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.

He even paid him for the vibranium.
Aside from the whole 'murder humanity' thing, this Ultron is a cool guy.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Did anyone else roll their eyes at Natasha calling herself a monster, comparable to Bruce?
"Oh, yeah. You can't have babies, and I turn into an enormous green rage monster that kills everything in sight. TOTALLY SIMILAR."

My various fanfics.Natasha.
And I think the bungled intention was that it wasn't the infertility so much as everything she did as a spy that makes her a monster.
The infertility was just her telling Bruce that she's on the same genitals not working page with him.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersAlone, it wouldn't have been a thing but since her major subplot is a romance, she gets monster calming duties, gets damsel distressed albeit without much distress, and brings up can't has babies as secret background shame
well it adds up.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersALSO, I'm really mad that this movie brought back the stupid bullshit about Bruce's heart rate meaning that he could transform into the Hulk from a light jog. Goddamn it.
My various fanfics.The worst part of the movie was when the Hulk killed hundreds of people and then Black Widow said she was worse because not being able to have babies made her an inhuman monster. And they were both to dumb to remember that adoption is a thing that exists.
The second worst was Mrs. Hawkeye saying "You know I support your Avenging" and no one in the theater but me laughing at how goofy it sounds whenever they use avenging as a verb.
Can we stop saying Natasha considers herself a monster because she's sterile. That is not what she said. The context makes this clear. She was talking about all the awful stuff she did as a spy. She only brought up the sterile part to assure Bruce he wouldn't accidentally inflict any children with his condition.

Making him filthy rich and actually cooperating were entirley unnecessary, but he did so anyway
