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.

Marvel is ripping off Crisis on Infinite Earths by reprising their Secret Wars story which itself was rushed out the gate to beat Crisis to the punch and DC is copying Marvel copying DC.
Good times!
Forever liveblogging the AvengersMarvel is ripping off Crisis on Infinite Earths
Aside from the whole "Multiverse is ending" thing, the story isn't at all similar to Crisis on Infinite Earths. For one thing, the Crisis was about trying to stop the Multiverse from being destroyed and in Secret Wars, what remains of the Multiverse is destroyed in the first issue.

Smashing.
(x3)(x2) I think the comedy is that these fixes would resolve the plot but ruin the movie. It's the delivery, along with healthy doses of meta-humor, that make it funny. Lots of gallows humor in this one because of Quicksilver and Civil War.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!Let me state real quick that the part I least like about how it should have ended is the Superman-Batman cafe conversations.
Literally the entire set-up, joke and punchline is Batman saying "Because I'm Batman!" over and over.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I'm of the opinion that Super Cafe is the best thing that's ever been done with the characters of Batman and Superman.

I still haven't watched the first Captain America movie, by the way. Not in its entirety, at least.
To be honest I didn't like the film when I first saw it. I need to rewatch it, for Peggy Carter and Howard Stark if nothing else (since they're Ensemble Dark Horse's apparently). But, well, you can watch Avengers and Winter Soldier and not really miss a beat, other than a touching scene with Peggy in 2.
I will applaud it for this scene, though.
This is when you start to like Steve Rogers.

The last issue of everything ended with the world ending and everyone dying. That's what's happening at Marvel right now.
