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.

Not Beta Ray Bill. This guy
◊. He's great.
Really, you could get a fantastic short just from his story if Marvel was still doing those. The mortal man who fell in love with the Asgardian maiden Kelda, traveled to Asgard to woo her, and gave his life defending the kingdom. The out-of-place redneck who's now visible any time we see a crowd shot of Valhalla.
Bill, whose father was Bill and his father was Bill. Bill who comes from a glorious line of Bills.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Bill, Son of Bill. Yes, he is awesome. But really, I think his tale could only be told once Asgard arrives at Broxton, Oklahoma.
Hey, that would be a neat storyline. In order to avoid the destruction of Asgard in Ragnarok, Thor brings it over to Earth and sets it floating above Broxton.

Broxton, Oklahoma.
And yes, Ragnarok absolutely should end with Asgard landing in Broxton.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Yeah, the first paragraph in which the length of three paragraphs is spent using every possible word in the thesaurus to rephrase "Fuck rich people" over and over has convinced me not to read the rest of that.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.So can I, but opening with a word-vomiting tantrum is not a good hook. It does not produce interest or provoke a response of, "This opinion is well-thought out and seems entirely reasonable. I wish to know more of what this chap has to say."
Angrish is not an engaging debate strategy.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.The title made me go, "Interesting. I would like to hear more of this opinion. What insightful interpretation does this person bring to the table?"
Then I hit this wall of text:
and went, "Oh, it's angry gibberish. Gotcha." and stopped caring.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I couldn't get through the essay.
It goes on far too long and I have slept far too few hours this week.
I wonder if his opinion of Iron Man 3 is any better but I'm not really able to swim up the waterfall to find out so.
Sorry.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers![]()
You might like them, but for some people, they cause a considerable amount of distress.
It's an interesting article with a few good points, such as the movie's lack of addressing civilian casualties and the overly simplistic morality system at play. I can't agree with most of it, coming into it with my own biases, namely that I'm not a fan of Marxism (it kinda did ruin the lives of my family and all the other people the ideology claims to stand up for) and my long-held belief on capitalism* is much like Churchill's on democracy, but it's still worth glancing over if you can stomach the unnecessary vitriol and off-topic potshots.

I really want Bill of Bills to show up in Ragnarok or Infinity War.
