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.

I've only heard of pogs in more recent years as some retro thing people used to be into since I was born in '92 so by the time I reached sapience they were long out of style.
I did have Power Rangers though which definitely contributed to my love and obsession with costumed vigilantes, and probably contributed to my disappointment that the Guardians of the Galaxy would no longer be in uniforms.
The Blog The ArtNobody thought the CD-i was a good idea. It was an elaborate joke played on the future by people with too much money. They looked forward to the age of YouTube and wanted to create something that would confuse and horrify the masses, yet also capture their imaginations in shock and disgust. Like the Pyramids or Stonehenge, many theories would exist but none could ever truly explain how such a thing came into existence or what purpose it was meant to serve.
Pogs were legalized gambling for children. They were to 90's America what pachinko is to modern Japan.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.As someone who has no clue who he is in the comics, I think he looks pretty rad.
(dodges an incoming petrol bomb.)
Oy vey.
Pogs were a bad '90s version of marbles. Succeeded by Magic and Pokemon cards.
Also, people had a weird view of future games and software in the early 90s. Which included full motion video games and virtual museums.
I twas born in 1986 and the only reason I knew about pogs is because my cousin had some.
He probably deserves to look more intimidating than his comic art then.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers
Well, he does look like an HR Pufnstuf take on Hellboy, but I still think a more visually faithful adaptation of him in MCU can be done with the right modifications to make him menacing to modern audiences.

Of course, Captain would never do that but it's an amusing idea.
"Sinister Six" Movie Could Still Happen, According to Drew Goddard
It already did. It was called Ant-Man and it made $401 million, which is pretty embarrassing for an MCU title but still more than Harry Osborn could have hoped to bring in.

Huh? Ant-Man is doing quite well when you factor in the fact that it's Marvel's cheapest movie, that its success is due to word-of-mouth instead of Day One buzz, and that it just came out in East Asia and hasn't even reached China yet.
Or if your implication is that the characters of Ant-Man are villains then, uh. Even if that's what you personally think, the two premises aren't comparable.
My implication is that it's a heist movie which, my understanding is, is what Sinister Six was supposed to be.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I don't remember any real plot details about Sinister Six coming out. Just that it featured a Redemption Quest.
Honestly I wasn't particularly looking forward to the Sinister Six movie to begin with, because I am not convinced that could work; but who knows.
I don't know, wouldn't it make it a bit repetitive? I agree Antman works the best as an infiltrator of some kind, but I am not convinced a new heist movie is the right way to go.

That sounds kinda like those Marvel Disc Wars thingies...
I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.
