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 don't have a dog in the race because it broke its leg and had to be relocated to a nice ranch to covalesce but it'd be funny if the Captain Marvel movie turned Mar-vell into Abin Sur and basically did Green Lantern better than Green Lantern.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersAh, gotcha.
Well, we just did a legacy movie with Ant-Man and we're getting another with Black Panther, so it's not like it's impossible. Though I imagine Mar-Vell would have less of a role than Pym.

Except Mar-Vell's powers aren't exactly transferable on their own. They would need the Psyche-Magnetron.
My idea is more: Mar-Vell comes to Earth looking for a rogue Kree who built the Psyche-Magnetron, gets into fight with Carol Danvers there, the Psyche-Magnetron explodes giving Carol powers and killing Mar-Vell. Boom, that takes twenty to thirty minutes, tops.
Jeremy Latcham on where they're going with the Avengers
:
On the subject of Captain Marvel, they could have both her and Mar-Vell be supporting characters in Infinity War: Part 1.
Carol's presence would initially be justified simply by her being an awesome pilot, and then her getting super powers and Mar-Vell's death would be woven into the main story arc of the movie. Then the actual Captain Marvel movie could pick up with her on a solo adventure (possibility because she gets stranded out in space in the course of the previous movie) already with superpowers.
How is Carol going to be a threat to Mar-Vell?
Sorry, I didn't mean that Mar-Vell got into a fight with Carol, but he got into a fight with someone else while Carol was there. That someone else would probably be Yon-Rogg.
Well, now Marvel Animation will look like idiots for keeping the cast unchanging for most of the show in Avengers Assemble just so it matched the movie.
But...they aren't keeping the same team. They are already confirming that they are adding new members.

Which reminds me...who is actually responsible for the stuff Marvel animation produces? Feige is the Movie guy, Loeb is the TV guy, but who is the Animation guy? (And can't we blame Perlmutter for the current state of the animated series? Please tell me we can blame Perlmutter...this is way easier if we have a specific target).
It actually sounds like they are, or are at least looking at bringing in more guest people. They confirmed Black Panther, Kamala Khan, Captain Marvel, the Inhumans, and Moon Knight are all gonna be in the third season next year.
Right...eventually. Though I could see some vague allusion to the Inhumans in Civil War.

They probably won't mention "Inhumans" (because nobody but SHIELD knows about that name, really), but they could mention "biomorphic events" that have been affecting people.
And wasn't the whole point of including Ellis to set up the Accords?
Ellis didn't set up the Accords yet, he's only set up the ATCU. I have a feeling that the Accords are going to be an international thing.

- ROGERS: So, have you guys heard about this weird fish oil that's giving people superpowers.
- STARK: As always, I'm three steps ahead of you. I'm already working on an Iron Man suit that will let me comb the depths of the ocean. We're declaring war on Atlantis.
- ROGERS: You can't do that, Tony!
- STARK: It wouldn't be the first sovereign nation I've invaded. Or you, for that matter. Or Thor. You know, I'm not sure if there's anyone on this team that actually respects national boundaries.
- ROGERS: Not the point. This isn't Atlantis's fault.
- STARK: How can you be sure?
- ROGERS: Because nobody in Hollywood has managed to untangle the rights to Namor and nobody will for the foreseeable future. I'm not even sure I understand them at this point.
- STARK: Fair enough, but what else could be causing—
- THOR: Alien crystals are dissolving in water as a result of Coulson's adventures.
- STARK: ...
- ROGERS: ...
- THOR: One of my closest associates sees literally everything. One of my best friends has teamed up with the S.H.I.E.L.D. cast twice. Why does everyone act like I'm still in the dark about the show?
Even though it'd be horribly out of character, Tony becoming the Eisenfuhrer and declaring war on the sea would be hilarious.

Yeah, making her an Inhuman is just needlessly complicated - because it either means you have to watch AOS to understand or her entire origin and powers are handwaved.
If the only objection is "But Mar-Vell has to be introduced first," not really - Mar-Vell and Carol Danvers were pretty much introduced at the same time, it was just Carol didn't get powers until a few years later. They could compress all that down (like they've done before) and just introduce Mar-Vell and kill him off in the same movie, while having Carol as the main character.
