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.

Regarding Klaue's pay: in criminal transactions involving large sums of cash, standard operating procedure is, "Half up front, the other half when I see results."
This discourages either party from screwing the other, because the assassin wants to get the other half of his pay, and the buyer's already demonstrated his willingness to uphold his end because he's already half-invested.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.-shifts eyes-
Now I'm going to assume you aren't some professor of, or student who's studying criminal psychology, so how exactly do you know that?

That.
I also live below the poverty line - presently homeless, in fact - and have a strong interest in military and criminal justice.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Howard The Duck just told Thanos 'The Aristocrats'
Does seem the kind of thing Howard would do. I would hazard a guess it would be a Gilbert Gottfried style telling, but that's because for some unknown reason Howard always sounds like Gottfried in my head.

"These 'no-nonsense' solutions of yours just don't hold water in a complex world of jet-powered apes and time travel."Holy shit, Thanos watches Steven Universe?
This clearly changes everything
Forever liveblogging the AvengersTruthfully, I think he's happy to just be doing something.
I mean, he was all like Fine I'll do it myself, but I get the feeling he actually looks forward to getting back into the fray. Stretch the old muscles, put some life in those old bones, destroy a few civilizations and all that.
One Strip! One Strip!Hmmm. I was kinda joking around, but is that a Thanos type thing to do?
I don't really know much about him, so I can't say.
One Strip! One Strip!Randomly murdering planets for shits and giggles and to impress Death is a very much a Thanos thing based on his page.

Looks like the Heroic Hollywood rumors have some merit to them. Guess this also confirms Widow being (at least nominally) on Tony's side.
