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 wouldn't want Spider-man to start with one of the "big villains"...they can introduce Norman Osborn and Harry now, but not as villains, just as characters which eventually will become villains. Since Peter is supposed to be still a teenager, someone on the level of Chameleon of Kraven the Hunter would be ideal...well known enough, not yet used in any of the other other movies, but also manageable for a Spider-man who isn't as experienced yet.
x17 I'm going to copy paste the 616!Inhumans creation from the wikia so people here have something to compare to:
Their goal was apparently twofold — to investigate possible ways of circumventing their own evolutionary stagnation, and to create a powerful mutant race of soldiers for use against the Skrulls. However, although their experiments were successful in creating a strain of humanity with extraordinary abilities, the Kree abandoned their experiment for reasons which are not yet clear.
Their test subjects, the Inhumans, went on to form a society of their own, which thrived in seclusion from the rest of humanity and developed advanced technology. Experiments with the mutagenic Terrigen Mist gave them various powers, but also caused lasting genetic damage and deformities. This led to a long-term selective breeding program to try to mitigate the effects of these mutations. Their city of Attilan has frequently been relocated and rested for a long time in the oxygen-bearing Blue Area of the Moon.
The once-secret existence of the race came to light among the general public as the Inhumans interacted more often with many of Earth's superheroes — including the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and the X-Men — whom they aided against threats such as Galactus, Ultron, Magneto, and Apocalypse.
Edit: God damn it. I was working on a huge post about Iron Man's different armors and the likelihood of us seeing most of them in the movies(with pictures of each of them)but lost it due to my phone deciding to delete it from my Notes when it updated. Time to start all over...

Sorry to hear that. I've never had that problem.
Anyway, this list of Iron Man's armors and the likelihood that we'll see any of them, it had nothing to do with I posted earlier, did it?
Also, that avatar, is that a chibi version of the main girl from Gatchaman Crowds?

It had to do with Marvel and Square Enix releasing a Iron Man figure together that had a armor that hasn't showed up in the MCU yet so I thought I should make a list for if people wanted to know more about the armors.
Nope. Chibi!Hakuno Kishinami from Fate/Extra CCC.

Variety did a nice piece on the MCU's marketing and merchandising plans
going forward and it seems they're trying to appeal to more women and highlight the individuals more instead of JUST the Avengers.
Some more Daredevil cast reveals
. The most notable is Matt Gerald playing Gladiator
.

Bigger! It needs to be bigger!
Also, yeah, I kind of like the yellow eye-rings.
So, I got Howard the Duck #1 today. The new one that probably owes its existance to the Got G movie (that's totally justification for talking about this). The cover for issue two is hilarious. Its the Guardians all scrunched in around a very annoyed Howard doing duck face for a picture. Well, everyone except Rocket. He just seems confused.
I love comics.

◊ She had her own personal powerful sword for a long time called Godslayer which she got from Thanos so she could kill Adam Warlock. It broke on Thanos skin when he came back from the dead and killed Phyla-Vell.
Groot uses his own fists, Rocket uses big guns, Drax uses daggers, Angela used dual swords, Star-Lord uses 1 or 2 guns, Phyla used her sword and constructs, Vance used Captain America's shield, Warlock used magic, Mantis used martial arts and her mind much like Moondragon, Cosmo used just his mind and that's about it on what the Guardians usually use for weapons. Probably forgot someone since I'm tired.
Working on that Iron Man Armor post tomorrow. Now sleep time.

You guys know what I just thought of?
Ok, we know Iron Man's showing up in Civil War, right?
And you guys know how in the comics, one of his regular armors is black with yellow highlights? (Geez, I wish I knew the actual name of that particular armor.)
What if he shows up in Civil War with that black on yellow armor as an "in mourning" thing after the events of "Age of Ultron"? Wouldn't that be friggin' awesome?
