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.

    Original post 
Since Thor and now Captain America came out this year, I wanted to get what Tropers thought of the concept and execution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. Personally I love the idea and wonder why this idea hasn't been seriously tried before. It sorta seems to me like the DCAU in movie form (And well, ummm, with Marvel), and really 'gets' the comic book feel of a shared universe while not being completely alienating.

That scene where Thor says "that the best you can do," with everyone assembled behind him, looks an awful lot like the classic "WE WOULD HAVE WORDS WITH THEE" moment. Like maybe that happens just before it.

Well there's no denying that romance subplot now.

More importantly, HOLY SHIT THAT MONEY SHOT OF THE SIX OF THEM LEAPING INTO ACTION WITH HAWKEYE AT THE CENTER AND CAP ON A BIKE WAS AWESOME!

Whoever said the missing Avengers for that Tower Defense shot would be CGI'd in was right.

DAT VISION.

[up]I hope he says it.

I'm also noticing the sound editing is a lot less awkward than the last one. If there was cut and paste dialogue it wasn't as obvious as the last one.

2 seconds and I already like Vision's look. They've given him way more human eyes.

That shot where Cap tries to save those cars looks like it's going to be heartbreaking. And if there's kids in those cars I will punch something.

Everyone's all excited about Spider-Man in the MCU and I'm just sitting here going "Did they fucking sneak Wolverine into Age of Ultron???"

I know its obviously not him, but that's a nice little Mythology Gag I think.

[up]It kept bugging me that I couldn't figure out who that was until just now. I kept forgetting that Ulysses Klaw is in this movie. Plus, it seems to be the same scene from all the other shots we've seen of him.
So many characters.

[up][up]I know, right?

Obligatory "They don't call me Klaw for nothing!" one liner.

Well, Jackman is up for it IIRC. He's said that if Fox and Marvel ever crossover he wants to be there even if it's just a cameo.

Klaw (Klaue?) is probably only in one scene of the movie.

Man. Hugh Jackman is the worst Wolverine.

I mean, maybe his performance is good, but he's too damn tall. They didn't even try!

Hugh Jackman is such a bro about this whole thing.

[up][up][up]I'd rather Klaue was the official spelling. I also like that he traditionally doesn't actually have a claw hand.

Definitely some good shots in that trailer. I'm a little worried they'll go too Darker and Edgier, though. That bit with Cap and the cars falling especially, although I think I'll be alright with it if it's an important part of his arc in the movie.

Oh God! Natural light!

Marvel is so good at hype. That team shot oh my god.

Someone on Tumblr pointed out it might be Hawkeye with some kind of multi-shot arrow, and you can see a bow string.

...It still looks like Wolverine Claws though. Can we still file that under Mythology Gag?

[up][up]Good call. I hadn't noticed the bow.

[up][up] I thought that might be it too, but now I think Klaw is more likely.

My favorite bit was the overhead shot of the team fighting off Ultron drones.

Actually, I thought it was Hawkeye earlier, and now I think Hawkeye is more likely now that I see this clearer shot. I won't be sad either way, especially as it has us talking about Klaue again.
