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.

Maybe pool party place was close to where Cassie was.
Paxton wasn't headed in that direction anyway since he was taking Scott back to jail. Again. He had to turn around when he got radioed.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersSo, just got back from the movie. It was a lot of fun. I saw it with my mom, who said it was a lot better than she thought it would be (she says that a lot). She thought that Cassie was really cute, her jaw was on the floor when Cross killed Frank, and she was also kind of upset when Anthony died.
I told her about comic!Hank's...thing, and she thought it was a good idea that they didn't use that. Interestingly, she thought that Scott was lying when he said that he couldn't remember anything from the Quantum Realm so that Hank wouldn't risk his life trying to save Janet. I don't know if that would hold up upon closer analysis, but it's an interesting idea.

Oh God! Natural light!Yeah the Anthony death was brutal, that had me feeling pretty emotional. The ants really were a Hyper-Competent Sidekick in general, they went for wave tactics to distract during the final fight on the train set and I loved how after the bombs were set they make sure to evac all the ants as part of the plan.

My headcanon is now that he's been holding onto them all along and telling Coulson they were lost in the fight Loki.
Uh, I've watched both seasons so far XD I just didn't think Fury had the time to give him the trading cards back. It's been a while since I watched the first season, I could be misremembering it.
Also I only watched The Winter Soldier recently. I didn't know it happened before the finale. Though it does seem obvious now that I think about it.
There was the time after Coulson and Fury confronted Garrett (and then Garrett died) and before Fury made Coulson Director. They were all on the plane and Coulson was yelling at him about bringing him back to life. I suppose Fury could have returned his cards to him then, but probably not.

"I sold them to finance the new helicarriers. Which your hero blew up. So. Yeah."
Forever liveblogging the AvengersWhy would Cross have any knowledge of what transpired at Avengers HQ?
Regarding Fury meeting with Coulson
They also probably met offscreen at least once in season 2, given that Coulson refurbished the Helicarrier Fury rides into Age of Ultron for him.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Because Hydra are monitoring the Avengers. Learn about a guy who can shrink that broke in to the place and go "A guy that can shirk!? Hey, wasn't that Cross guy developing/selling something like that. It must have been a demonstration of his technology." So they go to him "breaking into the Avengers was way cool - how much?" and Cross goes "...Yes. Yes that was me" and since like it wasn't him, he starts investigating the incident.
Speaking of crazy shit, here's another Spider-Rumor.
This time, it's a possible Spider-Man casting list
!
Yeah, yeah, I know the drill. Take this with a very, very large grain of salt.
(Then again, no Gwen Stacy? Dang it.)

Actually there is a very simple reason he would know that: he already knew Scott's identity and story, probably by doing research based on what he learnt happened at the Avengers Headquarters. By that logic he had to know where Scott's daughter lived
