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.

Speculating on shipping is kinda dull. We all know none of the interesting options are gonna happen.

If Marvel does hook Steve up with a dude, I will do something sufficiently humiliating but not life-threatening that I will think of later.

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

Eating a hat is the common choice, if you can't think of one.

Steve should hook up with Betty Ross.

Shoes are also popular, but are harder to chew, and usually dirtier due to being on the ground all the time.

[up][up][up]I want it to be something I could actually do. Can the human digestive system handle whatever material a given hat is made of?

Admit that maybe the entertainment industry isn't ruled by old straight white men that want to subjugate and destroy all that is not like themselves?

Why you gotta be like that, man.

I am fond of the reading that 616 Steve is a closet bisexual. But I think shipping him with Bucky is too obvious, boring, and not actually that desirable a relationship.

Yeah, probably. I'd probably enjoy him and Sam more.

[up][up]HOW DARE THE MOVIES CHANGE ALL THE AVENGERS' ETHNICITIES TO CORGIS? They should just write new superheroes who are corgis, not retcon old superheroes into being corgis!

I understand the point of the mockery, but Affirmative-Action Legacy is a meh measure in my eyes.

Why are all the Avengers corgis? There should be more puppy diversity!

(That's half a joke, and half legitimate wishing for more kinds of puppies. /melts)

....Are there any people who just watch only the Avengers movies and don't want any of the other MCU movies that come in between them? Only reason I'm wondering that is because Scarlet Johansson's hair as Black Widow is so inconsistent in every movie MCU movie she's in.....except the Avengers' movies, where she uses the same hairstyle.

Like, is that for the benefit of viewers who only watched the first Avengers movie and are planning to see Age of Ultron? Like, what a weird thing to keep intact for an Avengers sequel.
