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.

People will come up with anything after all.
And on Spaihts' script for Prometheus, yeah, his was a lot better. Seriously, nearly all the problems of the film aren't so much glossed over in his script as they are not problems to begin. I seriously need to wonder who let Lindeloff come in and rewrite it.
It's so weird that 1 month out from Civil War (less than that here), we still don't actually know how it is going to go down. I feel like there's so much we're not seeing, and the marketing is not giving up much.
Crazy people?

To continue, at this point in the marketing cycle, Bv S basically showed you close to the whole ding dang movie, and here we've barely scratched the surface of the tip of this iceberg.
I feel like the biggest 'reveal' in the trailers so far has been Spider Man of all things and we knew he was in it months ago. We know there's a conflict, we know who's with who, we know there's some sort of villain, and we could probably speculate endings all day long, but they've done well to keep things genuinely mysterious and up in the air.

I guess confidence means not having to play every single card you have.

Never really understood the point of redoing trailers with lego.
There is btw something I noticed about the German version of it. The part in which Tony says "The whole world was wrong about you.", in German he uses the plural "euch", as if he is addressing not one person but a group of people. Might just be a translation mistake, though....
Well, I think we can rest easy. I doubt we'll have an army of Scarjo-bots enslaving humanity.
...yet.
