Marvel Cinematic Universe

Go To

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.

That appears to be something that Bleeding Cool wrote itself, not from the press release. And the Asgard Trilogy, also from Joe's Books, doesn't look at all like it's connected to the movies.

I wonder if we'll get the first look at Spider-Man on Sunday.

Unless it comes from the Hollywood reporters, I try to ignore all the websites which deal in so called "scoops".

Nah. Steve is the original Coca-Cola, and I don't mean the "Classic Coke" stuff brought in after "New Coke" did a crash-and-burn in The '80s. tongue

And they turn the screws a little more.

Well, this feels like a build to something.

Sebastian Stan of the nine-movie contract? I highly doubt it.

Cap has his shield for eyes and Nat has spiders. This was not a good artistic choice, it makes them look terribly creepy.
