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.

[up]x5 No, they were in Johannesburg, South Africa.

I believe they are saving Wakanda for the Black Panther movie, which is probably for the best.

[up]x7 I think they meant Wanda, not Wakanda.

As far as I know nobody was in Wanda or Wakanda during AOU.

Unless this is the Ultimate universe, in which case Pietro was in the former.

AOU's Ulysses Klaue looked like he popped right out of a pulpy comic book from the 50s. Loved his look and can't wait to see more Andy Serkis.

Pietro died so that people wouldn't constantly be making that joke, obviously.

[up]I was happy they kept his ridiculous Abe Lincoln beard.

I like his utterly random speech about glowfish or somesuch, that is so out of place even Pietro seems to stop dead on his tracks with bewirldement.

Does he have cuttlefish confused with angler fish?

Huh. I had no idea cuttlefish could do that.

The worst part is that, if the scene is indeed taking place in South Africa, naming a country wouldn't even be confusing!

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

"South African Coast" would be okay in that situation, right?

Weird, I thought it was wakanda because of vibranium, it make sense dosent it?

And the more I think of Wanda and what she did, the more I cheer for Tony....except he was also a piece of shit in Ao U.....you know what? Im going with Spidy here, that would be for the best.

The Vibranium was stolen from Wakanda.

The vibranium was noted as stolen and Klaw was branded to never return. Definitely not Wakanda.

Maybe hiding in the country where you've been banned from and where everyone wants to kill you is so stupid, it's brilliant. They'd never see it coming.

Apparently some of the Thunderbolts(before they became Thunderbolts) showed up in the animated series so I guess we have more proof Marvel is doing something with them in the MCU.

People are also guessing Zendaya in Spider-Man will be Ava Ayala/White Tiger but it based on nothing.
