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.

Someone pointed out in this gif it looks like War Machine is aiming at both Steve and T'Challa.

Probably because they don't know who's behind the mask yet.

Looks like Rhodey is breaking up the fight.

This might mean he's reluctant to take part in the conflict?

I never thought I'd see a worse costume than the v neck-miniskirt-headband combo, and yet Clint continues to surprise me.

I thought top one as a Gender Flip at first glance, given the usual tendency for superheroine designs and the look of underboob.

@bocaj Wow, Squirrel Girl is stacked. I know it's comics but I wasn't expecting that.

The Civil war TV spots have been released. And...they show nothing new. just recuts from the trailers....

It looks like Marvel really learned their lesson.

The heads look a bit too large for some reason.

A final boss.

Does he transform a dozen times into increasingly bigger and weirder forms?

Sort of sad we're probably never getting a Marvel fighting game by NetherRealm. Marvel are really lacking in non-LEGO console games after they discontinued U Mvs C 3.

I'm surprised Marvel and Disney don't seem to be prioritising video games at all.

I think this is a conversation we've had before, and I suggested a Superhero Team Management Sim game where success is based on how well your team's comic book sells.

They still have that Telltale game coming out.

That's going to be at the earliest in 2017 after the Batman, Walking Dead, Walking Dead spinoff, Minecraft, Game of Thrones etc games/seasons, right?

What do we know about that?

Damn I want a marvel U superhero team management sim so bad I'd put Squirrel Girl, Gwenpool, HELLCAT, Ms Marvel and Shulk on the same team and everyone would have such a good time.
