isn't yet a regular thing.

I mean, there are just as many episodes of Buffy that introduce a massive, world-ending threat that's disposed of that episode and never mentioned again as there are episodes focusing on the massive, world-ending threat we're supposed to spend great swaths of time worrying about.
There are enough of those that they can lampshade them frequently. The Zeppo features one happening in the background solely to take the piss out of their own melodramatic tendencies for comedic value, multiple characters inquire about the plural of apocalypse - "It's 'apocalypses,' by the way," Riley kindly informs us - and Giles and Buffy actually take a quiet, dramatic moment in season five's finale to count them.
By Angel's fifth season, Angel and Spike have a dick-measuring contest over who's averted the end of the world more.
