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.

    Original post 
Since Thor and now Captain America came out this year, I wanted to get what Tropers thought of the concept and execution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. Personally I love the idea and wonder why this idea hasn't been seriously tried before. It sorta seems to me like the DCAU in movie form (And well, ummm, with Marvel), and really 'gets' the comic book feel of a shared universe while not being completely alienating.

The film soundtrack were the pop songs. Not the film score, which was done by Tyler Bates.

Tagging something as Joking Mode is like explaining the joke. You just need to perfect how to phrase sarcasm to make it obvious without ruining it. tongue

Since it's totally impossible to convey sarcasm in text form.

[up][up][up]Not impossible. Just noticeably more difficult than it is in real life, again because of the lack of inflection.

[up]{Slaps a nametag with 'SARCASM' written on it upon an unsuspecting muffin.}

Yup.

[up][up]One thing that I always get a kick out of is when Whiplash flies into the final battle in his own personal suit, and opens the helmet. We just see a smirking Mickey Rourke face squished into the armor and buried up to his chin as if he forgot to remove the internal mechanisms of it before wearing it, and it makes me chuckle for some reason.

[up]AAAARRMMMSTROOOOOOOONG!!!!
