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.

All I know about Captain Britain is that Jaspers is an insane(ly great) villain.
Watched up to episode 7 of Daredevil tonight.
I really wanna know why the hell the Hand are digging a gigantic hole, but I guess that'll have to wait until next session.
Hey, does it make me a Complete Monster that, at the very, very beginning of Guardians Of The Galaxy, my first thought wasn't 'that kid's mom is dying of cancer, that's so sad!' but instead went along the lines of 'oh, you've got to be kidding me! He loses a parent too?! He barely even counts as a superhero!'

That's because the Hand are actually working to cover up the existence of dorfs. They didn't dig that hole themselves, they just put a building on top of it.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.The character had potential but she was introduced in the Chuck Austen run.
And basically everything around her was terrible.
When Bendis blew up the book, he quickly ushered her out and it is kind of a shame because Austen aside, she had some interesting plot threads set up and I fully expected her to get into a fist fight with Captain America within three issues.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers![]()
No, she just had the misfortune of being introduced by one of the most hated comic book writers of all time in one of his most reviled runs, and nobody ever successfully revived or rehabilitated her. She basically got Put on a Bus after Avengers and New Excalibur ended, and then fucked right off the face of the Earth.

Having read the synopsis on Wikipedia, she's got a great costume design but I can definitely see why people wouldn't really like her, or at least the way her character was executed. If anything, as a woman the Rape as Backstory strikes me as offensive.
I really wish you'd stop using that strawman. It's probably the third or fourth time you've done that in this thread, and even if it's not your intention it reads like you're being deliberately obtuse for the sake of starting an argument. Likewise with the several times you've made snide comments towards people who were actually agreeing with you. I understand your frustration, but this is not Reddit or 4Chan (or Tumblr even). You're with people who are perfectly willing to have reasonable discussion here, and they are as deserving of your respect as you are of theirs.
