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.

And they don't want to remind the Jewish community of very dark, very unspeakable things that I'm not quite sure are ok to talk about, namely the H-word that isn't "hell"?

Hitler was probably dick enough to make one of his horcruxes some random tin can on the side of the road so that we never find it.

The third was his moustache. Moustaches are absolute evil. Even Voldemort wasn't evil enough to grow a mustache. It's a special kind of evil.

I'm pretty sure the dead people in the fantasy scene were just supposed to be generic SHIELD agents or something.

People kept telling me they saw Ant-Man's corpse and I had no idea what they were talking about.

No I mean they were literally saying they saw a body wearing a helmet that looked like his.

wild mass guessWas one of those random bits of rubble Beta Ray Bill's hammer, Stormbreaker?wild mass guess It's the bit with the weird flange-thing in front of Hulk. Although personally, I'm hoping that the Silver Surfer's role from the Infinity Gauntlet will be filled by Rom:Spaceknight instead.

Speaking of Beta Ray Bill, I've just heard that he apparently appeared in Guardians Of The Galaxy in a quick cameo.

Considering that it's pretty fucking hard to miss Space Horse Thor, I'm a little surprised at that one. Any truth to it?

James Gunn has denied it was Beta Ray Bill. Honestly, I can't even see the head, only a red cape. So nope, I don't think it's Beta Ray Bill.

He looks like he's somebody, but I can't think of anyone. Does anybody know of any Marvel characters in red leotards?

I thought that Bill was supposed to be a skeleton that Quill runs into in the opening.

I believe that was debunked as well, since the skeleton was way to small to be someone who's Thor's equal, physically (and because I really want Bill to appear in 'Ragnarok' somehow even though the Vision lifting Mjölnir seems like it would've prevented that).

#43120: Sep 15th 2015 at 7:37:24 PM

Yeah, this video says it's a possible reference to Beta Ray Bill, but I think that's horse apples.

Wait, why would the Vision lifting Mjolnir prevent Beta Ray Bill from appearing?

Beta Ray Bill's first appearance involved him as an apparent monster fighting Thor, and then he picks up Mjolnir. It's kind of similar to how Vision proved his inherent nobility by suddenly picking up Mjolnir. It doesn't prevent Bill from showing up, but it's been done already, so it takes the wind out of Bill's sails. Honestly though, Age of Ultron was crowded as it is. I don't think I want more characters.

Age of Ultron is over. There aren't going to be any more characters in Age of Ultron. And if they do introduce Beta Ray Bill, he may not appear in Infinity War, since he's not a member of the Avengers or Guardians.

In any case, they can totally introduce him in a different manner in Thor: Ragnarok if they want to. And I hope they do.

Sorry, I meant I wanted fewer new characters during the next big team movie. Civil War already sounds packed.

Chill. It's not out until 2017 anyway.

Philippines seem like a strange place to hold the conference. Didn't think the market was as big there.

Marvel has very aggressively been going after the Asian box office the last few years. And it's not just a random press conference they're doing it at the Comic Con in Manila.
