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.

They could tweak the origin of Misty a little bit and making her one of the victims of "The Battle of New York" (Which would explain why Tony would create an arm for her). They could even say that she did work at a desk for a while but though she would be allowed back in the field after she got her arm, which didn't happen.

Back to the Perlmutter article...so the guy is not only sexist but also racist?

Nevertheless, I hope that they still ensure that the movies are made for a reasonable price. There is too much overspending in Hollywood already.

All that's left is transphobia, assuming he even acknowledges they exist.

Random question: Do the Marvel Heroes and Star Wars now exist in the same reality? I mean Star Wars is set in a galaxy far, far away but that could simply mean that it is so far away that it didn't impact the MCU.

[up][up]Because there are now comics for Star wars and everything Marvel is more or less in the same universe?

Well, Marvel has made stories about the Kool-Aid Man in the past. I'm not particularly expecting him to show up in an Avengers movie.

[up]I didn't say that I expect them to show up...they are in entirely different galaxies after all. I just wonder if they exist in the same reality (I know, it's a really random thought).

Godzilla exists in the Marvel universe, though. So there's some precedent for Star Wars, too, I guess.

I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.

Do the Marvel Heroes and Star Wars now exist in the same reality?

Define "reality." Do you mean the same universe? Then no. Do you mean the same omniverse? Then yes, but I do have to warn you that everything is in the omniverse, including you. Yes, you.

Godzilla exists in the Marvel universe, though.

Godzilla only existed when Marvel had the license. Now that they don't, he has been replaced by a completely different giant green lizard and everyone's memories were changed. Same thing with the Transformers and the Doctor.

(In all seriousness, it would be pretty silly if they said they were in the same universe. Because unless they do cross over, what would be the point?)

Honestly, I don't like the practice of assimilating everything you can get your hands on into your continuity. It seems to me a tad... disrespectful, to the vision of the original creators.

Ruffalo gave an explanation about the Hulk situation in Civil War. He was in an earlier draft, but they wrote him out because they want his location after AOU to be secret, since it's somehow important to Infinity War.

"Random question: Do the Marvel Heroes and Star Wars now exist in the same reality? I mean Star Wars is set in a galaxy far, far away but that could simply mean that it is so far away that it didn't impact the MCU."

you know, I have been joking that tony build stuff each time he have a crisis, Iron man 3? build a lot of suits, Avenger? create pretty much Marvel skynet, so by logic if Tony have a middle age crisis he will build the damn Death star because that is how it does

Nope, all of that EU stuff was made non-canon by Disney.

It was a joke. It was already from a non-canon series.

True...but like I said, I don't even want a crossover. I just like the idea that if you could travel even beyond Xandar and Knowwhere and whatever you would at one point reach the Star Wars Galaxy.

Like I said, the omniverse contains everywhere that ever was, so there's that. But in the Marvel Universe, the Star Wars characters and planets don't exist.
