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 thought I just had: awhile ago we were talking about how Thor, along with every other Asgardian, was rendered incapable of wielding Mjolnir by Nick Fury whispering something to Thor.
Which gives me a few questions - Wasn't Nick Fury made the new Watcher, and if so, was he the Watcher at that point in time? Does Thor know/remember what Fury said to him? And did Thor have any particular reaction to what Fury said to him?
Oh God! Natural light!![]()
Feels like Oscar the Grouch meets Casey Jones. Not a fan of that picture.

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."Which gives me a few questions - Wasn't Nick Fury made the new Watcher, and if so, was he the Watcher at that point in time? Does Thor know/remember what Fury said to him? And did Thor have any particular reaction to what Fury said to him?
Nick Fury wasn't the new Watcher at the time he whispered to Thor. Thor does remember what Fury told him, but he hasn't revealed it to anyone (he offered to reveal it to the new Thor when he thought she was Roz Solomon, but then it turned out she wasn't). Thor's only reaction to Nick Fury's whisper was to drop the hammer.
And technically, Nick Fury isn't the new Watcher, he's something called "the Unseen."
Did Fury preface whatever he said to Thor with anything?
Nope, just said, "I'm sorry" (or something like that) and then whispered something into his ear.
I mean, at the time, he was also trying to fight the rest of the Avengers, too. Original Sin was a trip, really.
I don't believe it. Just a few days ago he said he didn't want to play villains again this soon after Fast and Furious 7(where he was the world's best assassin and after the gang for hurting his little brother) when he talked about thinking he could be a good James Bond.

The same site also said a few years that Tobey Maguire was definitely totally going to be playing Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. And that Sony wanted to make a 1960s-set spy movie about Peter Parker's Aunt May (Sony themselves had to debunk that one).
Yeah, I wouldn't trust Latino-Review to tell me what time it is.
That is a fantastic depiction of live-action Crossbones. The dragon approves.
It was in the middle of a dogpile fight scene; everybody vs. Fury. Whatever Fury whispered to Thor was his way of removing him from the fight.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I get the impression that they're going to reveal what it was when Thor gets his mojo back.
Reveal issue, get over issue.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThrough the magic of bullshit.
Original Sin wasn't a good event. It had one really good moment halfway through, but then had the misfortune to continue going.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Yep. Because this was an event revolving around the severed eyes of the murdered Watcher, because writer Jason Aaron has issues.
The same author wrote the thoroughly reprehensible Wolverine & the X-Men, a wacky random comedy about students at the Xavier academy where things just sort of happen for lulz.
Also Thor: God of Thunder, featuring a team-up between Thor, a younger Thor who doesn't have Mjolnir yet, and an aged Thor who's become King of Asgard in a time when everyone in Asgard and Midgard is dead. Together, they battle the God Butcher, a mortal being who got pissed off at the gods and then started murdering all the gods in the universe somehow, before enslaving the remaining gods and forcing them into manual labor to create a giant bomb that will kill all gods, called the Godbomb.
Oh! And he had a stint on Wolverine where he wrote about Wolverine's bastard children sending Wolverine to Hell as part of a malicious ploy so that he would come back and murder them all, then find out he murdered his own children and live with the horror forever.
