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.

Basically, the movie would be a Buddy Cop movie (Carol would be bad cop to Mar-Vell's good cop) until the thirty minute mark when the explosion happens and Mar-Vell dies and Carol gets his powers.
As a follow-up to that Q&A, Gunn loved Deadpool.
Also since someone wanted to know more about the early Got G comics where Groot talked for a few issues it's pretty good that CBR just did an article about how 616!Groot and Rocket first met in a Star-Lord tie-in to a event and became friends which goes over the early issues of the Cosmic Marvel era.
Kinda funny that it points out that the initial book was a bit like DC's Suicide Squad since both series are now movies.

I guess Annihilation: Conquest:: Star-Lord was kind of Suicide Squad.
Except instead of explosive collars they just dropped them on a hell murder world full of angry not-borgs and airborn assimilation nanotech.

Is Punisher vigilante Joker now?
Forever liveblogging the AvengersYeah, I guess Marvel will now advertise for Daredevil and their other TV shows (but treat Daredevil as the big even) and as soon as Bv S hits the theatres, it will go full force on Civil War.
At least in this case Punisher's got a point, insofar as Matt 1. may have indeed had a shitty day where he actually killed a guy and 2. gets way too fucking violent and, unlike with Batman, this is a source of discomfort for other characters.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Punisher's got a point because Punisher really is Daredevil "gone evil". This is something that permeates their interactions most of the times they cross paths, they're Not So Different, but Daredevil tends to very specifically avoid crossing (at least intentionally) the line Punisher made his work: Killing people.
In general the usual commentary is that Daredevil is what Punisher would be if he became a straight hero rather than a sociopathic anti-hero. Daredevil has the same uncompromising sense of justice, the Blood Knight tendencies, the brutality, the use of torture, but the thing is Daredevil desperately clings to his humanity, primarily via his deeply Catholic beliefs (thus, as the Preacher observes, he feels guilt). Whatever humanity Castle had died with his family.
So Punisher is Daredevil if he lost faith in everything (human society, the justice system, God, e.t.c).
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I'm betting more along the line of major recurring antagonist. If I had to peg a Big Bad, I'd say they'd likely be related to The Hand in some way.
Punisher will likely be the main antagonist, but not the villain, if that makes sense. There'll likely be a common villain they're both against, but most of the personal conflict will come from their differing methods rather than with the common villain themself.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I'm rewatching Thor: The Dark World on FX...can I just say that the opening of it, from the story of Bor fighting against Malaketh, Loki appearing before Odin, and Thor, Sif, and the Warriors 3 fighting in one of the 9 realms, is pretty damn awesome for an otherwise average movie?
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?There's the age-old debate (that inevitably is unleashed every time someone even vaguely alludes to it) whether Loki saves the movie (because his charismatic presence uplifts it) or ruins it (because Executive Meddling pushing for more Loki caused the movie to be butchered, reworking the movie around him and damaging Malekith's character in the process).
It's an interesting thing to ponder whilst watching the movie, regardless. I do enjoy the more epic-scenes, like Frigga's funeral.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."

I mean, eventually.
Too much build up though.
I want right after the opening credits a close up of Carol as she just sighs in frustration.
And then explodes.
