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.

I need Jessica to hire Matt Murdock as her attorney for various reasons if there's a season 2 of Jessica Jones.

I was a bit disappointed that Matt didn't show up, since I thought we had heard he was slated to make a small appearance.

Glad Claire showed up as promised, though.

I kinda want Matt to hire Jessica as a PI for one of his cases or something in the next season of Daredevil. I doubt they'll do that, but it'd be neat.

There was a brief stint where he hired her to be his bodyguard.

... Weirdest thing, I was planning on making a post because earlier today I realized that when Civil War comes out they're going to put the crappy old Civil War on the forefront of shelves which means people would have to suffer through that poorly planned drivel to satisfy their curiosity about what the comic version is like.

And in the day I think this, they decide they might just make a new one?

I am actually not sure which is a worse possibility: Bringing back the old one or making a new one.....

[up] That depends on the quality of the new one. I wonder if they'd go back to SHRA or just make it simple for people who just watched the movie and do the Sokovia Accords.

They probably won't go back to the SHRA, that's been done and dealt with. And Sokovia doesn't exist in the comics Marvel, so they are probably just going to go with a new argument between Cap and Iron Man.

I'll say it again- a Fight over Pizza Toppings.

The only kind of argument between the two that won't start a shitstorm in the fandom.

I dunno, I take my pizza toppings pretty seriously.

Any pizza with onion or mushroom on it belongs in the trash.

[up] Fuck you, mushrooms on pizza is delicious.

Pineapple on pizza is disgusting, though.

Oh, you gotta be friggin' kidding me. I mean, unlike most people I actually enjoy the original Civil War, but... really? Another one?! Didn't we have enough crossovers with superheroes fighting each others already with Avengers vs X-Men and World War Hulks?

[up][up][up]Are you kidding? Pineapples are practically the nectar of the Gods when it comes to Pizza.

Olives on the other hand are a fricking abomination that should be wiped off the face of the Earth.

I like pineapple on a pizza, provided it's with ham.

[up]Olives are the second-best topping after pepperoni, though.

Alright I get it, Pizza Toppings are a volatile, fight-instigating topic.

Good. Now this thread has devolved to infighting.

A Civil War, if you will.

Hate to divert from the topic at hand, but man, I am LOVING the Doctor Strange concept art! The costume looks great. My only issue is the goatee. There's precedent for it in the comics, but I've always preferred Strange with just a Badass Mustache, as far as facial hair goes.

(And besides, the clear-cut winner here is pepperoni and bacon)
