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 feel like most people don't realize Agents of SHIELD makes, like, fifty thousand story decisions in the time it takes a film to make a fraction of that.
Like, if the movies try to tie into the TV shows, you'd get a lot of situations where the thing they're acknowledging wouldn't be true three weeks later and they'd have to upend the entire script.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.Since JK Simmons is out of the picture, my ideal Jameson for the reboot is Hugh Laurie.
"Everybody lies. Chief of all, this journal, now get out Parker, you're fired."
"All you Fascists bound to lose."It's been brought up before, but Jane Jonah Jameson is a possibility.
Oooh. I wonder if this means that Kong
will make his first appearance in a live action movie.
Spectacular Spider-Man did a good job of having Peter's group of friends be both racially and gender diverse. As an added bonus, they only had to Race Lift one person (well, two people, but they were related), because they actually used several nonwhite characters that were there already as apposed to ignoring them.

There is actually next to no danger that the movies will contradict the TV show. Since no TV characters are turning up, it can hardly rewrite their history. In addition, the movies have become very careful. They are barely mentioning any dates, not even on the props, anymore. (Really, while it was for the Iron Man movies still usual to find a date stuck somewhere in the background, all newspapers and screens are suddenly "date free" in Age of Ultron and Ant-man). In a way, the only continuity the movies have is that they are now set one after the other, while Ao S scrambles to put some connection in-between.
It is pretty neat that they even got president Ellis on the show now.
True dat. Considering how apparently important it was for them to make sure everyone gets an arc, I'm sure it'll come up.

I liked the suggestion someone had earlier with Jane Lynch.
