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 don't think she will be Wasp as a superhero now(maybe IW or phase four?)but I hope she at least gets to do what Pepper did(that was such a missed chance to have Pepper get her own armor) and have the suit and be badass at least once and punch the bad guy even if it's over quickly. That poster made me a bit sad when I noticed she was the only female on it. We really needed some female superhero movies in phase 2 or 1 or more female characters at all. If Loki dies in Thor 3 I want him to return as Lady Loki in IW and after she dies he can come back as Kid Loki.

Out of curiosity, is there a good picture of Falcon's new red costume floating around online anywhere?
I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.You heard him. He was leaving the Avengering to Steve. Someone has to keep up the Bucky Hunt.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersRhodey doesn't have a super-important plotline he needs to advance between the previous Iron Man film and the nonexistent next one. His schedule was free to play cavalry.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I still wonder if he might have been a last minute addition if only because Mackie seemed very distressed in interviews that he wasn't going to be in the movie. I guess it could just be Lying Creator / Trolling Creator but he has a very good poker face if that's the case.
Of note: Joss mentioned in the commentary for the first movie that one of his executive obligations was that he had to work a fight between Iron Man and Thor into the film. He set it up the way he did, with the pair fighting over their respective authority over Loki and the Tesseract, because he didn't want to do a cop-out where one of them is brainwashed or crazy or something and the other spends half the fight holding back and just trying to bring him back to his senses; if they were going to fight, Joss wanted them to f*cking fight, something where both sides were ready to go all-in because they believed themselves in the right.
The reason I find that interesting is because that cop-out Brainwashed and Crazy excuse for Let's You and Him Fight went on to be used for Age of Ultron to set up Iron Man v. the Hulk.

The difference is that Ironman can't effort to go soft on Hulk. He doesn't need to worry about hurting Hulk either. Ironman vs Brainwashed Hulk can be as violent and "real" as you want, while Ironman vs Thor (with either brainwashed) would have one of the sides pulling punches.
One thing I really liked about that fight was how it showed exactly what beast Hulk is. Ironman with an special armor pretty much broke himself on him, and Hulk was barely hurt by the end.

But it works there because Tony knew he couldn't hold back, because it's the Hulk. In fact, he was fighting harder than he would in almost any other situation, what with calling in Veronica.

Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.I think being in a city also helped.
Tony could totally go soft on the Hulk if he was rampaging around a park or a mountain or something. A metropolitan area has much more significant consequences for failure.

Forever liveblogging the AvengersThat's like the plot of every other big crossover comic of the 70s and 80s. "THE BEYONDER/THE LEADER/LOKI/DOOM/JONAH JAMESON IS CONTROLLING THE HULK! WHAT DO WE DO???"
My various fanfics.

You know, Hank Pym's Wasp costume might be a good model too (sort of reminiscent of the Falcon costume).
