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.

Preferably with the scene where she throws up on him. That part is key.
For once I agree with Tobias Drake. Having Black Cat turned into a supervillain following Sp Ock punching her was DUMB.
Okay based on the new casting for AOS http://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/466921-agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-casts-constance-zimmer-for-season-3
it seems at least one agency unrelated to SHI Eld or Hydra is taking action towards the newly created Inhuman epidemic for the first time ever. I am really carious to see where this will go in 4 more years because by then pretty much all of humanity will know what an I Nhuman is and you know what that means - BLACK BOLT TIME

Why not just all four of them in one relationship?
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies."Say hi to my Colossus!"
"Ha! That's not nearly as impressive as my Cyclops!"
"Everyone, please, stop arguing. My Kitty's getting impatient here."
"Alright, alright, here we go. Hope you're ready for a Storm!" *
"And now for a little something I like to call... the Professor X!"
"Professor X? What's the Professor- OH GOD THAT'S THE PROFESSOR X!"

Pretty much, and it's super dumb considering it's more and more common to see movies shit on by critics and audiences (across all demographics) alike for shoehorning gratuitous Token Romance in (e.g. Ant-Man) or praised for leaving it out altogether (The Winter Soldier, Mad Max, Snowpiercer).
It's an outdated way of thinking that somehow persists among execs despite ever-increasing audience opposition, just as it is with the glacial pace of diversifying leads or including prominent LGBT characters when the revenue they're afraid of losing from close-minded people is way less than what they'd gain. I mean, the East Asian market is huge, the Latin American market is also pretty sizeable and growing, and the African middle class is well on the rise. Come on now.

Movie executives are superstitious as all heck. It's because noone really knows what makes a movie a hit. Year after year, there are movies that make piles of money that noone would have been confident about, and also movies that check all the "safe" boxes and bomb. The audience is fickle, and nobody is really all that comfortable with gambling with these amounts of money, even if the return is overall, absurdly good. Because if your movie is the one that bombs? Well, there goes your pile of money.
So everyone pretends really hard they know what they are doing.
And things that work are repeated. Hence all the sequels.
