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.

For some reason I appreciate the straightforwardness of Sharon's costume.

I like it a lot. It's just a jacket and jeans. Next to all those weirdos with their weird superhero clothes.

The spandex store was sold out.

[up]No. The spandex stores all went out of business. It's all about crotch-hugging leather now. (good god, Bucky!)

I hope Sharon gets a bigger amount of screentime.

honestly if we could drop the asgard stuff and get a movie that's just jane, darcy, and selvig kicking ass, that'd be great

maybe sif joins them, idk

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

Just drop Thor completely and replace him with Sif?

I'd be down.

She probably will by virtue of them needing a female lead on Cap's side. I could see her filling the Black Widow role from last time.

It also stresses the fact that Sharon's the resident Badass Normal even next to Hawkeye and Sam (though I hope shippers don't use that as an excuse to bash her for being weak and useless, like I've already seen some do).

I want to see Selvig burrow up out of the earth like a groundhog to deliver some exposition now.

Also, if Cap gets assassinated (or at least shot, even non-fatally) at the end of the movie just like in the comics, Sharon being there makes a lot of sense.

The (kinda fake) rumor did say there was a double agent in their midst.

I'd prefer it if they saved him for rights-returned Doctor Doom.

Fox says they aren't letting go anytime soon so I doubt that's an issue.

Mordo's already cast so... Dormammu, maybe?

[up]Or Nightmare possibly.

[up][up][up]In all fairness, it's kind of tough imagining Mikkey' being loud and hammy like 616 Doom as opposed to the Soft-Spoken Sadist he's so damn effective at. Though if he could pull it off, it would speak volumes about his versatility.

Or Mephisto. After all, we need to introduce him in time for Spider-Man's new film series.

nervmeister Since: Oct, 2010
#41899: Aug 27th 2015 at 2:13:54 PM

[up]Yeah. There's a number of Evil Overlord s in Strange's Rogues Gallery that he could do.

I could see him as Mephisto. Or the dread Dormammu.

But really, yeah, he would be great as Doom.
