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.

Recall when people asked what stories could be adapted for an Inhumans movie and I answered with War of Kings? The Thanos Imperative is the sequel to that and features the Cancerverse.
In a universe without Death, everything eventually became fucked up and wrong, and the universe itself became a cancer unto the Multiverse.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.About BH 6: Disney simply thought "oh, well, we know have Marvel, let's take a look what the archives have to offer", and they somehow stumbled over BH 6 and felt inspired by it. That the property was so obscure was a definitive plus, because this way they could do whatever they wanted without anyone crying fool play. So they basically made a Disney movie with a very feeble Marvel connection.
Thus said, the movie actually does play out like a typical comic book movie, with all the usual tropes. It is the Disney element which makes it good.
If they make a sequel, they need to spend some time establishing the characters as superheroes.
As it stands, everything but that last scene looks more like an isolated incident than the birth of a super-team; there's no indication that Big Hero 6, who are never even named as a team, is going to be doing anything else with the rest of their super-career beyond helping old ladies across streets and getting cats out of trees until they inevitably become bored and disillusioned with being superheroes and go back to their lives.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.kind of proves the JJJ complaint that superheroes cause supervillains...
Forever liveblogging the AvengersArticle on some of the differences between the movie and comics.
Their Big Bad in the comics was created by the 1945 nukes so you can probably see why Disney just took names and some details and made their own thing.
If I'm reading it right, its not just that the villain was created by the nukes its also the souls of everyone who died in the blast.

I like it. It's got the right blend of red and yellow.

I didn't even know Baymax wasn't a big fluffy marshmallow in the comic version. I prefer the big fluffy marshmallow.
