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.

A bunch of different rumors.
If IW 1 and 2 has different villains 2 is probably going to have Adam Magus.
For those who don't know, Guardians 3000 is the current comic about the first Guardians(and a new member)
◊ dealing with "our" world(and other stuff) screwing up time so that everything is different in their time. It's written by one of the persons behind the comic that Gotg 1 pulled stuff from, Dan Abnett. For Secret Wars they are in a new version of the classic
◊ Korvac Saga.

Thanos not being the sole villain isn't surprising. In fact I was never sure why so many people seemed to think that would be the case.
4 and a half hours of the Avengers all punching one guy would be kind of boring and tedious after a while. Particularly if there is a greatly expanded group of heroes like people are predicting.

Well they wouldn't be punching the same guy, there'd be build up. They'd have to face armies, interrogate middlemen, deal with quirky minibosses, Tracking Thanos down, getting through the deadly traps, having to deal with character conflicts and relationships along the way.
I mean they wouldn't get to the proper punching of Thanos until at least the second half of the second movie. They might, at most, have a shot at him in the first and get swatted away. Then all of the above happen.

The Blog The ArtClearly what's going to happen at the end of IW 1 is Thanos escaping in the Thanoscopter.

If the military can make an Airborne Aircraft Carrier, why is everyone still at "Real Life"-levels with their tech? Wouldn't those breakthroughs have seeped to the civilian market by now?
If the military can have hovering aircraft carriers, why don't civilians have...what, exactly? How the hell does a hovercraft translate to the public market? On what individual level is this a useful technological advancement?
I imagine a flying car 1. is as expensive as all hell to build and 2. would require a pilot's license, hence a lack of availability.
If there's anything that should be on the consumer market it's those holographic touchscreen projectors everyone seems to have.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.I hope IW part 2 ends with Thanos being led away by the NYPD.

S.H.I.E.L.D doesn't want humanity to become too strong so that they can't be controlled/used?
One of the things that mark Inverted!616!Tony Stark as evil is the fact that he gives everyone free Extremis to make everyone perfect BUT has it require money for as long as you want it to be active with it being really expensive.
Dude can make a full suit of power armor and miniaturize a revolutionary power source in a cave with a box of scraps, and yet can't figure out how to get his marketing department off their ass and do their jobs.

Btw, WB Games has a large sale on Platstation Store right now. If you wanted to pick up LEGO Marvel before the new LEGO Avengers game comes out(or the DC games, Lord of the rings etc)now would be the time to do it.
Ignition point of Civil War.
Oh and someone wanted an example of what Carol could bring to the team in terms of personality so I found a(slightly old) issue of her playing with Wolverine.
Will probably post more examples when I'm done with the "Origin And Some History" post for her.
