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.

The Strange teaser was quite good. The visuals look impressive, especially since the effects probably aren't completely done yet. I was hoping that they'd let Cumberbatch keep his natural accent as he has such a cool voice, but he does still sound good here regardless. Tilda shaved her head (and kind of looks like "classic" Wong imo) for the role, respect.
In regards to the origin thing, I believe that Feige (or someone else at Marvel) debunked that notion. And there are certain characters who's origins SHOULD be seen on film as they're quite interesting/important in their own right. Dr. Strange is one such character, and Black Panther, and Captain Marvel as well.
The subtitle makes me think that Spidey won't be receiving an origin story this time around, which is good. Spidey's origin is actually a really good one to tell "on the go," both because of how simple it is and the kind of character he is - beginning the movie by having him already Spider-Man and then having him make reference to how he failed before and such, brief flashbacks maybe, etc.
The opening narration of the film could just go through all of the major beats in Peter's life in montage. With a quick nod to Civil War, obviously.
I really like the logo. Nice fonts.
Visit my Tumblr! I may say things. The Bureau ProjectChris Evans Describes "Captain America's" Motives in "Civil War" as 'Potentially Selfish'
Inhumans also due to nothing from Ao S mattering and no moviegoer knowing anything about them but that has been delayed.
That Doctor Strange trailer was not what I was expecting. I know nothing about the character, so when it was teased as "different", I was expecting something more "del Toro different" than "Wachowski/Nolan different".
The cinematography looks good and I have little doubt that the actors will manage to be convincing - now I hope the story will be as original as the setup makes it to be.
Just saw the Doc Strange teaser. It's visually interesting which is sort of what I expect from a Doctor Strange property ,though I expect more colour fro ma Doctor Strange thing.
Disappointed by two things but they're entirely personal. I never pronounced "Stephen" as with a "V" so this is going to take me out every time. Also that voice is more generic than what I expect from Dr. Strange. I tend to hear it as something more grand or sophisticated.
Oh man, you guys have gotta check out this civil war B-Roll footage, I swear seeing how parts of a movie get made are just as fun as the movie itself.

Okay, I am officially hyped for Dr. Strange. That looks amazing.
Also, I heard something about Spider-Man Homecoming footage. Was that just a rumor?
This song needs more love.
